Rest of the testers (goji stardawg and tigermelon appy) come down this week.

Both are RESIN MONSTERS. dripping trichomes. (dabbable sap even!)

The TA is a monster yielder. It set up around 12 cola sites per plant and I never topped them.

GS has tighter, denser golf ball style nugs but looks like a decent producer and has the edge on trichs. Greeezy, disco balls. I'll upload pics as I pull them out this week.

Have you main lined a plant before, and if so was the juice worth the squeeze? I've thought about trying this but I keep coming to the same (possibly wrong) conclusion; The benefits don't seem to outweigh the drawbacks. No doubt you will get a nice percentage of primo tops to harvest, but the extra time spent topping, training, topping, training adds a substantial amount on to the veg time. In my perpetual garden I think I end up further ahead just growing the plants out au naturale.

Disclaimer: I do not want to derail the thread or start an argument. Just curious. :-)

If you have the veg space and the schedule to fit an LST plant in I find they help me push out that extra zip or three, but if you try go for something nice and BIG they get so dense they become a hazard, and the amount of popcorn on a lot of LST plants is the big deal breaker for me. If you are dead certain you have a bean pole pheno it works better than other methods but it has to be beanpoley genetics or you don't get a bunch of big tops you get a bunch of healthy branches sure, but bud mass is a heart breaker and density can become a joke like two inches down the branch. Top once at most is what I say, more than that is kinda like a form of mental masturbation. Keeps you busy but serves no purpose.

Yield wise I can not really say since I have not done a side by side. Nor will I prob ever because it is a bitch to mainline a clone since they rarely stay in symmetry as far as branches. But the little mainlining I have done I liked, even if it wasn't the best strain for it, because it keeps everything symmetrical and clean looking. Not to mention the good support structure, and lack of larf on the bottom.
I will say that the best yield I pulled off the Space Bomb I was growing last year (smallest yields to date on a non 12/12fs plant) was the first time around when I mainlined it. pulled 2 zips per plant in a 5 gal. with a 45 day veg, mainlined for 8 tops, as opposed to 2 monsters I vegged for close to 3 months topped a zillion times in 7 gals. If you go for 8 there will prob be extra veg time, but I only went for 4 this time. FWIW though I will always be doing some type of training with atleast 1 topping, pretty rare a plant goes untopped in my garden.
I will post some pics of Lucky Charms in a few here when the lights kick on downstairs, she took to mainlining the best of all the plants this round. 4 nice top colas and a rigid support structure, although I will be putting a cage around her soon just in case. I am head over heels in love with this strain though tbh, dripping with resin, putting on weight better than the rest so far, and she reeks like cotton candy+skunk. Its hard to resist the urge to molest her buds every time I go in there just to get a whif lol.

Gorgeous Lucky Charms my man :-). Almost next near impossible to maintain symmetry of growth nodes especially from a clone. Once a plant grown directly from seed has reached maturity in vegetation it begins to lose its symmetry. A great visual tool if you do not have female pre flowers forming.

While I'm familiar with the snow lotus and now retires appy male, and will soon find out some aspects 88ghp brings, to those who've had the pleasure of flowering 88ghp crossea, what does he bring to the table? Taste, smells and structure? I'm already noticing some veg differences in the Afkan crosses. The snow lotus are tall and have large spaced nodes where most of the 88g are more squat in stature with closer nodes.

Well I finally made my bubble with my cheapo iPower bags, seems just as good as the stuff I see pictures of out there. Mixed for 15 minutes by hand in water I couldn't put my hand in it was so cold. Haven't weighed what I got yet, it's wet and super DUPER sticky.

Im a definite rook when it comes to ice/bubble hash.... Which size screen would one use to get full melt bubble? (not really interested in any other grades (if it don't bubble it ain't worth the trouble).

I love me some ice hash but I hate the term bubble. Much prefer IWE. It's a big contributing factor to me growing.

My latest batch just finished drying(kind of, going to let it go 1 more week). Mr. Mustache is right. It's all about taht 90u full melt. For some reason my grows never yield in the 73.

If you ever need help I have a guide written in full detail with pictures. :D

Make sure you break it apart very finely. I see lots of people drying it as a patty which will indefinitely go funky on you.

I've made dry sift which turned out awesome but was a pain in the ass to make and I've made QWISO hash, which turned out great but felt like there was something left over from the alc. I wanted clean hash to try. So I grabbed these $50 bags and am so happy I did.

Just smoked a bowl of the lower quality stuff and it tastes nice, first couple bags were a little green. But the 90 and 45 are pretty. the 90 is almost white while the 45 is turning red. That's if I got my piles right lol, I used that damn non-stick pad that came with the bags and that was a mistake, there is nothing no stick about it. So I transfered to a pyrex dish and chopped it up fine. I thought it would be more of a pain in the ass to make TBH that's why I left it so long. But it was super easy. I've read a bit of frenchies stuff and watched some videos. I'll post some pics when I'm not so fucking lazy lol.

I had a lot of whole nugs in the run so I threw them in the slow cooker with a lb of butter. See how that turns out lol. Left it cooking for a 3 hours or so. No idea how I was supposed to make it lol. Just kinda winged it.

Just made some myself. Used bags 73, 160 and 220. 220 toss, 160 toss and kept 73. Bags are getting a little worse for wear and I've lost a few bags but still works out. Yield wasn't very good as most of the Malawi was under developed and that constituted the most of my material. 3 plants in the next 3 weeks so I should have some good material to work with.

All good advice on ice hash here

Where is this guide you speak of, oh wise one!

I'd really appreciate it. Tired of making BHO. (not for safety reasons; if you know what causes explosions and avoid those conditions it's not rocket science.) But the law doesn't look too kindly on it and I just don't need the risk.

Go on over to the extracts. It's pretty easy to get into. It's even more enjoyable to select the quality of your end product. I usually do small runs in a bucket, hand stirring for 30 minutes each batch. I usually only use 3 to 4 bags, no reason unless you want more work and time draining to run with more.

Eta: always freeze first and freeze when it's fresh. One gets the best quality this way from my experience. And only use hand tools. If it's green, ya fucked up. It is labor intensive, and can be annoying in that regard.
