Isn't dry sift basically pure trichomes? So you get a little more than half your yield back. The leftover is still pure THC though I would think, flattened.

I’m glad you mentioned that Shed. Let’s discuss (what I think I know) that for a minute. Full melt dry sift is almost 100% trichomes. Sadly my dry sift is probably somewhere between 40-50 percent contaminant still. it could be the trichome stalks, the pistils, broken down plant matter, dirt, etc. how about that lol, a pound of trim gets cut down to less than 10 percent of its original weight via dry sift and is still 50% contaminant! If I wanted to sift it further and further I could to get close to 100% trichome head. But that’s to much work for me. I say I love about 10% to the bag also
Oh thanks LED! Still, hang on to that puck...QWET will still find whatever goodness is left behind.
My little hygrometer has a probe that I use to measure canopy temp and RH. The controller has one as well and it has a built in photocell. They sit right next to each other and are within a degree or two and a percent or two as well. The analog knob is quite hard for me to see and get lined up correctly.

Damn that looks nice, when my 90 bags come in I have some I want to try. My sift is a mix of plants though, but I did remember getting somewhere like 5g a plant.
I need to get some photos up, I pressed an eighth of the orange kush today, pressed twice, I need to remove and repress the bag because there appears to be a pretty decent amount of goodness on the bag.

Good to know about the knob...I am about to need up close glasses bad, or just walk around with a big magnifying glass like I do when my daughters math is written small.
I am going to start reading some of your journal tonight.

Photo day.
Fed most of the veg crew 300ppm/1.5l/6.5, 1.5ml botainicare bloom, mammoth p, seaplex.
BBa and RD - 1L/300ppm/6.5, 2ml hpk, mammoth p, seaplex.
GC - ph'ed water with mammoth p.
This rosin press kicks ass. I need to take some press photos, have not pressed anything new really, still working on the three 1/8ths I pressed on Sat/Sun.
The 707 and White Widow Clone, going to clone the 707 at some point, not the WW.
BBa staying outside the tent at day 48, so maybe 15 days with pistols
The two RD Clones and the two Purple TW, the RD has the pink umbrellas. Might clone the purple tw (one plant), not going to clone anymore RD for now unless this shit is epic fire (and it could be), but I am going to have a lot.
The MMG Nagaui, this one will get cloned. It's a grow for a friend. I will get a bud or two, and a clone, going to try for two nice clones so a plant for me and a plant for them.
Over in the flower tent the GC is daily, there is a little amber, but it's not changing over....I am patient. Pretty colors, it's been on very thin nutes for about 15-21 days, hence the leaves....but it will be smooth when it's done.
The RD doing it's thing, starting to lean as buds are getting heavier....
So, I want to grab a clone of the Naguai and the 707. When the GC leaves the tent I plan on putting the Naguai in next and then when the RD is out...maybe the WWc, both RD. no idea w the 707 yet.

Nice update Nobody. Everyone looks happy!
I grow in a three car garage, no insulation, in SoCal. I’m inland and therefore get hot summers and relatively cold winters. Snows here once every twenty years lol.
I got frustrated trying to just “wing it” with regards to my environment. Took matters into my own hands. I realize not everyone would agree with how I’ve spent money on this hobby. There is a significant investment I have sitting in my garage. At some point I just said screw it and went all in. I’ve tried lots of stuff and as soon as I had my 4x4 figured out, I went and bought a new tent. This caused me to have to light that tent and now humidity is low again lol. Around and around we go.
Current journal I’ve had a revelation or two with regards to environmental management. I upped my game by getting a bigger tent to house a dual hose ac, dehumidifier, humidifier, and heater. I’ve also got the environmental controller I displayed earlier.

What's up with the leaves on the WWc?

It kinda looks like fungus gnat damage. That’s pretty much what it looked like when I had it before

I wish I had that much room. My climate has some similarities to SoCal. Freezing tonight though. How are you exhausting that AC? I have thought about AC, but at that point the tent would become a veg tent and the room would be flower room, I would exhaust tent into room and run AC vents (plural) to closet. Major PITA.
It's mother had the same jacked up leaf growth. Look wayyyy back in the journal and there are closeups of mom like that (me asking what it is), I also had a discussion W pennywise re it's mom, I wanted to cull it, cause the growth was all larflike. Each of those yellow leaves is curled 90 degrees (the vein), one side is yellow w rust spots, the other side looks more normal, it's one leaf on one side every node or other node.
I use traps and the soil all has mosquito bits in it when planted. The RH is not really fungus gnat friendly right now....mold will not be an issue though...ha. Need to watch dry time on the green crack.
I was running low on the orange kush reg stuff I was vaping and got my shipment of bags in from nugmaster vs the generic ones I have been using. The generics go one or two presses, and are sized a little wide for my plates.
I loaded up 2g by removing the stems after weighing (large nug) in a 160 bag.
all presses were at 210. (everyone seems to be using this with this press, prob because it's only about 500 in/# to compensate for that part being lower than a serious commercial press. I tried some presses at 190, and felt they left a lot behind.
1st press was 90s, subs were 60s
I got 4 before the bag burped up (1st is at L to R), combined all the goodies and weighed it with my A&D FX-120i scale that I bought at target (not really).
Netted .332 and tared that paper before, with 1.95, assuming .05 of stem, thats about 16-17% or so, fine for reg stuff IMO.

Looks good! I would be looking around the house for things to press, if I had your new toy. Lol

Yea no prob. I just had something similar looking in a previous grow that ended up being that, so I thought I’d mention it. Looks pretty sweet man, How’s the rosin taste? When you pressed at 190 how long did you press it for?

I pressed both pucks (like .8g) for anywhere from 1-2:30, only pressed one bag at 2:30, but 15 seconds was slowly pressing.
I think the first couple bags I pressed I pressed them to fast.
I bought a smaller banger today, a 16mm slant top. I am not doing 4g dabs, so wanted something that was more concentrating in flavor. It's a standard size Quave Club Banger. US made.

Today I gave the flower tent ph'ed water. The RD is putting on a lot of weight and starting to lean. I need to get in there and do something or I risk damage. I think the RD is also showing a little N def. Since it's around day 40 I will give a little more water sol, but each time I do (even in low ppm) over the past 2 weeks I see clawing. Bitchy plant. F'er can't make up her mind.
The GC is turning, I just hope one morning it is really showing amber....would love to wake up and just get it out of the tent and cut/hung, so I can adjust the RD.
I mixed up 500ppm/6.6/1.5L and gave it to the veg plants-it was .5ml ca/mg and equal doses of budda bloom and grow. The BBa is showing yellow leaves and kinda chloric. I need to hit them again with nutes tomorrow. Been kinda drying them out the past two days.
Just had a nice vape of the orange kush press, it's quite freaking wonderful. I think I need to acquire more. I tried some venom og again in the press, it was watery, I placed it in a 45 degree fridge for about 10 minutes and it tightened up, regardless, I don't care for it's flavor as vape from either press or flower in the pax, it's great as smoke though.
Maybe I prefer the sweeter fruitier stuff to vape and the dank skunk stuff to roll/pipe?

@nobodyhere Why is your refrigerator at 45F? It should be at 38-39F.

Thanks, it's the beer fridge in the bar.
I have a food fridge at 38, and two at -10, and one at 55.
Am I concerned about bacteria growth in my rosin?
Isn't it being heated to temps that would kill bacteria as part of the smoking aspect? Also, who has rosin sitting around long enough for it to grow bacteria

I am putting up a late scrog on the RD to keep it from leaning so damn much. I am realizing how much bud is here...also got covered with sap....
