A Shadey spot to grow, Perpetual organic no till

Last update for a while, I took the pics on Sunday, and then switched off everything in the flower room, and left them in the dark, with no water since last Wednesday. They all look dead on their stalks anyway.

So in the seedling cab we have lost one Big Bang. They are getting there, cant deliver them until this lock down crap finishes and I can leave the Halifax local area. A couple of small ones still struggling, they have actually jumped up a bit since I took the pic, hoping they all pass 8 inches before they go outside.

The rest in the Veg tent, looking quite happy, No mite sign yet, but my basement tempts are still only 66F and the tent is still only hitting 74F max, just enough to keep my alcohol mash going, for some more high proof stuff, went through quite a bit trying to kill off the mitesā€¦

In the Flower Room.

Big Sebs Rev, at nearly 10 weeks now I think, I might try and vacuum off the dead leaves with the shop vac, then when I am finished I will just burn the bag lol.

The small Sebs Rev at 12 weeks now

The other big Sebs Rev, those buds struggled to get any size with the mites sucking the life out of it.

Finally the Ogers female at nearly 8 weeks from flip, she looks done, the mites sucked every last drop of chlorophyll out of her in the last week.

Going out to chop them all in about 20 minutes.

Cheers all.

Mites have to be a growers worst enemy at flower time such nice looking plants till them bastards move in .
Good luck with getting rid of them itā€™s a bitch but clean and clean again if your able to do a sulphur burn once the flowering plants are down you should be good to go.

Yeah my sulphur burner is primed and ready to fire up, I was just going to hang the plants in there for a week to dry them a bit, and then I will strip off the buds and make enough CBD oil for the next 6 months out of them. Probably start some more of them when I re start.

The Ogers female is chopped up and drying in a paper bag out there, I dont want to wash those buds with seeds in, so they can stay out there for a couple of weeks, when I burn the sulphur I will just close up the bag, I dont think it would hurt the seeds anyway though.

No it shouldnā€™t but the bud will be ruined even to turn it to hash or cook with the sulphur will permeate and the taste is gross .

I wasnā€™t going to smoke the seeded weed, makes me shudder just looking at it lol.

I will sort the CBD out before I burn sulphur in there.

Yummy. That takes me back to musty, harsh brick weed.

Iā€™ve smoked my quota of that!

Just thinking of that makes me think Iā€™d smoke seeded stuff from any of yā€™all. :joy:

:joy: no doubt! It probably took your patience level down as well.

Potassium hydroxide. :wink:

Edit: had to look it up. I get it and sodium hydroxide mixed up all the time. I actually ordered sodium hydroxide first (lye). :joy: Itā€™s the difference between liquid and solid soap.

Just a post to keep my journal alive I donā€™t want the system shutting it down and deleting it for non usage.

Might have to edit the title as its no so perpetual atm lol.

My vape has bit the dust again, seems they only last 3 or 4 months before something goes wrong. Last time it would turn itself off straight after turning on, now the batteries died and it wonā€™t charge at all :persevere

So last night I sampled some RSO made from Ogers and Tranquil Elephantizer Remix as I couldnā€™t have a vape.

I may have had to higher a dose, it was like creeping death lol. I had some about 8pm and 2 hours later I was thinking this is a bit meh, nothing is happening.

I went into a coma shortly after lol, had an out of body experience, total couch lock, couldnā€™t even move a finger. I got lots of amazing visuals, it was very like shrooms. Woke about 4.30 am in my chair, as the dog wanted out, I was still stoned out of my brain lol.

What vape keeps dying ?

4 Likes

Itā€™s a Utillian 620, itā€™s a great vape when itā€™s working, but for $190 you would think it would last more than 4 months before needing a new battery, maybe it was a refurnished unit they sent me to replace the first one that died after 2-3 months.

Not sure yet George, I am thinking of starting up again after Christmas, probably get one grow in before I have to dismantle everything, for when we put the house up for sale next year.

I will be really pissed off if they havenā€™t gone after 7 months. Well I wonā€™t have to worry after we move unless they are still in the veg tent somehow. I may run it at 80f for a week to hatch any dormant ones, and run the sulphur burner in it to make sure.

I would definitely suggest doing this. In fact, if you can do a heat treat after. Get it to 120Ā°F for two hours.

Not sure the small electric heater will get it that hot, without it bursting into flames lol, but I will give it a try with a bigger one and see how hot I can get it in there, cheers.

Took the veg tent down today, made up a 10 gal pot into a 6 gal pot, with some compost, EWC and promix organic vegetable and herb peat moss, added some water to get things peculating for when I germinate a couple of seeds shortly.

Going to break down one of my 150w veg lights so it will fit in my clone and seedling cab, need to switch over a dimmer from the 240w driver so I can turn it down if the plants get to close. Need to test for light proofing as they will be flowered in there as well.

Starting to get excited about growing again lol.
