Club 600

Morning all,

Great stuff Medhead, looks like you got yer hands (bucket) full there!

I am trying to figure out what sort of cup that is in the pic. I also have those bonsai trimmers so I know the size of them, but that MacD's cup looks way too small (perhaps coffee - do people actually drink coffee from McD's?)

Day of preperation for the long weekend for me.

Peace, DST

It's a happy meal toy from the late 90's. Transforming food. They made fries, a burger, and a few others

Bloody hell, I had half a dozen men on my roof terrace this morning again checking for leaks (still got 2 out there at the moment). Some of the guys left and one of them said, I can smell weed, a lot of it! Eeeck!!!
I said, yup, I just chopped some down (3 large outdoor pots sitting there). Guys seems okay but I am a bit para. Stinky room is locked up tight! Builders have been delivered tea and coffee.

Slower is better imo, plus I feel like I have more control using a humidifier. Just the thought of spraying my buds with water feels weird.


Good going Medhead.
Im guessing 26 oz in the bucket


Its not in jars yet though hs. I guess they are hanging in a room.
Sucks about FC, a steo in the wrong direction... Now they can have a town full of even more drunk people.

O in that case i would say jar them and hope for the best i would never spray water on my shit... Or raise the humidity in the room as much as possible but id rather jar it and hope for the best. Thats what seems to work for me

Good day all. Having my coffee and stumbled on this that I'd like to share with the class.



An Introduction to cannabis Trichomes

Non glandular trichomes:

These have two forms. Both these types produce no psychoactive substances, they are:
a. Short and pointed.
b. Long hair like and pointed ie: very sharp. Both are made of calcium carbonate crystal and are clear like glass.

Glandular trichomes:

There are three glandular trichome forms, all have a membrane over a group of resin producing base cells. These are what produce the psychoactive effects from cannabis

1. Bulbous trichomes: Are very very small and only 15 microns across, they help to produce the terpenoids that make up the aromas of cannabis, they may also produce small amounts of psychoactive substance.

2. Capitate sessile trichomes: These are a little larger, at about 30 microns across appear to be attached directly to leaf surface, like tiny clear mushroom heads, these contribute small amounts of psychoactive substance.

3. Capitate stalked trichomes: Are what we associate with trichomes and cannabis, they are the main producer of psychoactive resin, the mushroom like head is produced on top of a stalk. They are what we see making the flower heads and sugar leaves looking frosty. The heads are 50 to over a 100 microns across. The head has an abscission layer between it and the stalk, so it is detachable. Only the heads contain the resin, they are like balloons filled with psychoactive oil globules. As far as I know no one has done any real work to see if the different glandular trichome types contain different psychoactive ingredients. Only the capitate stalked trichomes type are extracted on their own, the capitate heads separate easily from their stalks, these heads are what bubble bags and tumblers collect to make hash.

It is often reported that eating grass can upset your stomach. This can happen if eaten without heating it first. Heating melts the pointed non glandular trichomes otherwise they can irritate the stomach walls while being digested.

Below is a picture showing both stalked capitate trichomes and the very sharp non glandular types.

Interesting that a particular type alone contains the terpinoids.
Nice find Duchie!

That was a little new to me, as well as the specific sativa trichomes and the true amber thing. There is a great forum entry I just read on drying and curing but I don't want to be getting in any trouble posting it here being that its from another forum.

Found some info on CBD's from the project CBD website

"Cannabinoids in Harlequin Leaf?
Earlier this year Wilson Linker, a sales executive at Steep Hill Lab, tested leaves taken from a Harlequin plant about five weeks after it was started indoors from a clone. "Still completely in veg," he says of the plant. Linker took leaves from different various parts of the plant, ground them up, and tested them by GC/MS. To his surprise, the leaf tested at approximately 4% CBD and 2% THC (see illustration)

Linker repeated the test and confirmed the results with another Harlequin clone started the same day. Key questions will be answered by more testing: Do all Harlequin plants produce cannabinoids in the vegetative state? Do other CBD-rich strains have this trait?

"The true benefit," says Linker, "would be that you could extract the CBD in mid-summer, not wait for buds before harvesting. There's obvious implications for making edibles and tinctures. Imagine not having to deal with a harvest!"

Very good drying and curing tutorial.

very good info........
i can tell now,that im gonna have to let these go for 64-70 days

Interesting post. I still find drying the whole plant with all material still on it a pain in the arse when it comes to trimming. Ah well, each to their own as he said as well.

I agree. I tried the whole plant thing once and it was a pain. I do think I need to slow down on my drying and get that tuned in. The other key thing I noted in here is the importance of extraction and getting the stale, moist air away from the buds, not blowing air. Passive intake I think is idea with a small, indirect fan circulating and and extraction fan sucking out old and pulling in new.

I would just like to throw up some photsos of my current grow.
My plan was to grow 4 pineapple express in each of my 2 4x4 tents. I had 5-6 last time and I feel like I was wasting space with all the stretch.
So I went for 4 in each and let them bush out by topping them when they were young.

I was on a budget so decided to order a pack of coco bricks. NEVER AGAIN!
It said 60L on the pack. So I got 2 (I have 9 13.5l pots to fill), turns out that 2 packs only made me about 50L. Whats that about?
not to mention me making a huge mess of the place, blocking up drains and all in all a total ballache of a job.

So after filling half my pots with the brick coco I went and grabbed some bags of canna coco.
filled up my other pots and off I they went.

I had 9 clones. they all took off at the same time. Apart from staying in a small pot for a few days too long and catching a tiny bit of N def they turned out great.
I vegged for about 4 weeks and then switched over to 12/12 a few days ago.

Now I had allready noticed that the ones in the coco brick were not growing as fast... and their branches wouldnt thicken up properly.... IT must be the coco brick right?
all of my plants in the bagged loose coco are great. couldnt be better.
I wont be buying it again anyway thats for sure.

Im a little pissed off because my yield will suffer a LOT because of this......

as you can see from this sample...




and this is the same kitten I took a photo with a chronic last grow..

again in the loose coco.


Really happy with this pineapple express at the moment.
Had some very happy customers.

the high is very very nice. heavy but not too heavy and puts everyone in a great chilled mood. great for social get togethers which seems to be my customer base so thats great.
So many greedy dealers around my area that when im ready to sell they all crazy for it. Low prices, Gret high/smell/taste and bag appeal. what more can you ask for.

as long as it is flat white, you are golden

I went with a flat latex for the inside of a cabinet I just did. NO ACRYLICS. I was under the impression to stay away from glossy so don't know what the superwhite is about.

ultra white is there way of saying pure white in color they told me at homedepot who knows
