ACDC is turning RED and smells like a champ anytime I move it.

FROSTY TOO!

CBD OG KUSH is a little green nebula filled with shining stars :star_struck: .

SUPER FROSTY!

Here is a wide of the two of them together in the 4x4.

Because the Manitoba Poison & UK Cheese left the tent to go outside it was finally time to start training the White CBG. She’s gotten her second spraying of BudBusterPro today and the gains are legit.

Still sharing the tent is the demon-looking lass we call Freedom Dream. The two main colas look like their gonna fatten up like crazy under 12/12 considering they are doing this under 18/6! :open_mouth:

Upstairs the Black Snow is loving the BudBusterPro treatment just as much as the White CBG!

I cleaned up the leaves that were 50% dead + removed the spindly inner branches to open everything up for airflow. “Knock on wood” I think I have the trips under control as they had just arrived in here when I discovered them.

Earlier in the week I got 2x predatory mite packs in there now after a heavy hose-down with water when I was doing the monthly salt build-up flushing for these long-term veg plants I keep growing lol.

If anything she’s CHONKY as fuck :wink:

Thanks for checking in! :heart:

I was moving it around and of course snapped it. No tape, just a peg. Will reinforce it with tape when putting it into flower soon :smiley:

UPDATE!

All the indoor plants (other than the Mothers and 1x Father) are now in the same 4x4.

Funny enough (to me at least) in here are 3x CBD plants, 1x CBG plant, and 1x THC plant lol.

ACDC CBD from @Rhino_buddy (on week 8, flush week 1)

CBD OG KUSH from a local friend. (on week 8, flush week 1)

Freedom Dream CBD from @KanehB (Entering 12/12 today)

White CBG from @Bobgrows (treated with BudBusterPro, entering 12/12 today)

Black Snow (THC) from @anonymous4289 (treated with BudBusterPro, entering 12/12 today)

It feels very weird that this is all I have to show but everything else is outside!
Thanks for checking in regardless! lol

You need a micro pool outside.

Mrs Foreigner’s father got a giant 14’ round trough and added all the pool fixings and now has a tiny little funny pool.

I’ve been looking for a used one for forever! The clawfoot tub waa initially for this but since it’s from 1908 we don’t wanna risk lead.

There’s a 3M lead test kit ($20?? IIRC) that will answer that question.

Cheers

Upgraded the 4x4’s exhaust!

I now have the duct boosting fan pulling air from 2x 6" tubes on both sides of the tent and the Vivosun 6" is blasting out it’s own port finally!

All this was routed through a “Y” out 1x 6" port. I’m installing 1x 6" backdraft vent per inline fan down here in hopes of being able to do indoor runs during the summer.

Thanks for the love @Pawsfodocaws ! I did run 3x UP_BX1 beans and all were studly males. The studliest made the “Horny Horse Cherry Red Shit Fest F1” which I still need to send out the first round of gifts; which you are included :smiley:

I’ve been distracted by my outdoors space and the good weather so my hope is if i can stabilize the basement’s climate I could run one or two UPBX1’s lol.

Man, that exhaust setup is fantastic. I’m just getting by with mine, but I think after this run I may try to redesign something. Nice work.

I got the backdraft blockers as my ports to the outside. They are pressure-fit mounted into 3/4" plywood and the outside facing part is covered in reflectix and there’s a “rim” I made of rolled-up relflectix to allow the baffles within the backdraft blocker to allow them to fully open and not be blocked by my screen window (which I refuse to remove or cut for this so I don’t worry about things crawling back in.

This window is “blocked” by my scrap 4x8 sheets of plywood on the “storage” side of the house… which is the same side my neighbour uses to store HIS spare lumber so we are basically two :it: men in agreement of this clutter space lol. (part of my family blood has roots in Sicily).

The bonus is that our feral cats used this space for the coldest parts of the winter as it was basically “heated” by my garden :rofl:

Yay! Super setup, I may also need install advice if/when it gets to that point with my indoor garden. :wink:

TGIF! Have a wonderful Friday! :grin: :sun_behind_small_cloud:

And now today shall be making the next round of oil!

In this batch the whole Earth Lover CBD plant that I grew in the 1L air-pot has cured a few weeks and smells AMAZING and I ended up with about 17g of really nice flower to work with.

Pulling it apart by hand was both a good idea and a bad idea as my fingers stuck to EVERYTHING when I was done. lol

Getting all the kit together before tossing the tray into the new oven.

My pre-heating test showed 220f will equate to 230f in this convection oven so I’m all set with the most control i’ve ever had doing this. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I still need to replace my old beater of an analogue redundancy oven thermometer but that’ll be next trip to Crappy Tire.

It stay in there for 2x 20 minute intervals at 230f where the middle “break” was to stir around the flower to ensure even heat distribution. The house STANK SO GOOD during this decarb! lol. :skunk: :rose:

After it was done I tossed all the flower into a 1qt jar and poured-over 1cup of MCT oil followed by very lightly pushing down on the mass to ensure it was all submerged in the oil before sealing it up and putting it in the sous-vide water-bath.

I hit the edge of the float point for the jar with mass so what counts is very well covered and the top of the lid is out of the water. I want as much water in here as possible to ensure I don’t have to top it off during the process which would fuck up the temperature.

To help with keeping as much liquid in there as possible this all gets covered up with some aluminum foil; which also helps keeps the temps stable so the machine needs to do less work.

It’s all running now and set to 165f with a running time of 2 hours and 30 minutes + the ramping up and ramping down time from and to room temperature.

Now for a nap lol.

:grin: :metal:

HawHaw. Yes and as a bonus, when you are done you can throw the gloves in the freezer for an hour and when you pull them out all that ‘sticky’ goodness just pops right off, ready for the bong.
