Baywatcher's Basement Blowout

I'm always amazed at how tough this plant is. When we got in from the airport last night and I bolted downstairs, four of the 2-gallon veg plants looked completely dehydrated and dead. This morning, after last night's watering, they look fine.

Ok, time for some audience participation. I'm going to add a new variety into the mix, and you, my faithful readers, get to choose from the following feminized strains:

Dinafem Blue Hash
G13 Blueberry Gum
Dutch Passion Orange Bud

grows lookin great...I done dp orange bud and got hermies, real bad,maybe I did something but I don't think so,g13 blueberry gum sounds cool.

My audience is slacking on me!

While I was disappointed with the germination rate on the Third Dimension, I *did* manage to get one good female out of it.

ns plant,last time I ran querkle gotten 8 males 2 girls,lol...yeah give a smoke report if you don't mind, may wanna try those.

Will do. I'll also be having it lab analyzed when it's dry.

I just now got internet back on but my vote goes to the blue hash since i"ve looked at growing it before!

How was your trip otherwise?

I concur kind sir! I find hash in the morning a rather elegant way to start a busy Saturday. Plus the wife would kill me if I didn't vote for the blue thing regardless of what it was.

Blue Hash it is. I'll stick a couple of seeds in dirt today.

I did an interesting ice water (bubble) hash experiment last week. I started out with 10 ounces of really high quality Barney's Farm LSD and TGA Third Dimension trim. By "high quality," I mean I kept the top cola and whatever was one node below it, and used the rest for hash. Probably 2 ounces were dried, the rest was fresh trim.

I made six twelve-minute runs in the washing machine, and separated them in pairs: run 1 & 2 (A Grade), run 3 & 4 (B Grade), run 5 & 6 (C Grade). I used three bags -- a 160 as a trash catcher, and a 45 and 25. The 45 I kept, the 25 I used to make butter with. After a day in a cold fridge, I used a microplane to break up the masses (thanks Matt Rize!), and dried it for another day. I then decarbed in a double-boiler for 30 minutes. It's amazing the different textures that resulted, as you'll see below. The A grade is dense, black and sticky. The B grade is much greener, but could probably be pressed into a ball of hash if I worked on it. The C grade is like powder, and wouldn't press no matter what you did to it.

Grade A yielded 5.5 grams, grade B, 4 grams, grade C, 3.5 grams.

I cured in jars for a few days, then sent each sample off to the lab for analysis. The A grade was 48%, B grade 22%, C grade 14%.

Based on this, I'm going to do 2 runs and call it a day. It will seriously lower the yield, but since it's all headstash for me, that's fine.

I must be dreaming.amazin stuff there.

It's the first of the month. Did you clean your rez? *COUGHTC*

I did.

I think I commented on the hash over on frenchies thread, but I'll say it here too! Oooh lala as frenchy would say! I just did 2 qwiso runs this morning. Also all my new seedlings came up!!

Edit: Its the second of the month here and no I didn't clean my res . I havn't cleaned or changed it since I moved ( been about 3 weeks since I filled it). Honestly it is doing really well. I use H2O2 in it every few days, and I top off with fresh nutes about once every 4 days, and top off ph'd water every 2 days. My ph has actually been really stable since the move and the plants seem pretty happy. The plants that are about 3 weeks into flower might be able to take just a tiny bit more nutes, but the young clones don't need it or the ones finishing so they will cope. I run the same mix for all stages of flower for the most part. Some times I toss in a bit more Cal/mag if I think they need it but other wise it stays about the same.

Harvest time! My wife got me a microscope for my birthday. Woot!

The above was plant #2, this is #5

Looks good man nice scope images. I took down 10 plants last night too.

10 plants? I'm about to start trimming three and I'm sad You the man.

Last one for the day. This is some Critical Jack that has been curing for a couple of days in the jar.

very nice sir! i like the scope pics. I actually do a lot of microscope photography for work. Might i ask what setup your using to take these shots? Particularly interested in what microscope you have.

It's an Amscope SE306R-PZ-3M (on Amazon at least) with a 3 mp camera. The last image was a 20 shot stacked focus macro.
