Heavenly Hybrid 2nd Grow: Blackberry Kush, Coco Grow, LED450

Gotta get married first Dutch...baby little steps. (Sorry, no baby references.)
Indeed ! The wedding is getting closer now and definitely no babies lol!!

Lol, we aren’t much for the Valentine’s “holiday” ;) We were both servers for years and always had to work. We made our own tradition of making an Alaskan King Crab dinner at home and no gifts. Crab is gift enough for me! I’m pretty lucky, my hubs doesn’t forget the occasions. He’s a subscriber to @Dutchman1990 school of thought - happy wife, happy life. Haha, and happy fiancé is how you get to happy wife! Keep it up Dutchie! :thumb:
Thanks HH! I’ve learned quickly the happier the lady the easier the day! Haha

Update on the autos today - day 53

I brought nearly all the plants out for watering today. The two mystery seedlings I sprouted early Jan, both moved up and into some 1 gallon fabric pots. I’m thinking I should be able to see if they are autos or photos in the next week or so and I can make my training (if any) plans from there.

While I had the surprise autos out, I got some pictures with the ol loop. The seedbank says around 8 weeks to flower for most of their autos, so it could be closer than I thought?

What say you, my wise masters? The tent is getting pretty packed, it’ll be nice to make some room when I take these autos out. I’ve been trying to get the second tent up and running, but if it’s only going to be another week or so with these two, I could hold off for warmer weather on that second tent. Have a great weekend all and happy gardening!
I see a few ambers and lots of cloudy! If your wanting couch lock hold on for a bit longer or you could get your scissors ready and chop chop whenever you feel free!

You want couch lock, you wait a bit. You don't, you can take them down at your earliest convenience!

That's my view on the phone. I'll check on the computer later and let you know if I feel differently :).
Agree 420%!!
 
Wow, you guys are totally surprising me! I thought it’d be another week or so. But I trust in my wise masters. :adore: I’ll let it go for a couple more days, just for conveniences’ sake, but wow! Fantastic. I’m glad I grabbed the loop for some pics. :) So last time I didn’t let it sit in the dark for 24 hours. I’ll go ahead and do that right this time. This is going to the the easiest harvest in history. :laugh: Or the esiest trimming job anyway. Thanks for your opinions on it guys. :thanks:

A little more adjusting on the tie downs. Just a little longer and it will be flip time. Hopefully the small tent will be able to handle her! :D This is a 3 gallon fabric pot, with a 10” diameter. She looks a little light green in the middle to me. Am I being paranoid? Deficiency?

Happy gardening all!
 
Yes.

It looks great and new growth (which is what the middle is) is usually lighter green. Make sure the leaders are lower than the middle and those middle ones will take off!

[the word "middle" was on sale this afternoon]
Haha, thanks for putting my mind at ease Shed. I’ll pull them down a bit more. I wanted them to keep growing outward at the ends, so I had them up a bit. But I think it’s the perfect time to bring them down and let the middle rise up!
 
Indeed, she looks healthy and just right :)
Good to have some confirmation. Lol, I did this on my last grow too, I kept thinking that was a deficiency starting to show. :oops:

I agree, all looks great! I'm chilling with the lemon OG today and she's just what the doctor ordered for a lazy Sunday afternoon :)
Ooooo, color me jealous! I want to grow something lemony so bad! I wish this whole growing thing didn’t take so long! ;)
 
Cookie Time!!

It’s been a long, long, long time since I made anything edible. And as it turns out, I only ever did it right once - by accident. Back in the taboo days, there was very little information online (at least from what I found), I didn’t know about decarbing and the one time it turned out good, it was with vape poo. I didn’t even know why it turned out good that one time until I joined this forum! Anyhow, my history of naïveté aside, armed with my new Magic Butter machine, I made some treats!

Mr. Hybrid went to the weed shop and bought a half of OG Kush bits that were made for rolling joints (cheaper). I also added a couple more grams do OG Kush buds, just for fun. I bought some turkey bags, and they are way too big for this, but it did the job and I decarbed at 240°F (my oven runs hot) for 30 minutes and there was no smell at all.

I let it cool and then added it to the MB machine. Next I melted 5 sticks of unsalted butter and separated out the butter fat, for an end result of 2 cups clarified butter.

D762C334-78ED-4E01-B684-D801FFF60BFF.jpeg

Clarified butter added to the MB machine. I didn’t have any Lecithin, and it’s listed as optional, so we went without it this time around. 160°F for 2 hours. Set it and forget it! The machine was pretty quiet except for the stir cycle, but no bother. The smell was relatively contained, but standing right next to it, you could catch a whiff.

After it was done (2 hours on the dot) I strained it through a cheese cloth and fine mesh strainer, and poured the butter into its 2 Tbs cube mold and put it in the fridge overnight.

And voilà!
4B302865-804B-4C36-A24D-58330DAF703C.jpeg

After figuring out the potency of the butter at 106.3mg per Tbs (thanks @InTheShed) I decided to only use 8 Tbs (1 stick or 1/2 cup). My personal preference for edibles is to go on the lighter side and establish a nice baseline buzz, then I smoke buds as needed, so I don’t get too high. I also like to have one before bed to help me sleep through the night.
And now, the cookies! Assemble the ingredients.

Chocolate chip edibles. :cool:
The clarified butter did make them cook differently than I’m used to. I’m glad I decided to use one stick of regular unsalted butter, just for the fat component. I ended up with 42 cookies, using 8 Tbs of weed butter at 106.3 mg = 850.4mg for the total batch. 850.4//42 cookies = 20.25mg per cookie. Shit! I must’ve figured out my math wrong last night. I’m really glad I wrote this post out before eating any! :eek: I was hoping for between 5-10mg per cookie. So I’ll be eating half a cookie and report back later. :D Mr. Hybrid already ate one last night. I usually eat a 5mg edible from the weed shop, with a true 5mg THC dosage, so that will be my base for comparison. Will report back later. So happy to be baking again! :)

Nice cookies HH! Turned out great and well done!
 
Okay, I’m here to report back. I ate a half a cookie after I signed off. I felt a good base buzz, like I was looking for, plus a little more. I’d say it was comparable to the candies we’ve been getting from the weed shop. I ate another half a cookie 3 hours later, and as I’ve seen so many times before on here, I proceeded to fall asleep! :laugh: I never take naps, although I had a pretty bad night of sleep last night, so I was primed for it. I’m totally happy with the way they turned out. OG Kush is the shiz. I woke up totally zombified and I’m still shaking it off a bit. I think they’re gonna be perfect for an after dinner cookie before bed. Now I gotta send hubs back to the store so I can make a Sativa blend!!

Great stuff HH! Glad they turned out well!

Fantastic result! I am getting closer to making actual edibles and those effects would be very welcome here, and yes a sativa version - for daytimes :D Nice baking :yummy:
