There are several strains that smell like Hay, it's a specific Terpene that causes it.
The thing is it smelled like super dank until I dried it. You could smell it trying to come back while I was curing it but my wife don’t give a fuck and kept opening the jar to smoke and would leave the lid off till I can home from work so I gave up on the cure. The bubble is great. I will probably make a lot of this tent into bubble. Going to clean the fridge up if nothing else I may use it for cultures. I think my mush break is about over. Time to streak a plate or 10.
Whoops forgot to add the pic.

Enjoil said: I’ve been thinking about how to suck the water out of the 25micron bag quickly. I think it needs a shop-vac attached to the bottom bucket or I’m picturing something that looks like the plunger on a syringe… gravity isn’t working very well. Maybe centrifical force? Spin the water out? Lol.
I can see something like that helping a lot with the 25 bag.
The two times I used the 25 bag I hung it up and let gravity do the work, but I would periodically give the bag a shaking with an up & down motion and a bit of a side to side motion here & there to speed things up.
IME though, the 25 bag doesn't really end up with any "hash" in it and what it does catch I have no interest in smoking or eating.
I do catch a decent amount of material in the 25bag, but it doesn't contain actual full intact trichome heads/resin...IME the 25 bag is mostly "muck", like a really fine silt/dirt. It is likely composed mostly of trichome stalks, dust, and a bunch of the teeny tiny hairs that cannabis has across its stems/stalks and leaves. All of the trichome heads end up in the 45 to 120. Some strains might produce extremely small trichome heads, but I feel majority of plants produce trichomes heads larger than 45microns.
The two times I drained the 25 bag completely and collected the material from it...It had no resin/oil content, it wouldn't even press/hold together and didn't have any oily/greasy feeling between the fingers (while my primo hash is so oily it basically melts/dissolves into itself just sitting at room temp). I had zero interest in the stuff and tossed it.
I feel using the 25 bag is a waste of time/energy.
Quote:
A.k.a said: Lol glad it’s not just me having these problems.
The last few I started pinching the middle of the bag and pulling it down. It helped drain quicker and made the hash pile up more. I learned a lot about how to use the spray bottle to pile it all up too, ended up half soaked by the end.
I threw the ounce and half or so of double chocolate I already washed once in there along with maybe 5-7g of lcxcn. The finer stuff is crazy, like a paste but also so close to a liquid.

Yeah when I read about the best hash coming from different bags depending on the plant I decided to get them all. Even this run there was a series where I had a big glob then the next bag very little, then the next one another big glob.
Just took down the final double chocolate.
Looks like a decent yield for a bit less than 2 ounces of flower. TBH I would have expected a bit more, but hard telling how much is actually there.
How long did you wash for? What size bags did you end up using?
A spray bottle of ice water helps a lot to collect the hash inside the bags into a pile for easy scooping. I use a hose, do the same thing tho. Another thing I do that helps collect the hash into a pile/wad as well as get rid of excess water, once the water has drained through a bag and it's mostly soaking wet trichomes in the bottom of the bag, I hold the bags at their top/opening and spin the bags around in the air somewhat quickly in big circles. The spinning gets rid of a lot of the water and also helps the hash to collect into a single mass/pile/wad that one can almost just gently grab with their hands instead of using a spoon to scoop.
I usually end up a bit soaked too after hash making lol...It's definitely an outdoor activity for me, the cold air outdoors during the fall/winter right after harvest season is perfect for hash making too.
That double chocolate looks killer . I think I've asked before, but does it have a chocolate aroma/flavor at all?

Here they are today.

Biggest plants I've grown I think. Only 5 plants in a 4x4. I normally have more. I cant wait to see week 10. I'm in week 4 flower I think.
They sure look happy. Can’t wait till get this all sorted out. Mine are def looking burnt a bit. I have flushed again today and raised the lights up 7inches and lowered the temp By 2 degrees. Hopefully they will stop looking stressed as I am seeing the first signs of flower. I may have to cut my homemade super soil with some more coir and perlite next time.

You should give the old lady a jar of nuggets that’s ready to smoke, or of course she’s going to keep opening the jar up. Lol.
I got big ass glass containers I can stick chunks of plants in while the nuggets are on the stem. Then it gets manicured and put in smaller jars to finish curing.

I don’t have a measuring tape handy although I looked really hard. But my guess is they were about 16 inches from the light and now I’ve moved them 24 inches from the light. They don’t all look light/heat stressed but one of them did so I was worried they are all feeling it. I have the light on 24/7 to keep temps up. I had temps at 79 Fahrenheit and just dropped it to 77. There is a small fan and a small HEPA filter blowing in the tent at all times. And then the 8 inch in-line filter cuts on anytime it gets above 77. All my ports are filled with poly to help keep junk out of the tent. And it’s impossible to tell from these pictures because the light is so bright that pictures look like shit but they are definitely dark green and leathery. And as you can see some are still clawing.

