The Sauga Ends Here

Hey everybody!
I've never shown anyone the runt my wife tried to grow. This was a seed that she threw away and then one day just showed up in the yard rubbish. I tried to save it but this is how she looks. It's either a Tangiematic or a Big Bomb auto.

looks great in the tent. So she literally threw it out thinking a dud and it came back for revenge?
 
Now I feel less crazy keeping a dud seed in paper towel till it like rots rather then hucking lol

You'll see in the below pic that I now use the binder clip to grab the french tickler for no other reason but to show it's not doing anything now. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Whaaat? Silly man. Oh, how about sour dough pizza crust with your starter “waste”? It’s delicious!

It's a great idea and what I've already looked into. I think they call the waste 'discard'. HH mentioned a few other tasty treats like pretzels!

lol, some will remember a year ago I dropped seeds under my deck. I never seen a plant but kept thinking one day it will surprise me.

Hey Shed that's the same recipe for sourdough i use except I have reduced the salt to 1% for my wife she is on a low sodium diet. I got the recipe online here I double the recipe to make 2 loafs and the measurements work out the same as yours.

I've been doing sourdough and baking other breads for a long time, now, and the recipe I always use is a "1-2-3" sourdough. It's ONE part starter, TWO parts water, and THREE parts flour (I usually use 20% rye flour & 80% bread flour), then salt to taste. All measurements are by WEIGHT so you need a scale. It makes a dough that's right around 72% hydration, which is perfect for sourdough and easy to scale up/down depending on how much you want to make.

I have been looking and will check again once I get to the bread part. I did use distilled water but I guess tap water is OK if left to degas.
how to freeze sourdough starter
Another way to save starter is by freezing it in its liquid form.
  • Pour the starter into an ice cube tray and place in freezer until frozen. Transfer the cubes into a freezer-safe container and keep frozen for up to 1 year.
  • To use, allow a cube to thaw in a jar. Once fully thawed, feed with 100g water and 100g flour to reactivate the starter. (A few feedings might be necessary)

I always have a couple/few frozen as back-ups and to mail to friends but I do it a little differently. Since the sourdough feeds on flour anyways, I just add enough flour to a little bit of very active starter to make a firm (not sticky) dough. I then make some dough balls, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and store in a ziplock bag in the freezer. These doughballs are easy to mail and/or transport, and to use them, just thaw and add enough water and mix to create the starter's batter-like consistency then feed and treat as normal starter. This starter is usually ready to bake with in less than 24 hours.

I'll broaden out with the rye down the road as I have seen that mentioned before too and I love rye bread. I already have the bread flour.

I like this idea. Do you make the balls at the rise and fall point or does it matter?

EDIT: I do have a scale and use weight measurements whenever I can.

Ideally, you want the starter before it starts falling, when it's nice & bubbly and active. Less active starter will work fine, too, but the less active it is the more feedings (time) it will need before use, once it's thawed.
 
Hey everybody!
A few pics of the Meringue and Mokum's Tulips. Meringue #2 should be coming down tomorrow. I haven't looked at the trichs but judging by the pistils she's real close. Most have curled back into the bud and not too many white ones now.

Love how orange the pistils are, very pretty! Amazed they are ready the way all your leaves are still so green and healthy but then your plants seem to always look good to the end. They are also beautifully frosty, a success of a crop all around. Congrats Mr. S.

lol, those were great cameras when nothing else was available! I probably still have one kicking around!
 
Hey everybody!
I took my Meringue # 2 down today. I didn't expect much weight and I got exactly that. I'll be going back to feeding just MC alone on the current weedseedsexpress and see if my yields increase. All the plants in the tent have LSD (Limp Stem Disorder) as I call it and could be a indication of excess N. It could also have to do with the blurple lights I used for the very first time after two years. I never had the issue with the HID so I don't know if it's related.
So here's some pics.

Asking for a friend:ganjamon:

Tell your "friend" that I can get the pink color ones and not blue ones. The pink ones have a tendency to cause warts on the stem but most won't notice when covered up. Still cheaper which is what's important.
