I have some of those peyote critical as well! Can’t wait to see them in action!
InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time
Hope you get a nice Peyote leaner with the PC, that will be some nice stash.
Same here! That was one of the only strains I didn't run in my current group. I think I may just scrog my whole shed with PC to start off 2019. LoL
I've got a dozen beans.....
Lady Grow 2 heal me grew that out ..
Seedsman used her pic on their Instagram account. Was a great shot

Thought I'd get the jump on the Monday updates by posting this weekend on Sunday night when most of y'all are asleep.
It was canna-weekend so lots to get through...
Starting with everyone's favorite: Peyote Critical. After soaking for 24 hours and it cracking in the bowl, I put it into moist paper towel NEXT TO the DVR in the closed armoire. I put a thermometer where the seed was and it was 79º. I put the thermometer on top of the DVR and it was 91º! No wonder the other seeds got fried
. When it looked like this I placed it into the peat puck in the Shoebox of Light®Moving on to the cuttings, here they are a week after I took them, looking exactly the same. They will look this way until they die:
Next up is the jumping spider on the lime tree, who likes to eat caterpillars:
Speaking of caterpillars, look who was hanging out on the AK-47:
Speaking of the AK-47, I harvested it and the Sour G on Saturday morning!!!!
AK-47 chop. Wet weight 660 grams:
Sour G chop. Wet weight of what was left was 446 grams:
I washed the AK but not the Sour G since it was going into oil. Here is why we wash:
Can't see even an inch below the surface.
I took the Sour G harvest and the stuff I'd been saving in the freezer and put it in the oven at 220º until it was mostly dry.
Then I decarbed it at 240º for 2 hours. After de-stemming, it was 170 grams. Time to make oil! I used the MB2 machine and crunched up half the buds in 12 ounces pumpkin seed oil and 12 ounces grapeseed oil. I let the machine run for a few hours and then added the rest of the buds now that there was room in the machine, as it ground down the first half. I set it for 8 hours at 160º and went to bed.
It's not easy to extract the oil when you use that much bud but after much squeezing, I got 16 ounces back:
The real question is...How strong is it? If this was 170 grams of full strength bud it would be easier to calculate, but about a third of this came off early. At 7% THC this mix comes in at almost 15mg/ml which would be spot on and 7% seemed like a reasonable estimate.
On to the AK-47, which was really leafy and dense, so I wanted to let it drip-dry for a day after the wash. The problem is, it was nearly impossible to trim tonight. Here is what I took down off the lines:
Really hard to sort out what's leaf and what's bud and what's caterpillar! I found two this size and a few smaller ones as well:
I trimmed as best as I could, took off the brown buds, and pulled the rest away from the stems, and hung them back in the shed to dry. RH in there is about 70º so again, I'm not worried about over-drying them. I just want them not to mold so the fan is blowing at floor level. I may turn on the other fan if they still seem damp tomorrow night.
I think a lot of the brown leaves and mold on the AK was the result of caterpillars, so I will be much more careful about that going forward. They weren't on the Sour G so it seems they like denser plants, adding insult to injury.
Well...that was my weekend! I'm off to find out what you all did. I hope it was a great one

Congrats on a good harvest, that AK looks fire actually!

Hope so! I took it down a little earlier than the last one, looking for more sativa. I actually had your Brooklyn harvest instructions in my head when I made the decision to chop. 
I've come to the conclusion that the only thing amber is good for is couchlock. I'm preferring all cloudy and chop at first signs of amber.

Amber just seems to be what happens while you wait for more cloudy!
Yes and with amber it's losing thc.

That's the balancing act. Gaining on one side as the clears go cloudy and losing on the other as the cloudys go amber. Probably why we keep posting trichome shots and asking "Now?"
Yep, but after a few grows we learn what we like hopefully.

Thanks Felipe! I don't know if it was slow-moving fusarium or hitting it twice with the H2O2 slowed it down, but it was nice to get most of it to a regular harvest. Something has to go to make the topical oil so it might as well be something that has to
.
I can’t see why h2o2 would slow her down ... hmmm

Sorry Joe, I meant the H2O2 slowed down the spread of the fusarium mold.
Oh that’s a great thing then lol
Congrats on the harvest!Well I had no idea it was going to be such a popular choice! I hope I can do it justice
