I’ve been slowly acquiring cobalt coloured mason jars. They are a fair bit more expensive so I just pick up a 4 pack or two whenever I am at the hardware store. I pair them with a one piece plastic lid also made by ball (sold separately). It is dishwasher safe and won’t rust like the metal...

Not sure if anyone posted this here already. I know discussion of using weed exposed to bud rot has been polarizing in the past so I am not opening that up again, but found this article about a machine that apparently can clean weed with rot. I question whether bud quality can be maintained if...

It’s been a crazy amount of time trimming that has kept me busy. I still have some branches drying but I already have my biggest grow at 28 ounces. When all is dry and in jars I am expecting about 31 ounces of closely manicured dried bud along with about 8 or 9 ozs of trim with a high...

Just started harvesting the 2 trees I have left. I am speed harvesting because I can smell the plants 2 neighbourhoods away and I am starting to get a bit of side-eye from the neighbours. Hard to process a couple 13 ft tall plants with any kind of speed - I’ve been wondering how others can...

Hi Gang - bud washing seems to come up occasionally with interest but not sure how many others actually do it so I thought I would post a few lines on the subject and see if anybody had a better process or comments. In short, I started washing my buds as a one-time thing to get rid of some...

Starting to think about the next harvest. Dropping seeds is about 6 weeks or so off depending on how long it takes me to sanitize the man-cave for the next round after drying the outdoor crop but I am starting to think about what to grow. Just enough time to figure it out and get the order...

Spraying done. I needed a dang step ladder! There is definitely some bud growth visible now beyond pre-buds so I expect that will be the last time I can spray them before harvest. I really am ridiculously proud of the height but unless I get like 2 lbs per plant I may take steps to limit that...

Here is my biggest cannabis tree. In this pic it has just crossed 10ft. When it was small I had topped it for the first time for a manifold and then after about a week or so I accidentally snapped off one side in an awkward place and decided to let it grow natural. The broken side now is just a...

Hey gang, I’m not sure if this was previously posted but just in case. More of a PSA than a question but feel free to pitch in if you think this may or may not be the cause of the wilting problem. I’ve been seeing more and more posts from people lately about plants mysteriously wilting. I...

Any bud washers out there? I have lately taken to washing my bud, mainly for outside where there are more contaminants but I am thinking I may also do it indoors given much of what I do is edibles. I have a few thoughts/questions on which I was hoping for input. 1- if you wash what recipe do...

Not sure that I would call him a helper but this guy keeps my legs warm at night and only complains when he doesn’t get walked 60 or 80 times a day. Below that are my other helpers this summer, the bunnies from the newsletter last week that I found in the plant pot just outside my back door.

The two washes after evaporating under a fan and then warming them to increase liquidity One of the washes after adding alcohol The second wash after adding vegetable oil (first wash empty in background) - the larger clumps are visible The syringes of tincture

Thanks for the great input grouchyoldman and Puglover1 . That is great info! Great comment puglover about the snowbank. In winter their are plenty of days it is colder outside than in my freezer. I agree with grouchy that you should be able to decarb straight out of the freezer, although you...

Hiya gardening buddies (bud buddies?… bud buds?), ok, so not a topic about my inability to eat onions, it is a question about burping your jars. Probably stuck in my mind because of the topic in the newsletter about hay smell. I was reading in a forum topic about someone burping their jars...

The gang is below. Front right is the lopsided lady, back two are au natural and front left is the manifold.
