SuperSkunk Manifold

[H.A.F.]

LOVE these Velcro pots! Check this out, PERFECT for transplant. the roots are just reaching the edge of the pot. I think I have this "winging it" thing down

 

[H.A.F.]

I rolled it out to air out, and it keeps getting smaller...
I had 20g of larf that I messed with first. it hadn't lost a gram, so I put 14g in a c-vault, and decarbing the rest.
This it 70+grams, but still losing a little weight. @Diggs, the weight as it dries and cures will let you know where it's at regardless of time. The big buds lost almost a gram in 8 hours, the nugs only about a half gram from more weight.

Also, mess with your harvest exclusively over a collector of some sort

 

[H.A.F.]

This was just from rolling it around in the tray to make sure any moisture that got sucked out by the vacuum aired out instead of going back in the jar.

I usually make budder with the keif, You don't have to worry about straining it because it mostly dissolves.

 

[H.A.F.]

Here's an unusual bud-porn pic for you. This is 4 different plants decarbed with the Nova. I'm not paying to test the THC content of stuff, so I do a trial run with each grow to check the effects. I know that 50mg puts me in the zone after about a half hour. For good weed that is only .25g. Each one has a different 'feel' but all last 6-8 hours (so far) and of the 3, the bigger (GDP) nugs are the strongest.

The really red stuff was the last Superskunk with the huge buds I had to break up to decarb. I think it's redder because it was broken up. The pea-sized dark green ones are the GDP that hermed. two are around 20%thc, but that one GDP plant had to be pushing 25%.

The big pile is what I ran today and am testing as we speak​

My test is to try .25 grams and see. Usually works well, but with the strong GDP after about an hour I had to take a nap. I adjusted the dosage to 20g and it still rocked me but was fun. Not an every day thing though. 15g would probably be the ticket. Just thinking about the fact that I can get high at least 5 times out of a gram of weed still boggles my mind.​

Oh man were gonna have a few good conversations about edibles when i get this run finished up. you seem to know your way around that area Im completely new to it, like everything else in the growing game lol

Looked into ordering the Nova. obv dont need it right now, but i will be having one in the near future

Wow, either I'm really a lightweight or you dropped a decimal point.

I'll get back to you after I come out of my coma next week! Thanks for the catch LOL

I fixed it to .25g, or one quarter of one gram. Basically what you could pack into a one-hitter can get you high for 6 hours.

 

[H.A.F.]

So I logged back in to see what time I posted that. I have re-arranged my closets and have 2 plants ready to re-pot.

One I am flipping now (the one that already had leaves open) it is just going into another 2 or a 3 gallon, but with grommets installed to tie stuff.

The second is the 2-prong that I want to LST for a bit and put in a 5 gallon

The last one had a 500ppm higher run-off compared to the other 2 which is probably why she is lagging. When the other two get their next watering she gets flushed.

As to the edible report, very buzzed. good body high, I feel relaxed, but like I want to do stuff. Not work stuff but low-energy stuff. Artsy stuff - which for me is gardening

I think this will fall into my standard 20% THC column once it's cured, but for being week-old larf, this is effing amazing!

 

[H.A.F.]

Oh, and I ordered another 2cuft of Happy Frog. I have found that using it by itself it tends to shed water a little before it gets soaked, which makes me worry that the same is happening below. The Lucky Dog has a much higher perlite %, and drinks water like a sponge. I like to mix the two 50/50, but I have to keep myself from feeding them as early.

Based on my test tonight, buy when you harvest, it'll arrive by the time your stuff dries.

Look at edible websites (or just look for pages with recipes) and some will have a coupon code. If I run across one again I'll post it.

And I have "recipes" for stuff, but with the machine you can eat whatever you usually eat, and put some in. The biggest thing is the dosage computations. I have a chart I made, but the Nova lady has a page about it on her website.

@diggs99 just watch for is recipes that have you using a bunch of weed. If it is based on "their experience" they may have never gotten the decarb right. I never got high off a homemade edible until I bought this, and I tried several different decarb methods

 

[H.A.F.]

@diggs99 You can see from my typing - and the DILLIGAF on editing, this grow was a success Stand by for more.
I'm retired, and I may do up another dose and just keep being creative LOL
Here's the results so far since the last update.

Repotted - pics - feel free to ask​

Repotting in same diameter sucks

Light LST just to open it up to light and see what's in there.

 

[H.A.F.]

And because the whole time I was staring at the GDP clone, I saw the first sign of it being too crowded. Everything was growing like a weed (LOL) but there was one shoot trying to get out that had that dark-green, limp look from being right under another shoot. The solution? Beat the hell out of it!
They are now in 4 opposing corners, and are as stretched as she's going to get.


Everything now either goes vertical or gets pruned. I had to snip 4 shoots that were not going to have a chance, but were still clone-worthy, with more stretch than the ones I have been using. I had to prune some lower bud-sites off of shoots was what got this started. There is about a week and a half until the 3-week pruning, or basically after I see flowers, and by then it should be evident what will produce.

 

[H.A.F.]

I think that being warmed up will make repotting the other one a little smoother - and it being in a bigger pot. Working the soil around that other one was a pain.

 

[H.A.F.]

When I cleaned off all the shoots at the trunk, looky what I found.
I randomly numbered the 3 just in case they didn't grow the same. Number 1 was the one I just flipped.
Number 2 is a natural 2-prong manifold

And number 3 is a 3-prong manifold

All at the same 'node' or whatever, there were shoots every 1/8th inch on the sides and top of each limb. I had to carefully bend it open and dig in with scissors to get at it. I snipped 7-8 shoots on each limb, then they started having a little vertical growth.

So far I flipped one plant on the 18th, one on the 1st, and another will be OOA the 15th when the contest starts. I don't know how that is going to play out having plants at different stages of flower in the same room. I mean, other than remembering what to feed each one

 

[H.A.F.]

Well, I may have solved my crowding problem...
The small one I flipped broke. I had put gentle pressure LST on to open it up to light, but there were so many shoots coming out at the trunk there was a weak spot. I didn't prune this one up before I messed with it, I literally couldn't see what was going on. It split right beside the trunk, but didn't damage it or pull "strands" of stem down the trunk when it broke, it was just layed over sideways and hanging on.

I'll get a pic when the lights come on, but if nothing else I have another "lefty" that may be prone to herming. I trimmed it up and pruned some, then covered it with grafting wax.

To be safe I put a layer of wax on the other plant I repotted as a preventive measure.

 

[H.A.F.]

So the tentative plan for broke-dick is to give it 2 weeks. I would generally wait a week, but with it just being transplanted as well, it will take longer to recover. But hell, don't twist my arm and make me drop seeds LOL

I was thinking more about having plants at different stage of flower in the same room. I would be a happy camper if I was playing with a new 2-3oz plant harvest every month.

This is a longer term idea for after I run a SOG,

4 plants running constantly
drop a seed on the 1st every month
1 month to get ready to feed
1 month veg
flip
2 months(ish) to harvest.

Might end up with 5 plants from time to time

Also considered the "

no-veg" thing and just ditching the 1 month veg, but that doesn't really make sense because my closets are the same-ish size.​

 

[H.A.F.]

Also, stash wise, I'll be fine if I just end up with the GDP clone and one skunk (the 5 gallon) being all I end up with. I have to keep reminding myself that this was just to learn.

 

[H.A.F.]

Philosophical thought on losing clones:

If one survives, the time wasn't wasted, and you only wasted a few dollars worth of nutes
