Yeah, I'm fine.
Trying to tie up some loose ends. Fittin' to get busy again. Stressing about that a bit, I guess--nothing serious.
Play again?
Yes, thanks!Quote:

Yee ha! Personal best.
No "green", no tar, no dirt. no dog hair.
Just;
[attachment=o232709].
At 400x I found a single amber trichome.
Which I offer to Rusty's wife as a get well card.;
[attachment=o232710]
When I 'scoped the tailings, I saw inner folds still crusted with occupied trichs. ;
[attachment=o232712]
Then there's the surface, and internal thc, so I threw the bolus, still chilled, into a saucepan full of water and butter.
Simmered for 2 hours, then strained and skimmed.
Will make p-nut budder cookies with the butter.
My last batch was a hit.
Can't quantify the budder yeild , but any buzz left after a >10% hash yeild is pure gravy to me.:cool:
I is bubbled to da gills.:stoned:
You take da first move brah.
A happy, wee, tiny, 'zard:smokin:

No dog hair?
Once I discovered a whole buncha red pistils on the floor of the flower closet, which I generally keep spotlessly clean. I had a slow-finishing sativa under a hot HPS and figgered they just kinda fell out overnight, so I swept them up into a little pile and crammed them greedily into my little brass pipe.
Just as I was wolfing down an enormous hit, I heard my little brown special-needs doggie let out a contented groan. She had backed up to the 6" intake vents on the other side of the wall, and was letting the suction give her a nice grooming/massage.
That was some harsh smoke.
Cookies are prolly better.
I'd think the chewy ones would clog yer screen.:rastasmoke:Quote:

Hey Weezard,
Nice BH pictures. Damn good closeups, you be gettin' good with da toy.(my hand ain't steady enough for 400x)
OK, so what is your collection method oh mighty sage of the trichome?:D
Thanks Mac!Quote:

Bubba hash tips
Tip 1.
Is all about proper drying and curing of the sugar n popcorn before the deep freeze.
I dry well, then jar for a month, then deep freeze.
Basically, treat it like good bud.
If it's still green when ya freeze it, the end product suffers from black and green tars.
If the leaf is too fresh, the hash never dries.
Tastes nasty too. :p
Tip 2.
It's good to wait until the water is very cold before adding the frozen leaf if you want max yeild.
Trichs warm up real fast 'roun' here so I leave it in da freezer until the water's properly chilled.
Tip 3.
Recirculate.
I put the coarse bag in an insulated bucket with a drain hole.
Hermie uses a cooler.
Which is :cool:er.
When I start the top bucket/cooler, I add extra water and wait about an hour for it all to chill.
I put it up on the table so it can use gravity to drain it into the lower bucket with the rest of the bubble bags in it.
To recirculate the ice water to keep up with melting ice and to wash down the sides of the coarse bag, I use a cheapie pond pump in a bottom of the second bucket.
That water is filtered by the bags so the pump sees very clean, cold, water which it pumps to the top bucket.
That lets you control exactly how "mushy" the ice is.
And that, is the key to higher yield.
Too dry, can't stir!
Too watery, not enough "bumping" to knock off the resin globs.
[attachment=o232768]
Tip 4.
Hand mush!
It's not that hard when the mix is right.
I used a blender once. Very bad Idea.
Chopped the leaf into itsy bits which went through the coarse screen. Feh!
Then I tried an ice cream maker. :rastasmoke:
Too gentle. Low yield.
A large paddle or spoon and a just right ice/water ratio has made the whole process easy, productive and rewarding for me.
Yours can be driven by Tonto power.:D
That's what I got, so far.
Can't wait to see you finesse it to a science.:cool:
Topic?
Oh yeah!
Um on-topic...?
Tip 5.
When most of the water is squoze out of the hash.
Wrap it in saran and put it in the heel of your shoe.
Then take a hike.
That turns Lebanese blonde into Afghany slab.
At least cosmetically.:D
Then take one good hit, and play some chess.
See, on-topic!:D
Aloha
Weeze
Thanks a bunch Weezard.:thumbsup:
Excellent tips and tutorial.
I've been doing something much different, drying the trimmings (a couple of days) then freezing the trim and putting it in a paint strainer bag. Then manually shaking it over a glass table, and collecting the kief, or trichomes.
Scarp it up and toke or vape. Or we put 7gm of keif between 2 quarters and squeeeeze in the hydralic press....blonde quarters. (the state quarters have been a kick, collecting and pressing)
I had plans to build a brass screen trommel (rotating drum) to do this, but maybe I should consider the water/ice idea...I think I saw plans to convert a washing machine....and I have one of those...:D
tanks again -oldmac
Oh back to topic, chess?, please carry on.:)
Dr. Hermie
Thanks again for the tip on the stones��much more consistent than the ones I had.
Weeze
Finally got off to the city for materialsâ?¦.the cloner project is beginning to take a little shape. Sposta snow here tomorrow so if shoveling doesnâ??t occupy my entire day, Iâ??ll e-ya pics tomorrow or soon.
Hasta el proximo vez,

