When you say caps, do you mean you just put them in soluble gelatin caps?
Yes sort of, I mix the sift with coconut oil and soy lecithin, it's decarbed and baked a couple of times to activate it. They're quite powerful, 100mg caps which would be about 2.1g of kief in 21 caps get you stoned for a few hours. I've been making 60mg and if I want to get really high I'll take 2. 3 would get you high for about 24 hours, been there ;)

Here's the first batch of those Harlequin/CBD 60's from some of that sift:

Here's a step by step recipe I use, the stronger the starting material, the stronger the caps. Good idea to separate your kief so you know what you're getting into when you take them.

Cam overview of the gardens.

Top-Left: Veg Cabinet is full. A bunch of clones and seedlings going on the top shelf. Out of sight on the floor are 16 party cups with 8x Blue Ripper sat-dom F2's and 8x Blue Ripper indi-dom F2's. All 16 cracked, will see how many make it over the next week.

Top-Right: Veg Tent has 1x 10gal Blue Ripper sat-dom pheno. After those Fireballs turned out to be males, this was the only decent sized plant to veg for the next round. Have another 3 weeks to train and veg it, should be a good size by then. There's a small 1gal Blue Ripper male clone and a potential Blue Power Plant (PPP x Blueberry) F2 in 1gal behind the 10gal. It's smelling strong, will likely flower it out whether female or male.

Bottom-Left: Flower room is at Day 34 and Day 12 in there. The 2x 7gal Blue Ripper's continue to fill in and gain weight. The 10gal at the back has caught up to the others in height, may go another 1-2" and looking good. Buds are starting to set in. The 2gal Fire OG is acting up, overnight it slowed drinking after the last watering. Gave it a good watering with lots of run-off and will keep an eye on it. May end up just pulling it, nothing impressive about it anyhow.

Bottom-Right: LED Tent with the 2x 2gal Fireballs males at Day 5. You can see how big the one on the left is compared to the one in the right corner.

Looks like 12, maybe 13 of the 16 Blue Ripper F2's will go on, hats are off and away they go. Looking to flower at least 6 fems ideally. Have the first 4x testers as well about 2 weeks ahead of these. There's one that's popped through but is pretty well stalled, giving it one more day to do something or it's gone. Rest are shooting up fast, this pic was taken yesterday and they've pretty well doubled up since.

Pheno hunt, originally 16 into the cups:

It is good when they shake the helmet.

I never take the time to scuff them up and have had to
use the forceps and blade to assist.

Nice nursery there. :0)
Cheers JD, excited to see what pops :) Yeah, once they're off they'll usually go the distance.

Update on the 2x Fireballs males in the LED tent. Day 12 of 12/12, they're starting to flower, both are smelling so much that I had to get the Ona gel bucket out, don't normally scrub the air for males but these may need some serious odour control! Very nice, + rep to @genuity and Breeders Boutique, dank strain right there, hoping to find a female that smells as good as these to flower out :)

Pheno hunt update on the Blue Ripper F2's. out of the 13 seeds, I culled one of the original 13 which wasn't going anywhere, plus one of the four initial testers. I have PM in my area and it's always around. While I can control it with the environment I keep my veg environments in the 60's for RH, it's better and it also flushes out PM prone strains/phenos right away. One of the first things I look for in strains/phenos is their resistance to PM and have seen it enough that I can recognize the beginnings of PM. One of them had some spots on it which were looking like it so got tossed.

The rest are looking good so far. 12 of the new batch @day 9 and 3 of the original testers @day 20: Of the 3 at Day 20, the one bottom-right is looking very good, no defs or any signs of weakness, nice structure and vigorous.

Next round coming up. The 10gal is a Blue Ripper clone and looking good with 2 weeks to go, getting a FIM this weekend and just cruise it until the flower room is ready. Will trellis it this week as well, it's going to need the support :) This one will end up under another 210w bulb, for a few weeks I'll be running 2x 210w bulbs in there, or 420w ;)

The others are a clone of my Blue Ripper male, may clone then flower it out for some fresh pollen once I finish flowering those Fireballs males. A Blue Power Plant (BPP) sat-dom pheno that I'm liking the look and smell of so far. Haven't had the greatest luck with these BPP's, they've either been males which I don't need or crappy looking fems that got culled. Once I get through some phenos of the Blue Ripper I'll drop a bunch of these F2's and see if I can find a winner. The mother that produced the F2's was awesome and I didn't clone the damn thing so searching for something similar. This one has the right structure, leaf formation, colouring and smell so far, almost identical to the mother. On the right is a small clone of Harlequin that got up-potted early this week from a cup, just keeping it going for some clones later.

Slight correction to the above post. I mentioned that I ended up culling the runt that wasn't going anywhere after a few days. But all I had done was pulled the 3 cups that were in the culling batch and stuck them under the platform the seedlings are on. Only have party cups in there so thought I'd leave the cups in there to dry out for some extra humidity.

Went to trash the cups and found this little thing growing, back to lucky 13 from this batch. Could it be "the one"? idk but after abusing it I'm going pamper it and see if I can grow it out :)

Flower room at Day 42 and Day 19.

The 2x 7gal at day 42 are now set for the last 2 weeks, time to fatten and tighten up. These Blue Ripper's tend to put all the weight on in the last 10 days or so, will be interesting to see how dense they come out stretching that 315 to almost 3x4'. Size-wise the colas/buds are looking good and no shortage of frost on those buds :)

The single 10gal under the 210w is filling in fast for 19 days, doesn't seem to be any shortage of buds and they're a good size for 19 days. Room is smelling awesome with 3 of them flowering in there :)
