HashMasta! Very nice! I want to be like you :) I need to grow some FlowaMasta method Ice that I can turn in to Full-Melt medicine!

How is your spring weather? It feels like Fall here now. Clouds fill the sky and there is a fragrant chill in the air.

I picked up some killer Japanese Bonsai scissors for trim time. The nursery that sells these has hudreds of Plumaria plants of all colors and perfumes :)

Congratulations on a killer batch of frost cakes!

Cheers,
Mo

Woah that's awesome Flowa :)

i'll have to find out how you do that soon enough, may have some good left overs to do it with ;)
Very easy Man :)

Bubble bags off ebay.
Heaps of bags of ice.
Only the finest frosty trim without any burnt tips stems or crap in it, so only the trichomes fall through the filters. and clean water :) I started with freshly cut and instantly frozen since harvest trim about maybe 1-2 lbs of fresh trim... sounds like alot but it's not when its fresh... I run my 'wash' bag first (220 micron being the largest pore size) This lets through small bits of plant matter and mostly trichomes of different sizes... I mix with a wooden spoon/metal spoon whatever you have it will get icy cold so have a glove you softies out there... I place the bag inside a 20 litre bucket and fold the rim over the edge of the bucket leaving a gap at the bottom of around 3-4 inches atleast, that area is for all the goodies to sink to as resin is oil and once cooled to near freezing temps the trichomes become heavy and collect to each other falling through the bags filter holes. Don't try to rush things to much, don't shake the bags, let them drain, slowly swish the bag around to help the water and particles separate.... it's only a small while and totally worth it if you want quality!
Then i go with the 120 bag, this collects my plant particles and very little resin, usually giveaway material or add to cookie or tincture mix.
Then i go with the 73 micron bag. This is usually where most of the 'GOOD STUFF' comes from, you can usually wash this in the filter until it's a nice clean meltable hash if done carefully without too much agitation for the first run.
I finish with the 20 micron to make sure i didn't miss anything, i usually get a nice small amount of darker smaller amber trichomes, more doughy in tecture then 120 grade crud and has a nice smell and tastes great and always does the job. 73 micron is the Bomb though, you can't beat that.

I'll be there shortly :) thanx for the compliments man!!!

I want to be like you :p your jungle is to live for!!! Our weather is getting better, today was around 26 c. A little warmer in the tent now, temps at around 26, ambient at around 22.

Those scissor sound handy! always hard to find good pairs these days, to many cheap crappy fake stainless brands :(

Thanx for the compliments on my Frost slabs :) Amaaaaaaaaazing to taste... it's like ..... it's like vaporizing pure Jack Skunk!! Very oily in texture, i fill the pipe with primo Jack first as the hash bubbles up and liquifies and can run the the hash screen, i smoke it slowly to taste each toke.... so divine. A strong FULL ON HIT immediately noticeable on the first inhalation, it pulls the lungs tight, you're not sure if you got smoke though... you exhale and a huuuuge cloud of vapor plums out

I love my bubble.

Jack x Skunk No.3 Day 3!!! sorry about the colour correction!, forgot to change it. I assure you the tops are not yellow at all. It's hard to balance the output of the HPS on the top of the plant where its brightest. Forgive my low grade pics! I am now much too high to go and try all over again lol

enjoy. She is much healthier than given looks!



I just HAD to snip another! off my outdoor ;)



Here is my other plant! Clones mother, Both indoor and outdoor are of equal health.

Ha! lol :) cheers matey! Outstanding macro pic!! I love the way the focus is sharp centered and shows great depth, something my camera doesn't have or i haven't worked out yet, My Camera is a Samsung WB150F compact digital 14.2 true Mp and the lens being a Schneider Vario-plan 40-72.0mm 1:3.2-5.8 24mm Wide angle Tele-macro lens. That was a mouth full! It has a very unique optical image stabilization sensor exclusive to Samsung which allows for some insanely great quality pics even at a distance, those up-close bird shots are at full zoom from over 10 metres away. Tele-macro being an infinite capable lens which can focus Macro up to 10m away. Including outstanding Macro capabilities at 3cm from an object using the exact same mode. The trick is to use 'Manual' mode on my cam to select ISO, shutter speed and aperture, so i can always make use of whatever lighting conditions i'm around. The aperture can go 3.2-7.8, Iso goes from 80-3200, and shutter speed capable of 1/2000th of a second up to 16 seconds long! I could honestly go on and on, photography is my new thing i love doing and take the cam everywhere

I love my cam :) $250 and she does this.....

