Just got my ozone generator mate, 140 quid delivered so not to bad. I phoned the guy i got it off and he said not to adjust it as people who have been cranking it right up have been burning them out. I have all doors and windows of grow room open and im giving it a blast now. It is ok to use with the door open isnt it mate as you said i need plenty of air flow.

Some of ahe trichs are finally going orange So hopefully a week on saturday at the latest ill be able to crop

 

[BudBaby]

Mate i think my plantsmay have hermied, i thought the growth looked a bit weird but i just figured they were big buds, i told a good trusted friend and he spotted what he though may have been seeds. I broke a little tiny bit of bud off where he thought there was a seed. I crushed it in my fingers and it doesnt smell like bud it just smells fresh like a seed would and i looked at it under the microscope and i think its a very fresh soft green seed casing

Not sure what to do as i was gonna crop them a week on saturday, i may do it early i dont know. If there is a problem its the runt plant as there is hardly any bud on it and it just doesnt look right, i cant see any seeds on it though.

If only i had a camera!!!!

Ive just been watching a video abouthermies and the guy said if the buds foxtail thats a sign of stress, mine have mega foxtailed and they have been like that for weeks.Im gonna have a good check on them tomorrow and i think ill remove the runt fucked up plant. Looks like one of the buds is dying on it anyway

Its best to use it with all the windows and doors shut in the room yours cab/s are in then once the smell has gone.. quickly enter the room... open the windows and then air out the room & rest of the house as normal.. you can put the O-Zone generator on a timer and then just air out the room/house when you feel like it but remember to air out the room every 3-4 hours at least (whilst its working).. then you should have no probs and no smell - STELTHY

If there is a chance that plant is either a Hermie or Male remove it at once..other wise it could 'turn' your other Ladies.. remove it with super care and dont shake the plant/s at all.. you could still make a small batch of Hash with it though! - STELTHY

You can still smoke fox-tailed bud.. it looks weird (kinda platted) but tastes and hits just fine alternativly use it for Hash Making.... Making Hash is both fun and rewarding and pretty simple to do ! But the main thing to do is get rid of Herm/Male plants asap!

Sorry its been a while since I have messaged back... I have been in hospital with a broken wrist.. I fell off my longboard and snapped it but using my computer is good excercise for my fingers etc.. so I will be on RIU alot more often now lol - STELTHY

I think the main hermied plant is my best plant I took a small popcorn bud last night to test in a minute, i looked at it this morning and its def got a very small seed in it

I think i may just leave them all for now and crop on Tuesday as there 13 weeks in flower today so cant be far off. I think the big plannt hermied through stress of the ph keep dropping. Im flushing it at the moment and its still dropping!!! I cant do alot till tomorrow though as ive done my back in big time so need to wait for help off the breadknife tomorrow

To be fair im a little pissed off about it but its my first grow and thinking back now i had the light timer on wrong for the first 2 weeks plus all the root damage. Ill hope there is just a few seeds in it i can pick out. Also they look very young seeds so im hoping it only just hermied so shouldnt be to bad.

I like the idea of the hash but i just cant afford the bubble bags at the moment, the ozone generator used up the last of my spare cash.

 

[BudBaby]

Just checked the trichs and a fair few are amber now so i think tuesday will be a good time to crop.

What sort of temp/humidity do you suggest drying at mate? Im in no rush doing it to be honest i just want the properly dried.

Yeah if you leave them this time, you should be ok.. you may have to pick the seeds out before you smoke it but I've been there before and its not so bad Yeah the O-Zone generator was expensive but at least you have it now I'll post you a link of the 'Pollenator' Hash making machine that I use,,, its perfect for making hash and litterally takes less than 20 mins to do..

Also save ALL of your trim etc minus the twigs n branches etc etc.. You can put the trim in gypo Asda bags and freeze them until you want to make the hash !! - STELTHY

The key to drying is 'Do it as slowly as possible' set then fan real low.. and try and keep to room temp so... Approx. 22oC - 26oC dry for 4 days to a week, then jar the buds up and begin the cure.. I'll track down some helpful vids and post em' for ya shortly - STELTHY

[BudBaby]

Cheers for all that dude and thanks for all your help in getting me this far i really appreciate it.

I have finally managed to get a few pics. Do you still think ill get 3oz+ off the main front right plant? Colas are looking big and fat on those now and there hard

As you can see i have mega fixtailing on all buds, not sure if this is bad or not as different people say different things about it.

