Question regarding higher concentrations in oil. Can't you just add alcohol like everclear or extractol to the mix and let it evaporate/cook down during the infusion process? There is no open flame with things like the MB machine so the risk of blowing things up isn't unmanageable.

I'm not sure whether the alcohol would dissolve the trichomes when mixed in with the oil the way it does with QWET though.

If you have access to high-proof alcohol, QWET would be the way to start if you need to get really concentrated resin. You could then dissolve that in oil to basically any dilution you want. We can't buy Everclear in CA and where you can, it becomes an expensive proposition if you do it often (without a distiller - also expensive - to recapture the evaporating alcohol).

When cannabinoid testing becomes cheaper and more easily accessed I'm sure someone here will try it and see if it works!

 

[Graytail]

Sheesh Shed! Yer having a spectacular contest year, wot?

Got a worthy nug for December? That'd give you one of each, including 2 MOTMs?

Kickin azz!

 

[newty]

I was going to send in my Candida until I realized how much they want for testing! A whole oz of weed! Whaaaa I need a lab or a bro with a lab

Thanks Graytail! I've never found my nugs much to look at. They all look the same to me. Maybe I'll get my son to pick one.

Oof! When I get mine to harvest I'll have to start looking around for some place with less of a commitment

Saturday update y'all! I don't normally do huge photo dumps but since it's harvest AND planting day, it seems kinda necessary.

Babies first...

I planted the two Candidas in Solo cups. One of them had a tap root:

Candida "with tap" day 3

The other did not, but had roots coming out the side of the peat:

Candida "no tap" day 3

So I labeled them as "no tap" and "with tap." They will be known as CDNT and CDWT going forward! Yes, I remembered to add the Mykos .

That wasn't too many pics, was it? But wait...since I harvested/chopped/cut down Blue Treacle auto 1 (previously known as Blue Treacle Freacle) on day 84, I thought I'd let it put on a show. I'll post these without comment except to say I didn't want amber on this, so I was willing to accept some clear to go along with the mostly cloudy. Begin scrolling...NOW!

I grew to like the purpling of the leaves once I figured out it wasn't related to nutrients! What's up with the hole in the middle of the stem? Amy's HiBrix Blue Dream had that too.

Total before the wash was 237 grams. They're hanging in the shed with a fan on them doing the drip dry thing. It looks to be easy to trim so I'll do that this afternoon and hang it in a box to dry.

One last thing...since this was the plant I up-canned as it began to flower, I'll be doing a separate post on the rootball once the soil is completely dried out. Science!

Thanks for indulging me with all the pics! And thanks for all your kind wishes today. You all are the reason I keep coming back here.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Nice, nice! That is going to be some A+ medicine!

She was a really beauty!

 

[Amy Gardner]

Excellent stuff Shed. Those Candida are powering already!

Amy's HiBrix Blue Dream had that too.

That’s because Amy’s High Brix Blue Dream had some problems being hooked up to the soil properly. Either due to the gnats, or something off with my base soil mix (I can’t get the products it’s designed for so had to source peat moss and buffer it myself - also maybe dodgy worm castings). And the hole in my stem was a lot smaller than that one

In any case, a hollow stem indicates poor calcium uptake. So either not enough, or at wrong ratio or some such.

Oh dear! I think mine had a hole like that when I cut it too! I had no idea that meant something was wrong! Yikes.

...some nice meaty buds!......congrats as well for MOTM......cheerz...h00k......

...poor calcium uptake (not ‘like’, damn auto correct)

I corrected the original post

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Nice lookin buds Shed!! Can I ask why you didn’t want any amber? Just being curious. Big day in the Shed! Congrats on the harvest!!

 

[dr.h00k]

..just read this...

...Many have claimed they think certain mineral deficiencies are the cause of hollow stems. This is kinda true but not completely. Not all plants want the same mineral ratios and the faster growing varieties tend to want more food. How you feed your plant and the minerals available will contribute to stem thickness. Your plant can have plenty of food but not enough air movement and the stems will be more hollow. Thick stems require proper food and air movement to build cellulose. Calcium is certainly one element that plays a part in stem growth. Boron is another element blamed for hollow stems because of it’s link to calcium. Boron is super important and plays a huge role. Boron is a trace element that helps make the macro elements carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium available to your plants.

...cheerz...h00k......

 

[SamSmith]

I have always had hollow stems to some degree. Could be calcium because of the coco. In will have to watch for them when I chop this time.

In love The purple bud. Thats a good take from that plant.

 

[newty]

Thanks for all that knowledge about hollow stems! I always thought the bigger the hole the better the nutrient highway LOL Now I know This makes complete sense and I see less and less holed stems in my grows at harvest, as I learn to dial in the nutrients! I’ll be paying attention now

Great update Shed! Congrats on that Blue freakle harvest

I’m very excited for the root science

DON’T LET ME MISS IT!

Hmm...I thought it had a calcium deficiency early on. My second one doesn't so I wonder what that stem will look like...

Thanks good Doctor! I'll see what's up with the boron in my nutes and make sure my little ones get more air movement in the shed. It's damn windy outside now so I propped them against each other for support.

Those are some solid buds!

Nice lookin buds Shed!! Can I ask why you didn’t want any amber? Just being curious. Big day in the Shed! Congrats on the harvest!!

Amber is THC degrading to CBN. CBN is the cannabinoid that is responsible for couch lock. If you want sleepy, you want more amber. I'm trying to preserve the sativa side of this hybrid so I want as little CBN (amber) as I can get but still have it ripe.

...some nice meaty buds!......congrats as well for MOTM......cheerz...h00k......

Thanks h00k! They're sticky too .
