hey jozikins,

do you do this for your dry ice hash?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Z9-dARjP8

it looks so simple...maybe that is what im going to try. super easy and cheap it looks cuz that med you gave me last night got me super stoned! but i woke up coughing bad from the oil in my lungs but feels good to be that stoned..

That is the exact method I used, but with a 5gal bucket, and I used a 160 micron thread bag, I don't know what they used. But like they said, finer screen = finer hash, until you get to the 25 micron bag. I want to try using my 73 micron bag. But yeah, this stuff mucks up your lungs, nice an d good. If I had 1 gal bags I would probably use those because the 5 gal bags can work up a sweat.... actually I don't give a fuck about hard work, just about how much time I waste, so I would stick with my 5 gal bucket. He is teaching patients, so he uses a 1 gal probably for that reason.

ya, that is a ton of kief he got! no wonder you gave me what you did, you probably have a ton! i have a ton left 2. that way is so easy and cheap! screw butane! seriously.i read butane isn't that easy and not all butane oil is equal. like you need to purge it all out or it will pop and spark.and it needs to be golden amber to be good oil. so no wonder is expensive.

so you have 2 4x4s goin on and what else? and are you just growing for yourself or do you have patients?

Allota how do you get those towering plants in those little half gallon containers?

They will grow forever in whatever pot if you keep em fed and watered.... being rootbound is pretty heard to do .. most problems that come from small containers are because they dry the soil out tooo fast and dont get watered.. or they pull all the nutes out of the soil and dont get fed ...

That being said .. my plants normally go into 3 gal and 5 gals indoors.. these ones stayed in small pots because I wasnt sure if I was going to sell them or use them.. I had too many cuts.. and I didnt want to put them into 5 gallons of soil.. I can give em away cheap if I dont have too much invested in the soil ya know .. but they need to be repotted.... I repotted the other 15 or so last night .. just didnt repot these because they are extra's

I also have a 4.5x9.5 main flowering chamber, and a 2x3 closet veg room. I do have patients, I work with several collectives, and their patients are my patients. I am also the care giver for my entire family, so everyone in the blood line gets free meds. BHO is expensive for a reason, and it can be very nasty shit if you don't know what you are doing. My old boss was the fucking man when it came to BHO, he would make this shit we called the Cali Booger, and it was so sticky and stretchy, but very clean and dry, waxy was definitely the second definition after booger. And I'm more willing to give this stuff away because it is easy, not because I got that much more. I did get more than I normally would because I could extract all the greener crappier hash, but that is for cooking with, if it wasn't as golden as what I gave you, it is for cooking, so it'll make some good edibles.

Bubble hash is way better imo, and the yields are comparable, but it's the ease of making the dry ice hash that makes me a fan for life.

I guess I'm not watering my pots enough, because I have never gotten anything that big in 1/2 gal container. Then again my SFV's demand oversized containers, and that is my main crop, but I still haven't gotten other plants that big in 1/2 gals either. If you ever have some extra plants and want them to go to a good home, besides the rest of our friends in the area, I am always happy to take a few off your hands. I have a lot of room to flower out and veg in, so I always have room to try something new! Of course I am also always down to trade, be it meds, seeds, or clones.

I like using 3 gal indoors because I can pack them in, but after week 5 I am watering every single day, it's tough! I know I could increase my PPM's, but if they are drinking as much as they do, that means my number is the magic one.

 

[Luger187]

ive been laggin on cuttin down my girls. i need to get on that so i can dry them out before the hash making party. i think im gonna just make hash with all of it because i got caterpillars.

hey jozikins, for the ice hash do you use a drill to mix it? id use a cement mixer attachment

 

[Luger187]

that guy in the vid did it a different way then i remember. im down to make some like this

 

[Gopedxr]

Whats up everyone! Just another long day got the beginning of a new green house coming tomorrow. i cant wait till everyone sees! I know alottaball is busy waiting to hear to back from him. I have never bought teens before so hope he did not take reply as a insult haha! I know he fident cant wait to hear back from him and show everyone whats goin on these days in socal!

Thanks again everyone your the best people out there!

 

[bonghittersanber]

damn rob niiiiice!! ya tyler came over like 2 hours ago we talked for a bit about a bunch of stuff.showed me the teens hes giving us..and WOW!!looking amazing!!!

got 11 pots filled with the soil. so we are good to go just need plants now.here are some more pics.

also the SOUR grape had another fucking branch break!!!so we tried fixing it last night but it just died today.so i trimmed it up nice and it smells so bomb. going to water cure the nugs from it and give a sample to alota, rob and maybe joseph.

jozikins, have you tried water cured bud? its pretty amazing.

