    2 pics from my current grow. Day 31. Stems are frosting over.

    dunno about smoking, but I'd dip that in some ISO.

    I have 16 tops on 4 plants frosting over like this. No way am I going to waste the thc. Hash it is. :)

    they are harsh but, if you have plenty i'd advise to look up the gumby bucket hash method. with a bucket of ice and water you can chill it enough to agitate it and break the trichomes free from the stems and bingo you have a good grade of hash. youll have to dry and press it but it is easy and smokes like incredibly! -D-

    Smoking stems is WAY harsh and tastes horrible. You can vape them, but something tells me that if you have money for a vape you'll have money for bud too. Edibles or hash are the way to go for sure.

    I do use a vap. I use a Silver Surfer. Last grow instead of dumping the leafy crsytal covered leaves and stems we did smoke them in the vap. The high was no different then the bud.

    This time around i'm going to try for some hash and maybe some edibles.

    So eh, why's it only icing up on one side?!

    kinda away from the origins but i may have an answer. due to the plants natural need to reproduce it will go through protective measures including sun-burn. trichome development will protect against too much uv-uvb light by reflecting light away from the leaf. its kinda like smearing oakley sun protection on your nose. the plant is reacting to light, try turning rotating and perhaps lst to expose other surfaces to the same light it will shine like no other in a real short time. :smoke: -D-

    I keep my lights 600w HPS and CFL pretty tight on the plants. I also move them around daily. So far my trich production is always high.

    Thanks for the info... :)

    600 hps + cfl's? thats exactly what i run. i found that gram for gram the 600 is the most efficient and the cfl's give it the boost to do even better than many 1000w grows. do you use any uv-uvb at the finish? it can cause trics to go wild. also i found that a couple of total dark cycles at harvest can give it a little thump as well. now go find a sweet spot in the sun and medicate. :smoke::smoke::smoke:
