I would love those yields bro. Time for me to get my ass training. I'll have to look into your trimmer. Great post. That is a nice amount of some killer looking buds. I want to thank you Myco for being such a kick ass grower and teacher. You really do get me to the next level. You are the most humble person too. I never save my trim anymore. How fucked up is that. I was looking at the SBD x FB aka HJ and I have to save that trim. I would love to get those strains tested for the CBD amounts. I would like to do it before I pick a pheno. Thanks for the pics.

I hear you about the testing brother. It would be really nice to find out what we're all medicating with. Another PITA that our government hands us to deal with blindly. Your looking for CBD too, not illegal. All I can advise is to take the trim blast it, and see what comes out. Keep track of the clones like you do, and when you do each batch you'll be able to get a better idea of what's in each plant. Pretty much all we can do really.
I think with the trimmer you would keep all your trim, and process it. It all just falls in the bowl, and then you spread it out on a window screen to dry. Pop it all in a jar or baggie to store, and use later, Love it.

Fuck yea. I'm jealous. But, dude, with the amount of dense, dank gnarliness you produce, a trimmer in sort of a necessity. Don't want to wind up with carpal tunnel from growing medicine to aleviate arthritis, ya know?One time I clamped a drill in a vice horizontally (even with the edge of the shop table), and used a long drill bit to trim my meds. Worked great. Little larfy though. So, I had to retire her.

That drill thing is awesome dude! I love being inventive, and I hate trimming, LOL. I hear you about growing meds for arthritis, and ending up with carpal tunnel trimming. Not what the Gods intended if you ask me. Your right about needing the trimmer bro, with a perpetual harvest I would be spending too much time at a table with scissors in my gnarly hands.

Today is all about cleaning out the tent, and getting things ready for the next run. I hate having the box down, but she'll be blazing away again soon enough. Until then I'll have plenty of meds. I'll also be getting the O.B. Rippers in soil today, and hopefully get to make a little oil too. I've been waking in the mornings with nausea, and it's been taking the wind out of me in the mornings. I have 8mg ODT Zofran, but refuse to take any. I should find someone with cancer, and give all that stuff to em. Especially considering the tablets were over $100 a piece. Before they were generic they were even more, WTF? I'm sorry to say, but Pharma doesn't give 2 shits about your health. If they did they wouldn't expect you to mortgage you house for medicine.

Anyways, I'll post pics of the drying flowers so you guys can take a look, and make up your own minds about the trimmer. Personally, I love the thing.

Have ablessed day everyone. Peace & Love. Myco

You are spot on bro. Pharma does not give a shit. It is a shame. I hope you feel better bro.

Post #1750 in the tea thread will show you your OBR phenos you will get.

I don't know how to take a picture from your thread to post it in here, but I would to class the place up a bit. Those are some amazing plants man, just incredible! Next on my agenda, germing Ripper!
Gods, the energy those pics just gave me is awesome man. All the ideas I have for breeding with those now, are insane. I have G-13 Skunk, Mink (WW X Sk#1), Afghani Skunk, Sugar Haze, SleeSkunk, Kali Bubba, Blue Satellite, and they're all getting a dusting from a Male, or the reverse. Oh crap, this is gonna be alot of fun. The Breeders Boutique gear will get it to, when they get ran. Messin with the autos for all that time, I got pretty good at selectively dusting a girl. Lots of ways to go about it really, it's just about finding what you like. I like to take a paper lunch bag, and sprinkle the pollen in it. Then take the bag closed, like you were gonna hyperventilate into it, puffed up with a tiny bit of air, but not enough to where you open it it will exhale or whatever, and then put it over your branch you want to pollinate. Hold the opening over the stem, and then shake the bag some. After you pollinate the flowers, pull the bag off, very gently, closing it as soon as it's off, and put it into a bucket of waiting water. Works pretty good if all the air flow is dead, and you don't want to fuss around with moving your girls. I never dust more than a single males pollen at a time, so if a bit does go stray you'll know where it came from. I'll take some pics one day of all the stupid auto seeds I have, I think you would be surprised. I was sick for so long, and I had alot of fun, just coming up with different names, LMAO! Plus it gave me time to keep detailed notes of everything I was doing.
Thanks for the pics over in your Tea thread man, what a boost for the day. Peace & Love. Myco

If you get any room to run another bean or two take a long look at the Psycho Killer from BB. I still to this day put my BB Engineers' Dream right at the front which is beginning to become a real good problem around here. The Casey Jones in your ED is a very special plant. Sorry to be a strain pusher bro. There is just so much dank to grow and so little time. For real. This morning's SM is a crusher. It's the Grape Dimetapp pheno. Smells like a grape popsicle with a sour chem zap at the end on the sides and back corners of your tongue.

It is definitely time for you to run some of those Bodhi beans. The SSDD will give you the yields you've been dreaming of mate. Just double the pot size from anything you've ever used before. If anybody can review a strain and see if it truly ranks with the best it is you. I'd love to know how GDG thinks Bodhi's gear rates in comparison to Gage and the rest.

