Errmmmm That Tangerine Dream sounds nice mate!..... Good job on the LSD herd good things about the strain!
Its a shame you all ready started the LSD's would of been cool to see 1 of the TD in the tent and 1 in the PC case to compare!!......I supose you could start 1 in there but its your call!

Lookin foward to seein you grow out these photoperiod strains for sure......Are you doin Scrog in the tent?....good luck

Sure does, eh?! I have, too. I'm excited to get some fruity smells to replace the trashy Easy Ryder :P.

I've been considering starting another couple seeds in the tent, but I'm hesitant to go for it. I do plan on growing five plants at a time in there eventually, but that will be a mini-SoG setup and therefore will require a mother from which I can take clones (necessary to ensure identical genetics -- an important trait in such a small space). If I started one or two Tangerine Dream seeds in the tent in addition to the two LSDs I have going, I'm really not sure what to expect in terms of overcrowding. With twice as many plants I would have a lot more pheno variance going on since they would all be from seed.

Ooh... Howabout this: I start one Tangerine Dream now and put it in the tent with the other two. Once I harvest good ol' Miss Rotty Stem, I'll move one of the week-old LSD plants into the PC case. Simple as that! The indica LSD should do better in the PC than the sativa Tangerine Dream. This way I'll also have a good starting point for comparison of the two strains in the tent and see if either would make a good mother candidate.

Ooh man, I'm talking about a strain called LSD from Barney's Farm but yours sounds delicious. I love citrus -- as soon as I saw Tangerine Dream pop back in stock I couldn't resist :). I'm just finishing a fat sack of Sour Diesel, and I can only imagine how delicious it would be with a little lemon. The LSD I'm growing is a cross between Barney's Skunk #1 and Mazar. It's a heavy hitting psychedelic indica that's supposed to smell like sweet tarts, heh.

The latter sounds like a plan buddy!!... cant wate for the TD, LSD in the tent(goin to be some crazy smells!)........ an the LSD in the PC should work great, with the photoperiod you will be able to full the screen to the max with a little veg.

If your startin a new thread for the grow be sure to let me know the name mate

For sure! I'm excited. Two more months until I can comfortably get high on nothing but my own supply :). I'll be keeping track of my future grows in this thread until I change my grow goals. Stick around!

Mmmm mm. My sour diesel didn't have any purple in it -- it wouldn't surprise me though. A lot of coloration has more to do with grow conditions than the strain (low night temperatures, deficiencies, etc).

Alright folks, the moment you've all been waiting for! I decided to harvest one day sooner than expected (~12 hour difference) because today is going to be pretty busy. I double checked my trichome development before chopping anything to see that I was sitting at right around 25% amber on the buds, just where I wanted to be at harvest! Good deal.

Final wet weight on Day 70 (10 weeks) from seed: 146g. Not too bad! This is a little under my last grow's wet weight of 168g, but there's probably only half as much bud by volume. The bud is so much more dense and closely trimmed than last time; I have a few nugs whose wet weights were 22g+. Last time my heaviest nug was ~13g wet. I'm excited to see how this dries up! I am still confident in at least an ounce. If my case had been filled up with the same amount of flowering sites as my first grow, I think I could have easily seen two zips with these dense nugs. I'll get a dry weight for ya'll ASAP!

I also got about two cups of *very* high quality trim (basically nothing but sugar leaves) with which I'll make some more iso hash.

Here is a slew of pictures. I made a quick make-shift "drying box" by cutting some slits and a hole into a cardboard box, lining the bottom with wax paper and hooking up my tent's passive intake ventilation tube to the hole in the box. This should take care of fresh airflow and smell all at once, since any "dirty" air will just be sucked into my tent and go through the carbon filter. I thought it was a pretty nifty solution! I couldn't figure out what to do about a drying rack, however, so I just laid all of the nugs flat on the paper. I'll turn them once or twice a day until they're dry. I also plan on breaking them up into smaller nugs and removing the larger stems soon.

(Also, I'd quickly like to say regarding the first picture: check out the size of the central hole near the top of the main stem! Wow, man -- it's probably half an inch across. Do you see that in soil?)

Nice mate very nice you did good again!!

Them buds are lookin sweet my friend....Have you tried a little?....Let me know the smoke report...im thinkin its goin to be different from the last but dont know?!?!
I think you'l get the Oz bro,....them 2 cups of trim sound nice......can you put some pics up of you makin the iso hash with the new method you was talkin about, im thinkin about givin it a try myself

Ill be back bud to check the tent and the new strains for sure see you here soon!

Hahah, let's call it a combination of both :P. My apologies for being so off and on lately guys. Between travel, quality time with the GF, starting the semester and keeping up with my plants as much as necessary I have been pretty busy lately. Luckily, my school schedule loosened up a little bit recently so I should have a good amount of time to work on all of the projects I have lined up! I'll keep you all posted as I make progress.

Nice mate very nice you did good again!!

