my harvest started this morning. a few bud rot spots and a hint of pm on the vanilla kush . first signs of either. Cutting all the big buds off and letting the rest go for the second harvest. the fruity punch is about ready also. those 2 are about 2 weeks ahead of the rest. they were the 2 that got afternoon shade from the greenhouse. I think that got them started before the rest. I love this time of the year.

What's the plan on the grow Umbra ?-- Start a crop and grow it thru before starting another or do U have a seperate veg. area ?-- U need one of them bud trimming machines and one of those CO2 machines U told me about !-- U give your trim to someone who turns it into wax or shatter and U get half or was that someone else ?--

Not quite ready for a trimming machine, lol. Yes I have separate veg and a separate cloning/ seedling area. We are holding off on purchasing extraction equipment, because it is easier to let someone else do the work and split the extract.

*didn't see previous post.


Maybe time to think about one of these Umbra, never used one but seems for big jobs something like this is helpful ?

Hey Kraven. NCH tells me that the buds require a fair amount of hand pruning after they are done, and that they damage the buds.

I really really like this Umbra and I am hard to please for trimming buds.[ame]http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Cut-M-6000S-Trimmer-M-6000SBU/dp/B009W8B7B2/ref=sr_1_11?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1442429126&sr=1-11&keywords=bud+trimmer[/ame]

Thanks Rose. I will check those out.

I think all my grow stuff came from Amazon !-- Shame they don't sell seed too !

 

[Rosebud]

Ideas for storage? I used gallon jars last year but I can't afford those this year.. They are much more expensive plus i need lots more.. So I am a purest and didn't want to use plastics.. At the grow store i learned that if you are over your limit in herb, folks bury it in the ground in turkey cooking bags??? Have you ever heard of such a thing? Are the seal a meal thingys worth it???

Talk to me.

 

[Keef]

U learn something new every day !-- Seal-a-Meal bags and bury it !-- Let me write that down !-- I'm a purest too Rose !- I truely and purely do not won't to go to jail !

 

[Keef]

Umbra -- U confirmed I'm on the right path !-- 3 grow areas !-- What I'm working with is missing the middle area !-- I got a nursery where I clone and grow seedlings and I got bloom !-- I get the spare room for bloom then I can use my present bloom as veg. and keep my nursery as is !- Ya'll be teaching me stuff all the time !-- Without even trying !

 

[bozzo420]

only use a seal a meal if you like brick weed. cause when you suck all the air out and seal it you have brick weed. I did it to 4 ounces .lol never again. I freeze mine for storage.

Survivalists bury guns in pvc pipes with screw caps. keeps it dry for years.

 

[Rosebud]

See? good to know, I had no idea.

Keef this is just for research on a book I am doing..I know none of us grow enough to store.

 

[Keef]

Bozzo - White Widow or T.E. brickweed ?-- I could live with that !

 

[Keef]

Yeah Rose !- just research for a book !-- I myself am doing research for a book about growing marijuana !-- Purely research !-- I actually don't grow or use it myself !

 

[Keef]

Rose - They make an adapter for 4 inch or larger PVC pipe that is threaded to screw in a plug !-- A smear of PVC cement - push the adapters on each end of the pipe and let it dry -- U can then screw the caps in to seal contents !

I knew an old captain of swordfishing boat that buried is money in the old metal lunch boxes. We dug some up one time and the money had started to decompose. He started putting them in zip lock bags and then into 4" pvc pipes. He had this crazy treasure map with all the places he buried stuff.

 

[bozzo420]

just smoked a nice bud from the fruity punch.it been cut and dried. cured a couple of days. It is the smoothest smoke I have smoked in a long time. Maybe I can grow top shelf.

 

[Keef]

Of course U can Bozzo !-- Umbra what kind of temp change do U do between night and day in bloom ?

I wonder how much money he actually lost with that escapade.
