Doubt the letter would even get to them

Dude I just got my 4:20 prizes. There is hope

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

Nice, sadly I had to decline mine. Don't have a separate address to send stuff like that too plus the light I won would've cost me a couple of grand to get here. About the only time I can recall being a bit sad when winning something..lol

A few months back I harvested a couple of strains and as I hung them up to dry we had a couple of days of very dry, hot winds. This cured the buds much faster and after 6 days the sugar leaves were dry and crumbling already. I trimmed and bottled it and took a few buds to make rosin with. The rosin came out awesome. Lovely gold colour and very buttery on almost any temps.
This has me wondering if curing for rosin extraction could be different than just straight flower

Testing time:


The strain is Hanibiko Hill (space monkey x blues bred by SunValley). All bud was air cured at 55% humidity and temps from 20 - 28C for 7 days. I took 3 buds and cured them separately for 2 days.


bud 1 - Kept right next to dehumidifier with warm air hitting it. 55% humidity


bud 2 - Cured in the air at 60% humidity with slight breeze


bud 3 - Kept bottled at 62% humidity


All buds pressed at 80C for 2:30 minutes

Came out pretty similar. Outside cured one was a bit more waxy. Going to try another batch where I cure them all differently from the start.

Super nice. Bravo

SHiva Cookies and Stardawg from Sun Valley. Smells like fruit punch. This is a lower bud I chopped to try some rosin:

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

ANd here's the rosin. Would be more waxy if it was so hot and humid here.

Got some purple going on, is Pondoland in Transkei?

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

Yes if you search Pondolàndia on google maps you'll find it. I'm not 100% sure but the seeds I sent you are from the same area but not the same batch. Otherwise it's from a place just 1 or 2km away.

 

[Pennywise]

Ok those are good looking plants for sure.

Getting super close.

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

That's a shot of a bud, already harvested. It's a lower bud though, haven't fully trimmed the main buds yet

 

[Pennywise]

Ok cool, turned out nice. Can’t wait for the smoke report.

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

Oh the smoke report is it's dank! Good smoke, the usual hybrid high but feel potent. So far the only complaint on this strain is that it smells bad in the bottle.
It's shiva cookies and stardawg

Maybe the Chem D terps are dominating. Chem D can be on the offensive side.