I think that closeup might be the sludge you mentioned. I was amazed at the consistency coming out of the bag. Almost between liquid and solid. Haven’t tried it yet though.
That was run through the whole set of 7 bags or however many. Stirred it up for like 20 mins with a few breaks. The majority of it was run on a dry sift screen and then put through the bags the other day. I haven’t really tried multiple washes yet but I’m assuming it was mainly from the lcxcn I added.
The double chocolate has a fruity spicy/fresh smell to it. Mainly pineapple to me.
I pulled another Laos sample off, it’s been 25 days so hopefully it’s mellowed out some. This bit definitely looks more mature to me. And c99 starting to swell and turn pistils.
The Laos trichomes are weird. Bud is usually just sticky but this stuff is very oily just from touching it. I can see it shining on my finger when I touch a bud. I’m assuming it’s got terpenes that melt at low temps, although it could be a different type of trichome that bursts easier or something.

Just realized I’ve got 5 types of buds drying and 10 growing altogether counting seedlings. Getting that variety

I've been planning on getting into this hobby for a bit. I'm planning on doing autoflowering, with a hydroponic grow. I'm designing the grow room currently.
I'm planning on a 3dx5wx6h area for 4 plants. Right now I have a 90w LED UFO light that was given to me. I have some other smaller lights that with the UFO I think would be enough for the area to start.
Is there anywhere I can peruse with as good of info for that as here for mycology? I've got some old videos before autoflowering was a thing..
Do we have a good vendor for seeds? It seemed like the only one I found was in Spain. I didn't want to order out of country. I have an idea of where I want to get them, but don't want to mention bc I don't think I'm supposed to.

growweedeasy dot com and they have a growweedeasy forum but its different from the grow site that is all tutorials and search bar and all the info. they have all kinds of growing help and info. the forums are ok. i like it here better. we all good in here i think. there are enough of us on shroomery and specifically this thread to help you thru any problems or questions you may have. got some VET growers here (not me, im only had green thumb few years now)
also, my tatooine donut pollen (the chunky clumpy looking kind) took to the pistils on the LCxCN and wedding cheesecake. they changed overnight once pollinated. so its still viable. i put some on my fingers and spread it around and it seems dry just clumpy. idk,. it works tho so oh well. im keeping it separate from the other tubes of more dry normal looking pollen.
was that a picture of a mini fridge? for seed and culture storage? thats what i want one for. i run so much power tho i dont think i could run cooled storage with out blowing the breaker. i have an old house and wiring is just as old.

Yeah. I was thinking of drying bud in it when I saved it from the dumpster but it’s probably going to keep some craft beers and cultures instead. Or maybe I’ll put it on marketplace for $40. Do you guys think 24/7 under HPS is too much light for autos? I’m starting to think I’ll drop them down to 18/6 and lower the temp some more. I’m just worried about temp swings and humidity swings. It stays pretty steady in there now.

There is a QP in the top of the closet but it’s easier for her to grab the Tupperware in my sock drawer. Love is crazy. Id fight someone else for less.

I would agree maybe lower the temp a bit more, are the plants that have the leaves curling stuck in a more stagnated part of the tent less fresh air directly under the bulbs? I was thinking maybe the leaf surface temp is getting bit warm, but they are looking good! 79 seems to be pushing the upper temp range without CO2. If it’s getting that warm I would want some pretty constant fresh air they are transpiring pretty good pushing 80F, can you dial back the 8” fan to run slower but more often/constant? I would also want the fans in the tent to stir up the air you mentioned small fan in the tent, maybe give them a bit more circulation inside the tent? Giving them a break even 20/4 to let them have a cool down freshen up that space, when the lights come on they will be happy girls. I think you should be happy with your work with them power hungry swag makers!

Well shit I’ve been doing some reading and I just realized that people don’t mist plants while the lights are on cause it can burn them. I’ve been doing that so I’ll be stopping now. Got to grab a humidifier I guess.

I will snag some small clip fans off Amazon I’m looking for some clips for LST anyway. And drop the temps. If I drop it to 70 the fan will run almost constantly. I think I will have the lights go off from 11-3 everyday. That should keep the temps us little. I don’t have a heater and don’t want to bug one. Eventually this will be finished with a mini split for climate control but I think I’ll always use the tent or a tent. I really like how clean it looks on the outside and how much it keeps in the light and smell.

I doubt you need a humidifier…. Just grow more plants and get a DEhumidifier.
What are you trying to foliar feed or something?

I would shoot for 74-76 range with good air flow as possible 70 is getting bit cool. I have to run my lights on at night to combat the cold, if it’s too cold you may end up needing a heater when you flower, I do at times. I would also be surprised if you would need a humidifier especially as your plants get bigger.

Yeah rh hits single digits regularly here and when I have a decent amount of growth on my plants they’ll get the closet up to 50% on their own. Even in the 20-30%s they do fine just grow a little slower.
Also you can get a heater at Walmart for like $15 that’ll work fine. I use a couple for my plants and shrooms and they all have an auto setting so it’ll only come on when it gets too cold.

These are 18-21 days from pop,the runt decided to grow.Everything got the up pot two days ago.Have two humidifiers going and am just barely staying where I want it.Might run open sips next winter and see if we can optimize with less energy.