Just the 1 in there Jimmy ;) I topped her early and again recently to gain another small cutting :)

Agreed! i want to see what shes capable of outside! definitely a summer strain.

Haha sorry man only had a brief read on the first page ! Im in europe at the moment cant wait to get home and start a few! Bit late but better now than never , goodluck man
Shweet as :p

Cheers for the explanation Flowa, might have to give the bubble a go hey :)
You certainly might! totally worth it, 1 suck on the pipe, and you'll be coughing your guts up floating with fairies

Thank you so much for doing this write up for us Flowa! YOu take the most beautiful photos. I look at them and i want to draw them so much ! and wish i could see them in real and smoke them up as well of course.lol///. i really would like to do your meathod in the near future. and I really really really want your camera as well.
Im starting a new grow next week but im not prepared at all to take on your method. i wish i was. im just kickin round wit my 2 gallon waterfarms still. did my quite well last grow but my Secret Jardin DR 120 tents are big enough to handle a much bigger plant . If i can increast my yeild 5 oz that would be a very positive step forward.
This is a great tutorial for me to gather the information thanks for taking your time and being so very supportive, positive and fun.

Thanx again Dr Amber :) great to see you here! Just a heads up... You're already prepared :p just need the pots n perlite ;) well almost, i'm sure you'll have your flowa setup up and going in no time :) when i finally decided i was going to just do it, i went round to 'my mates' got the pots, tent and the next day went an bought the pump and hoses and smaller things needed, and had it up and running the next day, knowing very little about hydroponics, with the help of my mentor i was soon on my way to fast growing :) It really happens that fast i barely get time to prepare, if i think i'm 1 day late in doing something, i'm usually 2 so i double check things daily. But really everything was easy to setup, the only fidly bits were the connections for the res and hoses, making sure to cut the grommets just right to allow enough pipe joiners through. I also replace all my hoses and fittings every grow, my airstone every month. The last pump i had lasted until the end of last grow then sprang a seal where the electric cord goes, so i bought a new 1. Keeping things new is keeping things clean and true. replace those cheap plastic joiners and rubber hoses. There is a reason why i replace these!! If you've ever looked inside your hoses after a grow, more than likely they will have a build up. This can be acidic salt, and can drastically alter the overall ph, can give you a false reading, or worse ph burn your plant, and you wont know why. You can't clean this stuff properly without chemical agents its as simple as that. Think of it as your plants 'photo lab' and everything must be shmick :)

We get back what we put in ...........

damn, i just blunder around the internet making a fool of myself, "there is only the one" ahaha THE CHOSEN ONE
lol, no fool man, honest mistake, i look at it, and it almost looks like 3 small plants hehe, you wait....... she won't be any higher than what you see now ;)

Whoa, how am I 4 pages late already lol definitely pulling up a chair
Cheers for being here man!!!

WOW MO! they are growing fast indeed! just amazing stuff!!! i want to walk under them and brush up against them!! like Cervantes walking through his plantations... A beautiful sight!

I'm still not sure on the stainless idea for a pot?? it is awfully massive, and a couple of plastic pots would be much more suitable for indoors. Not saying it isn't possible, just seems a little extreme.... BUT then again, who am i talking to!? hehe Mo Go for it! :) I trust your judgement, i mean as if YOU could go wrong :p

Samuarai snips hmmmmmm you'd look fierce mulling with them snippers! watch the fingers!

You know what else is beautiful?

Technology. I just love it when something new comes out as cool as this. This IS insane. $9000!!!? I want one. BTW.... yeah the melt hash has got me lit like a fresh candle. I can't do anything lol.

Current feeding schedule: CYCOFLOWER.Ratings all at ml per litre.

Grow A + B = 2ml

B1 Boost = 1ml

Silica = 1ml

Dr. Repair ( cal/mag and nitrogen boost ) = easy fix for deficiency with balanced PH buffers safe to use at 2ml. 1.5ml currently to up the mag to compensate for loss from transplant or mild shock.

& Floralicious from General Hydroponics. ( humic acid which oxygenates the nutrients and adds micro-organisms. ) = .25ml That equates to 10ml for my 40 litre res. Very potent rich formula so stir in well and make sure you have an airstone to keep agitated.

If you know of the Cyco regime, you may notice my list lacks uptake and Zyme. I don't like them, the Uptake is cheap and watery and the zyme always left my res feeling slimy. The B1 Boost and Dr. Repair is plenty of back up nitrogen and the base food has plenty of vitamins for root growth, so i thought to myself why have it at all, tried it once 2 grows ago and haven't looked back. My results changed dramatically. A much tastier Erb.

This can and does alternate according to how i read my plant, so stay tuned!!
