      oldjarhead100 flattery gets you everywhere🤗 hope your TG🦃🍁was/is wonderful. Pretty quiet In the hood.

    Hi Folks: here is my wrap on the last grow; into the dry-start cure off the drying net in and out of jars game til I hit at most 64 humidity. Then I can start the burp. These restaurant trays ( grey things) were a sound investment. Purple Wizard was my favorite- 2 plants of her with nice firm buds and beautiful color. Goblin Punch -4 plants...2 firm 2 larfy (🤨) but all are sugared. Magic Cake 1 plant great color, some density...wish for more dense always but not really sure yet that the looser weave won’t be effective also? Anyone want to through up some opinion on that?
    Put NEW seed today: by the_honeystics...
    Wolfrain ( unreleased), Merlin’s ride, Purple Wizard (again) , Doublecookie x Wizard Punch (black leaf) and threw in Jock Horror and Jack herer as back up).
    waiting for butter to soften to do a double batch of cookies and Friday will do an hour long in and out trip for dry ice and make dry ice hash/Kief which I absolutely (fuckinghatewithapassion) doing BUT I love the product and makes fabulous use of all larf and scrap that I can add to the bud butter..
    finally...mid December I’m packing up my dogs and heading inland to stay with my friends Tom & Jeremy -away from lights, fans, botanical obsessions, and get chocolates on my pillow. The drive is empty other than a lot of Naples yellow (which I like)-a dangerous drive because of morons but beautiful just the same. Looking forward to it, hope it doesn’t storm, as I can never leave during flower.
    So..there ya are- a Tika blab.
    i hope to bring in the new year getting reconnected with you- homework for me to work the new topics, journals etc.
    sending warm hugs always

      So can I get some recipes? At least for butter? I need a really good one. Thanks!

      Juicyj89 sure! Process is simple- recipe still very basic.
      My cookies are strong & simple in ingredient. I usually recommend no more than 1/2 cookie or a quarter of a small cookie.
      I use the Costco Kirkland crock pot.
      2 oz bud/trim and Kief ( added in the last heating).
      Melt down 1 lb unsaltedbutter ( no water) on LOW
      Semi melted add 3/4ths product ( no Kief yet) poke jab with a wooden spatula
      Once combined set to low til there is slight bubbling on edge of crock.
      Turn it off & put the lid on and rest it.
      Half hour later set to WARM....repeat above.
      Point is not too hot too long...better short sets. Mixture gets thick.
      Age another cure of unsalted butter( into 2nd pound) set on low- stab & poke til melted and wait for edge sizzle then cover & turn off.
      This process takes on and off for two days more or less. Don’t cook at night- let it get hard and set to low the next morning- once liquid again add more product. Repeat...
      Do not let it boil! Small simmer on edges then off and cover.
      Last heat add Kief/ dry ice hash for last sizzle.
      Cool so you can handle - strain with double layer cheese cloth several editions and squeeze the piss out of it into a 4 cup measuring cup.
      Put in fridge to harden.
      Sounds complicated but just a slow, simple process, not over decarbing trichomes.
      Need about 2 packs cheese cloth and a strainer that will fit your 4 cup .
      If you are still interested I will search my images and then send you simple recipe .
      Have to head to work.

      Lol hey thanks again. That’s awesome. Much love.

    Very nice Tika. That is the frostiest bud I've seen after being cut. At least in a good long time. What was that strain again? The one of the close up of the buds. That is really nice.

      oldjarhead100 🤣😂😆ya know at some point every night I have the same grow related dream. I can’t describe it other than an angst in weights, position & measures. I would rather a fist full of seeds. The others have to do with cleaning accompanied by what ever I was streaming.
      Your dreams are healthy😘🤓😘

    Tools for the above butter instructions for Juicyj89 and anyone else🤗 I don’t use the butter machines...I like slow strong brew

      Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    Frown face cause my shake buddy & sommelier is moving to Denver Co. very happy for him indeed BUT I had to shake all alone. 220 micron, 15 lbs dry ice, 3 sets of Purple Wizard, Magic Cake & Goblin Punch. Pollen pressing gifts the rest to cookie butter.
    I keep forgetting how much after the harvest work there is to do....like child birth...WHY do it again and again?
    So cure is in place, Kief done, tomorrow mop bitch AND my germination is rearing their mighty heads three days later.
    more to come
    warm peaceful hugs to you all

      Holy smoke, I saved my trimmings from my grow with plans of trying this. It looked like a lot of work when I read about it, is it a big of a PIA on a smaller scale?
      And how do you get on your gift list? (Asking for a friend) :-)

