yea its strange i had a 3 pack of those and all 3 looked like that.. It was real strong smoke.. just no weight.. i smoke the whole plant in a week.. or 1 of them.. the rest went to BHO.
they were free from world of seeds with my NLXBB auto !!:eyebrows: thats a bush worth talking about!!! amazing pot!!! Amazing weight on the NLXBB :headbang:

wow the color contrasts on that first pic is great elvis!:thumbsup:

@blue Yes iv Twaxed a few Joints with Rosin its nice with a group but to the head way to much lol.

Just like BHO Rosin has some very stable consistencys strain dependent of course.

But if you want to twax and got gooey rosin quick pop onto parchament paper or a slick mat and in the fridge for a few secs will allow you to roll it into your snake to wrap up the paper.

Here blue try this one:pass:
what i do instead of rolling worms i just get a nice scoop on the scoop end of my dab tool and take my torch and heat up like 2" above the wax and it will heat up and melt, during this time i treat my dab tool like a paint brush and smear the wax on the inside of the paper or leaf which ever you choose to roll... works great :thumbsup:
 
Back in my day sonny,we only had cartoons on three channels,,these educational vids would play in between...anybody remember them???. ..so i had this idea of a new series "I'm just a Nute" ,think it would work
 
Here's a question for all the guitarists....what's with the urge to make the guitar solo so freaking long??? :baked:

Guitarist Wakes Up From Five-Year Solo
HEMPSTEAD, NY – Family and friends of local guitarist James Kenney rejoiced early this morning, as the musician awoke from his coma-like state after playing a guitar solo for five continuous years.

My grandmother told me to use banana in a soil mix great for flower she said so there truth to this as th old dear always grew mean flowers n veg she always kept all the banana peals for soil mix
Morning all you STONERS!

So here we have it. Straight from the Nana's mouth. Rock hard evidence.
(proof of that is if any of you call my Nana a liar, we're gonna have problems!)
Bananas are good for your soil, and the plants growing with in it!

So class, please do pay attention.
I have many hours of research and trials in what I am going to share with you. Please steal and use this this info for your own benefit. If you have any questions regarding it, please refer them to Fuggzy's little happy trees!. No need to clog up LS, you guys keep it busy enough.

I personally am not a fan of fermented plant extracts/juice (FPE, FPJ) that use water. They take a long time to make, and have a horrible smell while the fermentation process takes place. As an organic gardener, and one who tries to be as natural as possible, FPE is necessary. However, I refuse to have that stagnant funk pot of glop and goo anywhere near my house. Ughh!

Now with organics, one thing you learn, and fast, is there are a 1,001 ways to do something. So I went to reading and testing. I found a waterless FPE, and I continued to test. Another thing you also learn as a organic or "natural" gardener is to make use of you surrounding. The best way to make a micro environment that will thrive in your environment... Is to use your environment to make it. This also greatly reduces the cost of nutrients, and helps ensure the micro-heard you are attracting will fit in so to say.

So banana plants are something I have a metric butt load of. Before my soil was a passion, the banana plants where a pain in my ass. I don't like them, they take a lot of work to keep them nice looking, and you typically (in my area) do not get any fruit. Now I hold them in one of the highest regards. Without any further QWERTY, I bring you ...

Rather than relying on the water to create an anaerobic environment, we are going to rely on a osmotic pressure from brown sugar crystals to draw out the liquids of the plant materials. This method normally smells like w/e you put in it, and also much faster, taking only 10-14 days.

What you will need:
  1. Glass jar/vessel
  2. Brown sugar (amount depends of plant amounts)
  3. Plant materials (banana in this guide)
  4. Cloth to cover the jar/vessel



I start by prepping my plant materials. Here I am just removing the outer layer of the flower, to expose the more meaty, wet core. The 2nd pic is the stem, and just to show the lose of color, the deeper it goes. I did not use this piece.

2.JPG 3.JPG

When I get to the heart of the flower, I split it down the middle, then slice it like an onion. I get strips about 1/4" x 1". This particular batch I added a green banana. I simply cut it in ~1/2" cubes.
4.JPG 5.JPG 6.JPG


Once everything is cut up, add the plant materials to the jar/vessel, and mix in some brown sugar. You want to use enough to generously coat the plant materials. We will be adding more sugar, so don't worry about going heavy handed. Once the sugar is well coated, mix everything for about 2 minutes. This is going to give the process a kick start. You will notice the sugar start to get wet, this is a sign the osmotic pressure is already working.

After everything is well mixed, add about 1.5-2" layer of sugar on top. You want to evenly coat it, and make sure everything is covered. After that, take the cloth and loosely tie/cover the jar/vessel. There is a gas exchange that needs to happen, so make sure the mix can breath. The cover is mainly to keep critters out of it.
8.JPG 9.JPG

This is about 2.5 days. The liquid has really collected in the vessel now.

10.JPG

This is around 6 days. The gas exchange is going on, and why we want to use a loose cloth.
11.JPG


This is about 9 days. The gases had already stopped forming, and I let it sit for an extra day to settle.
12.JPG

Normally the mix comes out like a honey color and thickness. Because of the higher starch levels in the green banana, this batch was very thick, and needed to be diluted to get out of the vessel. I used a 1:1 dilution. Regardless if you dilute now, or after straining out the plant materials, a 1:1 dilution is the goal. I like to stir the mix with 50-100 stirs. I feel that it releases any left over gases, and adds some O2 to the mix.
13.JPG

When straining, I will take the jar/vessel, and set it up side down in the strainer, and let it sit for 1 hour. What I get from this, I label as 1st wash, and bottle it in the 1:1 formulas.
14.JPG


For my second wash, I simply run 500ml through the strainer, and plant materials, back in to the jar/vessel. I will agitate the materials, and swish everything around to collect anything left over. Then restrain the plant materials, and bottle/label 2nd wash. (picture limit...)

I use the 1st wash for sprays, and adding to teas, while the 2nd wash I will use for root feeding. I have nothing to go on for doing this, I just feel the 1st was is more pure/gentle, and more suited for the leaves. 1st wash is on the left, and 2nd on the right.
15.JPG


For use, add it to your feedings at anywhere from 10-50% for roots, and 10-30% for leaves. Always start off low, and work up. I normally start around 20% on roots, and 10% on leaves.

Any plant materials that you would use in a traditional FPJ/FPE will work in this. I happen to have a lot of banana plants, so I use the flower often in flower mode. Here is a bit of information of the nutrient commonly found in the flower/fruit/peel, just in case any of you have access to them also.
