Excellent, I just did that this afternoon. 
Glad to see I was on the right track. The coffee filter didnāt catch a lot, but certainly someā¦ that would be an ugly extra step without vacuum filtration, though. Apparently making RSO also helps with cloning, who knew?

Damn @Nagel420 youāve got a lot of irons in the fire over there bud! Real curious about that GDP, I copped some beans from johnnys x-mas sale recently, waiting on them to show, but thatās one thatās been on the list for a while and Iām real stoked to check it out. Are those bonsai moms in some kind of SIP setup? I just went through and read oldtimers bonsai mom thread again, trying to do it to my good medicine cuts to keep āem around for a while. Everything looks awesome dude!!

If you bastids had any idea the restraint I show around here your jaws would drop 
I was actually thinking yesterday I need to look through my collection and see what I have in auto thatās got a real nice energy to it like WW. I need to grow some clean your house shit. I have some WW in photo but if I think I may have a cross with it in auto and if I do I think itās time.

Its an ILGM GDP, nothing special unfortunately. I am still seeking a GDP similar to some I had from a cali dispensary in the mid 2000ās. Just LOVED her taste and high and havenāt found anything the same. I will say, the buds are nice and dense, trimming wasnāt bad, and the taste is pretty good, but not that cali dispensary GDP I had LOL. Been sneaking a few nugs cause it tastes so good, but I really should give it the full cureā¦
They are in those mini octopots that a few of us on here have been playing with:
@firehead showed us in Micro Octopot Grow - Overgrow.com
@SaintAliasKnife and @GramTorino have been playing with em as wellā¦
You and me both! Indica was always hard to find here, so now that I am growing it, I went all INdica LOLā¦ But it doesnāt help you stay motivated or get shit done, thats for sure! ROFL Supposedly thereās some Sativa to the Blueberry Jack Herer (and thus in Black n Blue Jack), as well as in the Tycho Monolith autos I haveā¦

Those octopups are still out of stock
I really like the idea of those for some moms
Iāll keep an eye out for them

I gotta thinkā¦ Thereās nothing particularly specialized about emā¦a 5G bucket, or even a square cat litter bucket (with a full lid not that hinged stuff) would be very similar. Holesaw for the netpot, felt pot on top. Other than size of the 5g, its the same premise (and a cat litter bucket might even be closer).
The Amazon ones come and go for stock. I imagine its all the posts on cannabis forums, cause one day thereās 10 or 12 in stock, them WHAM! all goneā¦

I prefer less speedy shit in general but itās good to have. WW gets me moving and Iām talking like one hit and do shit because itās an uncomfortable high to sit and dwell on for me. What I got off of a single WW plant would least me forever.
I will definitely be scooping up some of those mini octopots too! Nice way to dip my toes in the water and see if I want to pursue the legit bigger ones at some point.

Iāve posted this like 8 times and you guys just keep on trying to buy them on Amazonā¦ Iāve been using the same damn system as the Octopots for years, before anyone ever came up with a cool name and branded it. I got it from Ed Rosenthalās book, which is nearly 40 years old. I just put wicking material on the bottom layer of the fabric pot and let it sit in the reservoir instead. If I let the plants get big enough and keep the reservoir full, roots will grow out the bottom of the pot into the reservoir rather than going completely rootbound. I prefer not to because one way or another, netpot or roots coming through the holes in the stitching, it weakens the pot for future runsā¦ but itās an option.
Notice the line drawn on the reservoir? That matches up with the level of the wicking material in the bottom of the pot. I have the lids with holes carved in them up in the attic somewhere, to block the light from reaching the water. What I need now is to amend my soil so I can stop feeding and just go with water. 
Otherwise, Octopot or DIY, it doesnāt work great with the āsolubleā organic food that isnāt really soluble and tends to congeal after a week or so.

