New England Veterans Alliance got the packs!
That is a very generous gesture @Schwaggy P! This world could use more positive energy. Good on you.

I am interested in the CBD stuff big time. Didn’t know until I got talked into a tincture at the Cannabis Cup but it really resonated with me, never slept so well. I bought some bottles of CBD tincture as stocking stuffers I liked it that much. Actually bought it at the dispensary. $$$.

Now to make my own but it is a crap shoot so far. I am working on Bodhi’s Healing Hashplant. & a couple others. Hard to tell without testing.

How was that Green Crack CBD?

Thank you, I'm glad to do it. :)

I can relate to the frustrations of trying to find the CBD heavy phenos without testing. The Green Crack CBD grows nice tight buds on an open frame, narrow leaves, and a very sweet tropical smell. I grow her mainly for a couple of people that find her to be very helpful in escaping their pain. I would be happy to send you a pack of the (Green Crack CBD x Jabba's Stash), just send me a message and we can figure out the details.

I'm currently working on packing up a new round of donations that will be going out soon.

I got the two-pack combo that came with two tumblers and one each 150 and 180. The capacity depends on the material going in, I usually just use it for sugarleaf trim that I roughly crush in a ziploc before loading it in. Threw together a quick batch and weighed it out; it was roughly
Golden Info40g.

I've found that keeping it 50-60% full allows for good movement as it spins. You can always crush it more and get more in the same space, but I'm in no hurry to work through the trim. A couple marbles helps move things along.

I let it tumble about 45-60 minutes before using a toothbrush to clean off anything still on the screen. Every successive round of tumbling will introduce more plant matter, so if you prefer cleaner product, stick to 2 rounds per load.
Golden info! Thank you for sharing your R&D. Much appreciated my dude. Which screen/mesh size do you prefer?

I prefer the 150 but ultimately, it depends on your goals and starting material. I run through a lot of different things so I deal with tacky, sticky, grainy, etc. type resin. The tackier resin does a little better in the 180.

I find the 150 allows for a cleaner yield on average, so if you're a regular dabber I'd suggest it. I did a quick demo to show it's application. I did not use all of the material you see in the second pic scraped pile, just a bit for the demo.

Definitely the concise info I sought. Props Schawggy.

how exactly do you pollinate a single branch using a paper bag?
I take the female out of the room, and carefully pollinate a target branch using a fine tipped brush. Once the branch is dusted, I put a paper bag over the branch and return her to the flower room. After about a week, I take the bag off and the branch is fully seeded without any excess live pollen flying around. If you wanted an extra level of insurance against unwanted pollination, after the week, you could take her out of the room and spray down (water) just the dusted branch to take care of any pollen that might go airborne. Also, be aware of any fan placement, don't tempt fate by facing the dusted branch directly in front of a fan.

This allows me to make quite a few different crossings in my staggered perpetual setup without sacrificing much of the final flowers or needed dedicated pollination spaces. Here is a branch fresh out of the bag

With credit to @vostok on this...(did I get it right? Drop a pic of that in use again please)

Interesting way to collect pollen.

Cut the bottom off a 2 liter pop bottle - small hole drilled in cap.
Carefully cut a close to pollen dropping male branch to fit in that bottle - Put the cut end of the branch stem through the hole in the cap.
Place the whole set-up into a glass just full enough that the cut stem end is in the water.
The branch will pollen drop over the next cpl of days. Lightly shake the bottle and the branch will drop more pollen.

Collect, being sure NOT to get any pollen wet at all! (Did it by cutting off the wet end of the branch first.)

Store in the freezer with a desiccant bag or pack......Rice - does NOT work to prevent moisture.

Always allow container of pollen to reach room temp before opening! Otherwise you risk pollen being killed by condensation!

Store for 6 months safely. After that, the viability deceases over time.....


You got a Bitch'in series going here Swaggy! Garden too!
