New Grower Megabuds, Rosin and Tinctures OH my!

[Machamillion]

Ah the real gateway drug. Alcohol. I think people who say beer tastes good are damn good at lying to themselves. I mean we all know what good is right? A medium rare porterhouse steak. ice cream, chocolate, weed brownies (taco bell at 2am lol). But no gosh darn way does a beer taste "good".

You had me right uptil “Taco Bell”

It’s definitely something to think about. Side bar. The reason why we get a beer belly or college girls get the freshman 20( pounds of beer weight) is that your liver decided by priority what it wants to process immediately or store. When you drink beer your body decides to process the most toxic first( the alcohol) and store the fat. Clearly a good reason I only drink my own home made bourbon.
So people who don’t get a strong effect from edibles I wonder what your liver is working on. Or I wonder if you have such a healthy endocanbinoid system does your body decide you don’t need any more.

That’s stoner doctoring right there.



So let’s talk about the the star of the show.
Megabuds Beast mode autos

Oh yeah exciting a 3 day old sprout in DWC.

So we will try and look around the room.
Here are the fresh pops of Megs Buds Fast Master. Going to get the moved up a bit.View attachment 1101560
Soaked some 3” cubes in light nutrients ph to 5.8. And threw a bit of this jelly fish stuff in the hole. Sold by same guys that do great white. I think it’s just a lower priced less potent product for us cheap guys. I’ll be getting ReCharge added to the toolbox this winter but for now working through the old stuff.

And on the heat mat on the shelf with the Blue Dream clones.View attachment 1101563
Here are my two Ripleys growing really strong. I had said I was going to try and journal my feds so others can see what a hack I am.
So when I went into the room to check on them I noticed they had drank about 3 gallons for the big one and two gallons for the other. After topping with my 7.5 ph water they were at 6.6 and 6.4. Based on watching them grow and drink I figured I’d give them some Maxibloom. I threw 3 tsp in the big one, and two in the small. Ph came down to 6.1 and 6.2. I’ll watch them and if next time they need water the ph is the same I’ll add same or more to try and get the ph to drift down slightly. I’ll watch leaves and if I see micro deficiencies then I’ll add the Megacrop 1:2 . Still working on getting better color balance in phone. Sorry View attachment 1101564
The two Six shooter are bulking and drinking good so I gave them 1/2 tsp of powdered koolbloom. I don’t think I’ll be feeding these again. They are pulling nitrogen from the leaves and I’m going to plain water top off my dirty buckets until I harvest. 2-3 weeks I figure unless...,,,View attachment 1101565
So before I show you fine folks at AFN the mess of sloppy girls in my experimental photo room. Here is a normal flower in the control plant. HSO Blue Dream CBD.View attachment 1101566
Nice girl on the left and her sloppy friend in the right. Getting so fat she can’t stand up, and I don’t care.View attachment 1101567
The other side of the room has these two messes that have some branches that have super cropped themselves. I did some early, and these have fox tailed like crazy. But they are all going to extract so I wanted to abuse them.View attachment 1101568
And this is the first time I have tried this. Love all the stuff that could be myth or the secret sauce. So figured these sloppy experiments needed to get screwed. Just one so I can see for myself.View attachment 1101569

And that’s that folks.

Hope everyone is enjoying the little adventure so far. Lots more to come.
Now continue on with whatever conversation sparks your fancy. Just make sure everyone shares and before we leave don’t leave anyone napping in the woods.

Looking good, and the freshman 20 ain't no joke hahahaha. People get fatttt quick

That is why there is the lol... god i hate that place as much as my ass does the next day

 

[Machamillion]

Agreed!

Boy did I wander off the trail. Must have been those edibles I had for breakfast to start the day yesterday. So I posted two updates, both in the wrong threads. If you’ve seen this already I apologize.


