We drove back to the house, and I spent a bit of time cleaning the skirts of the newest plants.

About half done here. Skirts and Tops to even things up
I have a time limit for spring harvest at June 1st. Pushing further into June will foxtail and start to show signs of reveg. It's usually a high-quality high yield run.Looking good. Buds are good anytime. How do the Spring ripened flowers differ from the fall ripened. Much longer daylight in the spring, may give better potency!
Need to get some Sativa Candy Chunk sent out.
Travelers are looking good. You're donating blood, what an awesome generous gift for someone going through so much. Thats great! I guess they are alright with a few extra cannabinoids in the blood from Brass Capsules?
Hope it wasn't morning when you posted that this evening! Wonder where the world you are traveling? Must be where you can get the medical care you need. Will keep you in my prayers. Take care, hang in there. Glad you are using the pain relievers responsibly. Could use more though if needed because the pain medication can have a better effect cumulatively sometimes, keeping the pain down, I have heard.
I was wondering if you usually do any further processing with the material after making dry ice hash? I know at one point you made some tincture with it.
I am asking because the spent material seems to definitely have a little resin remaining. If you wanted to keep kiefing it, it has some trichomes, but its pretty heavily contaminated by plant matter. I keep smelling the resin in the lawn where I tossed the bucket of spent material. I thought it was the seedlings, but they are gone now. Maybe its the potting soil, not for sure. But it got me thinking about recovering more from the spent material next time.
Thanks for the help! Hope you get feeling better soon.
Hope everything settles out, should be better once all the surgeries are complete I would assume.
Alright, so you always go over it again to extract with alcohol. Oh well. I have the meds I need. Had to go through and get seed was the important thing. Will have to prepare to make RSO in the winter. My friend steeped it for a couple days then screened with cheeseclith ininstead of power shake for 10 seconds.
Would it work to just run it again through the hashmaster with a smaller mesh screen for another round of extraction? Would that have too much plant matter contamination?
Cool. Yeah it was pretty rough looking material and would be hard to purify to kief once thrashed like that. RSO would be a good option. I guess need a still and have to do it outdoors.
Do you prefer cured flower to fresh harvested to process in dry ice kief?
In the past you've shared your soil recipe but I don't recall a breakdown of the stump pulling and revitalization for each planting site. I have to imagine you have streamlined the process so that there is minimal physical exertion but would love to see a photo array that details the system you've devised.
