Interesting discussions. All I can add to the matter is the fact that there are a million and 1 different ways to grow and end up with a good finished product. Do what makes you feel happy. Personally I don't bother anymore with, leaving plants in the dark before harvest, making it rain, pouring boiling water on roots (or some people pour freezing water as well) calling my soils special names in the hope they'll grow better weed, etc, etc, blah de blah. I am simple, so I keep it simple.....perhaps I could try and make that into an acronym that the MJ community will pick up on and think is the best method of growing....

Does anyone else use FIREFOX, fuk me everytime I turn on my computer I seem to have Bing taking over my homepage, FF changes things on the freaking daily....and talk about running slow, RIU is like death warmed up. Now I don't have tiles on a new tab to show me all my favourites, I have freaking Bing....fuk off BING, lol.

So talking of keeping it simple, here's some Frozen Live Resin prior to it being vac purged:) (also known by a zillion other names probably)......I am a bit bummed (but not too much) as there is a lot of dust got into the mix ( I have smoked worse I am sure!). Naturally in the hope of not blowing up my house I do this outside, then let the mix boil off in a pyrex dish in the greenhouse. The air in there is obviosuly depositing a fair amount of dust in the mix.....
So, I was talking to a guy the other week who recommend using parchment paper. i.e lining the pyrex with parchment, then leaving excess parchment so you can fold it over and create a semi sealed environment for the butane to boil off (you leave a small opening in the middle for the gas to escape). Problem being, the parchment you get here is not as hardcore as the stuff in the US, so can be damaged by the gas( i.e the gas must be stripping some of the marchment paper off?!?!?!). For this reason I have kept away from using parchment. He said it also stops all that need for scraping the stuff up (a real chore I may add). I guess I need to find good parchment, Perhaps I could just use some over the top while it's boiling instead....mmmm. Anyway, a pic for you lot.

My special tricks with plants are even less tangible in effects. I sing to them, play them music, talk to them, ask them questions, pay attention to them, and listen to them. Don't think I could ever do a side by side because I would feel horrible not being connected with the side that I was supposed to ignore.

It's done me well so far in my growing career. :)

EDIT:
I'll bring a roll or two of parchment paper back with me if you want.

amen brother. While it is nice that there is money to be made in the industry, its more awesome being the gardener, loving the plants, and just having the spiritual connection with something that you are nurturing and bringing forth

DST mate sounds like you've some Malware on your machine, my gf just had a similar thing happen, accessing websites super slow. the malware hijacks your browser so it boosts the traffic to BS sites that have click ads etc. bit of a mare to get shot of.

I thought so, but I am running Malwarebytes protection, done scans and nothing there. Maybe I'll run another one today. An IntelServices thingy on my system seems to have been hoggin cpu which has had me with alerts popping up. I see others who have had the same problem but this is a microsoft thing, not a virus so it states not to remove it. Fuk knows as my wifes Mac is also having a mare with websites so we thought it might be the airport router or some other shizzle like that.

Parking was 30 euro a day. Tried to park the car outside the hotel where a few other cars where parked. Next morning i walked out of the hotel and the car was being towed away! After a long time of yelling and panic i got them to put down the car. They drove off and i noticed that they had damaged the front bumber with holes and deep scratches.. Ohhhh snap.. I went to the club..
The car was the most expensive thing on the whole trip. Not including 100euro/per gram of Kush Creme..
Best thing i smoked was Fire Og! Came back to get more and they were out..

I'm going to call BS on this one. I've done many side by sides and the alfalfa fed ones are always bigger and more vigorous. Now I'm not sure if you are talking about feeding directly with it as a top feed or through a tea but it definitely increases growth among other things but that's the biggest thing.

And since you don't like people just throwing there own words out here I'll point you to a study that was done and has shown the same results I have found.

I've been interested in Triacontanol on cannabis for a few years now, have conducted a few limited side by side tests and it's a substance I am actively investigating, I still have a few grams (enough to treat hundreds of plants) of lab grade 99.9% Triacontanol left sealed in my fridge still to work with.

I've read that paper you linked and all it references many times, if you take the time to dig deeper into old Triacontanol reports you'll find the ARS pop up a few times.

I also have a patent from the Procter & Gamble pharmaceutical company published in the 1980's (before the interest in Tria died off) outlining the methods by which a stable aqueous solution can be made, containing a sufficiently small particle size of Triacontanol in order for the chemical to be properly utilised by the plant from an atomized spray (unlike the crude fire hose/per acre tea method alluded to in the above link).

The fundamental flaw in these very few, very limited in scope and very subjective experiments concerning Tricontanol since the 70's is they all fail to recognise that Triacontanol is not water soluble, so can in no way be utilised by the plant without prior processing concluding that Tricontanol is not the factor responsible in the subjective tests.

This fact throws all papers concerning Tricontanol in a form without sufficient processing into the 'anecdotal' pot.

The limited suppliers of pure lab grade Triacontanol for the purposes of making a drench/spray solution cite the same standard recipe for preparation that has been running round the internet for years, the one utilising Propylene Glycol/Polysorbate 20 in order for the Triacontanol to dissolve in water.

I have used this preparation to no effect whatsoever on cannabis.

The Proctor & Game patent calls for the use of an ultrasonic homogenizer in order to get the Triacontanol particle size small enough in solution that it can be practically administered to the plant.

At the time I found the patent homogenizors/sonicators were costing around £400 for a simple hand held version.
These days they can be sourced for about £150-£200, more within my price range and I can also use it to make THC infused Haribo jelly sweets (something else that's been on the cards for a while).

So soon I can put the patent to the test.



I got interested in Tricontanol and cannabis after hearing tall story's of "buds the size of your head" emerging from non public forums.

I have yet to find a completed Triacontanol grow journel with any quantifiable results in any major public cannabis forum and I've yet to find a single photo of any cannabis plant from anywhere with a substantial yield even remotely attributable to Triacontanol.


I am very, very sceptical that these 'tall story' plants have ever existed until........

1) I see one with my own eyes.

2) The grower can explain the method by which the functional solution has been produced and it side steps known chemical limitations.

3) The same results can be recreated by others.


Until then I'm the one calling BS.

switch to chrome man. I find it much better all round.

I'd agree that Chrome has done me better than any other browser.

And I highly reccomend installing an AdBlocker extension. It's easy to do and will change the way you see the web. I seriously can't believe anyone looks at all the ads on the internet. Seriously.... Try it. You won't believe the difference.

I bought the tickets for spannabis online. Bad idea.. After standing hours in different lines only to be sent on to another line i lost my cookies and exploded on one of the "cashiers". She only spoke spannish and called the guards. One of the guards spoke english and i told him how fucked up this was. He pulled out two armbands and we could continue inside... WTF... So lame.. Actually i think its BS to call it international when most of the booths could only say: "Hello". Even the competitions where in spannish... Reading out the winning numbers only in spannish.. Blew my high plenty of times that not being able to communicate..
Even the guy in charge of weed at the club was limited to:"Im in love with the coco!"
Metro system was great, lol. :D
Bottom right @ 30 seconds :D

You'd think they'd at least pay an English/Spanish interpreter a poxy £100 or so for the day just to read out the official parts.

Damn. I feel your pain bro. At least you got to go home and understand people lol. Thanks for the stories and pics. Next time I'll be your translator... I should speak spanish alright by then.

While I was out today I had my choice of 3 little pit mix puppies someone was giving away. So wish I could have brought one home. Told the lady I was going back to the US soon... she said I could bring him with. :)

Got a birthday present in the mail. Nothing to smoke in it... but it's cool I guess it's for Tobacco Use Only. bwahahahaha Thank a lot to whoever it was who got this for me. ;)
