I hear ya fellas! One of my fans that air cools my hoods shit the bed! I can't climb over the plants to get to it for another week so the door is staying open to keep me around 80-82.
Seems like we're all still getting by though! Here is some Killing Fields dry and ready to go!

Those pricks in the white and blue chopper gave me a full rectal a few weeks back, it's so nice to be on the shit list, they were around in the black ones in late June, I had 3 in one square mile for an hour, up and down..hell I'm still standing...My big a/c is holding the heat down in my flower room but my mother area is HOT and humid, I'm still losing big colas to rot but I expect it...it was 75 outside when I woke up at 3 this morning, that's about as hot as a night can be around here.This time of year I can really only realistically grow SSH, Larry or La Nina anything else is begging for a failure, I do have a major sea of SSH working up in a huge ebb and flow tray, they laugh at the heat and humidity, but to be honest the room temp doesn't go over 82 and nightime it's about 64.This is the time when we lose many of our newer, inexperienced, "I'm going to get rich this summer" growers, and when those clowns come back to me in the fall and say "Chaco, whatcha got?" They'll be gettin' zero.I've given too many cuts to local clowns and it's been biting me in the ass, I'm still amazed at how many people will straight out burn ya'!!! Nobody from IC , you guys know how to read....:)

Hey!!....How do you guys grind up your bud for making hash in bags?? Coffee grinder? I've got about 3 oz of all kinds of weed I'm throwin' in these bags and some of the weed is pretty dense..should I grind it up then freeze it or freeze it then grind it ?? I'm going to go out and pick up a coffee grinder and give that a shot, believe it or not I've never done this...:)

Freeze it as it is, then when you do the mixing it'll break up w/o wasting, damaging the trichs. That's why you do 2-3 runs.
The colder the better. ;) Forget the grinder, much better product w/o all that.

Here's help: http://www.freshheadies.com/instructions/detailed.php

I get a much better product hand-stirring for 8m. I'd recommend hand-stirring the 1st rd, then use the mixer the 2nd rd. for 15m.
The real labor is the bag separation. When you get to the hard-to-drain bags, seal up the bag opening w/ hands and force the air/water out a bit, then lightly shake it an inch to help clear the h2o. Too much and the hash will get up on the sides and you'll have to dip it back in the water to get it all down on the mesh. Avoid that, pita. PM me if your having any ?'s.
Have fun w/ it now, cause once you do get it down, it becomes tedious as hell.

Geez, I'm moving kinda slow on the hash..my growrooms are just all over me but I'm keeping up for the most part..I'm just running 1 giant ebb and flow tray of SSH and Larry because they are oblivious to temps and mites, as you can see it's kinda giant looking...My moms are doing well despite the heat too but they need a new scrubber.This is around the time of year I do something dumb....:)

My plants have rebounded well, they're really setting up nicely to start flowering soon! :woohoo:

They are my therapy! :D

Oh shit boy, those plants look great...a warm sunny Sept and you'll be in the gold.I could just sit and watch a nice outdoor garden huffing in the breeze for hours, I did last year and the year before...I was more relaxed watching my outdoor stuff go back and forth in the breeze than my indoor..The plants look pretty, enjoy it, the choppers won't be back now.:)

Hey Chaco, that's one plant! I trained them horizontally early on, otherwise they'd be towering over everything in that spot now.
Here's what her trunk looks like:

I named her 'Alphi' cause she was the alpha plant of my 1/2 dozen seedlings.

Here's 'Fla', as in flaw, the mutant. No sex yet. Break my heart if it's a dude. Leaves have that crushed matte look seen in mutants.
These plants are different as night and day, but both F13 X A11.

Here's the trunk:


Another beauty of a day for 'em, and yeah, nothing like catching a whiff of these two on the breeze 30' away as I approach. :D

That's exactly what I love to see, big stinky plants blowing in the wind, if the weather is nice that baby is going to thrive in September!! Some friends of mine have the ecsd, chem D and Larry outside and they're cranking now with all the sunny weather we've been having, I can't wait to see how things turn out, I think I gave them about 30 cuts and I'm sure that ecsd is stinking up about 30 acres already, a very dangerous plant to grow outdoors!!:)

....and over here are the 120 day mango/widows..I have another that is all widow but these are all mango...if I were to venture a guess.:) I feel like I screwed something up on these, they are def not La Nina's, not even close to a SSH, but they're in a corner against a 600W vertical, maybe the bulb is too close?? I don't know, they could be worse...

Chaco, you could binge on worse things. They look damn good, sporting that lush green color. 2 more weeks of 18/6 w/the 1K is gonna make some monsters. The mango looks nice too, 120 days is dedication to the game. :respect: :joint:
