ezra, TML16, thanks for the shouts, i am enjoying my hash alot. i've gone from being a pothead to a hashfiend :sasmokin: I guess its one step healthier for the lungs than smoking bud so its nice. At first I thought it was too expensive to be worthwhile and then I remembered that pot is free for me lol. I was kind of down on my stash because it was to harsh to be smokable :badday: but then i started making hash and it was all good.

ChuckSlam, the elicient works well enough its still not quiet enough to be called stealth, also i had to tape up the seams on mine because it was leaking air.

Justin12421, hehe im not that handy. All you see is the finished product I didn't show alot of my stupid trial and error mistakes when building the cabinet. Whenever I build the next one it will be an order of magnitude simpler and more effecient.

mtnjohn, you missed it because I vanished there for a while. Nietzsche is fun to read!

Well heres how I have been making hash, i got to this method bey trial and error too lol and after shaking my arm off making jar+ice hash.

I chop up the bud with scissors, 2 1/2-pint jars worth. you MUST FREEZE it


run it for about an hour with finely crushed ice in the mixer on the lowest setting.


run through the metal coffe filter a little bit at a time, rinsing often with more water


I took a macro video of the trichs sinking to the bottom, i hate it when they scream.

let settle for about 40 minutes.


siphon most of the water off the top. (the jump in dates is because the pics are from 2 different sessions)


when you have reduced it enough, pour it all into a jar, let settle again then remove water with a medicine dropper. wash it into the corners of the jar.


in several hours you can scrape it up off the jar.

^^still wet

while you wait for it to dry you scrape the inside of the glass bowls with a razor blade


Its not the best hash in the world but gets me high enough. :wave:

hehe good hypothesis. :chin: actually the circulator fans are right above them, but the air intakes are on opposite sides relative to each module. could be though...

These are purple enough that you can see the purple in the pics. One of them has a very fat main cola, its hard to get a pic that shows how fat it is.


The purps don't have as much smell as the greenies have. Some of the greens are smelling alot like the papayas did (which is great). Some have a pineapple/cantelopey smell that I think is similar to what some of the papayas smelled like (they then turned more citrusy/grapefruity when dried.) That is what I am really hoping for, a clean citrus.

Most of all I just want them to be nice and flushed unlike the jock. I have been alternating between nutes and plain water, using less nutes and watering more often. You can tell that some of the plants like it and some -- not as much. They have all been getting the same dosage. I ditched my fertilized soil and bought cheap stuff that contains only sand,bark, and peat, and I added some perlite.

I am expecting to get some seeds from herm pollen left around the environment by the last grow, crossing my fingers that I won't see any more bananas this grow. You know I only found 2 seeds in the jock. One was white, the other looked fully mature, there were a ton of those little tiny ovary things but aren't those there anyway? I can't remember from my last grow, (and I never tried making ice hash with it). I sprayed down the growroom with h202 and mopped the floor, but I know its pratcically impossible to get it all.

TML16, One of the purples is going to have a relatively big cola. I can't wait to cut that sucker off

ezra, I willl definitely be tuning in for that one! It will be nice to see someone who actually knows how to grow (unlike me) execute the halfpipe :D

I've smoked all my hash so I am nibbling on tester buds. One smells fucking great, It even tastes good after a few seconds in the microwave and drying in the toaster oven. If it is good after that, I know it will be really good after a proper dry and cure. Another one of the greens smells alot like a flea collar hahah. I bought some nice scissors before last harvest, check them out. I had seen them in grey before but Target department store had them in many different colors in their crafts section (14$).


Lots of yellowing happening, of course it always looks worse under the hps than in the pics. I hope it doesn't become a problem.

sorry for going underground, no problems or anything, Im just an inconsiderate jerk. one week withouth posting becomes two, then its a month and then a year goes by.... So Im not going to do grow diaries anymore because I obviously don't have the discipline to stick with them till the end.

Yes I am "that guy" who can't finish a grow thread. oh well.

I lost my photos of the harvest. I got 19 1/2 pint jars (or was it 20? i can't remember) I have been having problems with mold in the jars, I was not letting it dry enough and then not burping enough, kind of a shame..... :violin:

just for fun I flowered some schwag bagseed under 2 40 watt cfls, wanna see?
out of about 100 seeds, about 15 popped, about 10 of those keeled over and died in the first week, about 4 survived into adulthood, but only one was female LOL

honestly I just did this for fun, and for my cat who goes apeshit for the leaves.



during the grow I was totally fiending and so i rinsed out ALL my empty jars with alcohol and got good results

its no wonder because this is what used to be in some of the jars


Heres the little cab.










got some purple pistils for the first time



I harvested before she was really ready





got a decent little harvest, came out to two jars


and a few days worth of QWISO!!!! which was the best part



Well I won't be around much but I just wanted to surface again to show off my new/old pics. My camera broke :cuss: so I don't know when I can make more.

tons more pics in my gallery
 
Awesome man, just read through the entire thing. Very inspirational, now you have me thinking about doing a modular dished scrog rather than regular scrog :) +rep man
