Though I was going to be able to do this at the shop, but there where going to be people in n out all weekend and I’d rather not answer questions or make up some stupid lie. ( couldn’t think of one that would fly)
If they don’t need to know , keep it that way!
There’s people I deal with daily that don’t know I smoke & I smoke all day long lol.

If I just had more space this wouldn’t have turned into such a project...

Sounds like there will be some orange terps floating around the forum here soon enough. If I don't find a nice orange candy terp in these next few seedlings then I guess I'll have to keep trying, lol. I've had some nice orange pheno in the past but never seemed to have cloned them for whatever reasons.

Anyway pics,

sweet dixie looking very symmetrical and doing very well for how small I flowered her out.

That is 1 orange chance, now here's a few more
2 OJs pretty sure both are female, 1 tangerine power with orange smell on stem rub, 1 sunny d og v2(different mom)
then a small grape sat clone

I'm guessing the other oj, sunny d v2 and tangerine power are female cuz the preflowers don't look like balls, just waiting on pistils. Then I have the another tangerine power that is female.

So 2 tangerine powers, 3 Oran Jones, 1 sweet dixie and 1 sunny d v2, the 1 oj that is a month into flower has some orange smell but more lemon candy smell with a hit of orange. Hopefully one of these other girls hits the mark, I'm guessing the small tang pow with the stem rub smell will be nice like the last but I hope it is faster in flower, lol.

sweet dixie, mendo x bubba and the bigger tang pow (no orange smell on stem rub)20190309_211501.jpg

I won a pound if MC. Humidity got to it n I had to freeze it. It's thawed now into a lumpy pebble filledpaste...
Still gonna use it tho on my non organics (less highreguarded plants)

Has this happened to anyone else's MC?
Has happened to me,not to the extent you've experienced.Once thawed and dried mine was clumpy,never went back to a powder state.I weighed it and used it as I normally would.
I was concerned about getting the same "mix" (powder and clumps) each time and the original Greenleaf thread author suggested making a concentrate. Works like a charm. I have slow hands so I use 60ml/g concentrate to get 1.6 EC. Dust concerns? Open bag, tip into water, submerge upside down, and empty (slowly).

Looking great @BigHornBuds!

Good tips. I'll prolly do that when I get my 300g pouch.

Basically just got a pouch for my aero cloner, I use R/O water so need to put something in it to bring the PPM up enough as to not fuck the clones up

Sounds like my neck the woods. Though I cant fault the couple of dispo owners I know. They were growing long before it was legal and had the drive to evolve with the industry. But, for every decent shop owner there are 10 greedy fuckers who only showed up on scene when things became legal.



Some don't even try to hide it. They sit at the counter with a pile of dust filling pre-rolls, lol.
It takes a little leg work and a little homework but there are some good ones. Tissue cultures are an interesting alternative to ratty clones but I haven't really looked to far into it.

I visit for concentrates. Its nice to try different varieties and some of those extract artist have their game down.
Just to be clear so nothing is lost in translation.
What prompted my recent visits were a combination things (aside from it being a completely unplanned road trip due to family stuff)
Some may remember, last fall I sent a few units out for processing. I was really impressed with the quality so I decided to start processing my own. I've been riding the line between rosin and bho for a few months, undecided on which way to go and where to invest my time and money. There's a significant upfront investment and an even bigger learning curve.
Sampling the various extracts helps immensely....(I think, :eyesmoke:)
I still haven't commit but leaning towards a press.

Between rosin n shatter ,
Rosin all the way.

I had 24” tubes x 2 , vac chamber etc , i sold my setup for pennies on the dollar.

There is a lot of work to properly purge out the tane, plus if your not buying a closed loop, you’ll be always buying more solvent .

If I want shatter I’ll be smoking in a couple days , if I want rosin I can be smoking in 20 min.

After I’m done pressing , I save the pucks bag n all. I use them to make cana oil.
Bout 1p to 1000ml

I totally get that, but on the other hand I'm tired of hiding. My wife outed me to one of her friends the other day. She said you have tools to cut a piece of bisque fired clay? I said "yeah", her "good, chdkgksjcdbgk wants.......", me "you realize my tools are in the garage/garden right?".... her "Yeah, I outed you". My wife doesn't smoke or otherwise partake, neither does her friend and a few others that don't partake. Aquaintances that distance themselves after finding out are just that, aquantances.

Agreed. After 15 years and the changing legal landscape surrounding marijuana I’m sick of hiding. Fuck the neighsayers and negative stereotypes. I don’t flaunt it because I don’t want people knowing my business, but at the same time if people can’t accept it, well exactly, they can just be acquaintances.

Thank you. These kind of posts help a LOT.
Everything you've mentioned (aside from the obvious safety issues) is exactly why I'm leaning towards a press.
I run a closed loop now with a vac chamber. I'm at sea level and can get deep pull (around 29) and then leave it in the chamber for a min. of 36hrs purge.
I've been torn between upgrading the existing or taking that money and buying a quality press.
A press just makes more sense and those extra terpenoids are really where its at for me. :weed:

I’m not so much as hiding , vs keeping everything on a need to know bases for safety and to prevent stupid shit.

I didn’t see a need to buy a premade press for the price. And I wanted a small brench press for bearing .
You can piece one together for 1k
Chinese 4x7 plate kit (600w) is about 300/400 the temp will probably be off , but once you know how much it’s off your good.
Mines out 20f


My biggest problem has been ,
I now love rosin, it’s so good, I don’t want to smoke anything else.
I have an oz of good bubble hash , that isn’t getting touched because I’m always reaching for the rosin.

Agree!
After years of working in medicine and living under a microscope, on top of everything else that's happened, I just don't give a flyin fig what people think any more.
In every sense of the word, cannabis is a very healing plant and I'm done apologizing for something that brings quality to my life.

With that said, I do keep my shit hidden because I have other peoples interest to protect. No reason to put others in a position where they'd have to answer uncomfortable questions.

Sounds like a good problem to have but that's just me. bongsmilie

I have plenty of (unheated)barn space but zero in my house for a press.Do you see any problems pressing in below freezing weather if I wanted?

I've lurked in this thread for awhile.Awesome gear on display here.
