atu grow # 9 (number 9, number 9, number 9...)

[Doubledealing72]

So many of us seem to be harvesting at the same time lol. Congrats! She looks like some killer smoke!

[alltatup]

I can't say enough good things about my nutrients. This is probably the largest bud I have grown so far.

(As I recall, OJH has some 4X4's at his house...if only we can catch him before he constructs his greenhouse)

Just a series of connected pulleys (block) and a rope (tackle)

[alltatup]

GreenState LurkingInTheGrass Thank you. I'm enlightened!

[Colombo]

A block is a set of pulleys or sheaves mounted on a single frame. An assembly of blocks with a rope threaded through the pulleys is called tackle. A block and tackle system amplifies the tension force in the rope to lift heavy loads. They are common on boatsand sailing ships, where tasks are often performed manually.

[Colombo]

It would be used to lift that big ass bud up, to cut it up, to smoke it up, with that chain saw LOL. Look at the picture and gently close your eyes and smile. Can you see it, Can you see yourself lifting that bud with thousands of hands applauding and "Honey wake up, wake up, there's a bud in the house" What a dream I had. YEA !

[alltatup]

Colombo Here's what I had in mind, your guy looks like he's gonna strain his back:



Many hands make light work and smoke many joints.

[oldjarhead100]

you guys have it all wrong we need to pull a cheech and chong ,put a big ass tent over it and light it up and party , we could fill bags for vaping later ,you know make a weekend out of it lol

[alltatup]

My mega bud will be gone!!!

[oldjarhead100]

To late sorry

[PaganRich]

It was Ancient Aliens Atu and the pyramids but man alive lass, that`s impressive and no doubt about that. Like a bloody torpedo......The truth is out there

[alltatup]

Pagan, dog's blood, laddie, it's good to hear your voice!!

[PaganRich]

alltatup I`m a bit like this new strain of anti-biotic gonorrhea that`s going round;- found in the most unsavory of places and periodically making an appearance

[oldjarhead100]

It was so nice out yesterday look who came out to visit

[alltatup]

That snow cleared away fast!!

[GreenState]

Amazing how quickly the weather changes anymore. One warm day and I saw a few lady bugs in the windows, pair of ducks fly by, turkeys are back up on the hill, chickadees zinging around my head,flock of robins came in , geese going by up in high altitude and a friggin monster pileated woodpecker driving me crazy,hammering away on a dead tree in my neighbors yard(lol)

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Noticed robin's thursday 😁

It was 10C last night - really knocked the snow down, hopefully it goes close to, or below zero tonight (to allow runoff, decrease flooding)

[GreenState]

Walked over to see how my woodpecker buddy was coming along, not bad for a few days work! He could actually be the solution to alltatup 's big bud problem(g)

[alltatup]

GreenState That's a beautiful picture. I've got woodpeckers where I live, and I love the sound they make building a home. I can also hear the owls hooting when I wake up early. Gotta love birds.

The bud's been smoked. Couple of homies came over yesterday and we had a smokeout in the dungeon with the mary jane.

we were camping one time and a woodpecker started pecking a metal sign lol so we had music in the woods

That's all she wrote...

All plants have been harvested and dried, and are now curing happily in jars. I really screwed up my weight calculations, and I also put two strains in the same jar, which I then had to separate out; I might have been vaping a little bit, I don't remember. So I have no concrete final tally, but I think my total was around 13-14 oz., which is my best so far. Here were some of the buds drying:



And I am decarbing all the sugar leaves and larfy buds to make concentrate: before and after decarb:

Then into the freezer it will go to get it nice and cold before I pour in the Everclear--which is already freezing.

Grow #10 began today with 8 seeds germinating away, water and H202 cleaning out both systems, and I'm in the process of changing out the old HID ballast for the new LED ballast.

I sure learned a lot from my mistakes. TONS. I have to train enough to keep the height of my plants under control, but not so much that they don't get tall enough to grow into the light sweet spot. I have to defoliate, but not overdo it and stunt growth. I have to keep using the same nutes which were great. And right now, I have to grind and vape this Jack Herer bud which is calling my name...

[alltatup]

oldjarhead100 I decarb the trim; otherwise, why bother? ;-}

[oldjarhead100]

when I make my oil it is in a rice cooker for many hours I thought this would decarb the weed

[alltatup]

oldjarhead100 It depends at what temp. it is. It can sit there for hours, but if it's not the right temp, you won't achieve full decarb.

"...my best so far"

booyah baby 👍

and, on only 7 plants next grow you will be POUNDING (see what I did there 😁) out the meds

[alltatup]

Yes, indeedy I see your witty double entendre!! I am dreaming of 4 oz. per plant equals 16 oz. per box equals 2 pounds!!!!! Then I could buy me a Mazzi...
