2010 outdoors,

[MJBadger]

Apparently George Michael is to produce a line of cannabis seeds & rumour has it that the first few strains include . Sleeping tab . Whacker Wall & Range Rover Slam .


No mould so far , the odd day of rain & then bright breezy days . The others on the UK Outdoor have mixed results but like me they have late plants out , if the mould /bud-rot hits it will be turned into bubble . So far i hav`nt even thought about any preventive measure , bi-carb may be my only choice .

Stay green .

Curing hash is maybe the wrong term, its just storing it for a while really. Dry it pressed out like u have in the picture before (48 hours usually good) in a dark place, that ensures even drying, then place between your two palms for a while to warm up, and roll it into a ball, from that make it into whatever shape u want (cubes are generally safer as spheres like to roll ). After that u can place it into a jar like yer bud, or wrap in cling film, and just store for a while, doesnt need to be burped or anything, i've just found it tastes better when its been stored. The outside of the hash block with oxidise a bit so it's normal for it to become darker . I'm sure others have their own opinions which they'll post aswell

You can also speed up the drying process by crumbling the hash onto a plate, then place the plate over your grow lamps, depending on the wattage, the amount of hash, and general room atmosphere, 5 - 30 mins will cover it, u want to get to it before it gets too hot and sticks to the plate. Then u can roll into a ball, and even sample a bit .... with this method i'd still recommend leaving for at least a day to fully dry, and re-press it a few times (squash out and re roll) to even out the inside of the ball to dry out properly (this is generally something i do with bubble hash, to speed up the time for water evaporation .... i also always make bubble or gumby, this method may be no good for dry sift so use your own judgement )

Delighted to hear the good results m8, 6oz of good bud is fantastic.... Nice of u to donate the other, wish i had friends like u years ago he he. Great news on the seed run also

Has any1 used the product "Bud Rot Stop" ? Heard and seen it a few times round the place, but no idea if its any good.

all my hash is made gumby style, dont think iv touched last years stuff, probably would taste like ass.

grow update

some good news first, trekked out to the lone plant in my wonder spot, took me ages to find it, place had turned in to a jungle, found a nice little budding female, was covered in withered brown patches so some things been eating it, place would need aload of work but its safe, dank soil and its huge

3 of my 4 afghan nigerians turned out to be male and i had to spend ages staking all my plants because of their fuck all root size and some were getting blown away

Shitty news about the Afghans man, did you catch them in time or did they shed their pollen?
Somebody has a few plants in a field near me and the males are firing out pollen all over the females, it's a shame because there is a nice looking female in the bunch.

How the Typhoon with the finger sized bit of grey mould doing did you get it sorted?

stopped the afghans just in time, did you grab any clones from the other guy?

the mold was on a kc, did a clean with neam oil , alcahol mouthwash and then covered it in wax, so far so good.

you got any guerilla plants out?

Nah didn't grab any clones, no idea what they are but they are a late finisher going by the look of them.
Good news about the mould fingers crossed it stays away.

I've 2 guerilla plots out but they were all plants that failed to meet the grade to be grown in the garden and to be honest I've never went back to them after I planted them.

 

[The_Grim_Reefer]

What kinda wax did u use tonto ?

Great news about the spot!!, hopefully where the plant was nibbled at doesnt turn into anything more. Also sorry to hear bout the afghans.

I've got hash thats over a year old, ive stored it though usually, for it to get to that age, otherwise "special occasions" usually have it long gone before that stage . I'd try it m8, 1 year+ hash can be some of the nicest i've smoked

U plan on heading out to the plots cook ? or gonna leave it as a tribute to the ganja gods lol

Ah I'll just leave them be sure the females must be well knocked up at this stage.
Hopefully next year a seed or 2 might decide to germinate who knows?

Right I'm off to throw eggs at the Dail ............

woohoo 3 day weekend

 

[grizzlybeard]

2.50 pints is very good for dublin. I must go out and check the price up here in belfast.

Drink up.

I have to say when im in dublin though I just love the porterhouse. There oyster stout is one of the nicest stouts ive ever had.

 

[Cookie monster]

Ah a few pints and back home for a few bottles and a doobie

Been a while since I was in the porter house, great pub to go for a good feed of stout.
Strangely enough I never had a decent pint of guinness up in Dublin, you have come to the sticks to a real pub for that.

My last plant came inside to the conservatory today, night time temps are getting too low, was 2c last night and these bloody heavy showers ware starting to pulverize it.
It's just beginning to flower properly and will probably finish late October due to it's late planting.



The pot is more interesting than the plant, it was scrubbed clean before planting and look at the state of it now, all that dirt is splashback from the rain

at these temps its going to take plant ages to finish, wonder how the cold effects mold though.

decided to give the year old hash a go and was happily surprised, smooth and peppery but ill need a hammer to smash it in to small enough pieces its rock hard atm.

 

[Cookie monster]

Ah it should finish on time, Im using a heat mat to keep the soil temps up.
Air temps dont matter as much IMO.

Was the hash any better tasting after the year in storage or can you remember?

 

[igrohydro]

Hash if stored correctly would be awsome after a year,imho.
Enjoi tonto!

dont think i tried it back then, it looked and smelt green and nasty so it got put away.

tried some again this morning, was cooking away and didnt notice till late afternoon that i had burnt myself when it started to hurt, so its pretty potent

thanks, tasty stuff indeed, time for another session me thinks

Been raining on & off for nearly 2wks now , so far only 1 of the AKWW has suffered . 60% or so is now in the freezer for Bubble . A tiny bit in a Biddy Early but most of the other plants are hanging on with some definately shedding the rain .
I seem to have more late ones this year than ever b4 & it`s a bit of a puzzle as they are from the packs of seed that i`ve grown in previous years . The hot summer gave good veg so why the later flowering ? Still the seedruns gone well so it looks like the original line of zedheads AAH (ak auto o haze ) is still going to be avalible for future use , we have found that the auto appears more & more in each progressive F bred , around 25% in the F2 & minime went up to 6 or 7 & all fully auto from about F4 . Fingers x`d .

Stay green .

 

[hugh420]

i had the same well its my first grow but 5 of mine arent flowering and 1 is barely budding and my top skunk 44 is coming along alright maybe bout 3-4 weeks left in it
