Introducing the 'Marijuana Broadcasting Corporation', ( MBC ) and their new Peacock!
Just some fun with a Bubba Kush bud while trimming early this morning. This is also my new desktop background.
Hmmm? Hawaiian Snow, sounds delicious!
I'm glad your planning on taking it a bit slower, you an OMM need to '''''''''''''slow way down'''''''''''!
Lucky for me the mold waited as long as it did to show up. As it was, most of the mold was on the Runt. Lost up to half an ounce on her initially and ended up just leaving the rest of her, the bottom fluff outside while the tops were harvested. Sacrificed perhaps an ounce total to the PM. I got 2 ozs off of her and she is in jars as of early this morning.
That gives me a total of 24 ounces with only the Bubba Kush to go.
The Bubba got the chop this morning or rather early this morning, between 1 am and 6 am. As I trimmed her I was looking very closely for any mold and I did find some, though not very much, just a few small buds and a piece of one of the three large tops (not the main). I was very lucky! Would've really been painful for me to loose her after all this time.
The Bubba is all trimmed up and is hanging (large buds or in the paper bag (smaller buds). Her wet weight was 255 or perhaps about 3 ounces when dry. I didn't expect much more than that from her as she was the smallest plant of them all (shortest veg time).
Both the Bubba and the Runt were harvested at mostly cloudy trichomes with a few amber scattered around depending on where you looked (or how stoned I was at the time). The onset of the mold was the final determining factor on when to chop. I don't think that any of the plants I had brought in from outside had matured much. The lack of sunlight I'm sure. They matured a tiny bit perhaps going from cloudy to finally a few ambers. I would think that if I'd been able to keep them outside they would have matured and done it much faster. This could have gone on for weeks! And who knows what would have happened to the potency?
Yes I've heard of the IFHM Club and I'm honored to be an honorary member! Thank you blue! LOL
Thanks for posting that remedy up for all to see my friend! Great Job!
My tactic was more evasive, CHOP! LOL Of course mine were ready or just about ready to go. For plants that need to go longer your method or rather Kylester's sounds like a plan.
Glad your feeling stronger my friend, we will all try to generate some 'positive energy' your way!

yeah, we all know what ya been doing....done alot of the same...gonna do some more....working at freeing up some time to paint a little....so i want it all to slow down some for a while....
somewhere in there, it does become break time....so i do understand the time...
need to post some more pics soon, but just finished up some stuff at our place....finally....so know how ya feel....i would just harvest it if its got amber at all unless you really want the bubba to honey out...and it will...give it a little heat and keep dry, it will mold...cut back on the water....alot...i usually have to really watch her about now....
i got a haw. snow that is ready....not supposed to be for a while yet, but is, started really looking at her just after i watered....it is so thick with teas, it looks like a layer of oil on her...and some of its honey, so shes about as done as i want her...i guess thats what i get for thinking huh? i thot i was done for a while...but she should be ez...
see ya later...so wheres the smoke reports? we see the SMOKE CLOUD, but cant make out a report or even random letters or numbers?? ok, i'll go home...later, L

beautiful tail feather selection....i agree...mbc....
she sure did color out pretty in the great outdoors....
mine indoors usually get 1-1 1/2oz per plant dry....grown them all
diff ways and the results are the same....same as the l.a.c., only
so much and thats it.....planned in the plant i think....now, with that
said, im not sure i like how they are starting to mainipulate
the genetics on some plants, and i know they are....randomness in
the wild is what keeps it viable....the ability to adapt....but when
you can see rooms full of the same plant....what happened to the
diversity and survival instinct....just a passing thought....i guess its
good for commercial growers tho....hugs, L

Thanks G I love that pic! Just a bud that I had just removed the fans from. I was inspecting it for the PM and saw those remarkable colors arrayed underneath. Held the bud in my hand with the top facing away from me and with the flash set 'on' took the close up. I did crop the original down to what you see. Oh ya! No PM on that one!
I'll get between 2.4 to 3 ounces off her by the time she's well into her cure. If I cheat and leave the main colas intact (leave the buds on the stem) I'll get the 3oz, if I 'bud it out' I'll end up with perhaps 2.5 or so.
Of course I don't have nearly the experience as you and others have of growing a 'certain' strain. Though with the NL#5 that I bought (seeds) all seemed to be different, very different in shape, smell, taste and unfortunately (Fat Leaf) not always potent! It would be nice to know that what your growing should turn out a certain way. It seems to me that most of you that grow with 'bought' seeds of a certain strain, get very consistent results. Perhaps differing only when bought from different breeders.

nah,
youre selling yourself short....you got lots of exp....ive never fought the borer worms, thank goodness....if i had to dig out a maggot like thing, they could have had the plant if i couldnt nuke it....im not that patient....or gutsy, not that way....i draw the line at worm type things....got a set of encyclopedias from a lady one time, in her garage...didnt know the bottom of
the box was wet....hauled them into kitchen to dust them off....went in a few minutes later to clean them after i cleaned off shelf for them, and had maggots all over the floor....about had a fit....kid wasnt home to help, so i had to face those crawly things alone....poor baby....but they were in the books....so as much as i wanted those encyclopedias, the whole box and books and all went into garbage bag, into cans....just awful....still have nightmares about it....will not touch a wet book....ugh...my great grandma used to put them in peeps infected sores and wounds, and no one cared...but it gave me the willies....but i bet if i had an infected wound and no dr. i could do it....i know it worked...i saw it....hugs, L
you fought alot of major battles to grow those babies....very happy for you...great job...L

Whats up brother? By the time I get e-mail notifications your journal is 10 pages longer
I can remember the first days here and how far you have come as a grower and member of Our 420Mag Family. Maybe sometime we can catch up and have some coffe and smoke some full melt bubble hash from the Bubba Kush. I am buying new bags this week and would be happy to help a brother out making some.hehehe
Hey Lav I have seen people use maggots to fight off infections in open wounds also it is unbelievable!! I also was a Commercial Fisherman/Lobsterman out of Galilee RI and maggots were a regular occurence with the lobster baits. We used to string together dead skates, porgies, flounder skeletons, etc for bait. If not for the $$$ back then in Commercial Fishing I would never have gone near the smelly nasty bastards. God Bless on the kitchen clean up you are a trooper bugs freak me out.

Hey Woods,
How is life treating you? I hope well. I read this epic(for the most part). You should publish it!
On a side note. Everything looks great. The color really is beautiful. I think that I might drop my temps in the room to see if I can get some color like that to come out in some of my girls.
Keep it up brother.

'Ya gotta wonder where the heck that book was settin to have'em maggots crawlin in'er?'
Funny, I have no problem using meal worms (look like maggots) for fishing (pan fish) and I had no trouble handling the boring bastards, but I can't stand maggots. Something about them crawling around in dead bodies that does not appeal to me. I will not eat anything from the spot on my plate where a fly has landed. I think it is one of the first things I ever learned (from my mother). who knows? Perhaps my mom saw me eating flies that landed in my Gerber's applesauce while perched on the highchair! LOL

Thank you my friend, I always think of you an Mountain when I think I may of done a good job with a photo!
I've been making a very 'unconscious' effort to visit with you all at your threads, please except my apologies for what they are..............excuses for being LAZY! The fact that you all still visit me only strengthens my resolve to ..... make less lame excuses!
Also! I'll be posting final weights and smoke reports soon, very soon!
What the heck, I'll give this one to ya now. I'll post plant by plant weights later with smoke reports to follow.
Total dry weight is........... 28 ounces. (rounded up from .....27.8 .. I think?).
I'd of had 2+ Lbs if it weren't for the stem borers and to a much lesser degree the PM. I'm happy though (ecstatic actually) with what I got! I knew that the borers would come, they do almost every grow season, I just never had so many plants growing at the same time. It's much easier to deal with them when ya got a couple of plants growing.

Almost time to rest my friend. You had a long stressful, but successful season. That is a lot better than a good many of us. You kept it together when the bullets were flying and showed a lot of heart. The kind of thing you expect from the October Member of the Month. I cannot even tell you what happened to me lol. Water under the bridge.

Howdy G. Appreciate the very kind words my friend though I was MOM in March of this year and plant of the month in Oct. The way it looks under my name though looks like I'm Oct MOM.
Well I've got a problem now (so much for the great job), Forget why I looked at my Bagweed 1A with the scope, but what I saw there was depressing to say the least! Pretty sure I saw mold spores or whatever they're called. The look like this: Very similar to a trichome except the stalk is hair thin and instead of the round smooth surfaced 'gland' of a trich, I've got a 'very' white 'fuzz ball' at the end of the stalk. Many of them! You can actually see them with the naked eye when you shine a light on the bud. Not sure what mold it is but since I had some PM on the runt and a tiny bit on the BK, I'd think it was that that I saw. Two jars of 1A and a few buds from a jar of #2 (pink) where removed and placed in sealed boxes. I went through the third jar of 1A and that one was OK (at least I've got one good jar of 1A). I checked a second jar of #2 and that seemed good also. I've labeled the 'good' jars with an 'OK' on top so I know which ones I've checked. I gave up this morning as I was falling asleep doing it. I'll check every jar I've got starting when I get up and will seperate any 'infected' buds from the rest. I sure hope this is an isolated incident, but I won't be sure till they're all checked. I check both by eye balling the buds then using the radio shack scope to 'delve' deeper. If anyone can ID what it is I've got, please let me know. Again, hair thin stalk with a fuzzy white roundish 'head' Definitely not a trichome as these guys are very white and fuzzy. Tried ID'ing them using the internet but found only similar molds.
I'm praying that I don't lose much more, though law of averages seems to be 'not in my favor'! I've taken all my more recent stuff (in the jars) and opened their lids to get air over night. Perhaps I did not dry the stuff out enough before placing it in the jars. I burp them every day for up to two weeks before closing them up to finish curing. 1A was already in that 'later stage'. Lucky I checked!

