has anyone figured out the true meaning of vertical fan leaves? some have said they are praying for magnesium, others mention the nute ratio being perfect, then there is the thought of the fan leaves becoming vertical to lessen the amount of light they receive(probably worded that wrong). you have been quite successful, what do you attribute the vertical leaves to?

imo, tight nodes...small leaves...good plumbing system health... phototropism...strain’s growing habit...

Since i defol so extremely, the only fan leaves i have are small and are located at tops, where nodes are so tight that they physically are forced to “pray” if they’re healthy.

temp & time duration of pressing ?
Both platens 220F

1st press per batch, i lower platen and hold at ~50psi bag pressure for 2 mins, then switch to Test Recipe routine:

1 min, 220F, ~50psi bag pressure
4.5 min, 220F, ~750psi bag pressure

Repeat with new sheet of parchment.

I’ve found that w this press and recipe, it’s not worth doing a 4th press per batch.

Bag Pressure = (lbs of force)/(LxW of bag, in sq inches)

I haven’t done any work yet to find “best practices” for bud on this press...this recipe does the job for me at the moment.

The potency is, of course, great; but the flavor is something else, you want to make the banger glow just to taste it again....tasty, tasty!

I really can’t wait to start pressing bubble hash on it... that’s what results in pics like this:

The absolute best concentrate possible, any method, handsdown...

Looking goooood. How much longer based on the culls/mothers? 2-3wks?
Mom’s and sisters went past 10 weeks.

Except for 96OG, no yellowing leaves at all.

In both tents Jack Herer continues to disappoint with mouse testicle sized buds, Green Crack is way outperforming, Trainwreck and Original Glue on track.

Don’t think they’ll hit 1lb/plant, but will have good comparison between light configs, and some super potent bubble hash/rosin raw material.

We’ll see....

Where'd you get the Jack Herer beans? Sounds like some really poor genetics.
