@other_barry's grow logs and general nonsense

[other_barry]

When making my first few grow logs, I wasn’t really sure if I should keep one long thread, or start a new one for each grow. I have gone with the latter, but this is going to be a listing of those threads, which I will just edit as time goes on, and a place to just bs if you feel like it.

chit-chat and tom foolery are strongly encouraged!

Current Grow(s):

That BBD Energy

I meant to do this run a while back. I’ve been a little overwhelmed by life, and have not had anything growing since January. I dropped 6 Blueberry Diesel from @anonymous4289 [PXL_20230511_223038189.~2_exported_1686_1683844328477] [PXL_20230513_205129448~2] I’ll give them a little more time in the desk drawer before moving them to solo cups.

Past Grows:

Tropicanna Poison F1 Fast Version - first diary

Just found this site, have 2 of these going atm This is my first attempt at a diary, so all feedback/input is welcome and appreciated. I can not stress that enough. I am definitely nowhere close to “I know what I’m doing” status, lol Got that pack a while back. I started 2, one literally jumped out of the starter cube when it sprouted, and I could not get it to recover from that. (Now I start in paper towels, and move to the cubes once they opened. The other I ran, but I think I harvested ea…

OB's First Autos

As it says, I have never tried autos. The two I have chosen for this run are: Bubblegum (T H Seeds) [bbgum] Moby Dick XXL (Dinafem) [MDxxl] I was going to run Dark Devil, but that bean went flying on me. New bag opening protocols have been put in place I have some of the pollen from my Tropicanna Poison run, so assuming it stays good long enough, I will brush it on to 1 bud on each plant. Haven’t messed with controlled pollination either, yet. So we shall see how i…

Next up, MAC

I have a clone of Cap’s cut, that I set up to mother some more clones. They will be run in a 3x3 with an XS2000. Primarily fed with GH 3 part, Botanicare CalMag, HydroGuard, and probably Silica. I will throw in some MOAB for pk once we get to flower. Since they are the same strain, I set them up in my older, multi-plant DWC systems. Current stats Temp - 78F RH - 45% pH - 6.25 ec - .5 The new clones just started showing roots over the weekend, so I may have moved them a little quicker than …

Cookieland Testers

[image] Here is the original post from @Purple-N-Hairy My Setup 4x5 vivosun tent (first run with this tent. the zipper doesnt seem very great so far) SF4000 6" ACInfinity fan DWC DIY single plant builds in 5 gallon craftsman buckets GH 3 part / Botanicare CalMag, Silica Blast, HydroGuard / MOAB (later) I have a couple Cookieland testers that I am running. I had trouble with germ on a couple so the 2 I am running are not very sync’ed up. (I was trying diff methods for the first time, so I a…

Red Hot Cookies

Will fill this in better over the next couple days, but creating the placeholder now. Starting a run with 3 Red Hot Cookies, and 1 Tropicanna Poison The RHC were donated by @FiveGar. Strain created by Sweet Seeds. The TP were made on my previous run. Strain created by Sweet Seeds. (Because I these were Fast x Fast, this bean has a chance of being an auto, but its really just me messing around, so whatever ends up happening is fine) The plan is to manifold each plant, and once I have 8 bra…

Other_barry and the Ogreberry Chronicles (Adam's Winner)

[image] Alright Ladies and Gentledudes, https://media0.giphy.com/media/gIYPWEMHF8x9OCCkaZ/source.gif(image larger than 700 KB) I put 2 of these beans into damp makeup pads yesterday, and today they have little tails. I moved them into RapidRooters, and into their tote. This run, I am going to try using Jacks again. Had a stoner moment and did the initial seedling nutes with GH, but I will switch to Jacks on the next fill. The new ph pen shows a vastly different value than my previous pen, …

Blueberry Thunderdome

4 Blueberry plants, 1 tent… 1 winner (its me, if this run goes well) The plan was initially to pollen chuck some blueberry with the NL2 I got from AGseedCo (I got f2, they currently have NL2 ibl), but I realized I had a few blueberry beans, and I wasn’t sure which would be best. I ordered a 4 slot 3.9 gallon AutoPot. I’m gonna try coco for the first time, with Jacks nutes. The beans were just put into damp makeup pads, in ziplock bags. I will be planting 1 of each of these: Dutch Passion - B…

[vaportrail]

Great idea-

[other_barry]

Thanks Was unsure if I should, or if it was just because I was bored and stoned. lol

Trying to find a new video game atm

[vaportrail]

I’m having beers-

Hey, Lent 2022 has officially ended…

[Maddawg]

Hope you don’t mind…
I am going to pull up a chair and sneak a peak every now and then!

So many great plant choices!

[BigMike55]

You say chit-chat and tomfoolery are encouraged. What about Bru-ha-ha? That’s like tomfoolery on steroids.

[other_barry]

Bring it! We are always looking to expand our portfolio.

@Maddawg thanks

[BigMike55]

I enjoy mucho banter in my thread too.
All work and no play makes Mike a dull boy.

Saw this on reddit the other day, then found it on Amazon. Should be here tomorrow

Amazon.com: 2 Piece Herb Grinder with Holes by Mason Grinder - Large Mouth - 2...

Hopefully it makes grinding larger amounts, a little easier

[Rhino_buddy]

That’s funny. I sometimes use my old space case grinder with the bottom removed, set on top of a wide mouth mason jar.

It fits perfectly over the lip but doesn’t screw on like that one. Nice find!

[other_barry]

That’s pretty cool. The only other large grinders I had seen before this one were the large space cases at the head shop, but those were pretty pricey (was also something like 10 years ago)

[Rhino_buddy]

Yeah my space case is from when I worked at a head shop in 99-01. I can’t say I paid for it.

[other_barry]

It got here today. Can’t wait to take it for a spin

[other_barry]

I just hit MAC1 Rosin I made with my new dab press. This is nice.

My first try was with some, not so great, bubblegum. It made the parchment wet looking, but that was about it.

Frustrated by a 7g and a 10g attempt (i dont really care about the bubblegum, it was about the L), I loaded 10g of MAC in the pre-press, and that seemed really loose in the bag. So I put it back in the pre-press and added 4g. that was better. Still might have been able to get a little more in there.

I pressed the MAC once, and got 1.6g, but saw there was still some on the bag, and saw a video where they recommended folding it in half and pressing it again. So I did.

I didn’t have it centered very well.

Second time around there was .6g more. Then I noticed another .3g that ran down the side of the press. 2.5g rosin from 14g flower on my first day. Seems like an ok starting place, tho all the cool kids on youtube talk about that 20% mark, so I still have room to improve

I’m gonna toss that 2.1g in the fridge and tomorrow it will get decarbed and used to make gummies.

[vaportrail]

Looks like you’re getting it figured out-

Rosin gummies sound delicious…

[Rhino_buddy]

I’m interested in your homemade press. Mind sharing your setup?

Also that grinder is pretty badass. Good find.

[other_barry]

The press isnt homemade. I bought a 4 ton starter from Dabpress.

Upgraded DABPRESS 4 Ton Starter Rosin Press for Home Use - 3x5 Heated Plates...

[other_barry]

[Rhino_buddy]

Gotcha. Sorry, I somehow got the impression you made it.

[other_barry]

I am thinking of ways to upgrade it. At the bottom of that link I posted, they have a video where a guy removed the bottle jack and replaced it with a 5 ton electric car jack, that he hooked up a key fab controller to. There are too many custom pieces to that build but I would like something other than this bottle jack, at some point.
