Happy Monday everyone! Here's an update for y'all so this journal doesn't fall onto page 4 of my own sub list.
Couple of things from this weekend, and the first is that I cut the Amnesia Lemon Kush off the lines on Sunday. It smells terrific but I can't tell you of what (no one in my house can identify weed smells):
They're getting burped twice a day for a week, along with the Le Creme CBG, which is getting burped only at night.
Speaking of the LeC, it was 62% in the bag this weekend so I weighed it (pardon the color...the new breakfast bar lights and the camera don't agree on the actual color temperature):
That's a mere 87 grams / 3.07 ounces which comes in at .67g/day above ground, also known as "very low"! Fluffy and airy flowers will do that, and it's barely better than the autoflower version (.54g/day). If I'm going to use this as meds I will need to flower out a few in a row to get a stockpile for oil.
@Azimuth how did your harvest do compared to your usual plants?
In other news, I did two dry ice hash runs this weekend. Rather than give you a tutorial, I'll post the video I followed:
The only thing I did different was I just went with the 120 screen bag since I didn't care about the different quality grades.
I started with thirteen jars of AK-47 from 2019 and ground it up using my mini Ninja:
And that filled seven jars:
I did two batches:
...and ended up with this:
I also mixed up the last of the 2020 Chocolope and most of the 2022 Doug's Varin:
It spreads pretty far so I spent some time cleaning off the frame of the mirror with a paintbrush:
And here's that blend:
Even the vacuum gets some hash from what spread onto the rug:
Both of the containers of finished hash look like a lot, but there is a lot of plant matter in there and I'll tell you why: normally you shake until you just start to see the color of the hash go from light to green, which means it's no longer just trichomes. If you stop then you leave the plant behind in the bag. But my flowers were old and the color never changed, so I didn't know when to stop!
Anyway, no one in my family has any appreciation for hash vs flower and smoke like chimneys, so at least this makes the jars go away and it's a lot easier to store! I'll be making hash pucks soon (pics when that happens) and those will go in the freezer.
That wraps this post, so thanks for sticking around while I try to catch up on everything I missed.

Good work
@InTheShed
Didn't notice if you'd reviewed the vaporizers yet? Apologies if you haven't I'll wait - sounds like your mega busy so in good time
Keep up the good work
Thanks Crumpet and
to my perpetual journal! The new smoking devices only got a single round of testing, so as soon as I can get the family back together in one room for a second round I'll post everyone's thoughts. Later this week I hope.
Nice harvest. Question: I used your dry box idea (I adopted it a while back, thanks, lol) and I made mine with just the top hanging bar. I see you have lines going horizontally in what appears to be three levels. Is this to keep the buds from settling against one another? Thanks! Congrats on the harvest.
Thanks Jon! Yes, the strings are set up in rows so I can hang the entire plant on different rows back to front, usually by stem length. With one bar across the top I could never hang (what ends up as) 10 ounces dry in there.
to see cob making 
temple balls sounds interesting
