:D Since I like you guys :

I know many of us are overwhelmed with our crops, especially when we find pests/fungus on our buds at the time of harvest. Here is a great tip! After chopping, loosely place your buds in large zip bags (2 gal or larger, or tie up trash bags) and remove as much air as possible. Next, you want to completely inflate the bag like a balloon with pure CO2, seal, and then shake the bag to separate your branches, as they will clump together when you initially remove the air before inflating your bag with gas.

This will freeze your buds in time, and completely devastate any insects or molds that may be on your plants. Remember that Gray Rot will never be safe to smoke, but this will completely remove powdery mildew, and kill all pests. Caterpillars will typically drop to the bottom of your bag, but you will want to keep an eye out while trimming. If they get trapped in your buds and die, they will rot in the future.

You can leave your buds in these bags for weeks and weeks, and when you pull it out, the leaves will still be supple and standing up, just like the second you put in the bag, it will be perfectly preserved. This is an excellent way to halt your drying/curing process dead in it's tracks, at any stage of the process, and I've had things perfectly preserved for up to a month. Although, I would highly recommend checking up on your buds, as bags may deflate.

Loosely packed bags are a critical step, and it's important not to get stingy with your bags, if the gas cannot freely circulate, that area will not get the benefit of being packed in CO2.


You can use this with freshly chopped wet buds, or buds that have already begin curing. You can just fill your jars with gas if you are already curing and want to save the crop for the dry season and get a better donation.

I sprayed my buds with milk for the bud rot 2 days ago and so far no new outbreaks that I can see but the problem I have now is because I left the door open on the polytunnel it is full of flies and bluebottles, there's like hundreds of them. They are going from plant to plant and I'm worried that they will contaminate the other plants with spores so should I spray them with an insecticide or is introducing more moisture into the area a bad idea?

High everybody, I'm Freck. I thought I'd jump in and share even though the outdoor 2013 season is nearing its end. Holy crap guys, 555 pages! I thought Frenchy's hash thread was long at 200+. That is going to take a while to get through. I can't wait to see what everybody else's garden produces. In my OMMP greenhouse garden; 2 Agent Orange, 2 Cheese Quake, 1 Deep Purple, 1 Purple Kush, 1 Blue Magoo, 1 OG Kush, 1 Chronic, 1 Oregon Diesel(Harvested Sept. 25) and 2 Strawberry Tonic(Strawberry Cough x Cannatonic - 1 pheno of each) I started my girls indoor a few months in advance, and I transplanted them in the greenhouse on July 4 in an attempt to keep them from getting huge. The greenhouse is only 20' x 10' so there is not much room for stretch and I also lease which is a bummer considering these plants could have been enormous. I used a mix of 50% Super Soil, 30% home-made organic compost and 20% reused soil from last years holes. In order to fit them all I had to expand the holes quite a bit since there were only 6 in the GH last year. Harvest pics to come very soon! There are many more pics in my 2013 album as well as two 2013 breeding project albums and a 2012 outdoor album. Happy Harvests!!!!

Great to see all those lovely pictures, keep em coming guys, they may just well stop me from giving up, kudos to all:)

I visited my garden and unfortunately the bud mold is back on one plant, all I could do is cut away what I seen and now I'll have to spray again with the spectracide, it says not to spray 90 days before harvest but it's my biggest plant and I would have expected 4-5 oz from her so I guess I can make hash if the spectracide works.
Also I'm gonna have to spray the flies, it won't help my cause but I don't think I have any other option so I've made up 1 litre of SB plant invigorator but I won't spray the plants, most of the flies are at one end of the tunnel just trying to get out.

Fr3d12 good luck with the the mold and pest issue. Need to get some insect netting for the ends of your tunnel to keep them out.
Thanks Shelby.
The earliest I can get netting is tomorrow.
They are not eating the plants but my main worry is them spreading the fungal spores from one plant to the next but it's in the tunnel now and I'm 4 weeks into flowering, the weather is wet and humid with RH in the tunnel of 80%+.

Didnt someone post the Jorge Cervantes video of washing buds in Peroxide? I thought I saw it on this thread, I could be wrong.

I saw it on a thread where the OP caught some flack cause he was asking if a moldy plant could be salvaged in order to get some hash out of it. Most replies where in the "toss it you dumb fuck" vein, nothing really helpful bongsmilie
