Rain here too, not the best. I've still got another four to take down outside. It's been going pretty quickly though, as I'm only taking off the fans and hanging them. I'm pretty glad to not be fine trimming these. If the yields are good, I might just run OD for hash only from now on. The bud size is almost perfect. I have plenty of flower anyway. It'll be cool to have single pheno hash, most of the time I blend it with similarly terped strains.
That's some beautiful looking hash you've got there Unc! Do you generally use all of the micron sizes? I think I might have to for the first pull of each plant to find the sweet spot, but I have mostly been collecting everything from 120-45u between the 220+160 and 45 bags. Sometimes I leave the 25 under the 45 for the first pull to see if anything results, but it's usually minimal or substandard and not worth the 20 min. drain time. I saw a dude on YT that hooked his shop vac up to his 5 gal. bucket and pulled the water through in seconds. I might have to give that a try, saving multiple 25u runs in another bucket and doing it all at once in the end after a few water washes. Also, do you do one long agitation cycle, or multiple runs? It seems like all could be accomplished in one, but I didn't want to beat up the mat'l and introduce impurities. I usually do about 5 cycles in ascending 5 min increments from 1-20 min. After that they definitely get a bit green though.

:tumbleweed:mornin campers...heading out for a ride in a bit,finally a nice day after about a week of rainy days...hoping to get a couple of big rides in this week...even if it involves the alarm clock! got to admit i have not been missing the 5am wake up 5 days a week...i do kinda miss the riding part,just not the same bloody route over and over...that said at least it was sort of nice seeing the wildflowers and such changing over time...
harvesting 3 plants soon...and should have the new all mesh bubble bags this week,got enough trim for one run to empty the freezer before i start adding fresh trim again...and the next round of harvest is looking good so far,halfway done and stacking hard...

Afternoon fellas! Beautiful weather out there today, it must've hit 70 and not a cloud in the sky. I've got three plants left to take down, but nowhere to hang them, I need at least another 3-4 days before I'll have the space. Then hash run after hash run. I might even experiment with some solventless short path vacuum distillation:)
Those are some phenomenal looking plants, Unc! Not sure if I missed it, but are you not working at the large commercial grow anymore?

:tumbleweed:mornin campers...overslept...forgot to set an alarm last night so just going for a ride rather than a big ride...another good day for it,too bad about being a lazy old cuss...maybe a quick jaunt to the trails for a lap,or a refreshing ride up some big ass hill...

:cautious: it's a wonder the shipping companies can stay in business...got one package shipped from 240 miles away which for some reason is in arkansas....so an extra 2000 miles traveled...and the set of all mesh bubble bags are taking over a week to get here from 400 miles away...meanwhile another package is taking a day to get here...