I should have figured! I know johnnys all hot on figuring out a DIY method for those. Gotta keep an ear to the ground on how you guys like em.
Iāve heard so many people go on about that old cali GDP, I guess thatās what Iām chasing too ultimately, having never tried that specifically Iām really just after some good taste and a nice, relaxing, therapeutic high.
This was the diesel I grew a couple years back for me, itās what leaves me kinda in the fence about sativas, if I was going snowboarding or fishing or just being up and about it was great, but if I tried to sit down and chill I got all anxious, not a fun feeling at all. That said Iāve heard a lot of folks talk about lighter effect sativas that I think sound like the way to go, so Iām looking into those. Got high hopes for the Tangie F2s I was able to acquire

Yeah but I want mine to be pretty and made for me 
A dispensary here had Tangie and it was a comfortable sativa for me. It had a little bit of pick up to it but I could also just smoke it and chill without the anxiety. I really liked it.

The very next post, the subject is back to āfiguring outā a way to DIY them, so no worries. I donāt think my method is taking off any time soon.

@Nagel420 Wow! Rarely have I seen such a group of top strains in one grow space!! Congrats!! Simply amazing!

This āwicking materialā at the bottom, with the whole felt pot essentially also being a giant wick, doesnāt keep the soil mix too wet? I do have felt pots in trays, but they are filled with mix. If I always kept an inch of water in the trays they would be way too wetā¦
Fill the bottom of a pot with an inch or two of hydroton perhaps, then the soil mix? That might transfer less water, but I still wonder about the wicking ability of the felt itselfā¦
sighā¦ more possible experiments! lolā¦

Good point, that was a bit non-specific. I use growstone, or more lately its more expensive cousin ābuddystone,ā which is essentially a recycled glass substitute for perlite/hydroton. It wicks fairly slowly and doesnāt hold a lot of water itself. I also use it for aeration as part of the soil mix. I expect perlite and hydroton would work too, with slight variations on wicking speed perhaps.

Soā¦ I tested this todayā¦
Other than printing the feed funnel (aint cutting the kitchen one up!) it worked perfectlyā¦
Then this happened:
Not the most amazing return, but for my first press? Iāll take it. I am sure thereās lots for me to learn to maximize each press,
First taste? Used a Terp Slurper on my glass, gotta add a pic of that here, I couldnāt find ANYTHING on OG about a Terp Slurper and had to rely on Youtube. Well, first taste? Barely felt the smoke, absolutely tasted the terpenes, and one and done baby. The smallish returns donāt bother me so much now, since it took such a little amount to make me smile. I am sure I will get better returns as I practice more.
In two words? Fuckinā Delicious!!!
Iād say today was all in all a productive day, and I can enjoy the fruit of my labor now. 
ps. for those of you who press flower, what are you doing with your āpucksā afterwards? I assume you can reuse the bags as well, freeze them to break off remaining rosin?

Good shit! Iām not going to ask you what it cost to print that but if you were so inclined how much would you be able to sell those for if people were interested? The one I saw online was a few hundred bucks so if you could beat the competitionās prices on it you might have a nice little side hustle!

Personally I press 95-100% of my harvest and I use the rosin pucks to make oil with. Depending on how I am going to dose/use the oil will depend on how I make it. Usually I will do 16oz oil 12-15 pucks and 14-20g CBD hemp to make oil, but last night I made a little more concentrated batch. First I extracted 30 pucks into 16oz oil, strained and then cooked the oil again with 25-30g CBD hemp. Results can vary but dosage has a bit to do with it. I made a batch a while ago with 10 pucks, 5g flower and 20g CBD hemp, I made half of a mug brownie with 1.5 teaspoons of oil (Half the usual that me
and Pluckyevil would share of our usual oil) and needless to say it thumped. Ate on an empty stomach and by the time my food arrived I I thought uncle Joey had dosed me with a few stars of death lol. Needless to say I usually just put the oil into 00 capsules now heh.
So it can be worth it to process the pucks indeed. Just wait till you have 10-20 pucks and then try making some oil. I usually pack my press bags with about 10g flower now a days for a reference.
