Thank you Juan for the nice compliments, and for stopping by this weird journal.
Shigitty I will be there with bells on! Unless I am out of range on the ocean which is quite possible this time of year. In which case most likely I'll be having my own little smokathon, on the high seas (so to speak).
Speaking of smokathons.... A POTM vape pen arrived in the mail a couple days ago, courtesy of 420 and Vapor Brothers.
Now, I'd only vaped one (1) time before, several years ago, and know absolutely nothing about vaporizers at all but have made great strides forward with it due to my natural mechanical genius.
Most importantly, I finally discovered which part of the pen to put the 'stuff' in.
That was after an unsatisfying half day spent cramming hash into random orifices of the pen and wondering whether this vaping business is really all that it's cracked up to be.
After I found the right orifice though I proceeded to dip into the Malawi hash and some Mama Thai hash, and got increasingly vaped out, till I finally dragged myself to bed at 4am. Yay!
I dragged the Pineapple Chunk out into the light of day to see what was left of it. Looking pretty bombed out. It's been flowering for 110 days.
I managed to save some bud from the middle screen shown in the picture, which is the screen I trimmed a bit of last week.
By the time I got that screen done it was getting dark out, and also getting very stoned out. I ended up just chopping the two other screens up to dry for bubble hash. I probably could have saved a lot of bud out of those two screens but I was getting pretty tired of it by that point. Trimming that dead sugar leaf out of the buds was fairly labor intensive and the buds had that sort of extreme gooey feel. I tried ripping the reject ones up into smaller pieces for the drying rack but it was kind of like trying to rip apart warm marshmallows and so I had to abandon the idea. It will make good hash.
I remember Captain Blast last year saying that the sugar leaf died off on his outdoor PC. I've had it happen several times, and once it starts doing that it's best to harvest before it goes too far. These pics are a fine example of letting it go way too far. There is almost nothing that could have been done about it though as I've simply been too busy to touch the situation.
I got a large pile of untrimmed buds. I could have frozen it and make hash from the green buds. This makes for stronger hash, but the P Chunk stinks up my freezer horribly if it's not contained well, and I was too lazy last night to go find some sort of airtight containers to put the trimmings in. Besides - the hash from the dried buds is plenty good and strong.
The smell of the Pineapple Chunk is best described as fumes. It actually burns my eyes and nostrils a little bit while I'm trimming it.
Today it's the two Malawi to trim.
Oh yeah and I got some new seeds so I should try to sprout some of those.
