Looking good mate

Thanks Absorber. I do spend some time just looking at them and zoning.

I find myself being a bit forgetful. I make list and have a routine for most repeating everyday activities.

No hurry, as I won't be running it till after winter. I've watched a few videos on setting up and running CO2 on You Tube. Seems pretty simple. I'll probably have to get some of those gaskets/washers to seal the tank/regulator, controller connections, so I won't be losing gas. They probably sell them where the tank will be filled. I've lost a lot of propane from leaky fittings on our outside propane tank. Luckily the propane company took a lot of responsibility and gave me a large credit. Now I'm pretty conscious of leaking connections.

I keep a bottle of soap and water mix of two tablespoons of dawn in a quart to keep tabs on that . It will blow bubbles pretty quickly .

 

[gwhunran]

Yeah, I have a few spay bottles floating around. I use them a lot, mostly straight water. I can repurpose one for leak detection.

I am taking a break from the Golden Tiger harvest. One down, two to go. I still have to trim. It's gonna be a lot I think.

I have been following the thread for a little while and have read a few dozen pages in the beginning. I made it with an outdoor Fuel D.OG and I think it was too dry when I started. Mixed results. It's been curing about a month.
I will make it with some of the lower bud from the Golden Tiger, it'll be damp this time around. I've got all the stuff to make it.

Lemme know how it turns out guy!! I know @tangwena chews his cobs as he doesn't smoke. I definitely feel edibles way stronger when I don't smoke or vape. I can huff through a couple ounces a month.

I think the Fuel D.OG COB I made was too dry to start. It's only been curing a month and the one that was sweated for a day, and fermented for a week, doesn't taste that great(smoking it). I've had surgery on my digestive system recently and probably won't eat any for the next year or so. Smoking doesn't bother me, as long as I don't have a cold. I actually prefer it, to vaping.

I will post up in the Golden Tiger thread after I post today's CG, started harvest.

Colombian Gold
Day 55 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling slower today.

I spent the day around the grow area harvesting the Golden Tiger. I'm around half way done, so all day tomorrow too.

The CG is looking good, the CalMag issue causing the leaf damage, is being addressed, but probably won't look any better before harvest. So far the buds don't show any problem, they are bulking up and smelling nice.

I'm not sure where you would get CO² filled. I always just swap tanks at ARC3. No welding shops I've used will fill a tank, and they won't let you swap the tank for a full one unless it has the proper safety stamps on it. People waste money on Amazon and harbor freight oxy-acetlyne tanks all the time, cause there's no one who'll fill em or swap em. Hopefully with CO² it's different.

Heck, the place that I talked to, that said they fill CO2 tanks but every two weeks or so, instead of on the spot, was ARC3. I can't believe the guy would bs me about filling them. He even seemed helpful, suggesting I get a smaller 5lb bottle to run, when I take the 20lb one in for a refill.

I've accumulated a few propane tanks over the years and try to keep several full at all times. I mostly get them refilled. The place I'd been using, closed for good and I went to another place to fill them. They said my tanks were out of date and wouldn't fill them. They did take them as a swap for two full tanks, but it cost me a lot more. The old place that filled them, probably didn't look at the date on them.

I write everything on my calendar so I don’t forget. Then I forget to read my calendar to remind myself of what I’m supposed to do. Smh CL.

I've got a calendar for my grows to keep track of when I did stuff and when I need to do something. I've got another calendar for everything else, plus a spiral notebook to make my "shopping list".

I got a little yellow spiral notebook for shopping too. Too funny . CL.

They have the ability to certify them no problem . I was able to get mine at two different places both were happy to help ,growers also maybe you'll hook up with one of them cause free was always nice till his dad heard him give it to me for free .

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is slowing down.

The flowers are still swelling and looking good. I'm running the PH around 6.5 for a while.

Beautiful work Gwhunran! They're filling in nicely!

Thank you Stone The buds are doing great, they look to be slowly entering the ripening stage, I don't believe it's the leaf issue that's causing it.

Day 57 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling slowly now. I'll let it keep going, until it stops, it's the last one.

The flowers are filling in and they look like they are just beginning the ripening stage. I don't think the "look" is being caused by the same issue that's causing the leaf damage.

I'm still tuckered out from the Golden Tiger harvest, but it's trimmed and hung.

The grow area is running normally and things are about to settle back into routine. Things have been cleaned up enough that I'm not so distracted by the mess and able to focus. Golden Tiger harvest.

The CO2 bucket is still hanging in there but not putting out much. Last one.

The flowers are still filling in and triching up nicely.
