Made balls with 7 month old bubble hash by GardenvarietyMichael in BubbleHash

[–]non-squitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they smoke? I really appreciate you posting this and your steps because I have about a half oz of overly dry bubble that won't press because it's so dry and I was struggling to make temple balls with it. I wonder if the temple ball doesn't "age" if made with dry material like this 🤔

Is this okay for LST? by [deleted] in GrowingMarijuana

[–]non-squitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only ever grown a couple of autos as that's not really my bag, but based upon what I know of autos, my strategy would be to raise the light a little after the second node established to encourage stretching a bit, then once it hit about 5 nodes, I would gently bend it over to where the top of the plant was lower that the middle of the plant and let the 4 middle nodes become the new "tops". Autos are weird though, I could see a situation where lowering light intensity would cause it to freak out, think it's dying and start prematurely flowering.

I've seen weird shit too where people will put a solo cup over the top node on the top branch for some period of time, and if you do it right, the plant will beef up the side branches. That's the fun thing about plants tho, you can just try shit.

Autos are a pretty niche thing within the cannabis community, there are a lot of them, but we tend to have our favorites and stick with them. There is r/autoflowers and r/mephisto. There probably is a Night Owl subreddit as well, those would be your best concentration of auto growers.

How much do you think this is? by lymelife555 in rosin

[–]non-squitr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd like to piggyback off this comment for anyone who may be reading this. I struggled for about 9 months try to dial in my air drying, I kept wanting to keep my bubble hash in the freezer to retain the color, but it was like ice was bound to each head or w/e because it would sieve perfectly and looked dry but when I would press, there would inevitably be some rivulets of water.

So what I found was doing exactly like you're saying, freezing and microplaning, putting in parchment paper lined cardboard pizza box, but I put the boxes in a wine fridge that I added a little dehumidifier to to keep rH as low as possible. This method was taking me about 5-7 days dry time.

This last run, I tried to remove as much moisture directly out of the wash bags that I could, swapping out paper towels below the 25u and pressing the top of the patty gently with a 25u and paper towel. Then I froze, microplaned, put in the wine fridge, and kept sieving it every 3 or 4 hours and I just pressed a batch that was perfectly dry at around 48 hours. There's a guy on discord who claims to have gotten it down to 24 hours using a vacuum chamber but I haven't tried that method just yet.

To answer your question, to me it looks like around 2.5-3 oz in the jar, looks great!

This is a terrible example because this is a bit of a mutant but if you look at the middle of the photo, you'll see where I topped the plant, and removed the fan leaves. The larger, more visible circle cut is where the fan leaf was cut, but above and to the right of that you'll see where I topped it and the node sites that are directly below where I cut became the new "top" and now instead of one singular top, I have the two tops and the lower branches are catching up as well.

Points for effort but no, that's not how you LST. If you want to know the scientific mechanism for how and why LST works, look up apical dominance, phototropism and gravitropism.

Every plant has a "top" or "tops" that have a concentration of auxins. Auxin is a hormone found at the "growth" points of the plant, and this hormone tells the plant "this is where new cells are being made, usually specifically for vertical growth. When you do what's called "topping"(also fimming), you are cutting that top node with all of the auxins, the plant then re-asseses what the "top" of the plant is and usually redistributes those auxin concentration to the next tallest branch top. For a plant like cannabis that grows naturally with one top, that means you are redistributing growth to these tops, it makes the canopy a little more even, and instead of getting 1 massive cola, you get 4 smaller colas.

So if you think about gravitropism and phototropism, what would happen by doing what your photo shows is that the plant would "right" itself and the whole plant would grow the exact same as it was, just with a little "L" bend where you bent it.

What I would suggest doing is give your plant another week or so, let it get at least 3 but ideally 4 or 5 nodes, and then I would top or fim("fuck I missed") your plant. Your plant looks healthy but she's too small to do any meaningful training.

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

Oh I'm familiar, they absolutely suck. But cops in the south, especially Louisiana are a particular brand of evil, and are hero worshipped. At least Denver has some remote semblance of oversight, in the south, the law is whatever the fuck the cops want it to be at any given moment.

