I see alot of 26-33% THC stuff on the market, but thier terps are less that 1 % or slightly over. This is a very misunderstood concept of how your body reacts to weed. Terps ARE the most important thing when choosing a strain to consume. 30% THC don't mean shit if your terps are 1%. But.. everybody's body chemistry is different are how Terps and THC affect your CB1 and CB2 receptors. Most of the time tho, terps are your friend.

i harvested and processed my experimental fim once banana kush from ilgm plant 98 days from germ in a tiny 3x3x6' tent modified with a hole cut in the bottom the diameter of the 15gal grow bag on a bonsai turntable so i could raise the tent approx 18" and running a 150 watt horizontally and 120 watt viparspectra led vertically in a corner.
foxfarm ocean forest potting soil with coco coir, perlite, worm casings added in, like 50/50, ff to my additives. used gh system.
i don't cure and process like anybody else because i have my own method that is the easiest for me.
so after what u smokers or growers would think was a terrible wet trim, because i leave leaves with heavy trichs that won't smother a flower, i hang about two to three days until the outsides are dry and then using my scissors snip them off directly into the chamber of my whole flower decarboxylator, used my ardent nova this time, and i did measure the weight prior to decarbing and the yield was 9.25oz.
when it was hanging i was wondering if it would make 4oz so i was pleased it made 9.25.
idk what the decarbed flowers weigh, i'll know when i stuff my filters for pressing.
since i'm decarbing before pressing i keep the rh on my flowers in the 70 plus range in the frig. even after growers do normal curing there's still lots of weight/moisture trapped deep inside the flowers, the whole flower type decarboxylators pull that out.
since i consume 1600mg of solventless decarboxylated cannabis flower extract daily, i can't tell if smoking decarbed flowers get u more stoned, but they claim it does.
here's the pictures of what's left before pressing. i'll guess 6oz of decarbed flowers which will yield about 20,000mg's of extract or 12.5 days for me at 4/400mg daily.
lots of work to make pills that u no longer feel any effects but u know it's keeping u alive.
i mean i know one of my pills would put an elephant to sleep but after 7 plus years, it's like taking a vitamin pill, no effects.

We were on the struggle bus filling orders in our bags, there’s just no easy way to do it by yourself. So what can you do with a dog collar, a piece of 4 in PVC, a camera mount, and a tripod?... kinda ghetto, but it works.. I can adjust height, angle, etc. Gotta clean it up and sterilize it after the silicone dries.

Since we are on a small break (about another month), and before we start back up, I thought I would educate myself a little more on bugs. I've only had Fugus Gnats, and a very small experience with Thrips. I found this series on YT about the Life Cycles of the most feared bugs. Anywho... get a good scope and this should help you identify anything unusual in your garden... enjoy!
Thrips...
Aphids...
Spider Mites...
Fungus Gnats..

I'm glad you said this, people can't hear it enough! People talk about high THC/one hitter strains like they're the be all, end all, but if you only take one hit, you aren't getting a proper dose of the terpenes that matter, especially with regards to medical patients. For medical patients, taking more tokes of a strain high in caryophyllene, for example, will result in a better pain relieving effect-due to ingesting a greater amount of the terpene. The push for high THC strains is the dumbest thing to ever happen to cannabis breeding-high THC means less of everything else.

Is the bitter sweet in that BitterSweet Haze GMO x Maitai #4? What's the Haze in it?
This strain comes from allot of work between two separate breeders. Monedita found an absolutely beautiful mothering plant to cross a California orange citrus strains known as Naranja Jelly with Baboon Cookies. This cross was later emphasized with another cross to enhance the floral and citrus aromatics of the strain. The Orange Kookie plant was throwing out beautiful purpling colors and hues, and along came a MAC ( Menthol Alien Cookies ) plant that grabbed Monedita’s eye. He just had to cross it and produce something with this monstrous beautiful plant. The work was tremendous, each plant coming from this cross consistently produced high THC from 26% to 34% THC levels and yields are consistently very high on each and every plant. Still something was missing what more could be done to make the strain even better Monedita thought and behold, a Jelly Gelato was discovered with the most amazing node structure, bud structure, and the smell was pure bliss. He couldn’t help but to cross it in. BUT WAIT … how about that citrus smell ?? It needed a boost and having an Orange Kookie line gave some citrus aroma, but how about boosting that with some lemon citrus aromatics ? So a Lemon Haze mother was carefully selected. Many who have grown lemon haze know it stacks big so crossing this in made plenty of sense to super boost the lemon aromatics, bud structure, and stacking of the cola ! THUS … Bitter Sweet Haze was created. ......copied from thier website.

We plan to veg out the BitterSweet, and Lemon Cane until I can take cuttings from her. Then take cuttings from Dosi at the same time, to create about 78 total plants. I expect a full room in about 40 days. Since BSHaze, and Lemon Cane are new strains, I plan to keep cuttings from each one until I see how they finish, and pheno hunt down those two. I've already gotten a proven winner with Dosi Whoa!.. I discovered that pheno about 2 years ago. Very consistent results and labs every time. I hope to find a pheno from every strain that finished like Dosi. It runs through the GreenBroz very clean, and they make monster dense buds. Very little hand finishing is needed. The last Dosi we ran made 312g per plant back in June, market ready.

BitterSweet Haze and Lemon Cane are all above ground, so that’s good. 20A46D12-0273-4E36-9081-00C9033CA7DC.jpeg

Dosi Whoa! (001), is begging to be cloned, and cloned she shall be!… been growing this particular pheno for about 2 years now.

Kinda excited about this next run. I feel like this is going to be a winning combo of strains. IF the seeds produce a good pheno or 2, we may run this for another year or so. We’ll see.

Really? Wow, even if I could control my humidity that much I wouldn't go above 50%, but I'm just a noob.
Well done!
Thanks!.. we do drop the Rh to 53-55 on the second week. Labs usually come back with 9-11 % water activity, which is the sweet spot. 15% is a fail, and you have to re-dry and re-test. Below 9%, and it won’t burn like it should. … too fast, and a bit harsh.