Hey buddy welcome to my world. Maybe I'm paranoid but once I really start looking it's not that hard to find mold. Maybe all grows have some but since most aren't that worried it goes undetected?
I would think as the buds dry it gets more and more under control?
Anyhow if I see bud rot, lots of mold etc the buds got pitched. Stuff near that that looked ok, and anything that I later detected in the jars with mold (I check really closely every 2 days or so) gets watercured. It's a very clean smoke and more concentrated that regularly cured smoke.
I've had to water cure quite a bit of my buds, probably around half. The good news is that it works great and I've seen zero evidence of mold once completed, and I've smoked a bunch of it with no problems.
Now maybe some spores are still present but I'm not very sensitive to it? I have no idea but it's something to keep in mind.
It's very simple. I take the mason jars I cure in, fill them with the suspect bud without packing it in, and then fill that with the purest water you can find, I use distilled.
If you can visualize this I take a plastic cover that goes on a coffee can, cut it down to size and drill a zillion small holes in this. Some kind of screening/netting would work as well. You need to design something that allows the water to breathe but also keeps the buds totally submerged, since they'll want to float.
Store them in a dark space, room temp. Every day pour out and replace the water. At first it looks like fermenting beer.... as time goes on it gets cleaner and cleaner. 5-8 days of this will pretty much suck out all impurities and kill anything. So when the runoff is nice and clean, you're basically done. Pour out the water, put the buds out to dry on a screen or cardboard or whatever... I've even put it in the oven on warm for a few hours.
The point is that the curing is over, there's no need to dry slowly you'll just invite more mold. Let it dry as quickly as you can, you can put it back in jars when it's still a little moist and go on as before.
Good luck buddy.

Howdy Blue, thanks for explaining your water cure to me. Yesterday I searched the internet concerning my dilemma and though I didn't get the answer as to what I've got, I did see that different variations of water curing were mentioned as a way to 'salvage' some of the product. There was the suggestion of using (along with good water/distilled) hydrogen peroxide and or baking soda. Anyone familiar with this?
Woodsman said:
I have heard of that. Not sure of what the ratios were, and the effect of the H2O2, or baking soda. Might be best to take w/ a grain of salt for right now. I do know that a water cured smoke will be one of the smoothest that you will ever get to try! No taste or smell though!

Hello my friend, wondering how using just water can get rid of the spores? I can see how the peroxide can work, well not really, not sure of the process, but it sounds feasible compared to just water. Well I've isolated the 'infected' material in closed box and paper bag. Now to continue the job of going through every bud I have! Jar by jar. I label the top of the jar with an 'OK' once it's been 'cleared'. I wonder if all this is necessary, though now that I've seen the crap in there, I can't 'not' do it!

You know I would think that someone my age (or older) would have had to smoke a bit of mold at least a time or two. It is pretty common. I know I have smoked some nasty stuff in my day.

I don't know what happens to the spores either, but they're gone when it's finished. You won't believe all the nasty crap that gets leached out of the buds, you should do a small cure just to see that. The first 2 days the water turns a nasty brown and looks like fermenting beer, bubbles and all. Or at least mine did.

w'man,
the co-op i belong to recommends water curing for alot of thngs, while the
best is to throw mold away, this is not a perfect world, and i do not see why the water bath wouldnt destroy the mold, esp. if dried after the process....i agree with the oven....very low temp....100-150 is all, i do mine two three minutes at a time, then check to see how warm the smoke is getting....you will prevail....the ganja gods only test those who show promise....and you show alot....wow, i agree, with all the crap youve been thru....write a book..., anyway here posting a campaign propaganda message about omm...hope you dont mind....hugs, L
