Good god it's been a while!! How's everyone doing this evening/morning/afternoon, depending on your hemisphere?!?!
The garden has been working and working, and now it's the transition to HPS for warming.. We apparently skipped Autumn all together and went straight to Winter-Spring... We've had a ridiculous amount of rain this November and it was just as high in October!!!
So I decided to go a little "crazy" this Winter.. Doing a FULL room.. A couple of the plants are hybrids I accidentally made, so we shall see if they turn out well.. They are a DP CinderellaJack x Dinafem WWXXL cross, and if anything, should at least be tasty, even if they herm.. I will be watching out carefully though.. Got some MSNL GDP Autos going, some Delicious LaDivas (which up until now, out of about 15 freebies, these are the only 3 to ever sprout!!), some FB Gorilla Glues autos and some photo seeds that I'm guerilla growing.. They are some OG Kush, Amnesia OG, Pakistan Valley and something else I can't remember right now..
Now, I've been busy doing research and I'm a "science"y kind of guy, and I have carefully planned out a blast to try making shatter for the first time.. I've had almost 2lbs of trim just hanging out of about 7 different strains, so I had bought a 200g tube and will be commencing tomorrow afternoon when I wake from work tonight.. I have 7oz of assorted trim in the tray ready to rock and plenty of butane.. The vac and chamber will be in a good spot with a heating mat, and I'm hoping from 7oz, I can get at least a half ounce, if not more.. Obviously more would be better, but if I can get some nice, glassy looking concentrate, then we're on our way to the conversion!!!
I also made a big batch of coconut oil for more edibles.. Apparently, people love their edibles around here!!! Been making oatmeal raisin cookies and chocolate chip and they are flying off the shelves!!! Probably about 6 or 7 cups total of oil made from about 4oz of trim and about an ounce of sticks with calyxes still attached.. Also, about 7 strains for the "combined cannabinoid effect"
I'm about to head to work at one of the greatest jobs in the world; working with WEED!!!!
I hope no one is taking this as a gloat or as me being narcissistic/arrogant!!! I wish I could share this job with all of you because out of all of the people I work with, you guys are the ones that deserve to be working where I am!!!!!
Much love guys!!!
