Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

merry xmas to all, and happy new year....may each year be better than the last.....hugs, L

Aww thanks L
Xmas was great, although the baby got shuffled into and out of every ones hands so much she didnt sleep well for the last 2 nights :( and neither did i or mom :( Hopefully she gets her rest today and recovers :) she was doing so well sleeping through the night 11:30- 7:30 We got almost 12" of that wonderful white snow :) think it was worse toward the coast though, here the mountains kinda kill off the power of the noreasters :)

Looking good BD! Merry Christmas to you and your family too, I'm sure it will be extra special with your little baby girl. :peace:

thanks blue it was great, just wish i took more time off :)
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

just a quick update 3 is done and chopped so i only have 4 and 5 in the flower box. I got a case of mites attacking 4 and 5 :( got some sns 217 and gave a good dose to 4 and 5. Might have to give them a second coating to kill off eggs. Man i have no idea where they came from and the pyreathrim dust is not doing a thing to them. The sns does work well but its so hard to get to every fan with my small allotment of time :( luckily 4 and 5 and in the very early stages of flower so no worries about using stuff on them. #3 had some on her but hope the deep freeze will kill them off. I ve been drying in the outside to keep the humidity down and i think dries better :) 6-10 are still vegging think i am gonna do a round of cuttings and get them ready for a mid spring harvest. Want to get at least 10 outside for spring and another 10 for late summer. Also getting ready to do a bean order. think i am gonna go with the barneys violator kush and pineapple chunk

Well hope every one is well and has a SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Seems like those damn bugs are everywhere! If it's not mites it's gnats.

OldMedMan is growing a violator kush, they get tall.

What are your outdoor temps like?

Good luck my friend.

PS How's the bambino doing? Wish you could post some baby pics for us lol.
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

GET RID OF THOSE MITES...NO MERCY...sorry about the yell, but they will own it all if you dont....they are horrid....i sprayed everyother day for nearly 3wks solid to rid myself of them....now i dont even think about clones without isolation....i hate those mites....bad juju....i wouldnt even do seeds until they are gone....

and spray after you see no more...at least 3 times...i know time is an issue, but they have no time issues....and will rule...

about the seeds...the violator is a great one....i moved on, but the kid is still growing it from a clone i gave him...and he loves it....one of his staples....the p. chunk is in the fridge, and i plan to sprout it soon....so dont know about that one....and yes the vk can be large....a bush master candidate....hugs, L and hubby:thumb::thumb:

Yea i know it been war with gnat first and mites now are winning but i am on the defense and also taking offensive measures. I also herd that the VK can get out of hand but i will stay on top and top lst and when all else fails i will pull yank and twist :)

We get a pretty short out door season here in the north eastern tip pa. April to oct. temp are in the 60-70 from mid april and peaks in the 100s. We had a mild fall, so had 70s up till early nov. Had our first frost in end oct this past yr. Its ok for indi dominant strains, but some shorter sensi, if you have them ready to flower by june. I plan to get my beans soon and get a momma going, so i can have cuttings already veged and ready to go out to flower.
Baby BD is doing great just got over one of her first fussy days with hardly any sleep over night for any of us. But we still hanging in there, Not my first wk of only sleeping 10 hrs total :( but it will get better and today mom tell me she is real happy :)
Pic IDK ?? Baby BD isnt even on facebook yet. and momma BD is a face book queen :) Kinda feel scketchy posting baby pics online still ?? Sorry
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

bush master works great....has tamed some of my worst if you use it the way directed, and then some....good luck, and i use the sns and azomax for the mites and gnats....all 3 of thosse products i keep on hand...hugs, L
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Thanks for the update BD. I wasn't suggesting you post baby pics here, bad idea.... just lamenting that we can't post stuff like that.
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

I agree 100% Its a dam shame we dont have equal justice for all. Such as the 10 plant rule or medicinal here in pa. Just wish the conservatives here in pa would get off their arse's DECRIMINALIZE MJ

