Choosing a rosin press

medidedicated said:

Ahhh what do I dooo?! Keep the ultra till I at least verify the porto leche dont need to cure? The kongs krush needed a two week cure or else the rosin was very green tasting.

Thats also if I get the right pheno that yields at least 20%. Should I just keep my .1 dab every hr or half dab every half hr for a while and run the leche for ages before I run it full scale?

Or I can roll the dice and grow a big plant leche and get .2 gs an hr or .1 half hr or half dab every 15mins. Thatd be livin the dream like asap in 4 months vs a year almost.

Itd roll in slowly being that tents are perpetuating at different schedules itd take too much production time to correct. So its like March that I live the dream as soon as.

Only to potentially have to harvest tents at different times for whatever reason, its not hard for it to happen. Its already amazing they finished as is. It only happens when everythings perfect.

My Porto leche was ready to press right after dry (no cure). Smelled and tasted fantastic. I think it was actually more terpy than the PL I've pressed since curing.

are you growing the Porto Leche yet?

Yea heres a pic of it now. The left one. Going to take cuttings asap and veg it out and grow a full size plant or take my time and do a mini grow tent to verify it will yield equal or greater than my current strain.

I dont know what ec it will like if I need a seperate reservoir, right now feeding 1.8-2.1 ec which .5 ec is tap. Feeding maxibloom. 1 gallon 8x a day.

I had a question but couldnt remember what it was maybe it was all the above but also, does it 2x or 3x the size at flip or more?

Idk what to do but will after the first run. Trying to grow 2.5x2.5 foot size plants 6.5 feet tall of tent space. Or a mini 1x1 foot mini plant.

Soon as I know it yields much more Im going to probably run just that. Ill have a free 3x3 tent that can always be one big plant something else for variety.

My first and only grow so far with PL was flipped 7 weeks from germination and topped once (4th node) prox two weeks before flip. They pretty much doubled in size by the end of stretch. I would say they were under 36 inches tall mature. With two plants I got around 6oz + of good rock hard buds.

Our watering styles are pretty different so I really have no advise on EC. With this grow I ran about 1.2 EC with Dyna-Gro products (tap water is about .3) but I typically water only once or twice a day with a pretty severe dry back (6x6x4 rockwool) so I am positive the ec in the rockwool gets much higher than 1.2 inside the blocks at times throughout the grow. Oh and also with a heavy flush about once a week.

here were the plants on flip day. Had to pull a herm pretty early though.



And after stretch,,,,

And for what its worth the smaller plant was a heavier yielder for its size and both plants ended up with about the same yield.

Awesome! Thanks! Inforget you do floor and drain completely different. I see you didnt get a purple pheno? I thought you did. I never grew a purp plant yet but should of by now.

The way I have things with a 3x5 veg and 3x3, two 2.5x5 flower tents all on different schedules would set me back unnecissarily for too long to correct.

But now the porto leche would have to be rolled in slowly that Im bound to run both at once anyway. So theres that. I was thinking high risk high reward just jump in and grow two full size porto in one of the 2.5x5’s.

Thatll be November I think last I checked.

They definitely both went purple.

iight I know what Im gonna do.

Im a guy who likes peace of mind or I cant function. I like to play things safe. Im going to grow all WU and flip one PL in november, just one plant.

Even if it yields ziltch I have what I need and then some. Enough to stay away from store which is one of the goals.

Once you get a taste of that 2$ a gram its hard to pay 12 again. It just would get on my nerves. Let alone for a long period of time because shit can go downhill.

Im very familiar with my WU but soon as that 2.5x2.5 PL is harvested and verify it yields 5-6gs an oz flower. Il be comfortable already like I said, plus a shit ton extra rosin per day.

Now I will go all gas no brakes to grow nothing but PL. I could potentially make 3gs a days worth. My eye balls are money bags at that point.

Taking advantage of everything and applying evolved knowledge of growing I decided to do this.

I got this mini tent to test the BCK for sure but yea.. I was worried I wouldnt get the most accurate hash yield representation with ill lighting.

Maybe this WU knowing its average I can see and apply that consideration to whatever strain I test in there.

It would take too long to test the PL in here only to possibly get misleading results. My WU is a 10 wk pheno and this is looking like an 11 wk run.

Running the plant like I would normally with no risk of loss sounded like a good deal.

Yea after looking at everything th seeds has they actually have a lot of hash strains.

Bubble and “all types of extraction” and after looking at pretty much everything, the banana candy krush has the highest yield rosin per description.

They dont tend to exaggerate either. I feel like I can accurately read a general description and getting a feel for the words they use. How they describe it in general.

The BCK says double than usual hash output with any method. This one may be pretty damn good too. Just waiting to see pistols, then clone and flip in mini tent.

So I will probably be checking them both out on the rosin press around the same time.

Whats worrying though is it seems like theres a sweet spot in ec to feed my current strain, hope others play nice same reservoir.

Though trying to plan out enough space to have seperate reservoir anyway. I have a strong urge for variety already.

Damn it usually took me a year to get bored of a strain but something about this process and final stash.. Its weird.

Holy cow did some planning ahead itll be mid Jan that I test it and start filling the whole garden with PL it will be like July next year that its all PL.

Thats wild. What a long process. A 3/3 and two 2.5x5’s full of PL. 4 months away from having a little more rosin than needed otherwords somewhat comfortable.

Need to try to make my stash last till then, should be able to. I was wondering how as Im upgrading and losing 3 wks flower production time but I guess I cut back easier than thought it would be.

It will be late May early July And end of July that I start getting hash rich harvesting full tents of PL.

Some pruning of the future/past. Gnats love this freakin cabinet, ugh.

Alright so change a planz. Im having such a good run with this mini tent luckly with a clone I already know well. Its good enough to test a clone of each strain and get a general idea.

Then go full blast look for the nearest harvest coming up and take cuts of desired new strain. Then repeat until all tents are said strain.

So instead of my last plan I could be hash rich by mid Feb instead of last day of may, July pretty much. I could test as soon as Nov 21 and start switching strains in tents as soon as Dec 7.

The harvest time so far is accurate in mini tent, im just gonna hand trim and press as less tampered as possible. If my average is popping up in mini tent results too then Im golden.

This isnt too hard my brain crashed only a few times instead of many. Im getting faster at planning things out. I started out doing so poor at this perpetual planning at first.

Banana Candy Krush pistols drawn! Pow pow!

Not gonna lie just realize ld that PL looks small for 7 wks veg ohhh I knew I was trying to realize something else too. 2 wks for seeds clones to get going so thats really like 5 wks veg.

Awesome! I was just already planning for sure to take cuts two wks before chop vs at chop. So yea this will work lol.

Now when is this PL going to sex! I see little things in the node pockets but not like the BCK I noticed yesterday ugh come on!

Wow this BCK is banana og x banana cake the banana cake is banana og x wedding cake. So its gonna be super nanna’s lmao and then the zesty olive mild kushy gas cream of the wedding cake its gonna be a terpster. Of many bananas.

I thought it was describing kongs krush which has banana og, wedding cake in it. No wonder I thought its describing what I already have! But without some of the fruits.

So Im guessing its gonna be a banana cinimon with a cream gas funk with zest. Not so much other fruits.

PL is a male. Set my plans back 9 wks.

Greatful I at least have one female that could substitute that might give me better yields. If my mothers have fusarium or couple other things Im screwed before I started already.

Lets hope its just a locolized thing and not on my mothers yet or even my next round of clones.