      Actually it’s pretty simple as Sirius demonstrates. I use only 1 or 2 of the harvester edge bags. My PITA is having to drive an hour round trip for my dry ice. If you have some frosty product I say well worth it. Like oldjarhead100 says..if you have accumulated ( and I am currently freezing my stuff in heavy paper bag) it is worth it. Just store your Kief in a glass container in freezer afterwards. And besides...in doing the process one gains respect for their sugarleaves...or anything with bling. Best fun is to trade off shake and scrape with a fellow grower . Make sure you have a good platform to shake over and know that the Kief will get on your pants and shoes and floor unless you attempt to shake into a nice big clean white bucket. Also you can buy a single harvesters edge bag...don’t need the whole set.
      Have you watched the GWE video?
      LOL you’ll have to PM me about gifting...🤓🤗😎

      OMG_ first I thought you said you had sifted 15lbs of buds! Still it must have been a long sift session...long seasons like that with lots of dry ice tend to catch up with me the day after and then....well just need to take a few good hits of my hard won product!
      Sounds like you're making some of this for Holiday gifts? That is very generous of you...all the extra work_ I just get some one pint mason jars, fill with a nice selection of flower, put a ribbon on it and call it good! You rock!

    Thank you as always Canuck147

      Greetings all 😎
      last grow in the cure ( did not weigh it) and here are the new 2 week babies.
      Merlins Ride, Purple Wizard again ( note the strange first leaves in photo), Double Cookie x Wizard Punch (black leaf) was not passed to anyone else.
      and I threw in fems of Jock Horror and Jack Herer just Incase.
      i May put a few more regulars in today...just Incase although I don’t like staggering.
      The 5 unreleased Wolftrain never germinated but I was warned that might be so.
      I got a very nice compliment from Honeysticks genetics

      “This magic cake and purple wizard are so so freaking nice!!! I’d say literally some of the best flower I have seen around! If I had weight of this it would be in my top bracket... “
      and
      “And I am so so so impressed by this magic cake, I hope the ones that I have flowering right now come out that good.”

      brag🤓
      now to go rake leaves❤️🍁🍂

        I remember...last Fall or Winter?... you mentioned you were going to grow some F1's from a commercial grower from seed...looks like that has been going well for you. Congrats. I like growing those F1's too. Its really interesting to see how the different phenotypes express themselves...sometimes as different as night and day. Will the grower you're working with be distributing to dispensaries, selling seed stock or both? Those strains sound yummy!

        ZigZag good to hear from you! Yes I am still with (Instagram addy) @the_honeysticks. Located in Maine. You can direct message your question(s) to them on Instagram OR PM your q to me and I will pass it on via IG DM. They are ( as far as I can tell young, hard working & passionate people.
        I bitch, moan, gripe about the extended process of sexing regulars BUT as you indicate it is such an interesting ride! All their seeds germinate for me the way I do...and then...we move on - declaration of sex is NOT soon-male or female. One thing I’ve noticed is that the aroma is profound by week 3-5 male or female. I don’t use Terpinator any more as I enjoy the reality of their genetics. And...tho not always a big yield-a sound grow once I get the “damned bitches”.
        . And yes! Pheno different -which is interesting indeed.
        Please feel free to send me a forward or hook up with IG. On IG I am @papillonx3 and do not use my gwe family name-ever.
        A great holiday to you and yours 🤓🤗🤓

      Tika, I really enjoy your garden. You always have everything neat and organized. Just like you knew what you was doing. LOL Love the frosty buds.

        I’ll say it again good buddy...I sleep to close to chaos not to calm myself with order ( and a bit-a bit of control). We’ve been together from the start-always makes me happy to know we are still connected.
        ❄️🎉🎄🦋

      Buds look fabulous Tika - still with the regular seeds eh? Must be cool growing strains that aren't really available yet. Off to take care of my two-legged girl. The furry girl will follow.

        @mcubed476...it was a fun ride light bleach and all and @the_honeysticks appreciates my results which feels good. ..of course. As I have said...this not an easy nor economic process...sexing - BUT having done European fems from day 1- the challenge is rich with surprises. Hybrids...I have found that my “folk I gift” (older than me) are doing 59/50. Wanting a touch of sativa dominant in their diet -as stanch indica bruisers. I consider that a benefit of “crafted” bud😘
        Happy holiday and stay cozy☃️

      Tika those look amazing as usual , I love the purple buds I pulled out an auto yesterday Dark Devel and it was purple couldn't see it under leds .what a great surprise, I had a request for some limin Louie from an old friend so changed my plans a little and started a bunch of seeds got a ton of tails so I put them in root riots and they all popped ,I now have 18 limpin louies I am doing all the things jorge cervanties says to get more females . only need 4 plants so lots to choose from lol

        thanks Tika I improvised a humidity dome and have it dialed in ,Ive raised the humidity to 85 to 95% I increased N a little It gets cool at night in cellar , and set the timer to 14 hours of lights on the only thing I didn't do was decrease potassium, I have 10 or 12 plants under the dome so it should be interesting I hope your Christmas was fantastic
