Thank you for mentioning mold Sue. I've been meaning to burp my jars for weeks and haven't had time. I took the time tonight after reading your post and found one jar of C99 that had a couple of small spots starting so I aired out all the jars for a half hour. I cut out the affected areas in the one jar and decided I'll smoke the rest of that jar first. The moldy pieces are in the trash. Only lost about two bowls worth so I think I caught it in time.

Good afternoon everyone 
Ahhh..... The day's off to a delightful start. This morning I decided to start the day with Callanetics. It's a battle sometimes this time of year to get my schedule adjusted to the shortened daylight hours, and it's been a week since my last session. This is my method for keeping me in balance, so getting back to it today was sweet relief.
Then I headed out for a three-mile walk along the river with my friend, followed by lunch at our favorite local restaurant along the trail. Afterwards, on the way home, we stopped off to pick up my new toy.
We've been working on ways to make FHO with less stress, and I think we've pretty much determined that a pressure cooker is the way to go. Today, I was getting ready to ask the BIL if he'd front me the money for one when he pulled out his debit card and said "Go buy one."
Now I get to experiment and put together a tutorial on using the pressure cooker to make the best damn oil in the world.
Few things make me happier than what I do around this neighborhood. I love learning and experimenting, and I thrill at creating posts that make it easier to learn yourself. The more independant we can be with processing the safer we are. That's just my way of thinking.
These two girls are the ones I'm most inclined to turn into oil.
CBD Critical Cure 2.6 still has over a month to go.
Candy Cane 3.1 has approximately 45 - 50 days to go until harvest.
In the meantime I'll play with some other features and get familiar with the equipment. Right now I have some drenches to do and some stairways to mop. Later guys.
....... Hey......do I have to say it? Ok..... Joy....Share

I find it interesting that your new toy is called "Instant Pot".
If the world only worked that way. Lol.

Sorry you lost some plants Sue, that happens sometimes. Glad you roll with the punches, it's a healthier response!
H2O2 again ... it's great stuff!
Hydrogen Peroxide cleans perlite (soak) really well and kills PM (30ml 3% H202/ 1 gallon H20) when sprayed on the leaves.
Its the most useful of any chemical I've used in growing, and it's basically harmless to MOST plants at 3%. Not all plants, but cannabis does well with H2O2.
I know a CoOp grower that drenches soil (non-organic) during flush with it to good effect, and H202 mists all of her veg plants every few days.
Be CAREFUL though, you might get hooked on 3% H2O2 and the cost will drive you to buy 35%. Handle and measure with care if using 35% H202, it's crazy what one little unstable highly reactive Oxygen atom can do.
Peace

This one is six quarts. I can't think of any reason why a smaller one wouldn't work keltic. Hadn't thought about a smaller one.
I went looking and they carry the smaller one in the store. I'll take this one back and trade it in. That three quarts will be more than sufficient for FHO, and for cooking purposes as well.
Thank you for asking that question before I fired it up.
It can burst it's bonds and loose that little O right into my pots! Oh I need to get another jug and play with some.
Many hydro growers use it to boost Oxygen levels in their water.
Have a spooky night!

Why thank you Grandpa.
Lol! I kept forgetting it was Halloween. Living in an apartment building kinda takes the excitement out of it. Time to unwind.

That was the hardest part of the loss, Joe. I'd never cut a plant I couldn't make some use of.
It's a matter of pride that I get the most out of every plant. I think it's the frugal Scottish blood that runs through my DNA.

Yes it is keltic. I left a query about the usefulness of the 3-quart one for our purposes on the FHO thread. Let's see what comes of it before we go running to buy.
This is one of my many charms.
I tend to be impulsive. I don't hesitate to admit I may have jumped the gun though, so I straighten it out quickly. It's just that this means I get to walk to the store with heavy boxes sometimes. Lol! You know I love you, right?
I'm thinkin' H2O2 foliars may become a regular feature in SweetSue's gardens after reading that.
Do you use it in any regular way in your garden Tead?
Interesting thought I'd meant to share with you, my friend. You lit the fire of hempy, with the intention of sharing the easy method you use. I took it and went bigger. As I've gone on I'm seeing the wisdom of the garden you established - smaller pots, little trees that consistently supply you with what you need. You've found the middle ground for personal growing. I admire that.
I've always been attracted to the idea of planting a seed a day in solo cups. The budscicle approach turns out to be the way to get the best harvest, in terms of quality. The best oils are in the tops, and you get more of them in a budscicle grow.
And yet we keep getting sidetracked by big, beautiful plants.
You notice I'm thinking of shifting back to the smaller pots with hempy? I'm toying with the idea of perfecting the Osmo + too.
I guess what I'm saying is that every day I find myself thinking "That Tead is smarter than me. I need to pay closer attention to how he grows."

Lost my first clone. I suspect I planted it in the polluted perlite. *sigh*
The Devil's Carnival clone gave up the ghost.
Turned out to be a good impulse to keep the mother until I was sure I had roots.

Been catching up. Wow a lot can happen! . Condolences for your lost ones Sue. . Boy I'm glad you kept the DC going and can clone again. Unforgiving medium hey? How long were they in the bad perlite before signs were showing?

Hello Amy
It was about six days from potting to culling. Poor babies.
Consolation for the picture of the dead clone. Dark Slide, day 50 of flower.
In the spirit of Halloween ., I wish you more dark devil and carnival in your future.
We can still hug . on Halloween right.... much love

Nope.... but I played with it when I was trying active hydro. Fun stuff. Tead likes toys.
Thanks... but let's focus on some particular ideas here.
First, who's tress you callin 'little'?!?!
Ok... got that out...
I've arrived where I am thru actions and reactions... not wisdom... well, not real wisdom really... just the wisdom to do what little I can with the pieces I have at hand. I've always been a fan of the lemons to lemonade idea.
I'm dealt a pretty ugly poker hand at the grower's table. I try to swap the cards out when I find a better one, but there are plenty of tough cards left in the deck and good ones are rare.
Much like my plants trying to find a way to survive... I do what I can.

Shhhhhhhh.... what the hell woman! Givin away my secrets dammit.
As the years flow, the sly devil discovers that the quiet whisper can be much more effective than a megaphone... ya just gotta be smart enough to know how to deliver it in a way that causes future growth. I 'plant' thoughts and let them work to their obvious natural conclusion in the 'mental garden' of others.
I know I actually delivered a hempy liturgy on the subject a time or two, but I think you realize I'm not one to preach. I plant the ideas with photos and friendly words and wait to see what sprouts.
Of course, I'm sure you're aware of all these ideas and may have some fun implementing some of them.
A little side note here... Thanks Lexort... you and your little 2Ls... one of the best moves I ever made.
Now get out there and start planting some different seeds. I like the seeds you've planted in your little discussion/coffee group... I look for gardens like that to do a little mental planting of my own.
