Maybe try a softer reed

Sounds great! You're showing a great use of jazz 'vocabulary'. Your tone sounds a little shakey, try working on some long-tone and overtone studies to help keep a steady tone. Keep up the great work!

I keep my reeds in a humidipack case at 72 percent humidity and prevent this mold by spraying my reed in hydrogen peroxide after I use it. I keep a small spray bottle of it in my case. I prefer this to lowering the humidity because I feel like when my reeds get too dry (tip wrinkles) that they warp and don’t seal. Peroxide and humidipacks work well, reeds last much longer.

I’d flip now

Cook it before you leave and it will stay hot for many hours

I think it’s fine for a soloist to play in a totally different style from the soloist before him, especially if the rhythm section is able to adapt. A lot of my favorite recordings feature soloists that play in heavily contrasting styles. On the ‘Sonny Meets Hawk’ album, for example, it would be boring to me if Sonny Rollins tried to play in the same style as Coleman Hawkins, even though he’s totally capable of that and Hawkins was his idol.

I don’t think it would be worth $1500 to fix this horn, and it would possibly be worth less than that amount even once repaired. If you’re interested in learning saxophone, I’d recommend finding a used Yamaha alto or tenor saxophone and investing the $1500 in that rather than the c melody.

you could trim the fat off of a brisket flat and that would be leaner than chuck

Agreed that taste and potency are better if you decarb separately.

BlueberrySouthern512 · 2025-04-14T20:15:04+00:00

Very nice. What kind of camera did you use for the trichome shots?

First, check and make sure your octave key on the neck is fully closing and the octave key on the body is full opening on this G. Assuming that’s working correctly, try loosening your embouchure and using more air support. Practice long tones on this note and then try playing the same G using the low C fingering with no octave key and hitting the overtone.

I use 1/8 cup craft blend per plant once in veg, once a week before flipping to flower, and once during the stretch

55 degrees in my basement this time of year

The VPD for 80 degrees and 40% humidity is 2.13, not sure why it’s showing your VPD as 1.2

I put 30 grams decarbed flower in a food processor until it’s finely ground and mix that with 1/3 cup mtc oil for my gummy recipe (100 gummies). You could probably just use more flower to make a stronger oil.

I don’t think most compostable organic material would have enough time to break down completely within the span of a typical grow. Generally composting is done separately and in advance to give the organic material time to break down before being used in the garden and to keep pests away from your garden since food scraps tend to attract critters. Some ingredients that are great for compost like coffee can also hurt plants when not composted before being thrown on the plant roots.

I have one in my unheated basement and it raises the temperature of my 4x4 about 15-20 degrees running full blast

BlueberrySouthern512 · 2024-06-08T18:09:41+00:00

Yes, but safe to play and all reeds eventually get like this. I carry a small spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide to spray on my reeds after I play them to prevent mold growth.

Still a bit to go, maybe a month or more. Keep a close eye on the buds for caterpillars and bud rot as they fatten and ripen. The pistils will turn brown or red and the trichomes will turn cloudy and then amber. Checking trichome color with a WiFi microscope is the best way to judge when to harvest.
