lol thanks, you should check out my other works in “cannabis microscopy” and I posted a collection of crazy photos in “trichome shots!” as well. Soon I’ll have a new camera for the microscope. Probably take 5 weeks to get here…

did you have to go heavy on the nutes in general or just the PK ?
my Arcata is showing yellow tips as well and I’m trying to sort out the tweak.
I’m doing a worm casting and rabbit poo top dressing in a couple days to see if that helps.
the new growth is showing yellow only on the tips, so my thoughts are just a little N ratio issue.
Now I’m really cranking off a batch! It’s big bud, so there’s gonna be hash-o-plenty! I think I cranked in 750+ grams or some shit. Enough to get back probably 30 grams, who knows

I have to do some major hash making, the freezer was totally filled up after that last harvest! I don’t even know how much I can stuff in there.10 kilos? Well that’s enough to make 434 grams of hash. Too bad it’s not 10 keys of big bud lol! one day I’ll have to measure how much bud it takes to fill that sucker.
stupid variable speed drill seems like it’s starting to fail. I bought that thing over 10 years ago, I 'spose it’s had a good run. Might just be oxides on the switch or carbon brushes are getting worn down. I’ll get a new one but I’ll probably take this one apart as well. This batch was a slipknot one, I think heavy metal increases yield

I’m not sure which hash I should enter in the contest. I know I should enter the meat breath buds in the bud contest, but I’m not sure if I should enter the meat breath one or the big bud.I don’t think there is a way to game the system the judging is subjective qualitative analysis. No fancy optics! I’ll take a photo of them side by side. Try and get a good view.
color is slightly different but the godamned size…of the thing… ok but the meat breath one is good…but shit man…lookit that… heh heh the big bud one is fruity, and the meat breath one is spicy!

heh heh I seen some of the contestants around the neighborhood. They know I’m making a heavy hitter entry… I’ve been running my mouth all over town
Super gorgeous I think you’ll do well with many so hard to choose 
, have you ever tried rosin from your stuff?

Hey thanks! You are definitely listing one of my dreams. I think I have settled on pressing some big bud to see what the rosin extraction is like. If I can get 4 to 1 on rosin extraction, it would definitely be worthwhile. That’s my main goal to see if it’s worth investing in a rosin press. I will definitely be extracting that real world data and also viewing the extract in phase contrast. It all depends on how I feel about possible exposure to other humans.

Yeah some incredible quality I see from bubble hash rosin, 4 to 1 I hear is possible from really good stuff I’ve seen some videos with higher yields… I am getting some plates I hope it’ll be some nice stuff I wanna eventually get some bags and do bubble.
it’ll be quite cool to see how it looks if you get a press I think your stuff would be top tier, thca from presses is also very interesting the diamonds some people are making is just wild

Yeah 4 to 1 via rosin pressing is doable. I am currently growing, curing and pressing Jack Herer. The returns vary on what part of the plant the flower came from but varies between 23% to 27% and that was with issues during the grows so a better gardener can do better again. That is a 4 to 1 return. If I can do it then you will smash it.

I must add though. There is more taste if you do a bubble run then press the bubble. However, I do not know if you would get the same amount of return doing it that way. I imagine a little less return.

holy shitballs of fire! Now that competition was fierce! The things I saw…the dabs I took! You have to understand… I only made one entry for each. Some people made several. lol! Having said that, I came in 4th on the concentrates. The buggers who beat me took their bubble hash and melted it into rosin. I talked to them all after the competition, and there was one thing I noticed - we all used fresh frozen buds. They called it “live resin” or some such. Here’s some proof it was real
I took this one home as the spoils of victory.

shit here’s one that defeated me.
never mind the black stupid bits from someone’s dabbing tool. This hash was killer. I rated it as high as mine on the score!

the quantity of isolates and crystals of thc…oh man so many vials of liquids. I could bathe in that shit. IT came from legal producers all over the province. And people working for legal producers. Extractors and whatnot. hah hah working for brand names you no doubt heard of or saw on tv. LOL I know I saw them on TV. This year it was next level shit. Someone got booted out for contaminated weed. 20 flower entries and 7 concentrates. No turds anymore, the whole thing was reformed with stricter rules. And when I say turd I’m talking about brown hash that looks like a turd. Here’s a hash that enraged me because of it’s inferiority!

I guess you know what that means…next level shit I have to press my hash into rosin if I hope to defeat them next year. I WILL be analyzing this hash under the microscope and it’s not my hash. So that’s going to be super exciting! I grabbed samples of three.