The Megabuds Beast mode autos are only 10 days old so they aren’t going to get pictures till this weekend at two weeks. We all know what’s seedlings look like and the growth by day 14 will be worth it.


Chopped down two of the sloppy HSO Blue Dream CBD Photo plants to make room for the next round of clones behind them.
Here are the first two. This is mostly all going to our upcoming extraction side show.
Broken down to start

Finished kept a few descent top buds to the right for myself and friends that like flower to try.

Saving everything. All the buds will also go into these large garden refuse bags that I then trim down. Folded shut and hung in the Auto closet that is at 50% RH and high 70’s

While hanging the bags I noticed how beautiful the Ripleys looked with the flashlight so figured I’d throw some bud porn up
Big girl frosting and bulking

Her little sister trying not to be outdone. Still a week behind.

Canopy level of them both, kinda

And then the six shooters about two weeks to go. Maybe. Stopped feeding and they are fading quickly.
Back

Front

Now this little bastard is a gg4 that I reversed with CS. Then because of bad weather I brought him inside. I stopped spraying and I think it’s a girl again. It’s been around for months now and just hanging on the shelf. Curious to see where it goes but it’s frosting up now. It’s at least four months old.

Here’s the shelf of Blue Dream clones before putting them into temporary 5 gallon DWC buckets.

And here they are moved into the photo room on 12/12. I let my first experimental photo grow veg to long and they got big and sloppy. Going to use what I learned and try keeping them shorter. The five gallon HD buckets are temporary for a few weeks so they can all fit under that one rail. When the other two Blue Dream finish these will all get the 8 gallon buckets and go two plants per rail.

So....

By the weekend we should have some Megabuds Beast mode autos to start to look at and decide how to train.

By next week we should have a bunch of dried Blue Dream to play with for extraction. Hope everyone is still enjoying our little nature hike. Almost time to play with the cool toys.

Looking real nice

Can't wait for the extraction shenanigans.

Hello AFN

So here are some pictures of the stars of our little hike in the woods, Megabuds Beast Mode autos. These are under my cob rail and it has 3k/4K Cree Cobs so my camera on my chest phone never knows how to correct. Sorry for the orange hue.

14 days today

Here is one just before I clip the top two fully develop fans. I do this rather than FIM or too. I find in my environment it allows them to bush out better with slowing them down

And just after. Megabuds day they will be strong feeders and will want to grow tall so I’ll be doing my best to feed them and stay in top of them to control height.

And then another in the temporary 5 gallon. When these girls get big enough to start some tying down in a week or two, then I’ll give them some numbers. But for now only one looks really different

And that is our mutant Beast mode
This lopsided little lass has got a few mutant nodes so far and doesn’t seem to know what she’s supposed to do. Healthy mutant so it gets a chance.

Another of the 5 gallon temporary buckets

So far the plants don’t have any alarming issues. They each have a twisted leave or two and the odd deformed edge. Happy with the health so far.

And then for now the BD clones after a couples days of 12/12. Stretching, fed them after this picture. They are hungry. Just threw 2 tsp of Megacrop in the buckets, and 3ml each of some silica.

Four in five gallons under single cob rail running about 130 now. Will push it to 100w per plant in full flower. Hoping this second run will be better than the first. Temps are much better now as we head into fall

And as far as the shenanigans goes we still need to get some dried flower first. Another day or two away and then I need to jar and wait till I have time to dry sift.

Did a run through the distillation setup with just plain grain to see how it’s running and clean it out. I was able to start evaporating off the grain around 140 degrees F, as opposed to 175. So the water should evaporate of at around 180. Which will be much lower temperatures than I had been using before. Using a cheap $50 vacuum pump so not sure I’m going to get more vacuum then that. Was hoping for a bit lower. Have some tweaks that might help when it’s time.

And that’s all for now.

Looking great, man! Lots of good stuff going on over there. I, too am looking forward to some cooling temps over the next few weeks. Great time to flower! Keep on truckin!
