There are 3 kinds of bagseed and Juicy fruit on the trays right now...

I have a c99 mom and I have 4 WW seedlings, that I hope one will be a mom... but I have never flowered any of these...

Juicy Fruit is the only pure bred I have ever flowered...

Ah.. thanks...

But I think they suck...

I have had them come in with those weight when DRY...

These were just the same as the last batch I was bitching about before... too small....

and a bit early too, but I had bigger clones rooted and ready to go in.. so...

But the next harvest, should be 10 days or so... will be much healthier, and very different looking, as it will be mostly Sativas...

Anyways...

Cheerio!

MMMMM.Looking so nice.

GypsyBush said:

Thanks for the kind words everyone...

As many of you know, I have a perpetual harvest...

Sooo.. I get to chop plants often,,,

And I get to make kief often...lol..

I got some super sugary on the drying rack, but I thought I'd share the few buds I chopped....

Please note that the weight is fresh and wet, I expect it to cure at about 1/4 of that weight...

Cheers...

Hey!gypsy.I found this on ebay.I know they use this stuff to gather the really fine kief to make the golden colored hash which is ideal.Put it on a frame and you're in business!http://cgi.ebay.com/Silk-Screen-Printing-Mesh-120-40-x-63-Fabric-Tools_W0QQitemZ280341637791QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4145a9ea9f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1199|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

Yeah I have gotten some REALLY NICE lollipops...

And I'll get back to them, these were just a case of "something is better than nothing".. so I put miniatures in...

But hopefully I will not run out of full sized clones again...

Cheers mate...

Yeah, I did the same thing with my first grow.

It's got a bit of leaf material in with it... hence the green color, but I am not complaining ... lol...

I'm working on a finer mesh as we speak..lol...

Thanks for dropping by!

Shit, you could get some of that silk screen stuff and use an embroidery hoop..it will hold it in place and you can remove the material and wash it easily......http://cgi.ebay.com/BLUE-Pastel-10-EMBROIDERY-Punchneedle-hoop-S-Bates_W0QQitemZ370098754114QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item562b9ad242&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50 They even have them with stands, but those are more expensive.

Stoney... have I ever told you that YOU ROCK!!!!!

Hey, I'm cheap!I always try to find the cheap way to do shit.You'd put the cloth in backwards,if there's a side that should be facing out,tighten it, and flip it over...the hoop provides a lip that your trim won't spill over..and then you collect your kief.

hey if you get the silkscreen make sure its 100 micron or smaller. and ive used silkscreen and metal screen and they both get cloged fast and the silkscreen is a bitch to clean. the metal i just scrub with a toothbrush and its clean. plus the metal one will last alot longer so i think its worth the extra money.

Wow, GypsyBush, I'm very impressed. Great Thread! I love the way you used pics instead of words.


I saw your link on Al B Fucts new thread, and am glad I did.

I've tried the bubblebags and ice water, nearly froze my hands off. I tried the BLENDER method, and made a mess, I tried the Coffee Grinder method, again still made a mess, and now I use a ten inch Keif Box from Wicca and I like it best..

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Price:$65.00[/FONT]

This is a WICCA Kief box, the very best one that I can find. There is one slightly larger and one slightly smaller, and they do make HIGH GRADE blonde Hash from trim leaves. You can buy them at a "head shop" or "smoke shop" or "herbal accessories" store or order them off the internet. I hated the GRINDER Box or Spaceship Box. They make low grade green or brown grade hash.
With my box, I can freeze some trim leaves, and sit on the sofa and watch a football game at the same time I rub my trim around in the box. Also, inbetween crops, I can use my box as a rolling tray, and after a week or two, get a good bowl of kief from the box.

nice box... whats all the other stuff it comes with?

In the box, is a tray, with 100 silk screen that sits in the box over a mirrow.
It has a two inch wide strip of wood, about 5 inches long, with a strip of leather at each end. Says the kief won't stick to leather. You use it like a rake, to rake the trim leaves around in the box.
And ti has a plastic square, about one and half inches wide and long, for sweeping up the kief off the mirror.

Even if someone is not a grower, they ought to get one. I can roll a joint of two everyday for a week in it, and get two bowls of kief.
I can freeze my trim leaves, rake them around, and then re-freeze them again, rake them around some more, and I get more kief. I don't do my buds, just my leaves, except he buds I am about to smoke.

I got a buddy who bought a DIY box off ebey for $25......was just as good, I think.

wow thats really nice... i got a 100 mesh metal screen in a box with black glass on the bottom. but it was for $70. this looks like a better deal.
