Wow.. thats some growth in a short space of time.... Lower your light and they wont stretch as much... Great job... are you sure your a newbie...?
yea first time! see im scared to lower the light coz of the 3 adopties they are at a foot in height & if i lower the light im scared they will burn from the heat!

do u think 1 foot on height is good enough height for 5 weeks?
is it not 1 more week then i have to put them into flowering?
sorry had to edit the post as the boy i adopted them of got in contact & reckons they need 12 weeks of veg before i put them into the 12/12 how is that possible is there no way i can put them into flowering quicker?

anyone ever tried this before
Many ways
There are many ways to make hash. Flat screening and blender hash are relatively easy and inexpensive, but the final product will contain more contaminates than drum machine and bubble bag hash, which require some financial investment. No matter the method, hash makes great use of scraps.
THC levels vary in different plant strains, but the most potent hash is one made entirely of gland heads. Most hash contains gland heads and stalk as well as contaminates. Contaminates, whether vegetable matter or otherwise, lower the potency.
Blender
Unlike the previous methods which use screens to filter the trichomes, the blender method uses the principle that the resin glands are heavier than water, while other plant material is not.
The blender method uses water, ice and agitation to dislodge the trichomes. Ice-water makes the trichomes brittle, causing the resin glands to solidify and become easy to snap off. The glands are heavier than water so they sink to the bottom when separated, while the plant material floats.
To make hash this way you'll need a blender, ice cubes, a reusable metal coffee filter or silk screening, a large glass jar and paper coffee filters.
Fill the blender about half-way with skuff, then cover with cold water and add a tray of ice cubes. Blend for 45 seconds to a minute ? the mixture will become green and frothy, like a smoothie. Pour this mix through the metal coffee filter into your glass jar. Run more water through the filter to make sure you haven't missed any trichomes.
Once your jar is full, put it in the fridge to settle for a minimum of 30 minutes. You 0should be able to see a white or blonde coloured substance settling on the bottom of your container ? those are the trichomes. Carefully, so you do not disturb the trichomes, pour off or siphon off about two-thirds of the green water.
If you have more skuff to process, do it now and filter into the container you just drained. Return to the fridge, allow to settle and siphon again. When you have processed all your skuff, add a few ice cubes to the container and let settle one last time.
If you want to increase the purity of your product you can carefully put this settled mixture back into the blender for a final mix and separation. This may or may not be necessary depending on your preference.
Pour the final mix of water and trichomes through a paper coffee filter. The water will pass through the paper but the glands will not. Drain well and allow to dry. You now have dried resin glands ready to be pressed into hash.

i thought the same myself but they grow fast i used to look at other pics of plants and say wish mine were big like that etc.
I've had seddlings going for nearly two weeks now and are nearly the same size as they were last week... Lack of lumens...was the problem.. oh and pesky catterpillars... A couple of weeks this shit has been going on.. eating my leaves and rolling them selves up in silk beds..!!

yea first time! see im scared to lower the light coz of the 3 adopties they are at a foot in height & if i lower the light im scared they will burn from the heat!

Think your doing real well...
What light you using again..? think it was a 400w hps (not searching back as im baked)
Also whats the space of the grow room is... this will decide when you should start flowering really..
Think weed plants only need 6 weeks before they are mature to flower.. I read that somewhere..
Hows the temp in the room and air flow as this will decide how close /far you should have your light, if its 400w.. i'd give it 2 ft for now.
Also, if you want smoke for christmas then auto strains is the way to go, will be nicely cured by then....

Yeah that sounds cool to me... 30'c a little high but shouldn't be anything to worry about..
Just cos a seed cost a lot of money doesn't mean its the best or the strongest.. You get it for the stone it gives you.. I use pick and mix seeds.. you can buy single seeds from there..