Sounds like you got a bit o' work ahead of you, the best kind of work, though.
A greenhouse is high on the priority list for me as well.
Go Goped.

Hops

 

[kevin murphy]

nice mate..excellent little buds them pal..

 

[Jozikins]

Nah, I haven't tried water cured buds, actually. I've always been interested in trying it though. That Sour Grape looks pretty bomb trimmed up. I was pretty fucking lit yesterday, dude. I didn't hear you say it was Sour Grape, I know the guy that brought that Sour Grape to our corner of socal! That shit comes alllll the way from North Carolina dude. I've grown it a few times indoors, and I fucking hate her! hahahaha! She is such a tough plant to grow, and her stone is really sativa dominant, I didn't personally like it so much, but some people love the shit out of it, that is the only reason it came over here to cali, because some people were just die hard fans.

Oh, and I see you brought an outdoor plant back inside, that's a dangerous move, I would put it back outside asap. That thing can bring bugs and disease to new seedlings that can't fend it off. One time I got a little mildew on seedlings and they all went systemic besides one, I blamed the breeder for a while saying he gave me seeds with mold spores on them from his plants, but this is not the case. I've already apologized and he is cool, lol, I do not want to burn that bridge for no reason!

good call on the infection!
you should try water curing. i did it last year and it turned out pretty good. doesnt taste or smell much at all. i think if you make butter out of it, you cant taste the plant material as much

 

[kevin murphy]

new pics a few pages back from last page if the signature doesbnt work mate

That is actually a genius idea! I prefer to use hash for making butter for this reason, I think I'll look into water curing. But as far as smoke goes, I need mine to be as stinky and tasty as possible, as I am a vendor.

Man I wish I could grow in San Diego, such beautiful weather all the time. I used to grow in San Diego, I was seeing the hottest chick ever out there, and her room mates were growing poorly in the backyard, so I basically saved their garden with about 90 bucks of donated fertilizers, and I never saw a gram of it. I left it with them to harvest in the last 2-3 weeks, and they chopped it all down the next fucking day, idiots. Lol, the cuts I took and grew out on my hill turned out great. That is what I loved about growing close to the Hemet area, I could grow plants out alllll winter long and into spring. But I only grew 2 while I lived out there, my backyard was as transparent as an aquarium, I had to hide disguise my plants amongst the weeping willows. Wish I had ducks foot back then. There was a few times I was smoking a joint out by my plants and a neighbor came up right behind us pretending to be weeding their yard, trying to get a closer look. They never said anything though, we never cared enough to see if they were okay with it, even though they could clearly see it. Fuck it, I had my paperwork, lol.

I want to see that G13 dude, it looks like a fucking beautiful example of early finishing Indica.

yeah it would be good for making hash too if you were gonna do the ISO method.
last time, i put the nugs in my big glass jars. then i cut a piece of window screen that fit over the jar opening good. then i screwed on the lid, and let the screen form to the shape of the lid/jar.
to empty the water out, just turn the jar upside down =D
after i replaced the water, i would take the screen out and put in the lid so its sealed for another day.

but this time, i dont have any more jars(need to get some), so i used a big tupperware thing. the nugs like to float ontop of the water for a few days, so i opened up a ziplock bag just enough for a straw to go in it. i inflated it, and took the straw out and sealed the bag. i put the bag ontop of the nugs, and put the lid on. the bag holds the nugs underwater just fine.

also i use reverse osmosis water to do water curing. idk if it helps or not

I'm sure R/O would help a lot. I have lots of PM in my air because the mountain rarely ever sees temps close to 100f. Sometimes it gets a little hotter, one or two days out of the year, but there is so much shade the PM continues to thrive all over the mountain. So water curing seems like a dangerous adventure for me. But R/O makes a huge difference. I've never tried it, and could already tell you that it does. I like your plastic bag idea, very clever.

I hate ISO though, I've made it, vended it, got positive feed back, I still hate it. It's the queen of ghetto hashes. I like BHO or NHO, NHO is where it's at man, you can try looking it up but you won't find it, this is a secret among warehouse growers. NHO is sooo clean and potent, but dangerous as it gets to make. Nitrogen Gas, man, NO2, that is NHO. But I do not recommend NHO for the common grower, I recommend just cleaning up your BHO as much as possible, 5 times cleaned BHO is something that is truly amazing, like I said, we used to call if the Cali Booger.
