Cheers dank. Yeah I'm trying to get as much cloudy as possible. I don't need it as a medicine...yet! I'll keep that in mind for the days when I do. I reakon there is plenty of amber on mine.
Not a brilliant photo but you can see the amber.
Gonna take off some today.
Amazing picture - reminds of the old days when the leaves were smoked. Your picture shows why

Cheers oldbear. That's a leaf from a bud. Sugar leaves I think they are called, I presume on account of the massive amount of trichomes as can be seen.Amazing picture - reminds of the old days when the leaves were smoked. Your picture shows why

Oh ya.. Sugar leaves they are! Lol
That isnt my picture though..that is a follower name jesse425s . looks good huh!!
And old bear I smoke my sugar leaves in tightly rolled joints with hash. Or I make hash out of them. I personally feel like hash is the best possible turnout for sugar leaves. The best high out of them. But this run I'm very seriously considering making rosin out of them.
-Rosin -is when you take a micro cloth or waxed paper folded in half and put the leaves (or bud, hash,kief) in the middle and press it with extreme heat and pressure and then the resin will literally RUN from the bud onto your waxed paper. Freeze then dab!! Or just dab lol.. I wanna make a good rosinpress but I have heard of some ppl just using their wifes hair straightener or the clothes iron. And pushing their whole body weight down on it.
So basically quality is up to you and your bud. The stuff that comes out in the first ten seconds is the best. If you do 2 presses, you just switch the wax paper after the first 10 secs. And go again.
I also hear of ppl taking shotty bud and making awesome rosin. Or b.h.o with it so my crop WILL be a win lol. Playing both sides like that. I will make it awesome no matter what. Lol
Hoping to do a run tomorrow .

Of rosin or bho? And how big are your runs? What method? Do you have a purge ? And finally just trim buds or both? Lol I love my dabs.
Side note-- Im so glad I didnt Just put a number after maddabber to make it work.. I remember thinking ..."man, screw it what are the odds I bump into the original" but changed my mind and I did bump into the original and we ended up friends.. So funny to me.

I'm gonna close this one out when I'm done.. It has the wrong name on it..lol but then I'm gonna start danks perpetual grow journal. But this is my first one so I'm learning... About quality of a journal and trying to make my updates in a better format. (Thank you all of 420) and picture quality. It has been a great first run so far and due to my resources being limited im seriously pursuing getting sponsored. And to do that I need all you guys to whip me into shape.lol so I have something to offer a sponsor. (Completed journals, grows , follower base, and some proof of knowledge)I've definitely stick through to the end, and if you do a journal after that too . my mama didn't raise a quitter
I really like scrogzilla and wizard of scrog. But mad dabber is perfect! Can go wrong with dank purple though right??
I have a pretty unique extraction method honestly. I borrowed a method from a guy who makes vacless shatter, and incorporated it into the normal routine. It allows me to get more stability from my stuff than I have seen anywhere else.
I run an open extractor from subzero with a Dewaxing sleve. One of the last open ones ever made by their co.
I have a few vac chambers and I just run them on a pancake griddle I keep at approx 100 °F. Sorry but vac ovens are the biggest waste of money imho. Granted if I had money to blow I would own a few .
My neighbor arctic bowl hooked it up with a big ol foil container of trim. So I'll be running that. I've run every thing from top shelf nugs(center) to garbage bags of 3 year fan leaf (seen on the far right)

Awesome brudda!! I have only helped a buddy with his runs so I'm familiar but by no means knowledgable. just classic butane through a tube and micron cloth then purged it. We also made ice hash once. but I will for sure be hitting you up when its time to make some oil. If thata cool with you. And that is awesome you and your neighbor can grow together. And ita cool that.. Said neighbor is artic bowl!!

I disire to make my own dabs because im so sick of the trash that gets put out
You are more than welcome to hit me up. I hope to start a thread when I have more product to work with.
Dabs are 100 a g here. I used to pay 40
and far less when I was producing.... a half gram of Rosin is 135$. Like are you fugging kidding me!?! I can't comment on their quality but don't care to find out for that price. It's hard to be impartial but some of my best runs rivaled any dispensary stuff I have smoked. And most times makes the shop "shatter" look like a greasy buttered mess. I totally agree. Same with growing you know exactly what is put in your product . Nothing better
Hey D-purps. How did you change your username? I am trying to capitalize the first letters so I end any confusion my username is therma dabber :/ I don't consider myself to look much like a therma . I even made my custom avatar to end any confusion but we're dealing with some highly medicated individuals hahahah
Maybe PM Teddy or Richard
