Where the bubble-heads at? I’m on the verge of my very first bubble hash run, so any pro-tips are more than welcome. I’ve been hitting YT pretty hard the past couple days, and I’m getting burnt out watching the same 3-4 people doing the same thing, reading the same script. It’s like Bubbleman wrote a script for everyone like 9 years ago, and people just keep remaking the same old video every 3-4 months. Don’t get me wrong, Bubbleman is a DAWG for what he did for folks like me, and his videos are super easy to follow along with. It seems like all the information is there, or at least enough of it, so that someone like me can follow along and end up with something resembling bubble hash. And I guess that’s not really what I meant by “pro-tips”. I’m looking for the stuff you only pick up on after doing something hundreds of times over years of experience.
I smoked the test buds I clipped off the Lipsmacker and Lucky Charms. The Lipsmacker was extremely potent, but the flavor was muted because I dried the test buds near the dehumidifier. And I mean POTENT. Hit almost immediately after the first toke. Waves of feel-good radiated out from my core and down through my limbs. It was incredible, and I can’t wait to harvest that one. Totally sold on a reveg attempt with her. The Lucky Charms was kinda the opposite. Flavor was 9/10, even with a fast, shitty dry. But potency was about 5/10, with no affects being discernable over my base level of stoned. Wasn’t able to do the test on either bud with a clear head, but might give that a shot after chop. I don’t think I’ll take any test buds from the Hodag. Don’t think I need to
So yeah. The plan is to wash all or most of the Lucky Charms IX and see how it goes. I’ve had this Bubble Bag Dude set for like 2 years, but only used 1 bag 1 time to try and make dry ice hash. It didn’t go as well as it could have. I probably shook the bag too much for too long. Lesson learned. That’s why I’m starting here, asking around for advice or for you to share your experience with myself and any others who may drop-in down the line.
Last thing to talk about, then I’m out for the day. Twisted Tree Autoflowers finally did the Pure Michigan Auto drop. Went live sometime in the early hours on Black Friday. I knew it’d go fast, so I went ahead and got the 10-pack. I’ve been waiting on this one since I started growing. Seriously, 2 years ago when I was putting my rig together and looking around for seeds, I stumbled upon Twisted Tree and decided to give their Alien Moonrocks a go. I don’t even even remember how it came up, but in one of my first emails with Willow, she mentioned them working on a Pure Michigan Auto. I was sold right then and there and would have pre-ordered a pack if she’d let me. I’ve hawked and hounded their social media, waiting for any hint that it’s about to drop. So, now that it’s here, I gotta get it going right away. Which means switching the lineup. Again.
New lineup is going to be some fire though. Plus, honestly… Who wouldn’t want to be one of the first people out here running a Pure Michigan Auto? I don’t think any of the major auto breeders have done it yet. If they have its still in testing and being kept under wraps. Same with Peanut Butter Breath. So I’m hoping to maybe bring a few new people to OverGrow by way of search results. Maybe if I get my shit together I’ll give the grow diaries site another attempt.
So here’s what I’m thinking. 3 autos in 5 gallon pots filled with a funky blend of Fox Farms soil, starting in solo cups of 75/25 Happy Frog and Ocean Forest, then around day 7 moving into their final homes with a ~50/50 mix of Ocean Forest and Strawberry Fields. I’ll of course be adding some perlite, since they’re autos. They’ll probably get Mega Crop, Sweet Candy, and Bud Explosion from start to finish. I might see if the soil can hold them til they’re well into flower, then start top dressing with this Pridelands stuff I have. I can’t say it does work, but I also can’t say that it doesn’t work. I paid for it though, so I wanna use as much of it as I can before the date on the sticker rolls around. I might even mess around and see if I can get the AutoPot tray up and running. I dunno though. That’s a lot of work keeping 3 autos off of each other if they take off. That NewBerry Auto I had was a monster, and a huge amount of work in such a confined space. Maybe I’ll leave the tray alone for now
New lineup, although I do reserve the right to swap out seeds at any given moment, with or without reason.

That last one probably won’t be decided until the day I begin soaking the seeds. I’m 100% stuck on wanting to run both of those. I’ve tried starting 1 seed of each but neither sprouted. There could be something else in my fem auto drawer that catches my eye when I go digging around, so it’s whatever. Maybe I’ll stick to just the 2 plants and focus on keeping them super happy so they get really big.
Okay, wow. I’ve gotten so far away from the original point of this post. Bubble hash, and pro-tips for making it. I want to wash this Lucky Charms and see if the hash tastes as good as the flower does. Might even mess around and convince myself I need a rosin press to take it a step further. That would be nutty. Grow out a whole plant, wash the whole thing for bubble, then press that to hash rosin. That’s what resin farming is all about
