Re: Troy's 2nd Grow — DP Auto Ultimate & Euphoria, Meph Alien v Tangle Auto, RQS Die

Sure u all over it but if u put in paper towel in baggy like u stated moist not wet.. in bag it holds moisture..I use same water I soaked seedling in and I soak paper towel then squeeze out only leaving it just moist not dripping ..

Let me know how it goes .. last 9 I did were all sprouted and planted in 36hrs some even less but not one took more then 36hrs to sprout...

Cheers u r one busy grower lol...I just got in 5 seeds of al the following dark devil,Purple Kush,bubba kush,blueberry then 20 white widows ..

I'm getting ready for my summer gardening lol

I soaked overnight then into paper towel - damp - inside of individual baggie for each strain. On my initial run where I may have screwed up was I put them on a heated propagation mat. The mat may have been too hot for them. On my second batch I didn't use the heat mat and out of 6 only 4 cracked and out of that one was the mutant.

I wish I could grow outside but while it is legal now in California my town has a restriction that prohibits outdoor growing. Ugh..

I'm going to grow the 6 plants that I have currently going and somewhere about the middle of March will be dropping seeds for my second grow of the season. I have to have it completed by July 1 as I have to go out of town for most of the summer. Want to leave enough time to dry and jar up.

Great TIP Joe, yah I give this link out too. It's a MUST-DO for sure.

I do heavy tip spreading from midveg to flower. It helps you stack your buds and allow for bigger bud sites by opening the the tips of your flowers as they grow and mature.

Also Troy, do you have both your 600's on, or just one for veg? Just wondering how much light you have on during your early veg?

Your garden is beautiful, feels like a laboratory of goodness. I'm really starting to like auto's now. The progress is so fast, good for my time schedule.

Hi Lady G - Hope your week is doing well. I did a little bud spreading just now. The girls go to bed right now but will be waking up in 4 hours.

As for lights - All lights (both of the 600's) are on full spectrum (both grow and flower). The lights are sitting about 24" up from the plants and I have them sitting at a 45 degree angel.

I was really against Autos when I first started growing, basically because I didn't know anything about them. I decided to grow Autos this time because of some hard deadlines i have that will be taking me away for most of the summer. I am hoping to get in two crops and hopefully have enough to last me until I can get a grow started in late November.

Yeah only use what you need for the stretch and what is needed for light then that way when you start to go flower. You can add the other light And keep the lights as high as you can after stretch is over with full power hopefully?

Thinking out loud .

Ya grow2healme I am impressed with how well my headband stacked .

Shout out to light Addict .

I agree. Love the Kushy feeling. I bought some Afghan Kush before my last grow was harvested. My spouse likes it much better than the Girl Scout Cookies I grew.

Afghan kush ryder auto - blew my socks off, by far the strongest cerebral indica I've ever smoked, so strong I can't smoke it now, but I did when I had a HIGH tolerance. I'm curious to get your smoke report on this beauty. Geez anything KUSH and you got my attention. Happy trails, your spouse is a champion! hahahaha More KUSHion for the pushin'...lol

*Thanks for the low down on your light info.

*I love autos so far, I grew them before and they didn't pan out, but now that I have way more experience, all seems well. Makes me think of all the bad things I did before to them, now I'm getting a decent grow so far. I guess it's all timing. I almost think the photos are better to start off with, then turn to autos when you can speed up your methods with knowledge.

Yeah only use what you need for the stretch and what is needed for light then that way when you start to go flower. You can add the other light And keep the lights as high as you can after stretch is over with full power hopefully?

*Thanks Joe, I only have a Dwarf Star that isn't good for early veg but it's perfect for late veg/flowering in a smaller space. I had to go back to using my T5's.
So that's why I was asking about Troys light situation cause I'm limited in the light department right now.

*Cool man, my cdbdream stacked like a plate of pancakes and the crystals covered them like syrup. I'm happy for you Joe.

That may be just what I need.

I rarely smoke my harvest and instead turn it into tinctures. I suffer from severe insomnia and try to brew something that will help me stay asleep. I have an Afghan Kush now that is really strong and I think I concentrated it down a little too much. I can handle 1/2 ml but if I go over by 1 or 2 drops I hit a euphoria level and just drift not sleep for a couple hours.

With my JuJu Juice I can get a good 8 Plus hours of sleep and have allowed me to dump my Lunesta and Ambien.

Dee is bushing out nicely!

Thanks Stupidface - Yea she is really filling in now that I have backed off on heavy LST. I've been doing some Tip Spreading and leaf tucking. It is amazing how thick the main stem is. I may try to get a picture of it later today -

Not difficult at all. MagicButter Machine is relatively quick but I find that it pulls too much Chlorophyll. My preference is the Cold Process in the freezer. I make it with Pure Grain Alcohol. In California you can only purchase EverClear 151 so I have to buy it from an Extractohol (a sponsor on 420 magazine).

Basic Instructions - you can 4x receipe for a full ounce (28g)

1. Put your PGA in Freezer a day before you begin.
2. One Quarter Ounce (7g) Top Shelf product - chop coarsely
3. Decarb in in 240 F (115 C) Oven for 40 minutes - then let cool.
4 Place the decarbed herbs in sealed Mason jar into the freezer for 24 hours.
Also place a pint of Everclear or other 190+ proof alcohol in freezer for 24 hours.
5. Shake aggressively the frozen herb 4 or 5 times about 3-4 hours apart. This is to help break the Trich's off the herb.

6. After 24 hours add 90ml/3fl oz to a Mason jar with herbals. Shake aggressively for 5 minutes.
Place back in freezer for 2 hours and then shake again for another 5 minutes. Repeat aggressively shaking a number of times over the next 24 hours

7 Next morning Strain your herb and place liquid in a different mason jar.

8. Place the frozen herb back in freezer overnight -

9. Next morning add an additional 45 ml for 7g of EverClear - Shake aggressively for 5 minutes and then strain the leaf and place the liquid in the other jar. You can dispose of the remaining leaf. I sometimes brew up some hot Tee - and drink .... be careful it can put you on the floor. Takes about 2 hours to hit.

10. Your tincture is almost complete. Now strain the mixture through a coffee filter to get rid of the dredges.

11. Try it out at a dosage of 1 ml and wait at least 2 hours to determine how you like the strength. If too weak try 2 ml.

12. After determining the strength you like you can then slowly evaporate off some alcohol by placing the Tincture in a Pyrex Measuring cup placed in a sauce pan. I hang the handle of the measuring cup over the edge of the sauce pan. I also place a folded paper towel underneath the measuring cup to all the water not to jibble the measuring cup much. Make sure you have good ventilation and DO NOT DO THIS OVER AN OPEN FLAME.

13. Raise temperature slowly until you see the tincture start to gently bubble. It will start bubbling faster to the water as the boiling point is lower.
I usually reduce it by 50-75% until I get at the dosage I wish.

Here's a picture of Dee's stem - It's getting huge

LOL - just noticed that the shoot with the stake on it was the one I broke off and grafted back on using Elmer's Glue.

 

[Troy01]

To those interested in making Tincture - P'Sam was my mentor in learning to make Tincture and I'm hooked on his process.

Dee - 28 Days Old

Dee really took off overnight and looks like she put on a good inch in some places.

Carol - 21 Days

Carol - if you recall was a mutant and self topped. She is growing really slowly and may be a good candidate to be culled.

Alison - Day 17 Topped a couple days ago