Time for both you fellas to get BreedBay accounts. THAT place is friggin next-level. I'd love top be able to link you stuff there but it is useless if you don't have an account.

Gansalf, I am seeing the kind of elite stuff that I feel BELONGS in your garden out on the Bay. Next-level shit from smaller breeders. Tons of limited drops and auctions. You NEED to be there. NO BS, just like the Gage forums. My jaw just drops every time I log in there.

Myco, there's a guy on BB, runs a legit cannabis extractions lab, processing off mostly Bodhi gear. I have NEVER seen oil like that. And he gives away all his tricks too. Your mind will be blown. DEFINITELY people you need to meet. I saw that thread and your future all at once. The guys have actually come up with a business so jacked and beautiful it surpasses my wildest dreams. They raised the bar on dreams!!!

If you do open an account just make sure to complete account details or it won't pass moderation... Would love to see you guys on the Bay

Great info Hamish. I need to pop them. Keep me on point. You're right. I am going to look into your advice today. I appreciate it bro.

Breedbay huh? I have some limited time ATM, but it's definitely on the To Do List. Extractions Lab, check! Ok, so I'll be getting on that part of the To Do List a bit faster than I planned, LOL. Raising the bar on dreams, crap that's what I'm all about. I never sleep, and rarely dream, but it's something to strive for, 'Better Dreams'! I like that.

I decided to go ahead, and pop the Engineers' Dream, G-13 Skunk, and O.B. Rippers! I have 2 ED, 3 OBR, and I'm gonna pop 3 of the 10, G Skunk. Gives me plenty to work with for now, and not alot to move later. All of these are gonna be dusted from any Ripper male. But before that, they'll be cloned, and I'm keeping the best pheno after flowering them out. I'll then take the best pheno's, and hit em with the G skunk. I have a sudden desire to just start working with my own strains. I definitely will want to add genetics in the future, but even then I want to source them from non-commercial avenues I think. I definitely like the idea of smaller breeders on Breedbay, and places like Cabin Fever. With the access most of us have to genetics any more, as long as you take it serious, just about anyone can come up with something special, we see it all the time.

I really enjoy your descriptions of your strains Gandalf, always of great detail, and precision. Thanks for reminding me of the E.D. Gonna grow me some Dank bro, LOL! Gonna shoot you an idea I had in a P.M.

Have a great weekend folks. Get in some family time. Peace & Love. Myco

I thought about you bro. Take a look at this thread.

Alright a quick update for the Green Circle. I wasn't able to flower the Bay11 for a multitude of reasons, but also wasn't able to just get rid of her. I was trying to work her into a scrog net, but she had gotten TOO large, LOL. I just couldn't get her low enough without damaging her in a way I wasn't willing to do. When I was working her around her smells were blowing my mind. All this sweetness to her, with the most amazing pepper finish to it, YUM! Alot like my MaT was, and finished up in the end. I popped 8 really nice clones off of her, and moved on. I ended up taking 1 clone out, and replacing it with the SnowBud. I don't want to lose her either, and will be flowering the plant soon I'm sure. My problem with the SB is she has a weird leaf mutation, I think. It's a weird kinda fade to a lighter green on the leaf edges. I've seen it before, and am pretty sure it's not anything I'm doing, but take a look at the pics below, and let me know what you think. It's not on all the tops so I know it's not a def or anything. I'm gonna take another clone off of the SnowBud before I flower her. The Critical Jack Herer is looking nice, and I'm gonna open her up a little today. The small clone I took of her top is doing great too. The 8 seeds I'm starting are still below the soil line, but I'm very hopeful as it's only been a day, and a half I think. It got down to 73 in the dome last night so i fixed that, I'm sure it slowed them a bit. I've had to wait 7 days for a bean to pop before, so waiting isn't a problem, LOL.
I checked out the link Gandalf, I like the small breeder action. Definitely sounds like someone I could source some genetics from. I even like his name, and label. I even perused around BreedBay, and checked some things out. Lots of cool stuff going on over there too. I can't wait to start on my own crosses now.
I emptied out my veg closet so I can keep clones, and males in it. I have everything vegging up in my old flower tent, and when I need to I'll put the HPS bulb back in. For now i have the MH in, and everyone is doing good.
I don't know if i ever told you guys how i clean my hands after handling goo, and trimming. I like to use something called Salicylic acid, face wash. Alot of women use this stuff for a facial cleanser, and it WILL clean off resin. Put a decent amount in your hands when they're warm, and wet, and then rub it around grinding it into every nook, and cranny. Rinse off with warm water, and all clean. No scraping your hands with alcohol, and brushes, and crap like that. Just thought i would share, the stuff is cheap at places like Walgreens, and the likes.
I'll also post some pics of oil I made yesterday to show you guys what you can do with a vac chamber. No stickiness at room temps, and a crisp snap anyone could be proud of. I have to say though shatter material doesn't have the nose on it that wax does. I do however enjoy the taste a bit more though. Just my 2 sense. Pics later on that.
3 x O.B. Ripper 3 x G-13 Skunk 3 x Engineers' Dream
SnowBud w/ leaf mutation? I know there's a small CaMg issue, not that.
Critical Jack Herer. Just a beautiful looking, and smelling plant! Nice structure too.
CJH & SB
Bay11 clones, with a SB clone up front.