Hey, thanks very much PUKKA BUD! I have tried a bit -- I quick-dried .3g in the microwave last night (2x5sec) and it in combination with my bubbler knocked me into space. Seriously. Felt like I was wearing a giant padded space helmet. Radical. Taste will improve with time and a good cure, but currently the aroma is of cucumbers and the taste is fresh with a hint of diesel. I jarred it up today (it dried pretty quickly because of the low ambient humidity where I am... I'll make a note to dry at a higher RH next time so it takes a little longer), and I'll be monitoring how the smoke evolves.

I'll do a write-up of my hash method with the picture updates below!

Thanks, guys :). Homegrown is best for the soul.

for sure... thats why i am switching to water too... lol... make some shit happen proper... lol...

Hey whats up agreenvin!, hows it goin bud?
Do it! Water makes my life spin.

Final Dry Weight: 32g

Not too shabby! This is after I broke it up into smaller nugs and trimmed off some stems yesterday. Like I said, I jarred up the bud today and I'll probably start smokin' it on the reg tonight. I'm pretty happy with this dry weight. The bud is definitely waaay denser than last time. If ol' Miss Rotty Stem's namesake hadn't come into play I could definitely see this plant putting out two zones. That'll be the goal for next time!

Here are some pictures (I'll get some better macro shots soon):
IMAG0528.jpgIMAG0527.jpgIMAG0531.jpgIMAG0538.jpg

PUKKA BUD, I forgot to get pictures as I was washing my trim with alcohol so hopefully a detailed description ought to do. This is based off of Hashmouf's Official Guide to QWISO Hash (includes pictures).

Step 1: Place fresh or well-dried trimmings in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Put frozen trim in large glass jar (peanut butter jar, mason jar, etc.)
Step 3: Add just enough isopropyl alcohol (91%) to cover, and start a stop-watch.
Step 4: After THIRTY (30) seconds, start shaking jar vigorously.
Step 5: After THIRTY (30) seconds of shaking, immediately strain alcohol from plant matter (using strainer or coffee filter) into evaporation dish. I did manage to get a picture of my dish:
IMAG0535.jpg
Step 6: Let dish sit (perhaps under a fan) for at least 24 hours. Give it a bit of extra time to dry even after you think all of the iso is gone.
Step 7: Scrape up leftovers with a razor and enjoy!

You can repeat steps 3-5 again if you're using high quality trim. I did two washes into the same evaporation dish because I don't really care about separating out super high quality from high quality, but you can certainly evaporate separate washes in separate dishes. I wouldn't recommend doing more than two, or you''ll start getting a lot of chlorophyll leeching and your hash will turn into sticky black tar (that will still get you blazed).

Later tonight I'll be cleaning out my grow case and moving an LSD plant into it from the tent. Perhaps more updates then!

Hey guys, long time no see. My bad on that one. I know, I know, as soon as I said updates would be more frequent I dropped off the face of the earth for like a month. But hey! I've been busy! I have some update pictures and info and stuff, but the main purpose of this post is to let you guys know that I'm still around but I probably *won't* be posting very much for the near future. School and other things have picked up lately, and I really haven't found the time or motivation to make any constructive posts on the journal. I mostly want to let you guys know what my plan is so I don't feel like I'm neglecting the journal. Which I totally have been in its current state. Oh well! In terms of update frequency, I'm leaning towards just a couple updates per plant at the moment. I'll post harvest pictures, general info, etc, but daily updates are not going to happen again for a while.

That being said, let's get to the good stuff!

Whats Happenin aggreenvin hows things goin buddy???
Heya PB :). Good to see you my man! I decided to cut it down to just one plant in the tent for now, so I have a Tangerine Dream going in there and an LSD in the PC case. I'm defoliating both, and they're looking great. The TD in the tent was started a bit later than the LSD in the PC case, but it managed to catch up size-wise so I was able to start flowering them both four days ago. I need to do some back-tracking to figure out exactly how old they are... but I figure keeping track of the flowering start date is probably most important for now :).

I have high hopes for the LSD in the PC case. When I started flowering it was filling ~25% of the screen as recommended, so we'll see how far the stretch takes her! I'm not ScrOGging the TD in the tent, but I am defoliating and doing a bit of LST. I'm looking forward to seeing what a "baseline" grow in the tent looks like before I really start tweaking my technique in there.

damn you did an awesome job with the space you had im thinking of investing in this http://www.directron.com/serverr800.html and hallowing it out like you did but i was wondering if this was a 12/12 grow straight from the seed or did you veg at all?
Hey Kap, thanks and sorry for the delayed response! That case looks great -- the hardest part is hollowing it out, the actual setup is nice, fun and creative :). Let me know if you have any questions regarding procedural/design stuff. The first couple grows I did in my case were autoflowering plants, so I had no control over veg time. Technically you could consider it ~2 weeks of veg before the plants started flowering of their own accord. Currently I am growing a photoperiod plant in the case. Due to defoliation and ScrOGging, I ended up having to veg it a little longer than one normally would in such a small space (not sure exactly, but around 4 weeks sounds right). But hey, play it smart and go by the size of the plant and the strain, not by amount of time passed.

Alright folks, I'm out of town until Friday but I should be able to post some pictures some time in the next week or so. Stay tuned!
