week7 just started, definitely seeing signs of maturity on the Remedy x Good Medicine and Lime Cookies Bubba
looks like trapper creek could perhaps go a little longer like 9 weeks perhaps,
hard to say with the catpiss x moontang; it keeps throwing clusters of fresh white hairs each time i think the swelling is thru.
catpiss x elmers glue fire cookies (both phenos, sweet vanilla and skunkypiss stank) look like fast finishers, frosty as all hell:

meanwhile, mixing more soil for another room that will have a bunch of sub-irrigated planters filled with brand new soil;
mix is 1 part peat, 1 part compost, 1 part aeration (half pumice half rice hulls)
then per cu ft:
1/2 of each: kelp neem custacean and frass
1/4 cup fish bone meal
1/8 cup bokashi
3 cups lime/rock mix made up of: 2 part oystershell flour 2 part gypsum 1 part basalt and 1.5 part glacial rock dust

^mixed and covered for a few days
while mixing i sprayed it down with em1, quantum, humic acid, aloe flakes, coconut water powder

also; the kiddie pool tent has a trellis dropped down on it and is chugging along, one pool jumped way ahead of the other, so i'm vegging another week in hopes of them catching up.
both have been mulched, worms added, and even a plastic liner over the mulch (just soil bags cut open and folded up
also the pools have a 1000 w HPS over each one

^ the prime kiddie pool

each pool has 2 strains, entire tent contains: catpiss x moontang, lime cookies bubba, trapper creek, and whit99

lately we have been making alot of glycerin tincture using a pretty quick and easy process; basically just grind a bunch of buds (an ounce or 2) into a quart jar, fill the rest of the jar with vegetable glycerin, put lid on the jar and sink jar in a hot water bath, simmer water all day or a couple days (quickest we have done is 12 hours). prior to this technique i would just let the plant matter and VG sit in jar in dark warm place for LONG time like 90 days, but lately making strong meds FAST is the name of the game. found these tinctures to be very good for people treating pain - and easier on the system. much less chlorophyll is extracted into the tincture than when using butter/ghee/oil or alcohol.

Would that be smoke able in a vape pen? I wondered about it seeing as though ejuice is a lot of times made with vg
Looking good!! Cheers!

not sure.... maybe
i don't do the vape pen thing really
i do know you could dissolve bho/rosin into VG no problem

Looking killer.

I have started making tinture that way as well. I would always to the fast method in a crock pot but it requires some watching.

Ball jars in a hot water bath is where it is at. I found it takes out less chlorophyll the the crock pot method as well.

I have had people use VG in their ecigs for years. It will work but I have little personal experience.

I would suggest trap plants to house predatory bugs. It has been working well. I live in a constant state of flux with the Borg, aphids and thrips. They all have the appropriate predators in the room and it works well. Sometimes you get a few damaged leaves but all in all not an issue.

I have found that since I have been pushing Ca more the note infestation seems to be waining more then what I am used to.

Increased plant health it really showing what it can do.

I have been having a problem with fade sometimes. I am thinking the crab stick around longer then I would like.

thanks for chimin in VP420,

Fed all the way to the end by the microherd, and not needing a starvation flush, I often dont get much "fade"... I have to check trichs.
Genetically purple strains still turn, but the green doesnt go on me... if I do see fade, I know its time to re-amend.


thanks burt!

Calcitic limestone will give you Ca without increasing excess Mg... something like THIS
Use gypsum with caution, because it can affect how plants take up phosphorus, magnesium, copper and zinc.

Use these gardening calculatiors to figure ratios...
https://garden.org/nga/calculators/index.php?type=limestone

You can also foliar feed Ca using a recipe like THIS

You'd very likely notice a pretty large improvement in terms of flavor... most who switch off of bottles do.

Avinash.miles, always love your style of growing. :lurk:

Ive been really into tincture lately, so i have some opinions on the subject. Using VG for a tincture usually isn't strong enough to vape from a pen unless you want to vape a whole ml to get effects. VG is great medicinally for body effects, but tends to be less psychoactive. I recently made an agave tincture using a solvent transfer from a Green Dragon tincture. It was quick and tasty. The agave is very similar to the VG in taste, maybe a bit thicker due to the heat (220° F) for the transfer.

If you're looking for something that is only a few hits, I would winterize some BHO and mix it with a small amount of propylene glycol under low heat. I usually use about 1/2 ml per gram of winterized and purged BHO. Rosin may work, never tried.
:smoker:

thanks y'all

seaf0ur - i was unaware of excess Mg in gypsum, i thought it was calcium and sulfur, will consider lawn lime in the future for Ca

just flipped the kiddie pool tent;
