That's great news. There are many different ways of using the bags. The original way I learned was to put the bags inside of each other. You did freeze your trimmings right, and did you mix for at least 15 min? When the weed is frozen its easy to crunch it up as you put it in.

I recently learned of a way using two buckets. Use the 220 bag first only and mix it for 15 min. The pull the bag out draining the bag, add some more cold water to flush more trichomes out. Then put your next bag in a empty bucket and pour the first bucket through it and capture some in the 160 bag. Keep doing this through all your bags. At the end keep the water and let it settle, this part got from someone who posted in Pinkys journal. After the trichomes have settled in bottom get a small hose and siphon out the water down to the level of settled trichomes. Then put this into a smaller water bottle with as smooth a bottom as possible. Let it settle again and siphon some more with some clear air tubing. Set it on a warm surface and let evaporate, whats left is the really tiny trichome bits and is very good. That a fantastic amount for one plant, taste pretty sweet already, can't wait to try mine.

You do have to scrape it out of the bottle but you would be surprised how much is there. I sure if you did a search you find that post, he had great pictures.

oh okay ill try that next time.was even thinking of a coffee filter to extract the last ones. like they do for BHO. I bet i lost allot. I'll freeze the buds first so i can break them up easy. and try another 8 grams and see. thank you tryshard.

Hit up CA215. He is a hash-master and cool as shit. He has helped me alot and going to assist me in my hash making. He has detailed hash making in his last journal he completed.

Always shake your nutrients before use.

Sumbitch, I wondered about that. I gotta shake my shit up when I get home. It's the same stuff I used last grow and I never shook it then either. LMAO, watch, after I shake it up, the ppm of my mix will be 1800

i am draining my res of my last BB and gonna add boiling water to it in 45 minutes. 1.5 gallons is needed in my 5 gallon bucket. I love this method my other BB turned out perfect after the dry and the cure is getting better every day. then only hte c99 will be left after 3 days more of 12/12.
this blueberry is 70% cloudy and i seen a few amber here and there.
 
Re: HPS - LED - CFL - AIS (Air Injection Soil) BB - WW - C99

Okay here is how i did the boiling water method to the roots.
1. empty bottom res
2. disconnect air line
3. Boil 1.5-2 gallon of water
4. add 1 cup at a time till the whole bucket/pot is full. if you have holes in the bottom put teh plant in a bigger no hole pot.bucket while its still in original pot.
5. leave lights on 12/12 for 3 days
6. chop as normal and hang till they finish drying. now you will see it will be 50-60% dry already when you chop it. The plant has already started to cure also while drying.
7. once dry enough do your thing. trim and jar to finish cure. taste a small bud at this point and be amazed how good it is already.

see the airline its empty->

See the airline water gauge its full almost 2 gallon and i added some extra to it. my humidity in the room went from 23% to 30% almost instantly. and the humidity will increase now as the BB will be drying and the moisture will end up in the air. So Tuesday morning i chop. Now only the C99 to tend too. Yeah this grow is almost done and i can take a summer break.

So do you eventually drain out the water each day after it cools? Do you just do the boiling water once or every day for 3 days? Just want to make sure I know every step so I don't mess it up

i leave the water. no need to drain it. i drain it after i chop. then i dump the root and soil into outdoor compost pile.
I can say this if you try it you will love the results. i was skeptical then after seeing 2 others do it on a private forum i was sold. i will never do another way again to start them drying/curing.

edit if your RH is too high then after it cools you can drain it. the work of the boiling water is done and the roots are now dead.

DC if the roots are dead, why do you continue to feed the plant? At the point of boiling my guess is the plant roots are dead. So no more nutrients from them. The rest of the plant feels like it just got a Stomach Staple and uses all its reserves quickly, the three days is for that time period. The plant is essentially dead, just doesn't know it yet. So the reason its drying quickly after harvest, is that it hasn't taken any water up since you killed the roots and has started drying from the point of water being applied. Just a hypothetical question, if you would had chopped the plant instead of the water boil, would it had been just as dry? Second question, do you think the boiling method actually less stressful to the plant the getting chopped so the plant stays alive longer and uses up the residual nutrients in the leaves and there fore tastes like its been cured a little already, which is what the cure is for, to get the harshness out.

Make sense?
 
Sorry for all the questions. So you use the boiling water one time 3 days before you harvest, or every watering for a few days? Didn't know if it's more than once. And since I run hempy, should I plug the hole when I do?

yes no more nutes or anything just leave it alone for 3 days. it cannot use anything from the roots. yes curing starts right away i can only say wow from the 3 taste tests ive had so far.

1 time with boiling water 3 days before chop. now make sure this is where you want it at. it will start loosing weight while in the flower room for 3 days. usually around 50-60% water loss. well from the plant i did i got right in that range.

Awesome. Can't wait to try. I'll definitely let you know how well it turns out for me. And thanks for putting up with all my ?'s

its all good bro. I would rather you ask then mess it up. I believe we are here to help each other. I learn diff stuff all the time. I share what i know works. you will love the boiling water method. It will become part of your norm harvest schedule. Its part of mine now. if you can do a video do it.

Re: HPS - LED - CFL - AIS (Air Injection Soil) BB - WW - C99

Hey DC420,

Thought I'd follow up my questions here instead of taking up Try's journal. So no freezing unless I'm gonna make hash which should be done sooner then later because of the Trichomes break down...got it. I'll never have a harvest big enough to do hash but maybe after a big enough harvest I can dedicate the next grow to hash only....well with a little pull from them to smoke...lol.

You've given nothing but solid advice thus far so I'm listening to you on this one. I followed up with the question of how long can you store weed in dry storage. Canning jars like mason jars? But really any jar that's air tight right? And store them in a cool dark place. How about a cigar humidor? Any input on the CVault canisters?

Lol...you know DC420 you started this mess. Ok, so what about us guys that have a drip system. Do we also turn off the drip system when we turn the air off? Although I may keep it running for awhile to help clean out the lines. Whatcha think? Makes sense to me to do so but want to here your input.

the cvalt has a humidity pack at 62% i believe. that is good for long term. i have smoked buds that was in jars for a year and wow its the best it can be. i would invest in a canning vacuum sealer. it has a hose and a special lid that sucks the air out of jars. if its at 58% when you seal it it will be 58% in a year. as long as its in a cabinet out of direct light and heat. I have heard of using a small fridge to store them in and keeping temp of fridge around 40F. I would try the mini fridge i am sure i will be getting one. save all your trimings till you got like 4 oz then you can make some hash. after the 190 micron you can use a coffee filter to get all the trics. i forgot that when i just made mine i know i lost allot. i am saving mine to smoke with my friend in michigan. well 1 gram anyway. remember we as a team have all the answers but alone we are not as good. so always help when you can and call BS when that is the case also. I need to smoke another bowl. love and peace all.
