MightyMoe's Secret Jungle: 8 Strains, Two Tents, Mega Crop & Vulx

2nd and 3rd tester runs.

Also, I've formulated what I think are some pretty good plans for caging the plates i have.
Lower temp, 180f.

2gs per press. Haven't weighed the rosin... and I fear its too late. Already tasting the goods

3.5-4 mins total press time. Gradual pressure working up to this poor little presses max and letting it sit until the bubbles stop, or almost stop.

Better color this time. And tastes like heaven.

@InTheShed its just a technique for folding your parchment around the puck/micron bags.

Not any type of specific product. Except parchment paper!

And I'm still working on my technique....from a-z. So I experiment a lot.

 

[MightyMoe22]

I'm getting better! Ran 5 grams of flower through the press today and got a whopping 1.1gs out! That's 22%! Woot woot.

Dang good compared to previous runs where I was squeaking out 15%

I'll get a couple pics up later

Noice!

I've been mia for about a week and a half. My dad has been in the hospital with pneumonia. He just got to come home day before yesterday after a 9 day hospital stay.

All the plants are doing great. The photo girls are stretching nicely. And the autos in the veg tent are killing it. Got a couple pics of the veg tent and autos. Ill get a few shots of the flower tent later today and throw them up.

Bruce banner auto

Cheese auto

And the derpy zkittlez, its showing a different pheno than the previous one I ran. The first one was very piney. This one is much more like the gelato I grew a little while back.

And the whole tent

 

[Backlipslide]

Damn! Hope you’re dads doing okay!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Hey @Backlipslide thanks for the well wishes. He is doing much much better now.

Few pics of the flower tent

You'll notice some white spots and speckles on all of the plants.

Last Wednesday before I left to go stay with my dad, I noticed some white powdery mildew on the gg#4.

I quickly removed all affected leaves i could find and mixed up a solution of baking soda and water at 2tbsp per gallon and sprayed all the girls in the flower tent to hopefully kill any remaining rouge mold spores.

This treatment is also what caused what little tip/spot burns you see in a couple photos.

So far it seems to have worked like a charm. Been checking very thoroughly daily and no more wpm yet.

I went and defoled all of them fairly hard too. In hopes of improving airflow and aiding in the battle against molds and mildews!!


Btw- these pics are pre-defol. Will put post defol pics later

 

[InTheShed]

I hope your dad is doing as well as your plants Moe! Good luck with the PM, and give citric acid a shot if it comes back.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Thank you @InTheShed .

Citric acid huh? What are the advantages of citric acid vs the baking soda i used vs neem vs whatever lol?

 

[MightyMoe22]

Btw used the baking soda solution simply because it was all i had right then that would help the issue. I've even heard a dilute milk mixture will work....but alas. Murphy and his law struck. I didn't even have milk on hand that day. So baking soda it was lol

 

[InTheShed]

I won't spray neem on pistils, and I have found that neem knocks back PM but doesn't kill it. I haven't tried baking soda but I remember another grower here who had to keep spraying it during flower in his tent. I've tried neem (in veg), LABS spray, milk, and H2O2 in various dilutions but nothing worked like my 1% citric acid spray.

It's just food grade citric acid at 1% (5g in 500ml distilled water) and 4 pipette drops of dish soap (scale up and down as needed). I even sprayed it on my young clones a few weeks back, and the PM hasn't been seen since. The spray did do a little damage to the leaf tips, but that's all. And I've sprayed it on full flowering plants with no damage at all.

It's saved more than one harvest for me this year.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Right on. I will definitely be getting my hands on some soon for future use! Great info. Thanks again shed!

That and I need more fans, for both tents. Ill remedy that soon.

 

[MightyMoe22]

While we are on the topic, I assume it is advised to bud wash after having used any of these?

 

[InTheShed]

I would say it's advised to bud wash after any harvest. Not only does it clean the dust, pet hair, bugs, and any foliars off the plant, but it makes the buds dry more evenly during the hang.

 

[MightyMoe22]

You wouldn't happen to have a link to a trusted bud washing tutorial would ya?

I've never done a bud washing. Pretty foreign to me. Honestly, and not that I don't belive you. But its always seemed so counter intuitive to me to dunk nugs in water

 

[InTheShed]

Silly question, of course I do! This one is the standard with lemon juice and baking soda. I use H2O2/water because I find it kills bugs better, but I grow outside.

 

[MightyMoe22]

About to go through your cloninator thread again. I'm finding myself in need in one lol

 

[InTheShed]

Loads of different ways to clone! Also, there is a method of curing buds in water, so dunking isn't so far fetched.
