I'm running them now. I have a few large plants in VEG. This is going to get interesting.
I think they are drop dead gorgeous plants.

@ilikemsticky I'm running some tincture finally.
Doing the alcohol extraction with decarbed trim from my last plants I just trimmed up.
Did the decarb in the oven at 240-250 for like 1.5 hrs
about 80gms of trim and 1/2 bottle of 190 proof everclear almost filled a quart mason jar.
I'm thinking instead of waiting 10 days I could use my MB machine.
Sticky whats the best method. I'm looking to get rid of the alcohol and make gummies.
I've made the gummies before with the green dragon that I decarbed and then extraction with alcohol and double boiler thing.... wanted to try the MB machine instead.
So this in my 2nd round of gummies looking to streamline the process.
Gimme some tips I know you got em.

Healthy af too - they are perfect and I've not been taking care of them .... they in VEG I never take care of VEG plants. Only the worthy survive looks like a nice gaggle of Transkei are gonna be the next flowers.
Soon as I clean... got 3 more plants to go. Been trimming again. Uggggh
I just flipped to flower so I have awhile yet.
if you plan on continuing down that path Bob, a table top distiller would allow you to recover the alcohol for re use...couple hun would get a decent model...cheerz...

sorry bob i havent made any of that yet just butter good luck though
Literally
Bob I guess I’m kinda stoned- but not totally sure what you’re asking re the gummies process. Not that I’ve ever made gummies. As far as I know it only takes a few minutes for the alcohol to extract most of the good stuff- then you can evaporate it. Ten days seems extreme (?) Not sure where the MB machine fits in? I’ve used the MB with oil- it heats, blends, slices and dices, whirrs and flashes. I can’t imagine there’d be much left un-extracted by the time it’s done its slicing and dicing thing. But not so sure it would work that well with alcohol.
As I go through more and more alcohol lately evaporated uselessly into the air I keep thinking of taking Dr Hook’s advice and finding a way to reclaim it. But that’s a whole other can of worms.

least you were close to your finish date finish date. I don't 'wash' my buds,, but sound like one of them times wood be a good time too..... Beautiful plants. still..
Never hurts to do a full blown clean up. You going to have a completely empty flower chamber?
I know I've dicked around before 'trying' to keep 1 or 2 going, going only to start a doomed next rotation.
But then that was shit like mites or PM.
Knock on wood,, I haven't had to deal with aphids on pot plants before. Roses man they love rose bushes But they are probably the only bug I haven't. I even lost a plant or two to scale.
Hey,,, I'll help flip bail from trim jail,, but I'll cost ya a prime bud...

Makin me smile.
The Distiller thing yaeh forgot about that. I usually make the Green Dragon a few times a year.
Got some primo trim and a plant I didn't like that I put in the hash bucket. So time to make me something.
There's a few recipes for making alcohol tincture with the MB machine.
Gotta look into a distiller. My wife studied physics in college and made a few distillers in her day. I made one in 6th grade for a science fair project. Didn't blow nuthin up.

Bob, what up guy! Looking for some organic advice. I don’t know how, but after 5 years of growing I’ve had my first infection of PM. One plant in flower came down with it over night. We still had a decent harvest from plants that had no occurrence at the time. Those came to the garage where PM showed up before the chop. Only slightly on the flower plants, everything was washed with peroxide and baking soda + lemon juice. Cleaned flower tent and got back on track. Yesterday I found PM on some plants in veg. Did a massive defol and sprayed with peroxide.
So, I know PM is around for the time being. I know spores had plenty of time to blow around. What the fack do I do now? My plan is to spray veg at weekly intervals with EM1, which is supposed to eat PM. I did hear Randy Richie(?) from Malibu Compost talk about spraying outdoor crop with their tea to stop infection. Happened to be tomato plants. I can read all day of different shit to clear it up. Milk, fungicides, bacteria, etc. Any advice? This is all in my house and I’m not sure if I can do a sulphur burn....
faking pm...........(add infinite annoying dots of anger)

Hey there @Gaffle good to hear from you.
PM yeah had it ... man if you saw my last harvest in Philly wow, I hadda mess.
Short answer for PM (and mites) is a sulfur Vaporizer. Green house version.
The version I use is:
Pro tip: Get the smallest bag of Sulfur prills you can find.... 4lbs I bought is a 10 lifetime supply.
Also I use Safer Garden Fungicide with is also Sulfur in a liquid concentrate you mix and spray.
The Sulfur Vaporizer works in VEG and 3 weeks into flower should you need it for hemp mites. If you use it a few times in VEG you wont have issues with PM. IF you get some PM show up mid flower thats when I use the Safer fungicide.
Sulfur is an element so organic and your plants will love it. Thing with PM is you gotta get on it before its a problem. If you see the white stuff on the leaves its a problem. You gotta get it before that. The Sulfur Vape with kill it and the spores (and the mites).
Also a side benefit is all rodents absolutely hate sulfur. Bye bye mice fvcks too. yay.
The sulfur vape smells so you gotta turn off equipment. I turn off my air handling filters lights and shut the room up and leave a few clip fans running to move the vapor around.
I usually run the vaporizer about 2-3 hours. That's it turn it off turn everything back on in the am. I burn at night after lights out. Can even burn in the VEG tent and leave it closed with the flowers in the same room.
No residual flavor or smell either.
PM will be washed away with your bud washing with the baking soda/lemon juice as well so any residual PM washes off. Water actually kills it. In the warmer weather I sometimes just hose down the plants outside with our garden hose on mist... that works great but big plants cant do that.

Been doing the double boiler method of Hash Oil distilling. lol
Almost done. I gotta baby sit the pot for several hours be a good thing IF I was still trimming.
Yeah thought about it a bit and figured yup only need a few minutes to extract what I want from the plant material.... the 10 day thing was a recipe. I guess they like the flavors.
I left if sit overnight now concentrating it in a double boiler on a electric hot plate.
