My Mini doesn't have a gage, but it's designed to exert a certain amount of pressure...period. It's designed for a certain size of material to press. The larger the size of the material, the lower the effective material pressure.
I do bottle tech with the small NS bags. That keeps the material size within the design specs to give the proper effective material pressure. When I press hash, I fold the bag to be within those design specs.

thanks bill I guess gotta do some more research that were it gets confusing and dab press didn’t have that info that I found I know it’s based off the size of the plates but too stoned this time of day

TBH I haven’t noticed low humidity levels to negatively affect the plants. 25% is high for my environment, and I don’t run a humidifier at all….the plants just keep on truckin’

I haz babies,,,,,,,,well 2 weeks old

I like Purple kush cbd so much i'll be reversing it next grow for more seeds so i can orgypot a tent or 2

Damn i knew it was going to be good. cbd and thc at a close to equal rate do me so good. I also get really actually get a good buzz from delta 8 and thc o all that shit. But can eat all the edibles i ever came across not feel shit

What method do you use for the extraction? Everclear? Then reduced? I’d like to mimic your method so I can use your numbers as a ballpark figure for strength.

Long wash ethanol. I distill my own 185 proof from cheap vodka. when you evaporate off all of the ethanol that will leave at 180°F the resulting sludge will be about the same actives as the rosin - minus the terps. I was going to throw the chips away when I first started pressing but I made a chocolate bar out of some of the sludge and it got me soo foooked up. I have been using them since. I just add terps to the chocolate bar to mask the sludge I like to wait for winter to process this outdoors. The still works way better when the air temp is below 60°F

TY for the reps @Zer0 , @Mañ'O'Green and @420Forever That's the largest plant that I have harvested I started by removing bamboo sticks and the netting and yes timber she fell I hooked up a chain and pulled her stump with the truck @Mañ'O'Green the repair tape with the hose clamp worked

I used a bicycle inner-tube on a split fruit tree once and it worked.

And a full pipe load of Stomper has me ready for bed now so I'm hoping the mood will be better tomorrow and I'll see ya in the morning.

good morfnoevight Bill!

Evening kittens...was one of those rare "Don't fvck with me " days where I'm anti social as hell and it takes all my will power to not go off on the wife or dogs......spent it mostly outside, pulling weeds, putting in a longer ramp out the front door, doing laundry, etc....just to keep myself busy.

I so hate those days. I usually don't go out, but when I have to go out, I have to get really lit......walk that line.
I really shouldn't go out. Not really worried about 'people' contact. I can almost always walk away from most things.
It's when I can't walk away is when I need to be careful with what I say and do...........mainly do. That's LE encounters. I'm fine with professionals. I'm not tolerate of the others. I'll just leave it at that.

Speaking of thc%, i grew out seedsman purple kush cbd 1:1 its suppose to be like 8% on both and me and my family agree it hits as hard as my 25%+ strains if not harder.

So is the thc cbd %'s that big of a game changer or is it the terps and stuff?

YES!

I love it so far and plan to try more 1:1's later but for now i'll use what i have in inventory

I hear my cousin brag about delta 8, he loves it. i see it sold in gas stations but i'm iffy on something i can't grow myself or can we?

 

[Zer0]

No clue, I have 0 experience with cbd other than Ive read cannabinoids interact with the body more effectively when certain ones are at certain levels, like cbd makes it easier to absorb thc or the reverse. I cant remember. I read that article years ago. That might be why it just hit faster, or maybe it just produced more thc than it advertised. Id suppose thats possible

It could be 15% for all i know, good point.

i was just going off the strain info but i can see me growing it a tad better lol

I've tried it and it's a different sot of high. I've had a cart for over a month. We can't make Delta8. It's a processed product that's made in the lab.
It's my last cart. I have no idea what went into making it or who made it.

Their full strength mix is
Part A: 3.79g
Epsom: 0.99g
Part B: 2.52g

I don't run full strength, I started with autos at 80% strength, which funnily enough is actually the 3/2/1 formula: 3gA, 2gB, 1gEpsom. It works pretty well. I mix 4 gallons at a time so the nutrient amounts guarantee a proper blend of the powder components. A trick I learned from MoG mixing his megacrop. You can up/down the strength by either reducing the amounts in % ratio or just multiply by one less. Example: 3/2/1 x 4 for the 4 gallons and its 12/8/4g each OR just do x3 and use 9/6/3 into 4 gallons. I do bump the Epsom a touch higher for coco. Usually 1.3g/gal insted of just the 1g/gal.

The only thing I add is a liquid silica. I use that as a pH buffer in RO. The Jacks line tends to be pretty acidic. Mixing up just the plain nutrients and the pH ends up around 5.5-ish or lower. It took a bit of test and tune but I can pretty much hit my target pH by adjusting the amount of silica. It holds very very stable for several days, both pH and strength. I bought their full kit, even though I know it was probably far overpriced, especially for epsom salt. Ah the price of convenience!

This one:

I do use the clone/seedling product when starting new seeds. I also use the bloom booster during the transition period to flowering. Then it just switches back to the normal 80% strength until the end. I did use the finish on my last photperiod plant and it worked quite well.

There are several far better growers than I using the line. I have only used it in coco so far. Quite easy to simply flush if I see a mistake developing and I am far from good enough to decipher nutrient issues.

You do need to mix in the correct order: A/Epsom/B, or it will get cloudy. Plenty of videos and help/guides on their website as well. I like to mix mine and let it sit for ~20min just to make sure the pH and ppm settle and are where I want them. The powder can take a little stirring to dissolve fully but it does quite easily. Ok that's probably enough of a book eh?

Other growers I can think of who use Jacks:

@Cave Dirt Cody , @Cerebral Goo , and surprise! @Son of Hobbes said it worked very well in a commercial grow.



EDIT: The Twenty20 SparkleFace photo grow in my signature was a full Jacks run. Turned out beautifully. Not a crispy/yellowed/malformed leaf on the whole thing.

@McDee check my post on page 184. Use straight up or mod as you like.People are doing all kinds of crazy mods with the formulas. To start you can keep it simple and stick with the 3 main parts and go from there. If they look hungry, add a little more 5/12/26, if you need more calcium or nitrogen, add some more cal nir, if you need some mag, add more epsom. Or reduce if you think it's too much. Each plan/strain will be different and be effected by your environment etc...

For autos I used 60%, full power fulvic, and bumped up the mag a bit and did pretty good. I'm doin photos at the moment and what i'm using is in the post mentioned above and they're doin well enough for the first time using Jack with photos.

I'm no expert by any means, but if you got questions fire away!

Man, that took some time for me to type. Don't type well when this baked!
