Exactly why I decided to mention “over here” which is 1100 miles away. But ya we are pretty open like that as long as we are in different statesLOL! Who doesn't love aweedingwedding
Wowza, that is a beautiful plant with the leaves off! Well done on the harvest but sorry about the 9 hours.
An hour? Were you scrubbing with a toothbrush to get the ash off?
Nice house guests your caterpillars are.
Best summary of low and slow that I've found is here by MrSauga.
Said no son to his dad ever!
Me being "as slow as molasses in January" doesn't only apply to trimming
...that hour did include the bucket prep time too, which involved a trip to the store for more H2o2...And that's the correct social distance for "bud boners"
Oic. This is making a bit more sense now!
Sorry for the late response,Boo- I didn't see your post earlier!That Chemdog was ah-mazing!I have a freebie Chemdog auto... Maybe...
I bought all they had (only 3 pints)- I know...people like me are why there seems to be a shortage of it...
Doc Bud created the process and he uses a 30% solution.
Mrs.C. does too- but she hasn't seen one since we met...
I used a pint to 4 gallons of water, along with the juice from one lemon- might of been a little weak,but it seems to have cleaned the buds up nice-
I go with 1:3 when I wash, because I am killing bugs and clearing out the PM. In a 5 gallon bucket that would be 1.25 gallons of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 3.75 gallons of water. I haven't found that lower strength kills the bugs.
Actually all he said was don’t mix the H202 and the lemon juice - didn’t go into why. I may drop back in to the bud washing thread and ask him...
Oops!, I've done it twice now...I thought it was a good thing that it fizzed a little in the second bucket
Fortunately, I didn't have bugs on either one (except the somewhat harmless caterpillars), and only a tiny bit of pm, which got tossed into the salve box (I don't have a bin
)Well, the trichomes didn't wash off, so it must not have been too harsh- I used way too little of all the ingredients anyway- If nothing else, at least the dirt and ash are gone now...
Thanks,Fred!
Thanks, Sy!- there was more on that one than I thought there'd be, hidden under all those leaves
Yeah, but my profit margins suck...I'd have some damn happy customers though!
Holy fuck!Thanks, BL!
It was my youngest son- they did go ahead and get married in a family-only ceremony on April 4th- the little family get-together 2 weeks ago was their postponed reception- there was about 35 people there,who did a fair job of social distancing/mask wearing. I was feeling generous that day, so 8 of the (lucky) guests each got a half an ounce of my last Alaskan Purple harvest- funny, I overheard my son telling one of his friends "Ask my dad for some pot- he'll give you a lot"
The "debate" was a total shitshow , as expected- I didn't see it (doing some preliminary trimming on the ChemDog) but I heard it. I wish I could un hear it...
ChemDog#4 Harvest-
While I'm here, Here's some pics of the ChemDog#4 harvest, which, of course, took
me way too long to do- 9 hours start to finish- about an hour of that was washing the buds
Before any trimming- 129 days old, flowering for 63 days, fed only MegaCrop....
Here she is after her preliminary fanleaf removal- That cat hung with me all day- I think he really likes the smell of this one.
And after trimming (she's naked, as promised, @TraLa
And a big ol' tray o' colas:
And the skeleton:
I didn't get any pics of the bud wash- my camera battery went dead and I forgot to put it on the charger till it was too late-
So...here she is hanging in the closet.
2 reasons why I'm not doing the low n' slow fridge dry method with this one- I don't have enough bags, and those larger colas won't fit in the bags anyway...The Dr.S. is still in the fridge, about 2/3 of the way dry.
Here's a wet weight on the main cola- 6.5 oz- doesn't mean much- there's quite a bit of stem there...
One more shot of another one of the main colas- there's 10 or 11 of 'em this size...
And that's about all for this harvest- Thanks again to @13goody13 for the seed that made this one possible!
She was a real easy plant to grow- Even in a little 3 gallon pot- No pests at all except for a few caterpillars that only ate leaves, she was immune to powdery mildew....and she produced a shitload of weed!
Thanks for Looking, I hope everyone's week is going well!
Lol I try!!good one Backlip!
That’s great you guys were able to have the wedding! It’s just so unfortunate the first one was postponed!Thanks, BL!