Hey, nice tutorial on hashmaking. All except the walking part. Too much like work. I jes' put it in my front trouser pocket and underwrite lap dances until everything reaches the proper consistency. :thumbsup: Costs a bit, I know, but the economy has really taken a toll on those kids...:(
P - KB4
I love bringing that knight out soon, but this looks interesting. Not particularly strong, but interesting...
Iff'n ya wants interesting.
P X P
All downhill from here.:D

N - KB3
Best move!
I'll answer with;
P - Q3
A quiet move.
Too quiet.
The book says;
Develop a piece.
Yet, I short-move a pawn.
You might want to think about that.:)
BTY, that was good advice, to beef.
There's a fellow, (I think), ovah on IC that I asked to open a DIY thread for his ledengin build.
He asked us for help in "LEDGIRL's thread."
(Hey, he bought it, it's his.:D )
No need a weatherman to forcast that future, yah?
So I told him to open a new thread, and I'd drop by to kibitz.
He did just that.
It's refreshing to note, that he slogged through all our posts first, before asking for assistance.:thumbsup:
And then did so with some grace. (Hence the "I think").
Seems bright and sincere
I told him that Giblet might drop by to translate da pidgin to high wit, with any luck.
You up for it?
Weeze
Well, I finally found the thread you mentioned. Sure, I'll jump in. Little late now, gotta git...
What was this about?
Ya know, L.gurl is a mod/advertiser on another board, also. (Grnpassn) Same tactics there. I remember when the "civil-disobedience-for-lunch-bunch" would have rejected all this hype/marketing B.S. as "establishment." :hippy: Obviously, our willingness as a society to be fed propaganda has blossomed to match our reluctance to conduct any kind of experimentation with proper controls.Quote:
I posted a rather lengthy reply to that question in Apollonia's thread on c.dot.
They no want you posting links or hijackin' threads here, but if you search for it...
In truth, I'm kinda hesitant about posting anything here lately.
Ya know what I mean?
Lemme study your sneaky little chess move and see what this may transpose into. Once the first few moves are over I just play it by ear, but I like to study the openings. It's like learning a new piece on an instrument that you already know how to play.
I was tempted to do B - QB4 on my last move just to feel how that plays out, but I just didn't like the "feel" of it. Looks like another cueball scratch. :D
Good instincts. There are better moves than that.Quote:

Look to your vulnerabilities.
You dismantled you king's side castle early-on, so I can start gearing up to dismantle your queen's side now.
Then, it's head to head in the center. Whee!
This is already a non-standard opening so, should be very interesting.:thumbsup:

Hey, curiousity works for me. (Gutshots woulda been interesting, kef, kef...) I just noticed a pic of the light that shows the emitters in small groups, exactly aligned with the 6 cooling fans. The best reason I can think of to do dat is to compensate for inadequate heatsinking. You a bettin' man?Quote:
I almost got seduced by the carrot of a free light meself.
Though I tell myself it was curiosity.
I realize it's not ideal to castle with a pawn or two missing. But might it be still be worthwhile to castle kingside, considering where it puts that rook? I guess I need to consider the pawn's defensive capabilities. (I got all swept up in having discovered promotions and pawn chains.) Looks like you think I've blown a hole in the side of my castle already...Quote:
You dismantled you king's side castle early-on, so I can start gearing up to dismantle your queen's side now.
P.S. Is there a quick to suppress the signatures?
Easy, when I remember, jus' scroll down, and un-check "show your signature".Quote:

Hey, can you check the thread I just answered? New poster apparently burned off his fan leaves with neem oil followed by high heat. Filled out the form, everything looks kosher. Prognosis?

Nasty stuff, Dawn, dehydrates the leaves.
But, that wouldn't be new information, yah?
Be more like rubbing it in.
Can't suggest a fix, either, those leaves are gone.
Prognosis?
I'd let it ride while re-stocking my clones and hope for mercy.
He's already learned something 'bout pest control.
Less is more. and Know thy enemy.