Any how #2 is done just got to do a final trim and get it on the scale. #3 is done any drying. #4 &5 are still hanging in there. the mites are doing a number on them and i got a humidity problem like 10% AT max. 6-10 are just chilling and getting ready to make some cutting for the next batch :)
L the sns works great also using some dust but doesnt seem to have any effect on. thank god for the sns it working just hard to get every fan on both plants. Not sure if they will pull through but we will see here are pics from 2 & 3

Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

do you have the azamax? use it on the vegs, and put preditor mites on the budding ones....or on all of them, do it three wks in a row.....i used the azamax everyother day for over three wks....got a clone from a friend, drowned them once when i brought it home and put it in population....i had nearly six wks of pure hell....spaying .. finally bought one of those pump sprayers....drowned them....and drowned again befor i moved them up, after the first four wks....nearly got mildew and mold from all the spraying....never again....i do my own clones, or do seeds....you really have to stay on them...sorry, but the "borg" bugs are horrid....take care and hugs, and by the way, GREAT HAUL....CONGRATS....L:goodjob::welldone::thumb:

Thank you L. I am hoping for 3 if not 4 Zs for #2, 3 will likely be 1 z at most. 3 was my first attempt at soil and 50% nutes compared to the 5gal rdwc like #1 & 2 were in. Kinda thinking the flood tray is gonna be my next attempt with my soon to be cuttings. Just waiting till my humidity comes back :) I am thinking i need a cool mist vaporizer for my dome my last 2 cutting dried up :(
Yea i hate bugs thank god they are away from my bed :( Well as of the other day they were yellowing badly and i gave them a strong dose of transitional nute with a moderate dose of N even though were budding. Cant tell if the yellow is from the N being deficient or the dam mites attacking the leaves. the yellow is the whole leaf and not just spots ? #5 is as green as ever and only spotted ?? 4 is in a smaller pot 2 gal and not even half the size as 5 ?? 5 is in a a 3 gal pal and really bushy, I take some pics later and post tomorrow.
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

#4 sure is looking great, she's a beauty! Mites suck. Hope you get every last one of them.... nice haul in the jars btw it looks great, how's the smoke?
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

smoke is awesome :) 100% pure medicinal MJ :yummy: the trics are plentyful on this strain :drool: and probably One of the very best ive smoked. Smooth with that strong Gold hint, but a strong skunk taste. it expands hard in your lungs and about 5 sec after hitting the pipe ur in eternal bliss. Very strong sensi and defenately recomended for the long time smoker who is serching for that long lost powerful high you been missing, I hear the AG was the best in the 70s and i wanted to know what all the hype was about, I DID :)

The rdwc buckets treated me very well but very time consuming. the first 2 were Rdwc bucket. I since switched to ffof with a mess of troubles, gnats first, now mites. but lucky i have 2 locations so my mommas are all safe. So 4 &5 are flowering 5 seems to have the same traits as my first n second, very bushy. 3 was a small topping and lst trial n error, which got the mites the worst so i took her way early, 6 wks. 4&5 are in 3 & 4 gal buckets to see which will work better for watering and root ball size.
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

glad you found out....we had alot of awesome strains then....not too many...but we did have some keepers....glad you liked it...i have one going that ive been holding back....finally repotted her so she can grow....shes really taking off now....you're haul looks great btw....now go for the cure....and sorry about the mites....they're true borg bugs....wearing armour...very happy about the harvest tho...take care, kill all the bugs....and thats why we gro....all about the great stuff....hugs, L:cheer::cheer:
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

BD how long did you flower #2? Did they all go into flower together?

And most importantly how's the bambino doing?

:peace:
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

#2 was since 10-1 showed progress into flower 12/12 started in 9-10 so 3+ months, but i waited till 60% amber or so then did the chop. #1 , 2 went in to 12/12 togather just #1 had more lighting from the t-8 and had the hps the whole time i added my second 150 mid way flower and it sat over #2 mostly so who know i never rely on what the pkg says cause it depends on so many factors, lighting, nutes, cycles, media, and so on. Baby BD is doing great had rough time the past wk and think were getting past her first cold, we think its so hard to diag a 7 wk old so were waiting it out and getting through, MOM is a trooper :)
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

