Shiggityflip - Follow The Yellow Brix Road With The Perfect Sun 1000

9 pages and a month late. Gots me some reading to do.
Was just checking out the perfect sun website, nice looking light, made in Oregon:thumb:
Then I noticed the link in your sig......got here asap.
Cheers Shiggs
Thanks for sharing
:thanks:
 
Very informative post Shiggity.
Pls take these well earned +reps.
 
Thanks guys! Made my morning.

Sue I usually wait for a few hours after getting up to partake. Otherwise I wouldn't get anything done!

I just gave you some more +REPS. I was given +REPS on my reply to your post this morning, but I'm pretty sure they were really intended for you and the person just didn't see the original post by you. ;)
 
Flip+20

Hey peeps! Its been a crazy few weeks with fallen trees and massive mounts of writing and paperwork. Plus nothing happens thats very fun until the end of the third week haha. Last night I gave Cat drench + tea. Every plant got recharge and the Twisters got 1/8 cup of blood meal 4 days ago. High Brix plants love their CAT drench and I will follow Cat drench with an OG drench for the Twister and Pineapple fields. Everything else is new so I wouldn't try with them until I see how they do without it.

If you remember back these plants were flipped late because I got the flu. I also didnt swtch the timer correctly for the first week and had them on 12.5 hours light instead of 12.5 hours dark. Thank God I checked or things would be REALLY crazy lol! So expect to see plants just a bit bigger than normal in Shiggys garden haha.

One note. You may notice I don't pull the fans when lollypopping. Just the sprouts. I feel like this does two things. The fans closest to the bottom feed the root system. And the plant cannibalizes these fans as well during flower. So I find they yellow and fall naturally during the course of flower. Just something to think about. Sometimes when I see a plant that has been defoled too much you can see the edges of the sugar leaves begin to get cannibalized in late flower. Sometimes these brown edges even pull back into the bud where they can cause mold! The plant will pull needed nutes from somewhere. Might as well give it a few big fan leaves to munch on!

4Csins

These Sativa heavy crosses are showing their sativa genetics for sure. Though in general they have been pretty good. No idea on the finish time. They are still stretching a bit so I will try to figure it out by when they stop. Some real lemon lime terps. Maybe Ziggy will drop in with some idea of finishing time.

4CD

This one may really put out. I hope its with high quality. Had some tops start bleaching so I super cropped any that were pale at the tip. Usually fixes it right up. Raised the lights a bit.

This one also seems special early. Stronger smell and nice gummy feeling stems.

Bluniverse 3

Both of these Dynasty Bluniverses are looking fantastic. They are a cross of Blue Magoo and Ms. Universe. Blue magoo is a bueberry medical strain in the PNW. Ms. U is a Des*star and has Kali mist in the gentics. With the vigor of these two one at least sure to be a winner.

Pineapple Fields "Linda" pheno D


She is doing nicely as usual. Sh'e a bit bigger this grow than the last so I am interested in seeing some bud size. I opened her up a bit as she was heavily packed

Jinxproof TGA Shangrila

Jinxprrof is an amazing individual and is active in autism awareness. He is a glass blower and grower/breeder.
This plant reminds me of the agent orange in shape, an inverted sativa cone. BUt...look at the trichomes already on these flowers. nuff said, she is gonna have some nice sugar.

Twisters and Shangrila

Twisters are 1/2 under PS1000 and 1/2 under 600W hps I wanted to get them under the PS1000 but they rebelled and got crazy tall on me. So they are at least right next to it and will get some side lighting from the PS1000 on the colas! The Shangrila to the right of the twisters are growing crazy outward so I expanded the grow area haha.

Shiggs. Man!!! You're kicking butt! :) (+) reps!!
The 4CSins are in their maiden run & You're running it. :rofl:
Great job too. :thumb:
Let's see: They're made with Carnival x Cotton Candy x Colombian
GT can help with the timing of Carnival xCotton Candy :)
 
Damn, you ate doing my light mad justice. I hope my plants survive my vacation. They have been on the drip system since Saturday without me there. Kind of stressful but worse case is I b have to start over.
 
This is a very informative post! +REPS! :welldone:

Ditto! I'll stack my reps there too. Excellent post Shiggity. :high-five: I love starting my day with an informative lesson. Gosh, for a moment there I thought Icemud had walked in the door.

I find I'm never really straight anymore Shiggity. You??? :laughtwo:

Dammit, I wasted my +reps on a higher post, still epic but nowhere near as informative.

And a further dammit that now i have hours of research to do on this whole far red thing, which frankly I think may be a commie plot.
 
Oh arteekay, it's definitely a commie plot. :rofl:

Shiggity, weemeoff is asking for advice on flushing and getting a plant to harvest. I recall you recently had a discussion about light feeding through to harvest? I was wondering if you'd save him the trouble of tracking you down and stop in at his journal. He made a mistake on some capsules and he's going to be busy emptying them so he can start them over.

It'd be so nice if you'd help him out. He may not take your advice, but I thought it important to get your perspective.

I meant to get the rosin thread up and then came Tutankhamon. I made some Tutankhamon rosin. Got 15% yield but TUt was pulled early last grow as I didn't want to wait for one plant to finish. I dabbed some...and here we are. This is some potent smokable. And the terps are ridiculous. I may try to squeeze her high brix version into next grow but there are so many new seedlings.

Pineapple Fields, Dark dragon, sour bubble, GG#4 X dosido, cactus X dosido, hulkamaniac, I may not have room till after this grow. And for that one I have 9 Pineapple fields "Linda" plants that will veg from now until then. She's a slow vegger. I may try the net thing someone was doing. Was that FE? I can't remember.

So far HK Pineberry gave a whopping 22%, Tutankhamon 15% yield, and Pineapple Fields 16%. I tried kief in a coffee filter but it blew out. Need to get a bit of steel mesh or some teabags.

I am still working out my protocol for rosin. Right now I am pre flattening with two giant padlocks lol. Looking for a hammer press that can make a puck just bigger than 1". I also want to get a pipe to slip over and extend my lever for the press. More torque means more yield. I have been staying under 220F for terp retention. I squish for 15 seconds. The nugs extend almost to the edge of the plate when squished so the rosin does not stay under heat for that time. It squishes out side the plates. I am not getting all the rosin out. I can feel some in the Nug chips. If the pipe to increase torque doesn't work I will get a cheap hand pump hydraulic press. May be easy on these old arms. The arbor press was for proof of concept.

So I'm excited that eventually when I upgrade I will get a little bump in yield too! I have been saving all my chips for some kind of edible or oil.

An actual thread later. This Tut rosin just has me spinning!

How about a hydraulic shop press? You can get a 12 ton press for $100 or less.
