Foreigner Goes Legal

Cheers man. No we stayed in town but it was still a hectic weekend.

Yes autos for sure. It’s mostly a question of what’s on my spreadsheet. Wait, I don’t have a spread sheet. I’ll need to go digging by hand through my stash. I’ve got some good options I just need to find them.

Off the top of my head I’ll probably go sparkle reiko fastbuds and fog dog but none of it is in stone.

No dice on the greenhouse. Even if allowed (but I would probably win) it wouldn’t survive the winds up here. You should have seen the tornado of shit that the storm whipped up. Cushions, bags, rugs, all ripped off of balconies and swirling through the air.

It’ll work out. Besides, apart from necessary beta testing I haven’t touched last years. I forgot about them and found them in a cupboard.

I might even use miracle grow again :rofl:

Get on that shit bruv! :rofl:

I got 1x going right now after my winter run of 1x.

:arrow_right: 100% DO RECOMMEND :arrow_left:

If you do, take notes so if you succeed we can share! My dad’s plant grew crazy with him using only 20-20-20 for veg and then 15-30-15 for flower and it would have been fantastic if he didn’t keep it next to a pool and with the microclimate he left it in it just rotted after getting PM. :man_facepalming:

I gave 4 plants away to all first time growers and only 1 person made it to harvest lol.

I’m more likely to spend lots of time writing it on a cocktail napkin and then lose the napkin.

The fog dog does look nice from what I’ve seen so she’s in contention for sure.

I plan to start a few more than I’ll need so I can give some away too. It’s funny what works out and what doesn’t. I’ve given away plants to people who ended up with 7’ trees and some that didn’t make it above 10”

It’s mostly for fun anyway. Some of them claim they don’t want to smoke it (they lie). I’m happy to break a few off for their octogenarian enjoyment :rofl:

So I’ve gone and done it this time.

Yes. I bought something from the OCS. Yes, I know I know.

A little backstory to absolve me of responsibility: Mrs Foreigner was scrolling the website looking for stealthy pens for upcoming summer events. So I started to look at hash and found this.


This tek is pretty much the same as mine with some differences in temp and pressure. I had to compare.

It’s pretty:


But very different from mine. This is like a stiff glass and doesn’t appear to have completely smushed the trichs.

It gives a little under its own weight, which is good.

It bubbles, a little. It tastes bright and citrusy but kind of gets gross at the end of the hit.

Mine bubbles more. I was hoping this would be similar to mine but it’s a very different product. This isn’t a “my hash is better than your hash” but I think mine is better.

If you ask me directly I will tell you what it cost. It’s obscene and I’m embarrassed. But all in the name of science! Or curiousity. Or impulse buying. One of those.

Welcome back to the world after the long weekend.

Cheers

You will make fun of me. It was $55 a gram.

Hey, if it were local I would buy it. I am testing out a new Dab Mod and struggling trying to make my own material. I picked up a Nug-Press and am going through the learning curve. My yields have been so poor that I feel like I am just wasting weed.

Yeah, I would buy that right now…

I don’t need to… you have Mrs. F to dish that out to you lol.

It’s really pretty nice. I don’t know if it’s $55 nice. I’m a little disappointed because I was hoping for an apples to apples comparison. But it’s pretty good. If expensive.

I don’t know much about pressing but I can tell you my bubble yields hover around 7% last run I turned a 1/2 pound into a half ounce of nice hash.

She didn’t tell me how much her pen cost which means it’s VERY expensive. So she can’t do too much damage.

Yeah OCS isn’t all terrible. At least with the vapes and concentrates there are some controls in place so you’re probably not ingesting concentrated pesticides and who knows what else from unscrupulous cash croppers.

I figured it’s something like $750-1000 to buy what you made, via raw materials or finished product? Doubt the quality would be as good as homegrown though.

It’s really pretty good. Great eye appeal and nice bright flavour. My criticisms are incomplete burning near the end, mid rate bubbling and it doesn’t meet my desires in terms of workability.

If I wasn’t a horrible snob drowning in weed I’d be much more impressed. But I’m hard to impress.

Closer to rosin on the hash spectrum.

Yes, your math is about correct if we’re talking high retail I think. I also figure that in the past 3 years I’ve saved over 10k by growing so $55 on a lark isn’t too bad.

Doing the math is hard though. Homegrown costs, for me, are ~$100 a run all in for +/- a pound. I ran half a run so the raw material was ~$50. I always consider my labour free in such calculations.

So growers costs are 15g for $50 plus my effort which puts my hash at ~$3 a gram.

It’s also silly to me to buy anything weed related. It makes me roll my eyes as I enjoy the self sufficiency that growing affords. It’s hard to justify when I’ve got cupboards of material just sitting there (literally) collecting dust on the jars.

“I can’t sell it to you but even if I could you couldn’t afford it.”

Next up - 100% single strain(mostly) Everyday Haze Hash run. We will find out what happens when I turn a super sativa into hash. No idea what to expect, but we will find out. This is probably a next week kind of project. The final EDH is drying right now and should probably come down tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with reminding yourself why what you make is better.

I like to say, “you can’t buy what I smoke”.

Sorry, been watching ninja turtles again.

That ball of hash looks captivating though. I like the pattern. Reminds me those late 90’s Logitech track balls used by those who didn’t have a regular mouse.

Absolutely. It’s easy to forget.

Ain’t it the truth…

We used to steal all the rubber balls out of the mice to foil computer class. Logitech for the win!

It does look very neat. Sand encased in glass maybe. It’s cool anyway.

$55 a gram. No wonder my friends love my hash so much. :smiley:

I know. It’s nuts.

It’s funny when someone new comes over and are asked if they know what they’d like to smoke.

“Well, what do you have?”
“Everything.”

:rofl:

Well…this was a nice surprise.

EDH
Plant 1 - 90g
Plant 2 - 210g
Plant 3 - 120g

Almost a pound off 3 plants in a 2x4.

I knew this one was going to be the yielder but I didn’t know it would be by such a large margin.

Yes it took 13 weeks which should be factored into the metric but I’m at 1.5g per/watt which is pretty good.

Think I will get to hash making next week when Mrs Foreigner is away and I can make a mess as I please.

Will this all fit in my 5 gallon bubble bags…:thinking:

I dunno :love_you_gesture:
