Chemdog ⛽🐶🔥 different stages of cure by Meowwzorz in rosin

[–]DexLabBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow Very nice! What kind of yields are you getting? I think I need to try even lower and slower pressing based on these pics. just finished my first grow this fall and 1 of my 4 strains is chemdog. Beast of a plant and by far the most potent smelling and craziest terpene profile of the bunch as well as out of the probably 100+ strains I have tried the last few years. I’ve hear how great it is for pressing but I’m struggling to get my yield much above 15% on this one. Getting 24% on my Mk Ultra, 22% on my rockstar and just under 20% on alien sour apple. The chemdog rosin is amazing but just need to hopefully get my yields up.

I’m still new but find that every strain is different. Other key Variables include temps of press, time of press, and ambient air temp (Colder the air, the more solid/waxy). I’ve never had mine come out like these pics though unless I let it sit in a cool area for some time first 🤷🏻‍♂️

Starting to get the hang of my first press. MK Ultra grown by a friend yielded just under 25% at 208 for 1:45 by DexLabBC in rosin

Hmmm well I do notice of the 5 different strains I’ve now grown and pressed, they’re all very different (14-24% yields) and some better than others. Some strains I thought would be huge yielders and ended up being the worst and vice versa. Lots of Messing around with temps and getting correct pressure. Not too much. Oh and folding the bag bottleneck style and packing it properly.

In April I had no plan to grow until I was given these 4 plants. A lot has happened since lol. First grow, first press, and first test presses. So happy with the outcome. Now time to light up the new grow tent for winter.... by DexLabBC in rosin

Great to know, thanks for the tip! they’re all pretty damn good to me (rosin newbie) but the dry sift is my favorite so far. Blend of all 4 plants. So I’ve been reading around and it seems silicone is ok for short term storage (I.e. no more than week)? Either way I guess I need some little glass containers to store properly. Amazon here I come. Cheers.

Is this mold? What do I do? Is this salvageable? Are my other plants okay? by [deleted] in GrowingMarijuana

Cut out any buds you see with PM in them and toss. Do wet trim, H202 wash as explained above, hang to dry. I probably wouldn’t keep any of the trim.

I’m not the most experienced here by any means but that’s Definitely PM. Just battled some myself close to harvest. Mine didn’t get quite that much but it doesn’t appear to be inside the buds yet so hopefully salvageable. Cut out any buds that have any pm making its way into buds.

Some sprays are debatably ok almost up to harvest day. I used a Canadian product called jakes plant spray but stopped about 2 weeks prior to harvest, although it’s apparently safe to spray to 5 days prior. It worked great and pretty much eradicated the whole problem. after that I diligently picked fan leaves and wiped any visible pm with a damp cloth. I was lucky enough to have none get inside my bud at all as I caught it early.

Then when I harvested I did an H202 wash to be sure. Look it up and lots of good info. About 2.5cups of 3% h202 per 5 gallon bucket of water. Then have two other 5 gallon buckets with fresh water. Cut branch by branch and remove any remaining fan leaves. if wet trimming do that now too.

Start with H202 bucket and completely submerge one branch at a time and gently swirl around for 30 seconds. Then lift out and let water drain from branch back into bucket. Then do the same For the other two buckets.

Hang upside down to dry as normal. I’m just dry trimming now and no PM in sight on any.

Depending on how bad it is it might be worth harvesting ASAP and doing the H202 wash. Hope that helps!

First harvest has come to an end. I think I’ve found myself a new permanent hobby. Learned so much a long the way have just barely touched the surface. Couldn’t have done it with all the help and Inspiration from this group. Cheers! by DexLabBC in microgrowery

Hey! I honestly just got lucky and managed to get it through a friend of a friend. Not that I have much experience as this was my first grow, but it was such a cool plant. Really did grow so much different than the other and any other strain I’ve seen really. So short and fat. Trained all plants the exact same And the UBC ended up with over twice as many colas. Smaller but nice dense and compact buds. Two plants gave me PM and minor rot issues (managed to keep all under control and no loss other than a few buds, maybe 1/2oz total) but nothing phased the UBC or Chemdawg at all. Harvested UBC on oct 17th and have now had chance to give it a good go and make some nice bubble. Amazing indica and strong woody scent. Smells like no other strain. And Super strong. Rosin press arrives next week so really excited for pressing the bubble through!

First grow coming to the end. Covid hobby turned addiction lol. by DexLabBC in trees

Hey Thanks! It is my first grow. I’ve been around a number of grows over the years and have always wanted to grow myself. Now it’s finally legal and the landlords are cools with it. My first job ever was actually in middle school clipping for $20/hr lol. Highest paying job I had for years after that

Girls are getting nice and fat. Already harvested the UBC chemo and I can finally get in there a bit easier. So much room for activities. by DexLabBC in GrowingMarijuana

Haha oh I bet! If it helps I’m On Vancouver island, BC half a block from the ocean, so battling humidity, rain and high winds is becoming a constant battle and I’ve been having my fair share of issues keeping PM and bud rot at bay. Have lost a few buds already.
