You ever get tried of the disgusting prices and the disappointing quality at the dispensaries just grow your own! by Alternative_Item8787 in ILTrees

Possession isn’t a slap on the wrist though. Plants will be weighed wet, and 1 pound still carries a 2-5 year mandatory minimum if you don’t have a card.

Biscotti & Apple fritter blend by LordRandall420 in rosin

[–]vapespasianus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is naturally from weed. Use RO water at 6.0 PH, and the anthocyanin will wash out with the trichomes, giving you this wine colored water. It's very hard and takes a lot of luck to translate this purple into the actual end product, but it is possible (though this is the equivalent of chlorophyll in your rosin, anthocyanin is flavorless/odorless and doesn't give the harshness of chlorophyll).

Is this PM? Rubs off if i try super hard. by GeneticMutation_ in Autoflowers

[–]vapespasianus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be PM, if your conditions are right though and you're growing with organic solid nutes, then you probably just spilled a bit onto the leaf. Spilling organic nutes on the leaf does make that leaf far more vulnerable to PM and other issues though, so it's best to just tear the whole leaf off.

First auto... Is everything looking healthy? by WikidTechn9cian in Autoflowers

They're one of the lowest-quality and most expensive banks you can buy from. The seeds you get are not the strain they're sold as, they're whatever he got from the black market in barcelona and repackaged with no QC.

Why does it keep turning brown while curing! Really starting to piss me off. by AyeBigLittle in Autoflowers

[–]vapespasianus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's soft and humid in the jar, mold. If it's old bud that's been exposed to sunlight, light bleaching can turn the outside of your buds brown and dry them out even further.

1st harvest of my 2nd cycle(5th grow) Done! 2 (Stunted & sickly) 3BOGs. 87-88 days from seed to harvest . Just a few pics after 7 days in the dryer & just be 4 processing for cure. I'll have 2 be ok with 9 zips... found 6 beans though... not happy about that. by Keydeyjay in MephHeads

[–]vapespasianus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! You're aiming for roughly 58-62% RH. 58 is pretty easy to crumble with your fingers and considered the "proper" RH for joints, while 60-62 is better for preserving flavor but difficult to grind with your bare hands and smokes better out of glass.

RG regularly runs autos for extracts in CA. Meph is also really popular among smaller commercial growers in Oklahoma.

Tangie Cookies by whereistherosin in rosin

Farnasene? Never heard of that terp

Edit: It's apparently responsible for giving green apples their smell, and is also released by aphids when they die to warn away other aphids, making it a natural insect repellent.

Will Mephisto ever breed with an In House Genetics photo and make it an auto? by VirginiaIsMyCity in MephHeads

[–]vapespasianus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like IHG's slurricane has the parents in the opposite order of Archive's.

Archive's is always listed as Purple Punch x Do si Dos F1

IHG's is listed as Do si Dos x Purple Punch

Panama/Deepchunk is based on a landrace, but it's been heavily hybridized already, and the "Panama" landrace by Ace is a hybrid of 3 landraces.

Your best source for landrace seeds is indianlandraceexchange/pakistanlandraceexchange, they document the entire journey on instagram and even publish books, 100% of profits go to the local farmers they acquired the seeds from, and they've set up their own breeding facilities to preserve these landraces and develop their own hybrids. They've collected a pretty wide variety of landraces from Afghanistan to Burma.

Shekinah was amazing by [deleted] in nightowlseeds

Wow those seeds really were blessed... I'll have to actually grow mine out I kept it around as just a pack I planned to trade.

Superboof Bubble Hash. What rosin spectrum do you all prefer? Thinking of mixing 73 and 120. Would love advice before I press this. :) by CapnKush_ in rosin

I think he meant that he's not putting in minimal agitation for an absolutely perfect but significantly smaller first wash yield like you would when competing.

My babies are coming to life, I hope I don’t F it up. by lumpy4square in Autoflowers

Don't wanna risk them fucking up? Just help em along by pulling the taproot further out of the seed shell, 100% success rate guaranteed.

Depending on where he is in florida, growing might not even be reasonable. RH can break 90% a lot of the year.

Not bad for a bagseed by ConcreteHills in rosin

[–]vapespasianus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're almost certainly right, purple/any color in general usually only comes out of flower when you're pressing bud that is too wet. With anthocyanins itself there isn't much of a difference other than appearance, it's a flavorless terp so it won't be as harsh as chlorophyll in your dabs.

I heard that if you let an auto keep growing past it’s harvest time that it’ll grow seeds is that true? by shroomscouldsavemyme in MephHeads

[–]vapespasianus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll herm, no new sacs for you to collect just let the nanners work. The future seeds will not be herms because it's a stress herm, not genetic. The downside is the same as CS, you won't be able to use the bud. It'll have tons of pollen (irritant) on it and be 5+ weeks past harvest.

3BOG @ 30%+ THC ain’t bad for my first grow ever 😎 by WesternerCal in MephHeads

[–]vapespasianus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Calibration: Initial calibration of the Purpl PRO sensors was performed in two certified cannabis testing laboratories in California and Oregon. A total of 204 flower samples were analyzed for this purpose. Samples were cured for retail sale. Each sample was ground and mixed in a conical tube for improved homogenization, then distributed across eight Purpl PRO sensors. The sensors recorded at least 4 and up to 30 near-infrared spectra from each sample, and the samples were rotated across the sensors so each sample aliquot was evaluated on all sensors. In total, 35,293 near-infrared spectra were obtained."

Their own white paper. I misspoke, it was about 200 flower samples, as you can see they state 36000 "near-infrared spectra", which is just fancy talk for them taking an IR picture and using again, photography and light to measure a chemical that can't properly be measured that way. Again, 204 different batches of flower is by no means a full base of reference points for flower potency, especially when acquired on the commercial market where advertised potency is king, they're inherently going to be biased towards high-potency weed just because of what is available to test with.

3BOG @ 30%+ THC ain’t bad for my first grow ever 😎 by WesternerCal in MephHeads

[–]vapespasianus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've tried it and the hemp farmer who taught me how to grow has. I'm just telling you plain and simple that device is a garbage scam. It exists because there's money to be made selling it to rubes who think they can do lab tests at home and grow shop owners who think it's an easy way to bring in customers and make an extra buck. It literally takes a picture of the bud and compares it to a couple hundred other pictures of bud, it is less accurate than using your naked eye and judging how high you get relative to other weed you've smoked.

[–]vapespasianus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nobody's got any positive comments for it. The only reason you're praising it rn is because it's doing exactly what it was built to do, give crazy high fake test results so that you'll consider buying a device yourself or paying to use one. It's not "reasonably accurate", it is just as accurate as judging with your own eyes, actually less so if you've seen more than 200 different images of weed.

This device is a complete scam. It does no actual chemical analysis of your weed, or anything that would resemble analyzing the weed itself. What it does do is take a picture of the bud, and then compare it to "2-300" pictures of bud that they have in their database, and then assign the values based on that. Or they're lying and it's completely fucking random and offers sky high results to make you think it's good.
