Trala’s Tent

[Trala]

Omg so I’ve got a delicious day to myself and I’ve hit my yard running.

Life gives you mirrors constantly reflecting the type of human you are.

My life mirror watched this today.

My brain: Oiiii fucktard. Be careful. There’s a smoking dog shit at 3 o’clock. Repeat, retain: dog shit 3 o’clock.

Me: yup. Locked in. Thanks brain.

Me *not 43 seconds later while standing in dog shit*: oh for fuck sake!

My brain: you can lead a moron to information but you can’t make ‘em think…

FML.

Look I can, but I’m no expert. I found a guy in here who is the ducks nuts when it comes to fridge drying his name is @GratefulBud. I will go through the steps for you today. I have changed it up just a tad.

*Spits out beverage*
Say what now?
LOL!

Congrats on the chop, looks in-freaking-sane.

I have seen a deep buried stem work like a charm and I’ve also seen it kill a plant, hopefully yours is golden tho.

I don’t belive that shite for a moment - how much did he shellack you for?

BTW’s….it really sucks to send reminders but today is Fat Tuesday, and I hope you are sharing

@HashGirl this is how I dry. Not saying it’s right it’s just the way I do it, coz you asked me.

Omg I always feel so shy in my heart when doing like tutorials, it feels like that dreaded school talk day where you were forced to stand in front of the class. I’m fine being loud and disruptive in the back, but put me in the front and I feel so self conscious! Lol

First thing, I think you must have a frost free fridge. Like I’m not 100% on that, but I think you do, coz if those bags get wet you’re fucked.

First time round I recommend humidity thingys. They will teach you you can’t do this method focused on humidity lol. Watching the humidity go up, then stabilise, then drop down, then go up teaches you. Make sure you touch it, not in the first few days tho lol, because for me, the touch is what determines where I’m at in the drying process.

So first I cut my bud to similar sizes, I have them seperated into small, medium and larger. Obviously because the larger the bud the slower the process. I want them drying at a similar rate.

Then I get my paper bag, and I fill it so the bottom of my bag is 75% covered. I use good quality hospital pharmacy discharge bags brown paper bags. I then clip them with a clothes peg.

I lay them on my shelves, and then twice each day, 12 hours apart, I flip and shake. I do this each day for around a week. And I rotate top to bottom each 12 hours. Never touching, the M and L, only observing my bud. I can see it’s not dry. I am also taking notice of the thump in the bag. The drier it gets the harder the thump, it’s hard to explain. Day 6- 7 I touch it, and from then I touch one bud in each bag. I am waiting for it to feel drier than a dead dingos donger! Your humidity thingy will read 35%. So dry the first time you feel it it scares the fuck outta ya coz you think you’ve over dried it. From that point I put it in a jar with a humidifier thingy. and it plumps straight up, well not straight, takes about an hour. From there if it sneaks above 71% humidity, back in the fridge. Under 70%, I start the burping process.

I got you pics in case you need a visual.

Oh and do you think my man will notice I’ve overtaken his bar fridge?

L O L L I N G !

Bluebelle Bee got an uppot. While she didn't need it root wise, I am unhappy with her gangly shape, so this was an idea I had to get control of that.

Omg another thing, she’s not green enough for me. She looks too light, just a tiny bit, and I’ve realised I’ve been starving her! I’m still on fucking node feed. To me she’s so tiny, it wasn’t till she was in a bigger pot that I realised. She’s a proper little girl, not a baby.

I got a pic of my newly planted ‘erb garden. The rain drowned my plants. That garden box is made from a $15 shed with missing parts from the bargain box at Bunnings. I love a good repurpose.

In her big bed

And I know this isn’t ideal, but I’ve made a Captains call with MC. I am taking any damaged leaf off, my rational is there is always one nit egg left, it pops 10 more nits. I think if I take the house coupled with the spray, I have a better job controlling them.

If anyone needs a visual why you shouldn’t nip leaves, here you go. Two clones taken the same day, and believe it or not the one that is struggling was easily the superior clone initially. Her foliage was so so thick, but in that thickness a colony of spider mites was created. It’s that or scrap her, and I can’t do that. She will get the shit light in my flower room too. Poor MC

Keeping up the good fight!

Learn so much coming in here.

Oh the herb garden looks good, bit partial to a Bunnos bargain myself.

*Removes box*
*Hides screws*
"Hey mate, how much for this one, looks a bit damaged, some idiot has unwrapped it, any chance of a discount?"

I dont feel bad, nor will be shamed in my neferious deeds, fucking WesFarmers clear a fucking mountain of profit every year, and not 1 staff member looks like they wanna be there.

Staff *Scratches chin*
"I could give you 25% off"
Me "Make it 30 and Ill load this puppy up, or you can clean up this mess and hope some other poor Joker buys it..."
Staff " Done".

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Nice fuzzy harvest Trala!

You're doing some wonderful things around that pool.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Congrats on the harvest

New little ones too. Woop woop!

There is actually a fridge dry thread with heaps of interesting info.

Any info I share, besides cloning, I’ve learned here. I’ll get you a before 420, after 420 pic of my bud, and the funniest thing, I thought my before bud was ok at the time Lol.

I have to agree. While Bunnings has been awesome in creating the snag on bread hardware shopping tradition, it has killed the local hardware shops trade. We have a little Mitre 10 in town and we try so hard to support local business where we can, despite the smaller selection and higher prices. But for the most part you have to go to Bunnings.

I find there are two kinds of workers there. The one who obviously hates customers even more than they hate hardware, or the hardware obsessed super talker, where you are just living for the break in conversation where you can detangle with “thank you so much, bye..”. 19:1 ratio between the hater and the chatter tho.

Omg that MC Mimosa clone is turning out to be a Borginator tho. She is just going to need ongoing treatment till harvest.

Congrats on the harvest

New little ones too. Woop woop!

Don’t count my chickens before they are hatched. They haven’t popped yet bruv.

We literally just got hammered. Like a super cell. 10 minutes of mayhem.

I saw some of it here on our world news. You guys are having a nasty time of it. Stay hydrated in spite!

 

[HashGirl]

Thanks for the low and slow info, Trala. The low and slow thread is so long. I just wanted a easy step by step tutorial and I love the pictures as I'm absolutely a visual learner.

Hope the rain stops soon. The news looks terrible.

[7Dust2]

Wow missed alot. . All caught up now

 

[Trala]

Guess who decided to say hello?

I’m so happy. Zkittles is awake. I don’t think my Shiskaberry will come to the party tho. She was stored in the heat wth my wedding cake for a year in the heat and humidity.

Oh and we officially have flood damage. My man’s restored 1970 VALIANT VG coupe is entirely under water. He has had it since he was 21, and he has poured coin into it. I’m so sad for him.

Singular. Baby.

Second one hasn’t shown up yet.

I am 86% sure she won’t. Her and the Wedding Cake got tired of my shout lolllinggg.

I’ll pop another on Sunday if she’s a no show.

Herbies Seeds tho, 2 from 2.
