An American Dream - White Picket Fences and Marijuana in the So Cal Sun

I rolled up some Chernobyl, Haze and Dark Goblin 3 for the days festivities..

  Being the cheap old bastard I am if I have a month or so to let the pile go thermal and cool back down I'll add a bag or 2 of chicken manure to the recycling soil pile.. For immediate use it's a 1 pound coffee can full of alfalfa pellets per about a cubic foot.. It does a good recharge but doesn't seem to heat the soil as I've planted in it many times now.. Feed and tack stores usually have the best price on a 50 pound bag of alfalfa pellets and that'll last me half a year or so..

 

Taking the Hash Master 5000 with us we processed mass quantities of otherwise useless shake into many grams of assorted flavors of dry ice hash-kief and burned up about 15 pounds of dry ice in the process.. Thanks to our host for providing both the dry ice and the usual fine spread of food.. Dogs, Burgers, Ribs, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Mac and Potato salads..

That is the Hash Master thread and there is a link to a short vid download in the 1st post or 2 Chef

 

A bit of a late start but TTS and I still got some harvesting in..
 
Blue Berry gets taken off the branches and bagged as did several more plants
The current slow dry group that will be spending the night in the trash can
Minion City Diesel #3
MCD 3
MCD 2
MCD 2
MCD 1
Solo running will likely get trashed tomorrow.. I was gone to many times while TTs was away and they look like hell
MCDs hanging
More of the same
Cloner with several ready to graduate

 

Minion City Diesel #1
Dark Goblin #3
Khalisi #2
harvested..

 

Left side veg plants out for overdue Neem oil treatment
Right side mostly.. I'd already moved a few back in before I remembered to snap a pic
This was the bigger of the 2 Kosher Kush..
Failing to clone it I took 9 of the best shaped cuts as I harvested.. Not having had good luck with end of flower cuts I took a mess of them
Here I'm stuffing space around the stem with some small scraps of wool
Finished clone
I try and get about 3 fingers of stem and a nice fan leaf.. In this case I trimmed off as much of the bud as I could and still leave a node

 

A little lesson in using a rolling machine..
 
Prepare your material with a suitable grinder or scissors..
Hold open roller with the movable roller facing you and in it's front most position forming a pocket between both rollers
Load roller.. Only practice can tell your fingers that this is to much or to little..
Slide front roller to it's rearward position and you'll feel it lock into place.. To much material you can't lock it.. To little and you have a loose roll
With thumbs on the front and forefingers on the back rollers gently roll forward and backward slightly until the rollers move easily..
With both thumbs on the front roller rolling down roll the machine a full turn..
Insert paper with the gum towards you and roll forward until most of the paper is in the machine..
Lick
Continue to roll forward until the gum line is inside the machine.. Wait 3 second for glue to set..
Lifting up and back slightly on the forward moving roller unlock it and remove your perfectly rolled doobie

 

Blue Berry was dry enough to jar both plants..
Seven months and 14 odd days was the full life cycle cutting date to jar for this one
Right side veg plants from a lower angle showing just how tall they really are
Lefties
Dark Goblin 2
DG 2 this pair are the last of the spring harvest 2015 and a fine run it was..
Patio plants are the seedlings put out on the 1st of May to sex..
Ravnus #1
Ravnus #2
Strawberry #1
Strawberry #2
Bubba Baby #1
Bubba Baby #2.. This is the towering one on the far right.. All are females but with summer here I suspect they'll reveg not being that deep in flower..
Kosher Kush pair up front..
With some leaving and new line plants hitting the bags the can is fairly steady with the staggered harvest not needing additional cans like I have when rushed to get the harvest in under high heat.. This mild end of May was a huge blessing for both TTS and myself..

 

This lone cattie was hanging today..
Dark Goblin 2
DG 2 the last flowering plant of the spring run
After about 3 years of continuous use my zapper finally died.. Here is the new one with it's faces already chopped out..
Things look very empty
A slightly different mix of alfalfa
 
Got back to the house to find a notice from Edison their tree crews will be in my back yard on the first of June.. What perfect timing as the yard is as empty as it ever gets with just 6 small seedlings I flowered a month ago in 2 gallon pots.. I can shove everything in the shed for the 6 hour window they expect to be here between..