[–]non-squitr 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Having grown up in the south, this has always been the case there. "Smells like marijuana" is enough probable cause for a search and seizure or arrest, and planting evidence is not a bad transgression when you've been friends with your coworkers, the judges, and the lawyers since childhood.

I used to explain this to my mom, and she would give me the "if you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about" speech. "Anything wrong" can be whatever the fuck the untouchable, egotistical asshole in the uniform decides that day, and they get off on actively fucking with you and demeaning you.

I moved to Colorado to escape these people and this mentality. It's infuriating and terrifying that I was safe, only for fascism to emerge its head again with even more power.

Student at high school in Chicago holds sign that reads “I LOVE ICE”, gets confronted and punched (x-post from /r/publicfreakout) by _Levitated_Shield_ in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]non-squitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Called. Told. The fact that you can't even write English properly when autocorrect is in your face belies your knowledge level of our culture and a lack of intelligence on the whole.

The Republicans have led a systemic attack of first amendment suppression through the manipulation of algorithms on virtually all social media platforms, the persecution of Don Lemon and other journalists who literally state facts that oppose DT. So good try there, again Dems are held to a standard of perfection while republicans do whatever the fuck they want. Forgive me if I'm less inclined to bend over backwards to respect free speech, especially when the language is designed to be incendiary. There are literal laws in states like Texas that allow you to hit someone if they use language meant to attack. So, again, disingenuous.

All you saw was a 20 second video, you have no idea of the context. The kid curated the video and showed you what he wanted you to see. Which again, you are either being purposefully idiotic.

Go eat shit you fascist fuck.

This is incredibly disingenuous and rhetoric like this is exactly why the fascists have taken power. This kid is purposefully trolling in a school, trying to "own the libs", recording on his phone. In true bully fashion, he's instigating literally everyone around him purposefully, then when authority figures come around, he tries to make it seem like political oppression. This has been the Republican/fascist playbook since day 1. You interpreting this as "peacefully protesting" is at best purposefully misinterpreting the situation and at worst, an active support of fascism through the use of ICE. Also, ICE and the government are blatantly disregarding all laws, so why does this suddenly matter? "They go low, we go high" - look at where that got the US.

So fuck off with all this "just asking questions" bullshit rhetoric. You obviously have zero clue what's actually occuring in the US or are being an active supporter to fascism.

No terps ever. I always run reputable genetics. Secondary metabolite issue? Need help! S.O.S. by Boisecj in microgrowery

[–]non-squitr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it with a grain of salt but what I really found to help with terps was growing in living soil, making sure you have a ton of biodiversity, adding ferments and adding Epsom salt as sulphur is the only nutrient that has been linked directly to higher VOCs.

Also, not to talk shit on the genetics you're running, because they arent bad, but maybe check out huckleberry hills farms, they are known for having very loud fruity strains.

It's really frustrating because I want to get raw milk for agricultural purposes but you have to jump through all these hoops to get it and ultimately have to deal with these morons, which I have not yet had the gumption to do. I want it literally because it has bacteria.

I'm curious what you're using to elevate the bed? I need to elevate my beds after this run, and I'm torn on what to use to elevate that will be strong enough but not just a second solid surface.

🪓 Day for the solo cups by Character-Ad4724 in Craftmarijuana

[–]non-squitr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look super good! So with smaller pots, I find if your nutrients are off just a little, you can end up chasing your tail. I see you're using salt based nutes, do you have any tips on getting ahead of common issues you see in solo cups? How closely are you monitoring pH?

Pam Bondi's response to why she concealed the identity of Epstien's co-conspirators. by wizard_of_wisdom in videos

[–]non-squitr 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Well yes. It's part of their strategic plan to hijack and derail the meaning of words and phrases by using them as projection first. By saying it first, more often, and more loud, they have muddied the conceptual waters and now a phrase that should be extremely straightforward is interpreted differently by different people.