Well there it all is for now guys. Please, let me know what you think of the SnowBuds' leafs. I haven't tied that plant down or anything. Just topping, and a little stem work, and she just grows into a friggin bush like that. I'm really diggin on her, and want to see if I can do anything about that leaf issue to make her happier. I have more oil to make today, but will be around. I'll also get back on with the pics of what I made yesterday. I have a worm to melt for now, LOL.

Have a blessed day folks. Peace & Love. Myco

I see things like that here and there on a few strains leaves. I saw that on the Bubblegummer I had. I would chalk it up to some trait of the strain or pheno. I have read that leaf presentations like this are a trait of a higher presence of CBD. I know you have heard me say that a while ago. I did a bunch of research of the topic a few months ago. Your plants look wonderful. I would not give it a second thought.

I like the handwash you are describing. The fact you need the handwash speaks volumes bro. You put out the sticky icky flowers. Gotta love Snoop.

I bet they will break surface in a two days. It usually takes four days for me from soak to see the first ones. Have a great day Myco. Sending germination blessings your way. Take it easy. Enjoy the oil production.

You always come in with the best news bro. I had completely forgotten about the high CBD thing. Let's all hope that's what it is, LOL! My dang computer is down, so I'm on my phone. I'll get the oil pics up in a bit. I have a bit more to make today. I took 2 rather large capsules, and I'm actually hallucinating a little. Kinda funny really. Jammin Snoop, making oil. Nice day. Hope your day is awesome too.Peace & Love. Myco

Page 100 is turned. Congrats Myco. I believe it with the oil. Have fun. Don't blow up.

I've done that. It makes a great oil Looking badass as always Myco. I can't wait to see the flowers I know are coming!

I'd love for you to come see these bro, RIU not allowing me to upload pics today so I have to send you off site:

https://gagegreen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=2494&p=32817#p32817

I checked out the pics over at Gage, nice job on both Hamish. Those LVBK flowers are insane, sweet meds bro. The DB's are looking Nuckin Futz. Young, and frosty. Sounds like a weird daytime Soap.

Here are some of the oil pics I promised you guys.
Some of yesterdays' oil.
Oil from today w/ a chip from yesterday in some pics.

Thanks for the congrats with the 100 page thing. I think I'll go celebrate.

Have a blessed day folks. Peace & Love. Myco

That oil is so damn dark bro. OMG. Looks great Myco.

Holy shit those IG yields. Glad I picked that to start off with O.O

Thanks for sharing your story dude. I'm glad you've been able to find the good in life again. Keep on keepin on.

Nice to see a new face, sorta. Glad you stopped in Zfr, and thanks for the kind words brother. I recently have found alot of Good Good in life. It's all around, we just forget to look at times. The Iced Grapefruit is a killer start for anyone IMO. Watch not to veg her too long, she'll stretch out for you in flower, and then fill in like a demonic beast. Seems to be pretty stable in the genetics as well, all plants seem exactly alike so far. Best of Luck with your grow, let me know if you ever have questions about the strain, happy to help.

I have some killer news guys, all the seeds have now popped. The last one i was waiting for was an O.B. Ripper, but it's pushing the soil up, and on his/her way. Now I just have to keep em alive . I think I'll be OK, LOL. One of the G-13 Skunk's came up with a touch of yellow, but it will green up fast. I had a little myco web on top of one of the seed cups this morning. Just a little bit in the corner, but the soil seems healthy, and the plants should do nicely in it. I'm really excited about these seedlings, and the possibilities they bring for me. Plus my clones are doing great, and some of them have nice little nubs going for roots. I think I'm gonna take out one more of the Bay11 cuts, and pop in another Snowbud cut. After Gandalf reminded me of the CBD possibility it has, gotta keep her! I won't be germing any more seeds for a while me thinks, LOL.
O.B. Ripper x 3
G-13 Skunk x 3
Engineers' Dream x 2

I dedicate this grow to an anonymous person who can't be named. I do however want to thank them for some of these seeds publicly, they at least deserve that.

I'll keep everyone updated. not a whole lot to show now, but they all came up. 100%, and goin strong. Peace & Love. Myco

Looks great my friend. The dank is on. I am really pumped you got 100% germ rates. That is some great news. I can't wait to watch this run and see what you think of these truly great strains.

Thanks for the new sig bro lol...

I'm so honored Hamish, my first sig quote. I was really pumped to have had 100% germ with these seeds. The O.B. Rippers have some thick shells now. I still have one seedling with it on there like a cap, but I want it to fight. I'll watch it like a hawk, and if needs be remove it, but until then, it will have to fight a bit. Everyone else is open, and looking great. This will be my best run to date, I can feel it. That plus the genetics being a step above what I have been running, will make this grow special. Lots to do, better do it.
Have a blessed day folks. Peace & Love. Myco
