Probably asked this before but anybody know what the deal is with blue skies Vienna ? I know he ripped off old timers seeds or strain as his own but why does he put so much hate on everyone ? I follow him on YouTube and always ask if I can get cuts of his rks strain and he always puts an email out for me to order seeds but I just don't get it if he has the rks surely he'd have a cut and people would wanna work with him either giving him Pollen or with pollen off him just don't get him it seems obvious he hasn't got it but constantly says he has
Something wrong that dude. He is basicly selling open polinated esb, lot5, sunk, tom hill haze ect as road kill skunk. I didnt know you could find people to actualy sell a bag of mixed up seed for hundreds of pounds to, with out any knowledge what the exact strains are or even know what plant or strain male is father to what seed. Im sure i could mix up a huge bag of seed and then predict afew of them in every 50 might turn out very stinky.

Fair doos mate any i know had dealings with him regretted it only reason i ask lol sounds like you were lucky then
Definitely a lucky escape, I could very well have been in that fire had I stuck around.
crazy story to tell my grandkids I suppose.
been listening to his you tube channel, tbf, the first few I listened too was like listening to him on the farm, guy is knowledgeable, his story didn't change from what he told me about the lot5. He got me some legit cuts too, the albert.walker I has came through his connections. He definitely had some connections, I know that much... also alot of pseudo names and personalities too.
One thing which does stick in my mind though, he wanted me to go to morocco, meet with his 'friend's press hash to rosin and get it over to Spain on the boats. super shady when I think back too it all.
I'm just a pot head with locks to my ankles, not an international smuggler, although Howard Marks is an idle and the fantasy had crossed my mind

He'll start calling you Pablo give him half the chance ..... I've bought myself a rosin press ... pressed some sherbiker as flower rosin and the taste is great in a joint it overpowers the bud and just breaks thru .... long story short do I need a freeze dryer to dry bubble hush to make live rosin ? I know I can just cut and freeze the flower but washing and drying the bubble then does it need to be freeze dried ? Googling freeze dryer and food dehydrators are coming up can this be used instead ? Thanks

Personally he never done anything to harm me, in fact if it wasn't for him i wouldn't have had access to the genetics that I did, at the time. I have listened to a handfull his podcasts, a few early ones, seemed like I was back on the farm listening to him then the recent ones he seems very bitter and a bit delusional tbh.
I can't comment on the beans he sells but I have smoked the garlic pickle one, said it tasted like pickle onion monster munch, definitely made a lasting impression as I only come across all this from going down the an Internet wormhole on ESB, running Fleur de mal's beans, then find out he's alive and shit loads of drama around him.

I've always used a micro planer, pizza boxes and parchment paper to dry my bubble. 14 days bag it and press it. Expensive those freeze dryers aren't they?

Yh I Carn justify that price for a personal grower and I ain't growing enough to make it worth while .... I really fancy some live rosin tho I'm yet to get a dab pen or e rig to fully experience the flavour of rosin

I'm a joint smoker, love a loaded spliff with hash boulders or snakes.
I've had the displeasure of hot dabs when they first came out, haven't dabbed since.
never tried live rosin though, isn't it just a technique to separate compounds?

From what I can gather off YouTube it's just bucking your buds with a little trim as fast and possible and into the freezer ..... then run through bubble bags to collect the frozen heads then dried sieved and bagged and pressed and I think that's the correct process most videos I watched have freeze dryers tho ... they're also doing full grows dedicated to hash which I am not

make one batch and won't make another for a while probably atleast with pressing flower if some nice bud comes around its a simple press and your done

I do prefer roisin vs bho or co² extracts but i prefer well made dry sift hash over any other concentrate overall mate it's what i started on so its always gonna have the top spot for me i guess

Has anyone ever tested their bud for THC %?
Testing equipment is very expensive but here's a reasonably priced one.
We just purchased a THC Test kit by tCheck. $420 - £335 between 4 so £84 each.
One of mates has it just now and I'm getting it next week to have a go.


Mate said
1 of the WW x GG#4 phenos was 18.2% the other WW x GG#4 was 31.2%
Was tested twice and gave the exact same result, thats total canabinoids not just thc

Yes I have a tCheck and I love it. Both flower and concentrates. It does what I need it to do (make more uniformly potent edibles).

So its semi reliable you reckon ? I have wondered about it i just never took the plunge with any of the test kits yet i know some who have sent samples to spain to get em tested tho but thats a lil risky from the uk so if you can get one half decent that be very handy

Aye it wont spit out 42% thc if its accurate most testing in the industry tends to get inflated and 31% total cannibinoids is alot for one plant btw

I haven't sent out a sample to see if it measures exactly the same as calibrated lab equipment. I've used it more like my bathroom scale vs the scale in the doctor's office. So I'm not sure it's completely calibrated but so far the results have been reliable and consistent. By that I mean the edible doses feel the same. So a 10 mg gummy I make consistently feels like another 10 mg gummy I make. So far over the past year or so I've owned it it has been consistent and that's what I've needed.

Fair doos sounds ok i might need to give em a bash as i always wonder and as smoking them separately is about as much testing as i do currently lol

Exactly, mine is for my own personal enjoyment so I only bought it because I got tired of the initial edible from every new batch of extract being a potential space shot. This takes the guessing out of it.
