Been growing GSC and Blue Dream in years past.
Trying some new ones this year and the jury is out.

9# Hammer
Painless
AK 47
Blue Light
Dream Beaver
Do-Si-Does

I use a lot of compost tea and grow in bags from 15-25 gallon. I have the bags on moving dollies and can move around as needed which comes in handy close to harvest.

My Ak has some yellow to it and some leaves that turn towards each other. Concerns me some.
The Painless actually started into visible flower on the longest day.
Blue Light is going to be a monster, I suppose much like a Blue Dream.

I got some 9lb hammers going this year too, they're gonna shoot up too. Despite the training and being the smallest plants at planting, they're the tallest in the garden now

Are you going to hash with the dry ice hash method or the ice water hash method? I use the ice water method and have a small 5 galon wahing machine for that purpose...

I picked up one of those machines from Amazon and used it for my first run, it seems to work pretty well. After that first try I used a 5 gallon bucket and a paint mixing bit on a variable speed cordless drill. Both methods have pros and cons, but after using the drill I never went back to the machine. I could be totally wrong, but my impression was that I had a better chance of getting more trichomes off if I did it by hand.

I saw a video online of a guy who used the washing machine thing, but did not put the cannabis in the 220 zipper bag they provide. He said that he definitely had to clean the machine between runs, but that he got significantly more volume of hash from each batch by skipping the bag. I never tried that, but it sounds interesting. I followed another video and for one batch I used a boat oar to mix the buds and ice (in a 5 gallon bucket), but I think I've settled on the paint mixer.

I've probably made a dozen batches of ice/bubble hash, and the funny thing is I could be doing something wrong this whole time and I'd never know. I get great results but I have no idea how much better they could be...
(If anyone is interested in buying a used-once hash machine thing, let me know, I'd sell mine.)

I need to stop!
Keep clipping off bottom stems and cloning them. This time of the year they can pretty much just get stuck in the ground and they will grow.Nothing goes to waste. Many veterans around that love getting the plants.

Oh yeah.. Oregon Diesel started flowering two weeks ago, Blue Magoo shortly after. I’ll take some pics when I get back to the garden

This the same BB you grew last season? I remember that thing was beautiful.

I stir it easy for 15 minutes so i don't break up the trichomes.A drill motor breaks up all the tricks and sends them down lower with the less desirable stuff.The full size trichomes in the 72 bag make the full melt stuff.

I've been playing around with this. One time I did not spin the drill bit, I just used it to stir for the first run, and then did another pass with the same buds but but spun it slowly. As often happens, my experiments are thrown off by other variables -- I had one batch of hash where I was using fresh frozen, the other was with 6 month old jarred and cured buds, so I never have a decent "control group".

I have noticed sometimes I get powdery pale kief-like results, and sometimes I get brown sticky intense smelling (like the hash I smoked in the 80's) stuff. I think the second one is the result of smashing the trichomes.

My two girls today...started June 1 from clones...View attachment 4170876

And clones from both outdoor girls...blue markers are DJ Short Blueberry and green are Cannatonic

Looking great! I used to take clones of everything, I loved making one plant into many. I guess with legalization and the abundance of available seeds and clones, we started to drift towards variety over efficiency.

In an unexpected turn of events I was given a pair of J1's (my only photos this summer), and thinking they had been hardened I put them right out and they immediately got burned. I wasn't sure what was going to come of them, so I put them in #7 (sort of like a true 5 gallon?) fabric pots, and fed and watered them. They seem to be doing OK. Unless we get an uncharacteristically super dry fall, I expect I'll drag them inside and finish them under lights.

The first pic is June 16th, the second is from this morning. I hope they don't get too big, I sometimes find it difficult to keep a plant properly fed when it's too big for its pot.