Well Hello all :) have some time to give you all quick update :) #4 & 5 are in flower looking ok little hurt due to the mites problems and quite yellow. After there done i plan to close the flower box for reconfiguration. They have been in flower since 12-6 and they will prob go 7-8 wks temps have been in the mid 80s and the humidity is a tad low to non existent. Also the mites are winning our little war but this late in the game, i am afraid to do any thing. I dry in freezing temps so the adults will die off asap, the eggs may stick around till it warms. So i trick them with the heated cab which cycles the temps during drying. So the eggs may be fooled into hatching and then the temp will die off :) Well i also found out my garden dust, which primarily consists of pyreathrim, dont stop mites :( i got a straw berry plant in early fall and potted it and brought it indoors coated the top layer of dirt with dust and coated all the leaves with the dust. well went to water the plant and its covered in mites too :( they are in totally different locations to be cross contamination :( Well and what do ya know i used the dust and my primary defense when i set up the flower box :( ohs well no use crying, just gonna slow down the perpetual ness of my box but great news is momma's are all doing great and up to now no pests :) so i plan to set up a new more low key flower box so when i set up the new box plan on getting some industrial strength killer to defend with.
Well this is the wkend to do all my cleaning up, got my still ready to do a oil run, iso run and bho run. Got over 1/4 L in trim/sugar/airy all ground down and ready for processing :) plan on taking some pics. I know its all not allowed to be talked about but hope some pics wont hurt :)
Well it gonna be my first wk end away since Baby BD came along. hope i dont miss them too much, Mom plans to go back to work in couple wks and thank god for G mom watching her, BC childcare prices are through the roof. Momma BD is doing well and almost back to normal :) Hope every one is doing well and smoking only the finest Available :) Keep it green and God bless :)
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

well back with some great pics from the wkend :)
first her eare my two in flower first is #5 then #4

Now for what you have been waiting for. We will start with the still. distilled 1000 ml of ei/hept mix. 6+ hrs to get little under 500. Then we then distilled the ei once more to get as pure of solvent as poss. Then mixed the ei with about 2 oz of sifted keif.
1-24_st.JPG
1-24_fnn.JPG

Love these pics, as you can see my screening was not great and we got a tad of leaf matter into the oil and it was mixed in the end so we can call it, Gold oil and black gold
1-24_fn.JPG
1-24_hh.JPG


next i sifted through 7 oz of trim airy budd and stem got about 1 z of keif and we did a bho extraction. since my ejector is small this took for ever and we did like the results but think the ei is the way to go :)
1-24_bu.JPG
1-24_bho.JPG

then with the pre sifted skuff we made 3 lbs of cannabutter in crock for 5 hrs. We then made brownies, choclate and thenm finally glycerin
1-24_he.JPG
1-24_gy.JPG

So for a final weight and take i didnt weight it as i had predicted too, but i had to split it with my boy who let me do all this in his house :) We didnt get to the iso extraction as we ran short of time. Next time we will have the either separated b4 hand as then we can get right down to business.
1-24_tk.JPG

the two rasors have my oil the lighter was the bho extract and the dark oil was the either extract. the black gold hash is the block cut in the bowl. the lighter green or blond has is a failed screen of a bho run that went wrong :) but still worth smoking. OUt of them all i love the either oil.
1-24_wk_tkminus.JPG

I wil lad the pics of the butter and choclate tomorrow check back :)
PS ALSO WORTH SAYING EITHER IS VERY FLAMMABLE. DO NOT DO ANY EXTRACTIONS WITH OUT A VENTED HOOD AND THE SCIENCE KNOW HOW.
 
Re: Basement Dwellers Acapolo Gold 2010

bd....
they took my butane stuff off....so expect it sooner or later....its all good, just a little dangerous for the management and legal i would imagine....and i can see it in the long run....alot of peeps dont follow proceedures right....my hubby used to make moonshine so understand it....right now we're waiting to do the cook off outside on some tincture we're making, have about two fifths to cook off to half volume....take care....good stuff huh? have you made capsules yet....they're fun...hate to say it, but i enjoy the tinctures as much as the smoke....very relaxing....and fast, under tongue, but nothing is faster than smoke...lol...:cheer:.hugs, L
