Radogast's Hi-Brix Basement Grow - New Location - New Soil - New Experiences

[Radogast]

I gathered up and washed a selection of airtight containers - I think the little one will be big enough for today's dried harvest.

The only veg plant that wanted water today was CBD Critical Cure

My wife had a full kief catcher in her grinder, and her tic-tac storage container was falling apart. I found her a new container. I also put in an LED dimmer switch for proper lighting of our 420 glass collection and cleaned 2 pipes and a bowl. I was a good husband today

American Grinder has a new(ish) grinder out, the AGS1-W. It combines the durability and ease of use of a 4-piece American Grinder with the viewing window of her Diamond Grind Shaker. Filled to capacity, the Diamond Grind Shaker holds over 2 oz of ground bud (a bit much to carry around), and it's pretty worn out now. The AGS1-W looks to hold a more reasonable 6-10 grams of ground bud.

The American Grinder has lasted 3x longer than either the Diamond Grind(4) or Sharpstone Grinders(2), and still has life in the grinding teeth, but as you can see, it's threads to the kief catcher are loosing their seal. It still grinds with the speed and ease of a Space Case grinder and has the best grip I've seen in a non-crank grinder. The boy just replaced his 5-piece Diamond Grind with a 4-piece American Grinder. My wife is planning to buy the American AGS1-W 'window' grinder, she just has to choose a color

Unless you folks have a better grinder recommendation.

nice grinder slection I personaly think nuthn works better then sharpstone or even this new 1 I got givin to me 4 free its a aerospaced 4 piece and works just as gud as my sharpstone i really like it but wen i cant get over my sharpstone lol ive had it so long now its worn down on the edges and looks beat to hell def. time to get a new1 but I'm the type tht goes y waste money n get sumthn u already have or if its not broke don't fix it lol but yea man gud luck on getn a new grinder let us no what u end up going with

Amherst Sour Diesel is dry


It seemed like I had more hanging than this, it doesn't look like much, maybe 1.5 oz.

I jarred up some Amherst Sour Diesel tonight. My wife chose the bubbly pasta jar which filled about 2/3 full

Weighed in at 48g and then my wife high graded the head nugs and the jar got lower.

So I'm feeling a bit bummed about growing a plant under 2 oz (I want 2.5 oz to be my minimum) when I remember THERE WERE MORE BUDS ! - I have 1/2 oz or more refrigerator curing in a ball jar. I'm smiling again

How could you forget about 1/2 oz of Amherst Sour D? Oh, wait, yeah, ...what?

Your glass is ready, buds are ready, and some premo cured waiting in the veg drawer.

You know if the bud is good, it's good... The next grow,, you just need more plants... Maybe it's a high 9 on the stone scale?? GL and Keepem Green

Hey thanks, King Rabbit!

I've never dried in the refrigerator before. 4/20 to 4/29 is only 9 days.
I think the suggested time was 2 weeks. That would be on Star Wars Day or Cinco de Mayo.

The next harvest in 2 weeks or so is only one plant, Bubba's Gift. The next 3 harvests after that look to be 2 plants each.

I just asked the wife which plant to double up on. Without hesitation, she replied "Sour Diesel." There was some talk about lying in bed, having creative thoughts, trippy thoughts, relaxing and being spacey, and other stuff that I don't now remember - - so once the ASD clone takes off, I'll clone it and double up.

* * *

I lost 3 of 4 clones with ASD: 2 taken before flower, 1 of 2 taken during flower.
I also lost 5 of 6 clones with Bubba's Gift(BG) - with the 6th clone hanging on the edge.
In the middle of that, Ace Mix, cloned just fine - 1 taken before flower is in the pot and the other looks like it will also root.

My normal success rate has been is at least 7 out of 8 - so this issue with is not normal.

I did have that problem where the pump fell over and sprinkled out all the water, twice - and the only clone I want in there is BG, so before in the next couple of weeks, I'll take advantage of the free period to clean and retreat the cloning water. It could be that my higher temps in veg are causing cloning issues, it could be these 2 strains don't like being cloned in splashing water, but a good cleaning and initial setup of nutrients might fix the problem. We'll see.

I can't say much about the Sour Diesel high yet, last night I got a combination of drunk and high, today I was using the vape. While I got a decent high (the first time ever usng a vape) it didn't last very long. I can see I have a long night of research ahead of me

Looking great! I would say look into SLX grinders. I LOVE mine. Have the gold one. Great at catching Kief, never gets stuck, smooth spin, cool build. Check them out!

Those look slick. The wife really wants a window.

Thanks for connecting the dots Rad.
The data center I slept in while on the run from Katrina had overhead bare bars. Railroad track sized. But wtf man... on the floor!?!? That's just way un-cool. Hell... what happens when the AC dumps water all over the floor. And, I mean, human nature... someone's gonna tag that bad boy sometime and it's got more kick than your run-o-the-mill power outlet. Screams lawsuit in the making.

We'll have to share bowls and stories one day. Sounds like we could bore the crap outta everyone else quickly.... but we'd be chucklin.

What's up with the worn out grinder action? I don't believe I've ever worn one out. I saw a broke tooth once.
I like to clean 'em in alcohol then evap it off and smoke the goodness.

Please explain!

Just curious Rad, what do you consider/ what do you call "head nugs"?

After a lb or so, many of the grinders get dull. They seem to dull faster when folks don't clean them. Grinder cranks break. The threads between chambers wear out.

Large terminal buds from the taller branches. There are 4 head nugs on this plant below.
(My wife sets aside 2-4 head nugs from each harvest for an extended cure.)

Transplant Day

Barney's Farm CBD Critical Cure seedling goes from a 1.75 gal into a 7 gal pot

Ministry of Cannabis Carnival seedling goes from a 1.75 gal into a 10 gal pot

I like the way the roots formed on the curved bottom of the 1.75 gal pots

Carnival tucked in as the 4th large pot in late veg

The veg area - Only 3 small pots in early veg, compared to 4 large pots in late veg. I'll start 2 more seeds. Later a clone.

 

[Jgrowlove]

Looking good radogast. I've just harvested a carnival and have a Bubba's gift that started flowering on 18-6 which was strange. Also I got a amherst sour diesel that will be coming down soon that smells amazing and is frosty as ever! Keep up the good work I'll be taking notes on cloning. I've never had good luck
