Haha, no, I cleaned it out a few weeks back. Had to dump boiling water into the pan a couple times, then ran it through the dishwasher and then soaked a paper towel in rubbing alcohol to wipe off all the little bits that were still stuck on there.
I’m gonna do it again pretty soon, though, really seems like a very easy way to make hash.
It does make nice compost 
I was more thinking of making rosin, or tinctures. I tried pressing some… that was unsuccessful, and messy!
I really don’t make hash anymore. I do make tinctures. I think I’d read that too much water in an alcohol extraction made for a less than desirable end product, but I haven’t tried that, so whadda I know? Any suggestions for tincturing it?
I will try the glass jar. And you just made me think maybe I could spread some on parchment paper in the freezer a la @JoeCrowe , and see if that dried it. But your comments about cell walls bursting and chlorophyll make that sound less than attractive 
Haven’t had curry in a while, though, might be an interesting Thanksgiving side 
lol! You can all see what happened when I freeze dried the weed. That’s how the industry works up here, it’s all freeze dried. The upside? terp preservation. The downside? It takes… 30 days 
Here are before and after images, sorry about the blur on the after image, but I smoked the buds already. They were grrrrrrrr-ATE!
fresh live resin concentrate from the outdoor harvest

several different textures
several different textures of ethiopian afghani strawberry

a big pile of berry larry #4 bud
goji og x (larry og x gdp)
a couple grams of bl4 live resin concentrate made with bud and trim
a lot of pictures because it looks cool.
Really retains the gas smell in the concentrate. tastes kind of like sweet iced tea and gas.
Looks like some kind of fancy desert, but too bad it tastes like iced tea 
Do you ever mix them together? Just wondering for when I get around to making more.
A southerner who doesn’t like iced tea? For shame!
Yeah, normally I just mix them together. It all comes from one batch, but as it evaporates it kind of naturally separates into oil, keefy crystal, wax, and shatter.
I just separate it like that for fun. sometimes they hit slightly differently or have a slightly different flavor.
Batches made with dried bud generally come out more homogenous than the live resin.
Maybe black tea would be a better description, like a rich mild tannic flavor.
not that thick syrupy restaurant style sweet tea- maybe I’d like that stuff if I was a hummingbird.
Even our Southern hummers won’t touch that stuff…
you gained your good taste credibility back
hybrid outdoor harvest went pretty smooth this year. everything was about %50 pollinated by the ethiopian afghani #10 males, and the seeds finished ripening nice and quick. everything finished in time not to get wrecked by the rains. Ethiopians all turned out great. Little bit of bud rot on the archive blueberry and obama, but no mildew at all this year.
The lineup was:
ethiopian banana x omg ‘nectarine’
ethiopian paintbrush x omg ‘strawberry’
obama clone
archive blueberry clones
blue dream (sc blue dream clone)
all trimmed, turned into hash, or safely dried on the branch and ready to dry trim. Seeds are looking very good.
The pure sativa China Cangshan are still doing their thing, should be finished within 2 weeks. They look crazy out there with their massive tops swaying around in the wind and rain high above the garden.
Only the CC#2 rooted, so looks like this is the last season for the #1. It went out on a high note though- at least 15 feet high. I will miss this plant, but 4 years is a very good run for a very wild fast growing outdoor only plant that is difficult to clone and has to overwinter indoor.
So, wait… What’re the differences between the Ethiopian Afghani males and the EB/OMG “nectarine” and “strawberry” again (besides the obvious nectarine and strawberry)? Is the Afghani in the males different than the OMG in the Banana plants? Sorry, I can’t remember.
Anyway, sounds like a great lineup. I especially like the inclusion of that SC Blue Dream, really enjoyed the sample of that one when I tried it.
That comic is kind of amusing, too, in a really depressing sorta way haha.
The difference between my ethiopian banana x omg afghani “nectarine” pheno and ethiopian paintbrush x omg afghani “strawberry” pheno and “cherry” pheno clones is the pure ethiopian female mother that bodhi used.
They are made from two different ethiopian sister plants. Both are from testers.
I tested the banana x omg, and ran those plants from seed and then from clone for several rounds so I could give thorough feedback.
afterwards, bodhi sent me the paintbrush x omg as a gift for my long term medical use because it was such effective meds for my muscular disorder, and gave me permission to breed with both of these.
The original ethiopian banana clone from bodhi was given to doc d and stray, but bodhi has never officially released anything using the banana female. Doc d used it in his bananastan v1 and other hybrids.
the ethiopian paintbrush x omg is identical to the"god’s paintbrush" supernatural selections line that bodhi officially released in small numbers.
When it comes down to it both are very similar, but there’s an amazing variety in these lines so every plant is pretty unique so far.
The banana seems to have the potential to produce wilder heirloom type expressions, and plants with highs that are either very kind and gentle, or absolutely insane. I kept the nectarine because it gives me excellent meds, and is totally stable reliable and easy to grow. The high is kind of the best of both worlds- starts off gentle but throttles up to insane psychedlia with high doses.
(2 of the wildest sativa type phenos would sometimes pop late flower bananas but they were totally sterile with no pollen, and some phenos would autoflower under any lighting schedule when the plants were old enough. I wouldn’t consider it unstable, but a lot of variation and unusual landrace traits to be found.)
The paintbrush version offers similar and excellent highs, but is more consistent in structure and yields- phenotypical variation doesn’t swing as far towards those more extreme expressions. Very reliable plants.
Bodhi mentioned one other ethiopian sister pheno called “spider,” but as far as I know there were no testers from this plant. I found a “spider” plant structure pheno in the banana x omg, it was a true creeper vine that mostly shot out lateral growth and snaked through the other plants, creeping up their stems to steal the light. It was very cool. I loved it- it was the wildest sativa high I’ve ever experienced.
I guess bodhi probably thought it was too unusual to be useful for most people.
Okay, but the Afghani in all of them is the same OMG male? That’s what I was wondering about haha. I (mostly) remember the stuff about the various Ethiopian Banana phenos you’ve grown, just was unclear about the Afghani portion of each. I think I was confused yesterday haha, because what you wrote is pretty clear. For some reason I was thinking there were differences in the Afghani male part.
Anyway, yeah, that’s very interesting and cool about the different EB females. Although this:
drives me nuts haha. I mean, I get it, people don’t wanna grow “weird” plants, Bodhi’s gotta make a living etc etc. Still, though… Gawd. The unusual plants are the most fun! haha.
Yeah, same omg male for both ethiopian omg versions.
(You were probably thinking of the bananastan from doc d, which is the same ethiopian banana female with doc’s afkanastan x18 pakistani male. basically same cross with a different afghani used.)
Yeah, definitely. I would have loved to try the ethiopian spider version, a line that consistently produces creeper vines would be very cool and useful to some.
The other strain I tested for bodhi was goji razz x omg, and that also had unusual photoperiod flowering type traits. 2 out of 3 pheno had a very strange flowering trait- only the tops would flower. all the lower nodes and the lower branches stayed in veg. when I harvested the top buds, the next set of nodes and tops would flower. I never got a big harvest, but the plants stayed alive and produced a small quantity of bud every 50 days or so.
It was weird, but actually really really cool. I didn’t keep those phenos because they took up a lot of space compared to how much bud they produced, but if you only needed a little bit of bud, it would be an amazing plant. I was thinking if someone grew it outdoor in a meditteranean climate, the plant could probably produce all year round.
Like remember that scam canadian seed bank that had a fake strain called ‘forever plant’ or something like that? bodhi basically made that for real.
I let him know what happened, how I eventually culled those phenos and didn’t find them useful for my indoor, but told him I thought it could be interesting and desirable if people knew what to expect. It sounded like he wasn’t going to consider releasing it because they wouldn’t be good for veg and flip cash cropping, and it never was released.
But that was absolutely unique. I guess with the autoflowering ethiopian omg, and whatever was going on with the goji razz x omg, the omg male has some unusual photoperiod reactions depending on the combination with the female.
and 1 definite keeper out of 3 females isn’t bad. Can’t find many pictures, but here’s the goji razz x omg keeper that I ran for a few years. smelled and tasted exactly like vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and raspberries and a hint of lime. Sweet long lasting aftertaste and mouth coating sensation like heavy cream and freeze dried raspberries. Medium yield, small rock hard buds, not the most visually impressive plant but the dried bud was incredibly sticky and really shined with resin. The sweetest, smoothest, most flavorful weed I have ever smoked.
I’ve still got a few of those seeds, I should pop them. I doubt I would actually do anything with that odd flowering trait if I find that again, but would love another plant like this one.
It absolutely bested all the cookies/gelato/ice cream cake/ dessert strains for flavor. Looking back on it, I actually can’t believe I let this one go. (especially considering the next thing I grew after that was sensi seeds maple leaf, which was terrible.)
I think I remember you mentioning/posting about that before. Pretty interesting. I like those OMG hybrids. I mean, I’ve never had one do something like what you’re talking about haha, but they do always seem to grow in a way that I don’t usually see with other plants. The couple Soars I have growing now are looking pretty “OMG-ish,” no C. Red “Sativa traits” that I can see, but there’s still something about them that I’m digging.
I always dig those OMG hybrids.
Sorry, man, I don’t mean to laugh, but that is kinda funny, in a “live and learn” sorta way haha…
I’ve been busy. Get ready for a lot of harvest photos.
The cangshans turned out great this year. A fitting sendoff for the cangshan #1 clone.
Here’s some photos in september so you can see how tall these massive plants were. For perspective, the camera is at eye level (about 6 feet) and looking straight upwards.

