~Star~Crash~ All & Everything

[flower~power]

Darn project started last March 15th and I’m not done yet. It looks so beautiful when I was growing it now it looks really horrible . I’m glad it’s going to hash. Definitely the right call all along.

Kind of funny managed to get a walk out with cookie & coming back noticed all the snow still on my roof …typically mine is that of the kind which reveals a heat signature..

Scored a Boston cream and a glazed

my last cold weather grow was shut down because of that. i came home after a snowstorm hit while i was at work, and my shed was the only building in town (that i saw) with no snow on the roof...

Webb telescope confirms the universe is expanding at an unexpected rate​

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Fresh corroboration of the perplexing observation that the universe is expanding more rapidly than expected has scientists pondering the cause - perhaps some unknown factor involving the mysterious cosmic components dark energy and dark matter.
Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than would be expected based on what astrophysicists know of the initial conditions in the cosmos and its evolution over billions of years. The discrepancy is called the Hubble Tension.
The observations by Webb, the most capable space telescope ever deployed, appear to rule out the notion that the data from its forerunner Hubble was somehow flawed due to instrument error.
"This is the largest sample of Webb Telescope data - its first two years in space - and it confirms the puzzling finding from the Hubble Space Telescope that we have been wrestling with for a decade - the universe is now expanding faster than our best theories can explain," said astrophysicist Adam Riess of Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, lead author of the study published on Monday in the Astrophysical Journal,

"Yes, it appears there is something missing in our understanding of the universe," added Riess, a 2011 Nobel laureate in physics for the co-discovery of the universe's accelerating expansion. "Our understanding of the universe contains a lot of ignorance about two elements - dark matter and dark energy - and these make up 96% of the universe, so this is no small matter."
"The Webb results can be interpreted to suggest there may be a need to revise our model of the universe, although it is very difficult to pinpoint what this is at the moment," said Siyang Li, a Johns Hopkins doctoral student in astronomy and astrophysics and a study co-author
Dark matter, thought to comprise about 27% of the universe, is a hypothesized form of matter that is invisible but is inferred to exist based on its gravitational effects on ordinary matter - stars, planets, moons, all the stuff on Earth - which accounts for roughly 5% of the universe.
Dark energy, believed to comprise approximately 69% of the universe, is a hypothesized form of energy permeating vast swathes of space that counteracts gravity and drives the universe's accelerating expansion.
"There are many hypotheses that involve dark matter, dark energy, dark radiation - for example, neutrinos (a type of ghostly subatomic particle) - or gravity itself having some exotic properties as possible explanations," Riess said.
The researchers employed three different methods to measure a specific telltale metric - distances from Earth to galaxies where a type of pulsating star called Cepheids have been documented. The Webb and Hubble measurements were in harmony.

The universe's expansion rate, a figure called the Hubble constant, is measured in kilometers per second per megaparsec, a distance equal to 3.26 million light-years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
Under the standard model of cosmology - basically, the conventional wisdom concerning the universe - the value of the Hubble constant should be about 67-68. The Hubble and Webb data give a value averaging about 73, with a range of about 70-76.
The Big Bang event 13-14 billion years ago initiated the universe, and it has been expanding ever since. Scientists in 1998 disclosed that this expansion was actually accelerating, with dark energy as the hypothesized reason.
The new study looked at Webb data covering about a third of Hubble's full slate of relevant galaxies. The researchers in 2023 announced that earlier interim Webb data validated the Hubble findings.
So how might this Hubble Tension mystery be solved?
"We need more data to better characterize this clue. Exactly what size is it (the discrepancy)? Is the mismatch at the lower end - 4-5% - or the higher end - 10-12% - of what the current data allows? Over what range of cosmic time is it present? These will further inform ideas," Riess said.

Got a couple trimmers working on some Wedding Cake today and later this week some Horchata, both from the LED room.
Next week will be a full crew to do the 750 hps room and then I need to figure out what to do with the 1k hps room.
Thinking about stuffing some freezers with a good chunk of it, including this Glue (and Guava Runtz, the purple leafed gal).

Morning all.

It’s all about the economics of the final product

 

[flower~power]

this was my thinking, and my experience..The thing about growing bulk outdoor for hash is If you can pull it off it’s a relief along the way when you know that you’re not really going for finished flower and can forgive yourself for any imperfections that arise over the season. Just think trichromes … not flowers

 

[flower~power]

If you’re like me and you fret over your plants, it’s a welcome relief

I think I recall some one posting a pic of a jar of rosin.... Does the rosin stick to the glass? I ask cause I might need to do that too.

I don't know anything about dabbing hardware too

Be surprised how quickly you can learn …. The process is after hash is pressed it goes into a jar and stays room temperature for a week or two, and there will be a separation of shiny liquid rises to the top when it gets reabsorbed it’s time to stir/mix it up then can get refrigerated. Once it’s chilled. It comes off the glass pretty easily.

For sure and that includes preservation of product and ease of movement of product. A lot easier to store and transport a bunch of jars vs a bunch of turkey bags.
Not really my wheelhouse at all but my trim crew does take downs for some of the best rosin producers in Michigan. I’m sure they could guide me thru a harvest.

Gonna be trying my hand at hash making soon. Freeze dryer will be delivered tomorrow and the press is being built. Now all I need is materials lol

 

[Treetroit City]

Nice one tonight.

Any of you ever make cannabis gummies with rosin? I ask because I have questions...

I noticed this fellow made some. You might wanna check out his thread. https://www.icmag.com/threads/fafos-world.18133285/#post-18845477

You should think ahead towards next season and do an outdoor large outdoor plot
