Wow....a Jose Feliciano reference......not something I hear everyday. I got introduced to him on a deployment back in 1991' if I remember correctly. Happy New Year GDB! Hope you and the family are doing well brother!I've already wished you a happy new year, @InTheShed. But I don't believe I've congratulated you on your JOTM win.
Who could have seen that coming? Well, Stevie Wonder & Jose Feliciano, just to name a few!
So not back in 1967 then? That's when I saw him on Ed Sullivan!
.
Thanks Bode, me too! It's a bit disconcerting to hear folks coughing in the house these days.
This isn't as easy as I want it to be.
That explains why I have to clean the last 10% or so out of the cart in the end. The smoke value seems to diminish. That's with liqiudizer. So are you thinking to leave a little alcohol to keep it viscus, and processes(winterize) it per MadDabs advice?Monday update of the GA3 sprayed Candida reversal attempt, and some news on the upcoming vape carts/QWET experiment!
Let's start with the pics. Here are the three Candidas on flip day 25, 30 days after the first GA3 spray:
And here is what many of the stems look like for some reason:
Little green bumps under the skin. Aliens?
Here are some macro pics of the spots where we would normally look for signs of gender.

As the Magic 8 Ball says, "reply hazy, try again." Thoughts?
Let's talk about the whole QWET-to-cart experiment I'm working on (parallel to @StoneOtter). While I wait for some vape products to use on the back end and chat with otter about what he's found, I thought I would reach out to MadDab in Alaska. He works for a cannabis concentrate business there and knows the process end to end.
I asked him why Otter is finding that once the alcohol evaporates from the cart it makes it impossible to draw through the vape. It turns out that the QWET process as we do it ends up with sugars and plant waxes in the end product, even if we start with everything in the freezer. In order to end up with just live resin, the temperature for the process needs to be at -40ºF, which is something I can't do. And like me, he doesn't trust what's in the various liquidizers out there in terms of lung safety.
His suggestion was to start with BHO (butane hash oil), and dissolve that in QWET, winterize that for at least 24 hours, filter twice, and then cook off the alcohol. Do I want to start down the BHO road? Who knows? I don't!
Seriously, I don't want to go down that road. I wonder if rosin from a press would create the same issues in a cart...
Anyway, that explains the reason it's hard to do from QWET at home.
The 1 gallons are great for small plants and mothers. I don't think I have a need for smaller since I start in solo cups and go to 1g from there. I hope 2021 is off to a great start for you and your fam and your knee!
Thanks Crazy, very sweet of you! Happy new year to you and your wonderful family, and update your thread with all the cool things you've been laser-cutting
That's when I put the joints down and pick up the vape. We're no different here. I'm down to one jay a week maybe, the rest is vape and I'm not happy to say edibles aren't a big seller for the daily grind. Having a clean cart filled is definitely a luxury Shed. Nothing yet here. Maybe MadDab's got it. Oh, how cold is all that dry ice keeping the oodles of vaccine chilled? That stuff's got to be everywhere soon.
Looking at that 90ppm plant, and coming to the conclusion she is likely contrary, (did you name her Mary?) I would flip the pollen catcher early next week. That will give the donor about 3 weeks to mature and start producing. At 3 weeks post flip, she should have a goodly number of pistils ready

Congrats on getting to some of those long awaited movies! Idiocracy is the only other one I would suggest.
I know right?
I don't think I want to leave alcohol in there, so what I'm going to try is:
I think that dry ice is almost impossible to find these days, as it's all in the vaccine freezers!
Celt, will do!I can't look at the bottles as they don't sell them in CA! That's why I'm going with 120 proof and double distilling before I even start.
According to MadDab (who works in a commercial extraction lab), it's the waxes and sugars that causes the solidification in the carts (they don't vape and end up being a larger and larger percentage of what's in there), and without access to vacuums or hydrocarbon extraction, extreme winterization at around -65º would be the way to go. I haven't got that option either, so I'll try what I outlined above and see if I'm getting close.
Lots going on seems to be my thing! I'd love to simplify some day
. And those stringy plants are a result of the GA3 spray. If I ever get a lettuce pheno I'm thinking of hitting it with a few days of GA3 to see what happens!I can always send you a clone, but I have no doubt you will sort yours out and have more clones of your own.
Thanks Amy! It's no wonder Candida seeds are a rare commodity now. Even MMG can't figure it out anymore.
