@OverallQuill80 Happy Canniversary!!

Hey there and thanks everyone. I didnāt even realize it was until now checking in at 2:30 in the morning. I just unknowingly celebrated with some friends after work tokin on my buddyās temple ball hash I rolled up for him back in December while rolling another 7 grams or so he sifted with the trim bin since I was there. Heād never considered putting the keif to use that way and it was something I casually read about here but donāt really get the kinda yields to try it so it was cool. The one from December has cured nicely and changed to a putty like consistency with a strong pine taste upfront and a nice peppery flavor after the first couple tokes. Good times. Welcome back @Alien_Shore good to see you.

Had a better experience with the Coast of Maine than the Fox Farm but ultimately decided to make the switch to coco for better control and quicker corrections when necessary. This will be the way forward for me. Watering has been a lot more work than soil though without the benefit of automation but I will probably get there eventually. The flooding has always been there since the lot was cleared in the late 70s but I dug a pit and a ditch in the lowest spot years ago to pump water away so itās manageable somewhat. A couple mallards hung around for a week after Isabelle in 03 but usually it can be emptied within 24 hours. Iām finally admitting that the habit of running a fan at a window in the back of the house for smoking cigs and tokin is probably having a lot to do with the mold infiltration. Itās got to be pulling a fair amount of air from the crawl space to the living space. Around 30% of the air in the average house is crawl space air so itās probably way higher here. One step at a time Iāll improve things under there but itās going to be a while at the rate Iām going.

10 weeks of flowering down today. This oneās going beyond the 11 weeks average and considering that it spent almost a month in preflower, Iām not surprised at all. Anyone who wants to play ā2 more weeks ā will not be penalized I have not even bothered with the microscope yet. The weird foxtails obviously wonāt finish with the rest of the plant. They still look like a couple weeks into flower. I expect it will be around the end of the month or more likely in early October. Iām guessing about 14 weeks total but weāll see. No new dead spots that I can see although the decision to put the net up seriously limits my ability to inspect. Also Iām still seeing a couple gnats and several tiny grey crawling soft body bugs that are usually seen around the window sills occasionally. No idea what they are or if theyāre harmful but something is attracting them. Treated with an entire bottle of CJDBB over a week and they donāt seem bothered. They just hang out in the surface layer of the coco and not ever seen on the plant. I think Iām just going to concede that they are going to be there for the duration and hopefully they are here for the gnats larvae or eggs or something and not worry about it anymore. I canāt get clear pictures of them so donāt worry about trying to ID. Speaking of pictures, hereās two from this morning.
My cheap azz mixer hack working great for cutting down on the time to make up the jacks.
About as good a close up as this phone can get. Plenty of white pistils still for āa week to go ā
Have a great week ahead everyone

I had the light jacked close to 100. The weird thing to me is the way they foxtailed. Iām used to seeing it pop out of the sides of the buds not start stretching again. I will never know if the ones with multiple tops were inflicted by being too close to the light or if it would have happened anyway. Iām leaning towards the former. Two more weeks and then weāll say that again

Today Iām also working on making infused oil for Mrs OQ to make her gummy squares. I have the bag of trimmings from the hash party Friday night and decarbed it early this afternoon. Got the first round stuffed in the cold brew filter steeping in the mini crockpot now. Iām pretty sure I have more trimmings than we have enough cold pressed coconut oil on hand so Iām thinking I will use up the last of the mct oil after I double or triple infuse her cold press. The mct scares her so I will have my own personal stash.

Iām doing two hours for each round and trying to maintain a temp around 170F. Just checked it and āstirred ā it and an hour from now Iāll press it to squeeze out as much oil as possible then add swap in more decarbed. Iām going to be doing this all evening probably. Iāll put the leavings into another bag and hot water extract the oil from that some other time. The MCT might not happen today either but Iāll get to it soon enough.

Prior to decarbing I used some medium fine screen to sift out a big handful. It was a good mix of keif and powder shake but super sticky. I worked it into a ball of hash-ish lol. Itās not the good stuff but itās still potent.
Been trying little samples of the oil too

Yo OQ my brother! Glad to see you and the BB are still rocking. I read you had some issues, but donāt we all? 
Especially with the heat and humidity this summer. 
Looks like sheās pulled through and got some rocking colas! It also sounds like you been having some fun at the hash party. Thatās funny because I just smoked the one you gave me over labor day weekend. It was a great switch up. Thanks again! 
It also looked like you were having a pretty good time tonight. Iāll be hitting you up before long and weāll catch up. Till then keep kicking bro!

BB been rocking for six months now, itās time for her to quit. Remains to be seen whether she will finish without further trouble. Did the hash get soft and gooey like my buddyās did or was it still hard like plastic? He was amazed at the difference after it got months of curing time. I was pretty impressed too. The ones I made for myself were lower quality keif and I was wondering how they would do with a long cure but I didnāt save any. Good hearing from you @Shadegrown .

Yeah hopefully your troubles are in the past with BB and she finishes up soon. For some reason I get high no matter what happens to them.
My hash stayed just like you gave it. Chinked when it hit the table! It smoked great.
My nieces boyfriend brought his nug smasher down that weekend too. We got trashed. Iāll get you down one weekend soon when youāre free.

Weekly update, late night edition. This banner has been flowering for 11 weeks now. Took over three weeks from flip to call it fully in flower. I guess slow is her speed and thatās all there is to it. I still have not bothered with trich checking yet. I will start sometime this week and try to remember to grab pics and post them. Hereās a few pics from this morning. Iām struggling to see any progress since last week. Still seeing a few too many white pistils ( not counting the younger top growth.
Hopefully everyone had a great weekend and will be having a great week. L8Rās
