Ready now, HighPower.Live
Soon Seed Cellar as well as Great Lakes genetics will be carrying regulars. Feminized seeds dropping between 07-30 to 08-15.View attachment 137329Some head-stash ‘88 G13 Afghan’ :) nothing like the classic indica hybrids in my opinion.

Checked out your site man....fucking awesome!
Some of the most thorough and detailed explanation I've seen!!
Definitely gonna score some Thai Fighter when I get some funds!

Nearly pure White Truffle Devil Driver terpenes, notice that the liquid reflects almost no light, to the point that it’s crystal clear. These went into the dark freezer immediately after. E96E55D5-545C-419E-B3DC-1703F9458D98.jpegIn my next experiment I’m going to decarb low and slow to remove all of the co2 before collection and avoid the faint decarb smell this one has. Still very smooth out of a vape with 90% distillate ratio. I’m pressing my director for melting & decarbing THCA diamonds out of a centrifuge instead of distillate… so much easier and cleaner imo. Only concern is going to be heavy metals from outdoor flower, that’s why distillation is still the purest method we have for anything.

does any of this translate to a whisky still, cause i need more info on this diamonds thing ,i would realy like to watch that process. do you have vids on line?

I don’t, I should really make some.

This doesn’t translate to whiskey unless you’re using some advanced equipment. To separate grain from alcohol with a centrifuge you’d need high speed and temperature control. Those are a little pricy but can separate pretty much any material on earth. To distill whiskey you’d need a wiped film evaporator. The traditional old school methods for purifying whiskey are tried and true (assuming you know how to avoid methanol) and there’s something satisfyingly primal about those methods, maybe that’s why we like growing cannabis.THCA is unique in that it tends to crystalize under lots of (+) pressure and/or right amount of heat. In a closed loop system, I like to push nitrogen into the warm jacketed collection pot at the end and literally push the crystals together into diamonds, similar to the formation of earth’s diamonds under the pressure of tectonic plates moving. It also pushes the butane out of the material and reduces the terpene loss in the vacuum oven. Only downside is pressure cooking diamonds takes way more time from the closed loop’s work day, and probably results in some terpene loss. For those reasons a centrifuge would suit us better with the next column up and running simultaneously. The centrifuge also allows you to get at the terpenes/flavonoids/fats/waxes without any extreme heat being applied to them. You can really pick exactly what you want when the thca crystals are stuck in the filter on top, and the flavonoids (red layer) terpenes (clear if they’re pure) and fats/waxes (dark black) are separated into layers in the steel ‘jar’ below.

it's all in the temp to stay away from methanol .

the only dealings i've had with a centrifuge was seeing them used to get dirt and gunk ,out of diesel fuel.i didnt know they were used for more high dollar product.

Feminizing Spray (harmless cheap chemicals)
1) Weigh 1.264g pure Sodium Thiosulfate (N2S2O3) salt
2) Measure 80 mL of RO or Distilled Water. Best done in a tube or jar so it can be shaken.
3) Add the N2S2O3 salt. Cap and shake well 3 minutes.
4) Uncap. Slowly measure / pour (or pipette) 20 mL 0.1M Silver Nitrate into the water.
5) Shake well 3 minutes. Best used fresh, and it’s best to flip it up and down every few minutes until you store it in the fridge. Should last ~14 days if stored properly. Shake well 3 min before use.

Khalifa reversing really nicely :)
See my STS spray solution above.
I’d also like to correct myself on Silver Nitrate. You do not want silver on your skin, eyes, nose or mouth. If you decide to use silver nitrate, wear gloves, a mask and eye protection. That being said, there is no major exothermic (violent) reaction that takes place and so long as you turn the fans off in your room, you will be fine. Avoid touching these plants once you start spraying them. You only need 3-4 big sprays per plant. I start 7-4 days before flower, and continue spraying onto week 2. This Khalifa female is about 10-14 days into flower.

View attachment 100454Friday was last Veg day, ~30 day veg for some more like 21 for late adds. They’re already Almost double in height, I’d post a pic but 100+ ladies and JetFuel x DosiDos Male be sleepin right now. I changed my pic to the logo I recently made, if the F1’s test as good as I think, I will put them out to seed banks with F1 hybrid disclosure. Look for the prayer hands and greek etching. First generation tends to grow ~20% faster but can exhibit 3+ phenotypes, including plants that are unique enough to become clone-only strains until stabilized.

I'm interested DET—PDX, what did round 3 make? Oh, and do you by chance have any collected pollen of your reversed fresh strawberry scented King’s Juice? I am currently trying to reverse a Magic Melon plant to make some feminized seeds but not sure if I will be successful(my first try) or not.
Cheers, Z.

seeing as this was posted some time back, i would still be interested i the tester seeds ,i have had very little trouble with your crosses !

Hey gang, I have no feminized pollen. I open pollinate the females. No time to fight the stickiness of the buds right now for pollen, I just put a small oscillating fan on one lady per room and blow pollen in steady starting day 20. I’d recommend carefully plucking pods as they start to open, but it’s another task I can’t do right now unfortunately.

I’ll have tester fems available in ~30 days. I’ll post my email in here at that time with instructions. Per @Heisen rules I am not giving out freebies.
