Na ah, but you can imagine an older overweight man in flaming pink flamingo man panties if you want.Please go ahead and post a pic. The mods will likely give you a pass because they'll be at a complete loss for words!
I don't want!Na ah, but you can imagine an older overweight man in flaming pink flamingo man panties if you want.
Hey where were we talking about tinctures yesterday? I made some.
sounds like a solid plan, new phone nice better than a samslung for pics, so you'll only post every 25 days or thats just for the status report?Good morning all and Happy Sunday!
No pics today, just words. I hope it doesn't turn out to be too many words. This is mostly for me. I'm going to begin doing status reports on my grows every 25 days. I'll bookmark the reports so I'll have a handy way of reviewing past grows at specific points in time. After doing this for a while I'll have what I believe will be lots handy reference points.
All I have to do is remember to do the status report every 25 days!
New Trick Grow Day 25
The plants are doing fairly well. They all seem to like the swick bases. The LB & HL, on Strive nutrients, are outpacing the CL & BC that are on Grow Dots. However, the former two are exhibiting canoed leaves, likely due to either heat or light stress. My guess is heat stress. We've had an unseasonably warm spell over the past week with temps nearing 80F. Inside the tent once reached as high as 99F. I've been able to mitigate a bit by leaving the tent door open during lights on. Still, temps are hovering around the mid-80s. The heatwave is due to end today, with temps returning to the 50s. That should help.
---------------------------
The LB & HL also are showing some minor leaf-tip burn. They're probably getting a tad too much N. The Strive folks say to periodically just feed plain water when using Strive. However, they don't say how often plain-water feeds should be done. They merely say to observe the plants. Well, I'm observing. I've given them nothing but nutrient feeds since they were transplanted. I guess it's time for some plain water. Rather than let their reservoirs run dry I'll top them off with plain water. Then when that diluted feed is nearly gone, I fill the reservoirs with plain water. Then after that is gone I'll start with the Strive feed again. From this point forward, I'll do the plain-water feeds at least once a week (while, of course, observing the plants and how they react).
During this grow, I'm using the 1000 watt Phlizon FD8000 for the first time. It's a big, bright galoot but it runs quite hot. There is no way to separate the driver from the body of the light. The light (along with the weather) is definitely a culprit as relates to the hot tent. I hung the light high (2 feet above the canopy) and have been running it at 100%. This put me at around 38K LUX. I need to get better at working with my grow lights. I think I'm leaving something on the table by not doing a better job managing the amount of lights my plants receive. Hopefully, not for much longer because....
---------------------------
...On this past Thursday, my raggedy-ass IPhone 7 finally bit the dust. It will no longer send/receive calls nor text messages. (This after the selfie camera stopped working about 6 years ago and the camera display stopped rotating to horizontal about 4 years ago!) The broken selfie-cam meant that I could not use any of the light measuring apps on my phone. Well, yesterday I replaced my relic with a IPhone 14. I've downloaded the Photone app and will start messing with it today!
---------------------------
As I suspected, none of the water-level indicators on the swick bases function properly. They get stuck indicating that the reservoirs are full when they actually are not. It's not a deal breaker; one can eyeball the reservoir to see if there's water inside. I'm still going to let AC Infinity know about the issue.
----------------------------
I have not topped any of the plants yet. All I've done is remove the bottom 3 nodes from each. These plants will be a little taller than I prefer but it's my fault.
-----------------------------
My tap water comes out at a Ph of 7. I discovered that 10ml of Ph down brings a 4-gallon bucket of my tap water right to 5.8 or damn close to it!
-----------------------------
That's all I wanted to say to myself. I'll post this page and then bookmark it as "New Trick Summary D25."
Hopefully, by the time Day 50 arrives I will not have forgotten about this new initiative!
-----------------------------
Thanks for your time and have yourselves a joyous Sunday.
PEACE
That was yesterday man! It's palm trees today!I don't want!
How did the tincture turn out? Since you were sporting pink panties, do I even need to ask?
It came out really good! I just now finished doing the math. Here ya go.

As I recall, rosin is usually calculated closer to 70-80% THC since you're extracting the trichomes from the flower.
Bad timing for me Stone. I'm zooted and damn near tooted, to boot!That was yesterday man! It's palm trees today!
Check my math before believing me please.
The recipe
4 grams of rosen @ 20% thc . Decarbed for 35 minutes on a stovetop at 230 to 250F. Until it stopped bubbling. Then I added the oil 10 ml at a time stirring.
That 20% = .8 grams thc
I plugged those numbers into a dosing calculator
Ethos Cannabis | THC Tincture Dosing Calculator
Is proper tincture dosing difficult? It doesn't have to be when you use our THC tincture dosing calculator to get the most out of your cannabis! Start here.ethoscannabis.com
And used 7.5 mg for the end dose
40 ml for my oil which is fractionated coconut oil
And .8 grams for input weight
The calculator gave me .4 ml for the dose.
So I went to the drops to ml conversion place
And got 8 drops to dose 7.5 mg of thc.
I tried 5 or 6 drops 2 hours ago and had/have a good mild Zoot. My wife tried 2 drops and she was happy with that for a first try. I could double my go at it for a good Zooting. It was mild yet there. Still is. Most folks would be happy with that I think. My edible tolerance is weird. It's pleasant in my mouth as I held it as long as I could sub ling.
Don't forget to check my math before you do yours folks.
Quite a few thoughts on this SC! I talked about it here...
With the change in the weather, the tent is at 81F right now. RH is 55%. I can live with that.
Are you going to run the light at 1000 watts for the whole grow?
I doubt it Carcass.
Is 38k what the photone app says?
I think my lux meter is wonky!Is 38k what the photone app says?
The reason I ask, is at 185 watts, and 2 feet away from my light, the lux reading is 40k..
I wonder if my meter is wonky or something...
yeah kinda a dumb question, the last week has been bad for brain function, doc appointmrnt in 2 weeks if i can remember
I see the same thoughts go through our heads. 81F and 55% RH- Can't argue with that.
but their looking good all round bro 
Hmmm. That changes everything I'm almost sure. Thanks for that!!
I could have been clearer.