I finally moved a piece.
But, orthodox, it ain't.

Hey Weez & DH,
@DH: nice posts on the stealthy LED on the other side!:thumbsup:
@ Weez: You showed me your's now here is a picture of mine. Dry collected kief, up close and personal. :)
Hey, Mac...did you ever try a Makin's Clay Extruder as a keif press? I gotta picture around here somewhere.. they're like $20...
Sheesh porn!Quote:

It should have occured to me that you have too much volume to mess with icewater.
Though you could prolly use ice water to float the trich stalks and cystoliths off as a last step before pressing.
Also rinses out water soluables like bug poo.
Some of those caps are water clear.
You like da young, uppity girls, yah?
Thanks Mac

P - QN3
I just googled it to see it. Interesting, I never thought about extruding it. They do have some crazy shapes, but I think I will continue pressing it between quarters in a cylinder under the hydralic press.:)Quote:

(Got three dogs an a cat)
Though you could prolly use ice water to float the trich stalks and cystoliths off as a last step before pressing.I might consider that, it could have a calming effect on the harshness of the smoke. Sorta a water cure.
That it does.
Gets rid of house dust too.
Lotsa crap sticks to da goo.
Also rinses out water soluables like bug poo.I don't have "bug poo" in either of my grows. I grow indoors and believe in good hygiene.
Not a fan of bug poo, but now that I grow outside, I get aphid "honeydew" and gecko pee as well.
Comes with.:).
Have to rinse and dry before I trim da buds.
But, sunlight got no greedy meter, yah.
And indoors, Argh! Got problems.
I'm getting whitefly poo all over my indoor veg. girls lately.
Friend gifted me some "trojan clones":(
Drat!
Outside, they have natural predators and wind.
Inside, they laugh at nopeststrips.
Threw a big fan at 'em and I herd them toward the exhaust fan when I'm in there.
Got the soil surface covered too, but they just keep breedin.
And I try to avoid any kine spray, so., what to do?
You have any wisdom 'bout dem buggahs?
Da tiny kine, but almost definitely white fly

"Some of those caps are water clear.They from the bottoms of the leaves, and they drop off first. Since playing with the eyeclops I've realized that the trichs from the bottom of the leaves are longer and usually bent so they break off easier.
"
Aha!
Makes sense.
I usually find the tiny clear caps in da bottom sieve.
They make a very blonde, almost white, hash.
I assumed it was a higher grade sifting. Woohoo!:jointsmile:
Hence my disapointment.
The high was "thin", short lasting, and lacked "character" .
I think I just learned why. Mahalo nui!
Now I'm wondering if my shiny mulch will reflect enough light to cloud the shaded caps up some.
The clear ones are un-affected by UVb.
Least, as far as I can see.
Once they are ripe, it no take long.
Dey brown right up, then Cheech yer Chong.:stoned:
OK. Gettin' too ripped to post now.

Re: Whiteflies
I can't see that pic well at all. Actually looks more like a larva-creature on my monitor, but I'm guessing that's actually a winged adult.
Know ya don't like sprays, but Volck Oil Spray was very effective against lotsa critters like that. Used to use it in the greenhouse, and as a leaf wash / shine for decoratives. (Talking 30+ years ago. Volck is obviously a petroleum product, and I don't see it mentioned any more. Maybe some side effects have been discovered since then...)
Worked well on weed, too, but I never used it within 30 days of harvest or got my buds wet with it- leaves only. Also, treated plants become very sensitive to light and heat. Saw some inexperienced applicators really do some epic damage that way. Just a thought...
True dat.Quote:

The best control is natural enemies, and just about anything you can use on weed is harder on the predators, than on the prey!
Makes it counterproductive.
Only harmless control I saw was yellow sticky traps.
They don't do much damage and they do indicate when a plant is in trouble.
When one of the gals gets "out of sorts", they mob her.
Guess nothin's all bad.

Not on the usual list, but...
Thought about oleoresin capsicum? That deters a lotta creatures. (Also why Hermie so often cries after sex...:() Exposure to O2 breaks it down, typically the carrier is an ethyl alcohol / H2O mixture with a propylene glycol-type food-grade preservative. Just throwin' stuff out, here...

Hmmm.:detective1:
They are attracted to yellow leaves.
Perhap I could use yellow light to attract them to the exhaust vent.:toilet_claw:
I'll trade ya some slightly used starfish brown emitters for some Sunburst yellows.;)
