All the plants came from the same mother's, they got the same irrigation cycles and nutrients, same lights, same environment, only difference was Vulx.

If this doesn't prove the value of @Vulx in a few pictures I don't know what can. Not only that they are a great company to count amongst our ranks. Thanks again for everything you guys do for the 420 community at large.

Looks like it makes a difference.

 

[Vulx]

Thanks for the photos and the kind words. Really awesome crop you have here all-around. Getting the chop soon I imagine!

 

[TurboBucket]

Yup sometime in the next few days. Maybe tonight.

Purple Skunk Mass bucket babies.

Still haven't chopped yet. Somehow I've been almost busier after the restrictions than I was before? Dunno. Crops still gotta go in the ground so Im reluctant to tell folks I won't fix their tractors.

 

[Pennywise]

Weird times for sure.

Nice and stinky. Lots of future plants buried in them. Probably make a ton of it into hash so I'm not smoking beans haha.

Anyone have a good seed harvesting process?

 

[TurboBucket]

Should be ready to start trimming in the next couple of days. They smell great.

I finally have all the tents moved into the mechanical room. I don't have anything hooked up yet though still waiting for more pieces and parts.

 

[Pennywise]

I used to use double albums, they worked a charm.

 

[TurboBucket]

Nice good call. The last couple times I've just used the trim bin, same basic principle. I've noticed some of them seem to come lose in the wash, maybe I'll try that too.

 

[Pennywise]

I’ve used a trim bin as well, it did a good job plus got some dry sift from the deal.

 

[TurboBucket]

I freaking love the trim bins, best harvest tool ever haha

 

[Pennywise]

They are handy for sure, they do a good job collecting pollen too.

 

[TurboBucket]

Yup. I used it for that too. I could never figure out how to get all the pollen out of the brush though. Thankfully I have two so that mistake didn't totally screw me.

 

[Pennywise]

Small craft brushes are dirt cheap at the dollar stores.

 

[TurboBucket]

So I finally got one side setup and a few plants in it. So now it's a recirculating Coco top feed.

Pretty basic, the tray drains into an underbed storage tote with a small pump in it. Water is still distributed with the 12 head manifolds from site sponsor Cannabis irrigation supply. Eventually I'll add a top up reservoir but for now I'll just refill manually as needed.


The weights are in for the vulx comparative run and it was mostly as I anticipated. The purple Trainwreck and gorilla bomb plants treated with vulx were heavier than the controls. But the Bagseed Barbie plant that was treated actually ended up being the lightest of it's strain. The quality is very similar with the Barbie plants. The gorilla bomb and ptw plants both smell and look better than the controls but the flavor is pretty equal. So not the blowout results I expected but definitely a good showing.

I'm washing some hash tonight and doing some cooking/baking to use up some of my excess butter and bacon fat. I wanna make a new batch with some of this seeded bud from last harvest.

 

[Pennywise]

That setup is almost identical to the one I used for my Starkiller run.

 

[TurboBucket]

Nice new pic!
I'm hoping the change to the new systems isn't too bumpy.

Did you run an air stone or circ pump in yours?

I want to try and avoid it if I can. I think the water draining back from irrigating should be enough to avoid o2 depletion and the enzymes should keep it clean(ish).

 

[Pennywise]

That setup for me was extremely stable.

The caramels came out pretty well. It's been a long time since Ive made any candy, happy to see I still can Haha

If you want the recipe just ask but you can find recipes for bacon fat Carmel on Google. I used special butter and special bacon fat in them.


Washed a couple batches of hash last night, fired it all back up again this morning to crank a few more loads through. These loads are all just trim.