Hi dude, No probs man! its kinda hard to tell what weight you'll pull but it looks like you will still have a nice quantity of bud when you have Harvested.. foxtailed buds do shrink a fair bit but providing you dry them all evenly and very slowly over a week or 2 and cure them as shown in the vids.. you should still have a batch of nice flavorsome buds.. only time will tell when it comes to dry weight though!

How long until you chop 'em now ??

I was going to saywould you be interested in installing a UV-B setup in your flowering cab ? this if used correctly will make your plants OD on THC output I am doing that just now... check out my thread as I've gone into some detail on this - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

Im gonna chop them tomorrow mate, i think im gonna get me a bubble hash machine Is it the bubbletaor you use mate?

Im gonna crop them 1 branch at a time and trim them keep the main branches together for the first few days hopefully making the drying process slower.

That lamp sounds interesting. it would mean though i would have to grow all the same strain so they finish at the same time. Ill take a look at your thread mate.

I think next grow im gonna try some calli connection larry og kush and another 8 week strain, not sure which one yet though. Id love to try there bubba kush but i dont thin its a good yeilder.

 

[BudBaby]

Do I have to dry the trim before I freeze it mate? I also take it I only keep the leaves with frosting on them?

Before you cut them here's a LINK to FDD2BLK's thread.. he will be able to tell you 100% for sure if your plants are ready yet! :-

I think the Hash-Machine was called either a Bubbleton, Bubbleator, or Pollenator.. I got it off E-Bay for around £120.. I'll take a look n see if I can find one for ya ..

Yeah UV-B is defo worth looking into!! Kush is getting great reviews everywhere.. I tried some great stuff yesterday.. it was either Lemon Skunk, or Lemon Haze... but man it was well tasty and so so potent.. it made for a real tasty euphoric night-cap from what I can make out most Kush appears to be quite small as far as yields go.. but I may be wrong?!! But its defo worth growing some as the stuffs really tasty

Nah man, you can just trim the plant, and put the trim straight into a carrier bag and freeze it.. no need to dry it etc.. the Ice will help the THC glands separate from the leaves too so extracting the goodness will be even easier

You can go to Wilkinsons/ local beer/cider brewing shops to get the above buckets to drain your THC juice in..

The above Hash was collected from just 2 plants, so you should get at least double what I made, you can either make several different grades or you can use a high grade ie 220 mc as your bag to remove all the crap... and then just use a 38 or 20 micron bag to catch all the good stuff.. personal choice really Hope that helps! I look forward to seeing some of you Harvest pics

You can use every single green leaf on your plants .. (No waste) this is great for 2 reasons.. (1) More THC = more Hash! and (2) When you come to dispose of the sludgey after math alot of the smell will be gone too! So getting rid of the leftover material is easier.. You can also use the branches/stems to but be sure to cut them down real small so they wont tear the Micron Bags

Heres a great video on how to make Hash with the Legendary Jorge Cervantes:-

Hope that helps dude - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

Thanks for that mate i appreciate it. I think the macine itself just comes with a 220 bag for the crap and a 70 for the hash so ill get a 38 aswell then ill just mix the 2 together or can i do it all with the 38?

Harvest went ok, took about 5 hours!!! Runt plant at the back smelled funny and some of it was rotted, i should never have put it at the back as i could really see it or get to it. The other plant at the back hermied, it seemed like it had some seeds sacks but they were made of bud if that makes sense. The front 2 seemed ok though, some of the lower growth was a bit hermie but still smokeable. I rekon ive got 6oz and i rekon i got 3-4 off the main bog plant. Anyway i have about 800g of trim, some of it is stalks though so do i have to remove them or can i just bung it all in the machine?

I have just transfered the other 4 ladies onto flower, not sure what CANNA are doing as they have changed there grow guide now and tell you to add veg nuites for 3 weeks of flower? I have just gone straight to the stage with flowering nuites though so i hope its ok. I have high hopes for these ladies as they are about 30" tall already for the 2 haze plants and the indica are about 25" and 20".

Im going tom order some more seeds now, they have reserva privada og kush 18 in stock so im getting 3 of those and not sure what else im getting yet.

 

[BudBaby]

Just ordered my machine £155 and that includes a 220 bag for the machine, a 220 bag for all the crap and a 70 and 38 crystal bag. That will do me ill just mix them all up anyway
