    So I broke down and bought a 160 micron bag and promptly cut it up..
    Cut the toe off the nylon hose to use as a elastic band for the 160
    Loaded up
    Jar
    Shakeout
    Had a couple of hits for lunch and spent the afternoon communing with the plants :hippie:
    That's good stuff, Maynard
     
    To Recap;
    Running low on meds mid February in Southern California with such mild winter temps I took advantage of the same and pushed store clones 24-0 for roughly 3 weeks under a mix of 70watt MH and 200watts of 6500k CFL.. Planting outside when they reached about 20 inches they promptly flowered from the light change shock.. I've gotten a couple of groups of spring harvests done and left the plants as small shrubs to near full size for summer re-vegging and that's under way with plants in all stages from still very much in full flower to full veg.. Still an ongoing experiment in just what can be done with clones out of season in a Temperate/Mediterranean climate..
    Dry Ice Kief/Hash from trim and bud both.. re-evaluating my original method of nylon hose vs a 160 micron

    Larger bucket, 160 micron mesh, bungee cord and a handful of..
    Train wreck
    Northern Lights
    Purple Haze
    Girl Scout Cookies
    Super Silver Haze
    After the 1st shakeout so much good looking material was left I ran it through the Nylon Stocking for just a few shakes and kept that separate for each strain and I'll do some testing and grading
    Far less work and much faster results with the much wider bucket for the 160 mesh

  8. Are you still employing the 70 watt or all current efforts in the great outdoors?

    My two starter boxes went off when I reached my plant limit.. And with what's still in the ground they'll stay off for now..
    Off to the Hardware store for a case of 1/2 gallon jars to finish getting the trash cans contents in glass now that the weed is at 60% humidity
    Northern Lights
    Purple Haze #2
    and that finishes off the current group

    With my Food Saver jar lid vacuum dingus's on backorder..

    I picked up the hand held unit at America's favorite shopping place and they matched Targets price without checking..@ $ 16.99
    So with a Hole punched in the lid and the hole covered with electrical tape trick I found on a DYI site.. I pulled a vacuum on the quart of Grand Daddy Purple..
    Close up of Blue Berry #1
    Same Bud
    Again
    Powdery Mildew pays me a visit.. I've been slack in my attention to my girls
    Same girl.. this is Train Wreck #2
    Pulled a vacuum on one of the tiny hash jars to see how it holds.. with the ring snug once I pull the vacuum I can spin the ring a further 1/4 turn for the same snug on the ring.. jars open without resorting to a pry bar either.. at least for now..

    So yesterday I treated all the harvested stumps with the Neem Oil Extract @ 1/2 the mix ratio with no ill effects so far besides the smell which while noticeable isn't all that bad and seems to have faded away by today..

  13. G13 Diesel #1 her oldest leaves all look like this.. but her strain mate just a few feet away shows no trace of it.. just an oddity I suppose or still damage from Junes sprayer disaster..
    B.C. Big Bud.. staked
    Whitaker Blues is curing very well along with Harlequin, Bulldozer, and Headband all of whom I took a sample jar of.. One of the Harlequin jars was cracked.. From what I'm not sure.. But the jar must have still been near air tight as the contents are sweet smelling and not dried out..

  14. Dug up 4 of the lollygagging post harvest girls.. 3 from between the tomatoes, Northern Lights, Super Silver Haze, Girl Scout Cookies, and Bulldozer.. Cut them down to fit and I'll toss them in box #2 Tonight .. I'll put them on 24-0 and see if I can't wake them up

  16. I'm incredibly envious of your freedom;  can't even imagine when that will become a reality here.  The Bills introduced to our House concerning MMJ have been awarded the "Golden Shroud Award" (their way of laughing them out of existence).

    I feel like the last rider on the bandwagon.. With California's Supreme Court ruling with cities and counties on banning not only brick and mortar dispensaries but enacting excessive regulation on outdoor grows or banning them altogether I'm watching this state take steps backwards to my extreme dismay.. So far my own county remains a grow zone despite being mostly urban.. Just last year I had 15 dispensaries within about 5 miles.. Now I have none.. The will of the public is once again voted in by a majority but sidetracked by a few old guard asshats in high places..
    In spite of that the clone strain bank I use remains.. The city they are located in is still friendly or at least tolerant of  them still.. So...

  20. So as I sit here scanning the photos that make up this thread looking for some background pictures to post elsewhere..
    Enjoying some of yesterdays Headband 160 ... I reflect and smile thinking damn I still didn't have much of a clue yet.. Run across the June disaster photos and realize just how far I still have to go.. Like any craft this one takes time to learn.. and even longer to really hone your skills..
