InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

[multiVortex]

They include "Fluid ounces infused" which seems pretty important to me, compared to the site in candycane's pic. It gives me the same results as Oldbear's spreadsheet, but it works in ounces rather than ml. Good find mV!

The advantage to the spreadsheet is it will do blending calcs, and handles both THC and CBD in the same plant.

I thought it was pretty handy, but would like to find one that takes source material into account. Like flower, bubble hash, trim, etc and do the math on basic extraction rates.

This one kinda does the extraction part, but you gotta know your source strength. Still makes it a bit of a guessing game, but closer than most.

 

[InTheShed]

Not sure how you expect a website to know what the THC content is in your starting product. Do you want a separate data entry field for 36 vs 72 vs 90 screen hash? Even "experts" disagree on the percentage of THC in QWET or rosin.

If you really need to know you need to send it in for testing.

woodsy

If the ‘a’ is the woodsy one then id say definitely that one - because ‘woodsy’ makes me think incensy later on (not a lot of experience behind that tho so don’t quote me )

I say the ‘a’ becasue it’s more obviously expressing female. You don’t want any sexual ambiguity in a plant!

Well, this auto grower has jumped into Clone World because I got an offer, and who am I to turn down free plants!

Details:
- 420 AK-47 fem (x2): 20:1 THC/CBD, 60% Indica/40% Sativa
- 420 Gold Leaf fem: 21:"high" THC/CBD (really 420, what the heck does that mean?), 35% Indica/65% Sativa
- Clones taken from recently flipped healthy parents, AK has pistils, Gold Leaf does not
- These will be kept in veg until next fall, so for now they will be outside during the day and moved under lights at night ~20/4 once they root. Once we're past the vernal equinox they will be grown outside exclusively
- The clones are in Miracle Grow potting mix (no nutes) for now. They will be up-potted into Dr Earth Pot of Gold
- Soil mix will be 70% soil/30% rinsed perlite
- Pots will be scaled up as needed to approx 7 gallon smart pot
- Sunlit during the day, under 64 watt T8 plus CFLs at night
- Air cooled, like literally air cooled.
- Temps determined by mother nature with the help of heat from the lights at night. Shed is unheated.
- Pests are many and various and will be handled organically with neem, spinosad, BT, and diatomaceous earth
- Watered as needed
- Nutes:
Cal/Mag +
Fox Farm Big Bloom
Fox Farm Grow Big 6-4-4
Fox Farm Tiger Bloom 2-8-4
Fox Farm Open Sesame 5-45-19
Great White mycorrhizae

I use pH Down because my tap water runs pretty alkaline (around 7.6 pH) and when left standing it rises to 8.4. I'm shooting for the 6.0-6.4 pH range.

For the record, my tap water is ~100PPM and is purified with chloramine, which doesn't evaporate. Even so, I let my water stand out for at least 24 hour before I use it. No idea why.

Next post...PICS (and the first night of cloning story...)!

Let the show begin!

Yes, let's get this show on the road, and to my grow show J Wills! Lots of good folks here so pull up a chair.

No we don't. I will double check when they're not in the blazing sun (it's 80º F here, 26.7 C). I like the woodsy idea though!

Auto grower, eh?? So very funny how things change!!

 

[InTheShed]

I was under the impression that autos would be easier, which is a mistake lots of people make when starting off. Then I discovered the truth!

Thank you @InTheShed and @multiVortex ! I sure appreciate y’all! I would like to just get a rough guesstimate so I’m not way under or way overdosing. I’ve found 25mg to be a sweet spot for me so just wanted to stay somewhere around that. I’ll be looking at that site for sure so again thank you! The recipe I found to make the butter was 1/2 cup water to 2 sticks of butter (my site instructed 2.3gr ) to make one cup of butter. The brownie recipe called for 1/2 cup of oil and I substituted as instructed with 1/2 cup of butter. I hope that filled in the blanks.

To be clear, you are infusing 2.3 grams of 14% THC weed into 2 cups of butter, yes? Are you using a MB machine, jar in the oven, crock pot?

That's exactly what I do is substitute the oil for my infused butter and they turn out Great

They definitely are not easy, but they can be useful. Like the possibility of getting two (or more, depending where you live) outdoor crops during the growing season.
Or being able to flower with 24 hours of light, which can help increase the DLI for someone with a less intense light source.

And the challenge can be fun.

The major downside is the lack of clones. But one can always reverse a female to make some seeds.

2.3 grams of 14% THC weed to 1 cup of butter. I used the stove top as the recipe showed me to use 1/2 cup water, 2.3gr decarbed weed, 1 cup butter simmer for 90 mins.Then strained thru cheesecloth to separate and get rid of the weed, then I sat it in the fridge overnight to harden and took it out in morning and got rid of any water and there’s the butter. Sorry I had to walk thru the process so I’d try not to leave anything else out.

Not to me. The major downside to autoflowers is their internal ticking clock.

Okay. I still need to know how much butter the recipe calls for. I know it makes 10 portions.

 

[InTheShed]

Oh wait, never mind @candycane. You said ½ cup butter for the recipe above. I went to mV's Volcano site and put in your numbers and got this:

You must be feeling better Shed. The place is moving fast again and I found myself a few pages back. I'm sorry I missed your sex games but I would have went F F to stay optimistic

I hope you're doing well.

Thanks MrS! Doing better here (except for expected disappointing harvest weight of the Fruit Punch), and I found out today that they will let me in to see my dad tomorrow afternoon . I'll need to wear a mask though so I hope he's okay with that, but my main goal is to get him singing. They tell me he hasn't been eating much and has lost a lot of weight, and that's not an uplifting sign at that age, so seeing him again will be great comfort to me at least, and to him still I hope.

For future reference, you can make stronger oil and use less. I made a pan of brownies this evening and used 1/2TBSP of infused coconut oil. Recipe called for 1/4C of oil, so I used normal oil to make up the difference. Worked out just fine, and the brownies are on point. They also do the trick. My batch made 12 brownies, and they’re about 20mg each.

So you are making your oil 32.4mg/ml THC? For candycane's 14% THC weed she would need 65 grams (2.3 oz).

Very nice, congratulations

Thanks ECM! Always glad to have you here.
