It works. #shatter

A mix of trim (40% Purple Haze, 40% POW, 20% Cotton Candy), nice and shattery!

Maybe this can save folks some money. It's *way* more controllable than a hotplate/griddle in terms of dialing in a specific hold temp. If you're one of the people who likes to purge at (IMO) crazy hot temps, you can put a piece of tile on top of the wire rack, and it will hold temp at 140-180...

Ghetto vac oven. The Brod & Taylor bread proof box ($150 at Amazon) is made for long-term temp maintenance between 80-120 degrees F. The stainless steel bowl sits on top of a wire rack that keeps it off the bottom of the proof box (a metal plate that acts as a heating element). In practice, the...

No, the vac is fine. it's pulling over 30 (as far as my gauge goes). A long, slow, not very hot purge makes beautiful clear shatter, which is what I want. Fast, high-heat purges make wax. I know there are some folks on here who love wax, and think purging should be done at 140-180. To them I say...

Those are going to be monsters come the fall! My first BHO run is in my ghetto vacuum oven, turning into some lovely amber shatter. I just flipped the patty and will let it purge another 12 hours today while we're heading out of town. Pics of the whole setup when I get back.

Yeah, doubling the wattage from 2K to 4K is definitely showing in my yields. I'm still scheming on two 5K rooms on a flipbox with a 2k veg room, but it's going to take another 6-8 months of grinding to make that happen. Trichome check on a Purple Haze, day 74, time to chop.

I want to see a picture of that sucker when it's closer to harvest!

I *reaaaaaallllly* hope it test 18%+. It is a gorgeous, great-smelling plant putting out huge buds. An update on strains: Ended up with 3 POW females, ranging from 15.5% to 18.66%. The 18.66% one is the prettiest and purplest, but not the biggest yielder of the bunch. It's the only one I'm...

Just to prove I'm not dead... The one plant four pictures down is a Purple Haze that still has three weeks to go. #hugebuds. Most of my flower room gets harvested in the next 4-5 weeks, the replacements are being prepped in the veg tent. I'm arguing with fungus gnats in some pots, the white...

Yeah, I have had to juggle my drying space around the house. I've almost got everything jarred up now though. I need to find a couple of patients around here who need a good caregiver now...

The first big batch of plants I put in flower have now been harvest over the past week. Three small POW plants that I was sexing, an OG13 and three Cotton Candy plants (with another CC due on Monday). I basically get one plant trimmed per playoff game :) The POW is at the lab getting tested...

Doubletake: LED lights never run at their full wattage. The LEDs themselves, if run at 100% capacity, burn out really fast. If I recall correctly from when I did all my research, 70-80% is a good ballpark figure (so a 1K runs at 700-800). $2500 is a bit steep. My two Blackstar 900s were around...

I am still using the same soil mix. On water, however, I got tired of throwing 80% of the water down the drain for RO, so now I'm using plain tap water. I fill a 50-gallon trash can (which is what led to flooding my basement last week...) and have four huge airstones on the bottom. I let it...

Whattayaknow? Pics. The first one is the three 2-gallon POWs that were put in flower pretty much immediately after they graduated from red cups in order to sex them. The second pic is a couple of Cotton Candy plants. All are at day 55.

The Dinafem Blue Hash is down and drying. I've got one more of it about to go in flowering, then I'll let it go. It remains incredibly short and bushy, which would be cool if plant count wasn't an issue, but I really need to get some big plants going forward. The Hazeman P.O.W. that I'm...

Seems to be. The humidifier is showing 45% RH down there. I'm going to take it down to 35% I think, then let it back up to 50% where I normally keep it.

Didn't turn off the water completely when I was filling the rez, now there is 3" of water standing in my basement. I caught it just before it got into all the power strips. Wet vacced 120 gallons so far, taking a break. While I normally don't think it's healthy to be drinking bourbon in the...

I'm talking to two different pre-startups about a technical founder role. One of them I think has a 75%+ chance of actually getting off the ground. The other I am skeptical that it will ever get enough traction to make money, but it's in the medical mj space, so I'm willing to be convinced...

The entire flash shoe (both built-in and external trigger) of my D200 has b0rked. :( I can pay $365 to get it fixed, or I can pay $800 for a new D5300 camera body. I've decided to do the latter, but not until I have a job... The last of the autos has come down. The Blue Mammoth produced a...
