Vernal's Basement Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Lefty’s Cherry Queen F2 at 33 days. Hitting the downslope. Blooms hard and fast. Plant “I” my keeper.

Should have thinned out the branches a bit better but it’s doing alright. Harvest 56-63.

Hash. Mixed grades, mix of frozen and dry, mostly popcorn buds but a couple ounces of trim too.

Yield wasn’t as good as last run but the quality is a little better. Super melty. Mix of Cherry Queen F2 “G” and Super Silver Cough F2 “E”.

Stunning pictures!

In your opinion, in general, what did the cough do to your crosses?

Did you find it to increase the flower time and lengthen the plant in general?

Also what effect does it have on flavor? I want to try all those cough crosses :yellow_heart::heart::+1:t2:

The Cough dominant stuff seems to be relatively uniform. Big ass colas, extreme stretch, 12-13 week flower time. Hazey-herbaceous-sharp-earthy…really no fruit or sweet at all. I kind of describe it as the scent of landrace narrowleafs but much stronger. I feel like the ones in the middle are best.

I suffer from hash envy. Which is funny because I’ve got some awesome stuff myself.

Looking good.

I do to a degree. I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and level of care that goes into the super high quality stuff. They don’t ever have a cat hair or a leaf fragment in theirs, theirs is microplaned fresh frozen beach sand. Single source nug run 5 star etc etc…and of course the insane rosin from the absolute best of the best…IG rosin pics make me feel small haha.

However, if you’re like me and are just gonna cram it in a chillum and roast it with a BIC lighter like me…are 5% returns on fresh top quality nugs worth it? I’ll settle for good full melt any day.

A lot of the younger generation quite literally don’t even know what bubble hash is. I broke off big chunk and gave it to a coworker and they had to ask me what to even do with it lol.

And I hear ya 100%, I am always my own harshest critic…no matter how good I do I can always think of someone doing it better. Comparison is the thief of joy and all that haha.

I remember even as a kid hash was something rare and special. In retrospect it was pretty good although we didn’t know it back then.

I’ve also been asked “how am I supposed to smoke this?” People are really missing out.

It’s not cost effective from a commercial standpoint. The flower is much more valuable. Bubble hash sells for $31.95g on the legal market here. I checked. That makes my bubble that came from a half pound worth around $400. Granted it’s all larf, but still.

I make hash for the simple reason that it’s my favourite. $$$ be damned. It’s the high priced scotch of the weed world as far as i’m concerned.

And yours looks awesome and delicious.

People have asked me how much it goes for and I’m like…I have no idea lol. When I was younger, on the rarer occasion we even had the opportunity to buy it, it was $20/g and definitely not as good as what I can make now. More like pressed kief quality. More dry, hard, and sandy blonde than dark and squishy, it’d burn before it melted. I think they were just beating the shit out of theirs for them yieldz.

I am digging this thread. Bummed I just now found it. I am going to hang around for a bit. You sound like you are doing some things over there, and I think I like what I am hearing. Great work.

Thanks dog, I sure give it my all in my little basement. Small but mighty. Take your shoes off, sit a spell.

I have an older thread as well if it piques your interest. Just figured the virus purge was a good starting point for a fresh one.

Agreed. And I make mine in the bathtub and use the pressing screen in a dish on my toilet. Condo living.

Super Silver Cough F2 “F” at 55 days. Thinking harvest around 70? This plant reeeks. Brushing up against it lingers on clothes or hands for a long time. It’s kushy, skunky, earthy, dank, vetiver-like.

Mango Nigerian Cough F2 “E” at 58 days. So fuckin’ jazzed on this plant. Reminds me so much of my Bandaid Haze 8 but a few differences. More magenta than purple, pungent blue cheese on top of the floral sweet haze musty haze funk. Grows like trainwreck, most of the branches are more or less horizontal. Viney to a fault. 100% keeper. Got a clone of this ready to replace this one. Planning to harvest in 3 weeks.

Wow that mango Nigerian cough looks absolutely amazing.

Thanks man, she’s a real winner. Got it goin’ on. Too smelly to lose scent in jars but it would break my heart if it did. Good yields too, basically a bud carpet of flopped over little haze neckbones. Enormous fluffy colas are nice but whenever possible, I like the chunky leafless neckbones. I absolutely despise trimming.

Once I heard I could buy hash at the dispo, I got stoked. I’d heard about 710 Labs from Denver and was really looking forward to some high quality hash. I think it was even my birthday maybe, but some reason I was gonna treat myself.

I wandered over to a place close to me and while waiting to go back I asked the girl the price of the bubble hash; $80 a gram. My heart sunk… I wasn’t prepared to treat myself quite that good, lol, and went home. I bet that shit is so good though.

Wow.

For what it’s worth I did a little research on the $31 hash and it really doesn’t look all that good. I haven’t tried it or even handled it so I can’t say for sure but it looks a little green. It doesn’t look uniformly lovely more like a peppery dust.

All the best.

Usually dispo bubble hash is the primo beach sand fresh frozen shit. They almost never have like the good melty brown bubble we’re familiar with.

It’s good but good blow is barely worth 80/gram IDK about anything cannabis lol.

My thoughts exactly. I never went back, lmao. I have heard great things about 710 Labs, but don’t care at that price. I bet it’s cheaper at their place in Denver or a different shop. The one I went into was right next to a major Shell gas station on the first exit into town, lol… It’s probably the most expensive one on town.

I’m surprised, but the dispos are popping up at all of the interstate exits in the southern part of the state. Some states won’t even let stores sell beers at Exit gas stations. I know they want to be the first to catch the Texans coming from south.

My neighbor works at a place called Magnolia Road. It’s the only shop that I always see a line outside. He told me he can get me anything at his cost but I always forget. I need to check to see if he has hash at their place.

Mango Nigerian Cough F2 “E” at 65. Harvested. Could have used another week for the lowers but the plant was quickly declining. Fall colors on all the leaves, not drinking hardly anything, even low strength late flower feeds, no white pistils. In many ways just like my purple bandaid haze but an improved version, faster and better yields. Easy trim plant; hardly any leaf to begin with. Buds under the light went magenta, buds further away stayed green with hints of purple.

Intense indolic floral-funk, soapy, musty basement incensey haze. Keepin’ it!