These are the smaller indoor cangshans that I put out much later in the season. They preflowered a little earlier than the big ones that were put out in spring.

cc1:
And just for fun here’s a photo of their companion plants- oregano, lemon balm, and california poppies.
I should have gotten more pictures of them in flower.
Despite strong 35 mile an hour wind gusts and the extremely long stems, the canghsan love this kind of weather for some reason. The tops just sway around in the wind, sometimes leaning very far before springing back up. But the stems never break, and the buds always seem to show noticeable growth after a storm.
The cangshans were seeded by my bodhi ethiopian afghani #10 male. The smaller plants were directly hand pollinated, and the big ones were pollinated naturally.
The hand pollinated ones ended up about 50% seeded, and the tall ones were lightly seeded. Because they had fewer seeds and were pollinated earlier, the big ones finished first even though they preflowered later.
Interestingly, the seeds ripened much faster with the ethiopian. When I bred them pure and with the isp 91 dragons (a chinese / hawaiian / afghani hybrid) the seeds weren’t ripe until the end of november. But this year, I finished harvesting cangshans over this last weekend.
This is the harvest from the big cangshans, chopped the first weekend of november. Probably the best bud I’ve gotten from the cangshans because it’s only lighly seeded.
cc1:
all the bud on this platter is just from the top cola
this is a side cola
I’m actually not sure if this is cc1 or cc2 in these photos, but here’s a nice top from a lower branch. I think it’s cc2 because it’s frosty and has less purple.
Here’s a whole top from the cc2. This is as long as an arm from shoulder to finger tip.
The seeds look fantastic. Extremely large, black, and with a distinct kind of coffin shape. Long straight sides, and a pointed tip. Interestingly the cangshan always produce a few outlier seeds that are absolutely tiny and nearly spherical. Much less duds and white seeds this year with the plants being lightly seeded.
