Yeah it makes great mulch and disperses water evenly. The clover hasn't popped up yet...you know how us gingers love our clovers.Rockin the rice hulls red ...... nice!

VERY interesting stuff happens when you do this. Usually clones off those re-vegged clones just ROCK. I quite like the funny look of those calyxes unfurling into twisted little leaves and then straightening out as it ages (on the new shoots). I find it pretty miraculous and absolutely mind-blowing. I mean it is literally watching life find a way to cheat death. Think about it. Absolutely miraculous.I've re vegged clones from flowering if you have patience you should be fine. Be forewarned, the plants become the craziest things you've ever seen. Ugly as all hell.
I belive my Mountain Temples and Snow Queen along with another pack of SSDD should arrive today. In the water the first two go!
What a coinkydink!!! I've been looking into the pure Afghan as well. ML gets rave reviews from everyone! Haven't read one bad thing about itYa know i was wondering if aging plants and clones did get a genetic drift. I've done some research on the difference types of aging of plants, which makes me think that it's completely possible plants change, particularly with it being an annual plant. I've noticed flowering periods seems to short a bit, but primarily that flower onset starts much earlier, displaying very obvious sex while in veg (no not auto flower).
tonight is my first attempt at a coconut oil extraction. obvious decarb first (220 F for 25 min) followed by 5- 6 hours of crock pot fun. Probably have 2 lbs of trim and the like in the freezer. Any advice or suggestions appreciates.
I also forget about other breeders now. Next buy is Sensi Maple leaf. Been wanting a heavy afghan in the garden.
eta golden goat is one clone only I'd actually really want along with bubba. Man did I love golden goat.
I am with you on your observations one hundred percent. Plants definitely change, unless they live absolutely stress-free and never ever leave the room even. So it has become important for me to figure this out exactly, because there are guys that have kept the same plants for 30 years that feel it has not changed. Like Clacamas Coot's The One. That cut has been going since the 70's.Ya know i was wondering if aging plants and clones did get a genetic drift.

My personal opinion on that is most definitely. I have myself never had a revegged plant come out exactly like the mom. Sometimes I liked the difference, sometimes not at all. If you flower the re-vegged plant itself you will see a HUGE difference. Clones will do a lot better and only have a subtle difference from the original bud. But it is always different in my case. But I am just one guy so not claiming it is going to happen every time...There are some 10+yr old strains that I haven't noticed any change in flavor/effect.
They seem to grow more flimsy in supporting weight of the buds.
I've never had to re-veg a plant< does it significantly change the quality of the final product?
And you will be better still next year, and the year after that, and then some... Just no ceiling to this hobbyMy goji only has gotten better, but I've become a better grower since the last year.
I know and that's part of the love that is gardening in general. Plus there are different ways of cultivating I'd still love to try one day, hydro. Won't do it in an apartment, too many things can go wrong. last thing I need is some reservoir tipping over and going into the next apartment. Plus I'm pretty much limited on my circuit at this timeAnd you will be better still next year, and the year after that, and then some... Just no ceiling to this hobby

I'll let you know how it is in a few weeks. If I were basing keepers off of looks alone, these would have hit the trash bin already. Tiny little things, with very little trichome coverage. I know better than to judge a book by it's cover, but man these things don't look impressive at all!I am with you on your observations one hundred percent.

Too bad indeed!Re: Coconut oil infusion. I do mine on the stove top. 1/2 oz of bud/trim to 1 cup coconut oil. I bring it to around 220 degrees, and simmer it there for about 3 hours stirring/mashing every half hour or so. Remove from heat, and let cool for about an hour then strain in to jar or gel caps. Very easy. I have a butter ecipe too that is great for making chocolates, but it takes a couple days to make the butter. I actually just made a batch. Too bad we don't live close by otherwise I'd share.

I can't say for sure. My crock pot only has a high/low setting on it, so I use the stove top with a candy thermometer and it lets me dial it in to a pretty precise temp. I'd say as long as you're in the 200-250 degree range for 2-3 hours you will be good.Too bad indeed!
Now do you think this method is better than using a crock pot? Seems a bit more time/labor intensive
Thanks mate! I'll take some photos of the process in case anyone is interested or could provide critiques later on.I can't say for sure.

Well I shall definitely post it since there is interest. Besides all the trim /leaf is from Bodhi plants so its relevant.I'd like to know more about your process
5 gal pails filled w/ 3 gals liquid is darn hard to tip over if you were trying too. 5 gal tote bins/lids are wider and lower - nearly impossible to tip over. They' re pretty heavy, but the time to move them is on reservoir change day: empty, move, refill...and the few minutes shot of pure air always seems to make 'em smile.I know and that's part of the love that is gardening in general.

Well I have in my mind the ideal hydro setup, which would include self draining and filling. Back is bad enough that I hate bringing up bags of happy frog, but moving water is much heavier and I don't want to inadvertently spill.5 gal pails filled w/ 3 gals liquid is darn hard to tip over if you were trying too. 5 gal tote bins/lids are wider and lower - nearly impossible to tip over.
