Album

The album has some thoughts with the pictures, but bottom line, it was hard work, wasn’t as difficult as I was imagining from the guides, but it is definitely something that has to be done right, cold, and fast.

I opened the vent for the bathroom all the way the day before and kept the door closed so the AC could help chill it.

I think next time I’ll try a drywall mixing paddle instead of a paint mixer, but with plan on just using this pvc pipe again, it worked pretty good.

I don’t think I had enough water the first few washes, the filters do slowly clog up if you don’t rinse them fast enough. So I had a few spills from the filters not allowing water through and it spilling out.

All in all, fun and I can’t wait to weigh it to see what I got! But yeah definitely need to try and make it less physical next time.

So, you basically just violently mix the plant in icy water and collect the trichomes on a filter later?

Other plant matter is collected on bigger filters? How does the plant look after this?

And also… how the fuck do you motherfuckers get 1400g of weed from a single plant. Im lucky if i get 200 wet.

That’s basically it.

The plant looked okay, I just tossed it in the compost bin before they picked it up this morning. You can use the left overs to make edibles still I’ve heard, just gotta dry it really carefully.

That was from two crappy autos, I got 5kg wet from my last two plants… 2 sisters to cut down in two weeks too, the autos should have finished around that time.

Aeroponics and a decent light, I specifically got one with R FR and UV wavelengths.
