Looks like NEFarmer‘s google post has quite a few inside the 495 belt but again irrelevant cuz we don’t know what “Eastern MA“ means, but then again I haven’t seen a repost or response to our offerings either way to this point, so it is what it is. :rolleyes:

If it's not obvious, I'm looking to make dry ice sift. Found a spot in Rockland that has it, but 25lbs is the smallest. I don't want a bunch because I've never done this method before and not sure if I will like it.

That's what I remember as a kid too. Looks like it can just be ordered online too...

Ok… you got me curious. What exactly is your end game for this dry ice? I’m strictly a flower guy, so I’m thinking you might be going in a different direction here. :blsmoke:

Dry ice extraction. Taking bud and trim material to make concentrates. Hash for the first 70 micron run, then edible grade with the 120 bag.

Hey family, well my curing has finished as I do my yearly freezer filling venison search. Sun up to sundown in 15-30F° seems to heal and regenerate the body and soul.
Sunday is a rest day, although it was last night I opened the first industrial mayonnaise sized jar and rolled a regular, cigarette sized jibber. I took a few puffs and.... wow. Just wow.
I'd like to thank my manager, and, ah, Jesus.
Seriously, I'd like to thank ALL THOSE ON THIS SITE who have helped me achieve this level. Thanks for the guidance, the pics and talks, the affirmations.
The end result was amazing.
The second season I've washed buds made a clear difference in smoothness. All the support I received (and gave) about patience, and keeping plants in as long as possible also contributed greatly to mature trikes. I think, IMO, that's where the 'levels of high' come from. The buzz doesn't just plateau and hang and drop. It takes you from one happy place to another, like waves or levels changing from 20 mins to 40 mins, it varies.
Since I'm working backwards, also thank you all for the seed knowledge and contributions. Dark Horse Genetics, and North Atlantic Seed Co. and others :cool:.
Sure, I've been growing for years, yet my relationship with RIU and the fine people on it, have helped me to attain a more focused, purer end result.
And I'm always learning new things. I love my cannabutter. And now looking at Cobbing. I'd like to take the gummy bear trail, but it's a little complicated and triggers fear or laziness in me.
I guess we all want to be successful on our cannabis endeavors. RIU and my friends here have helped this make one of my best years ever. It definitely was not one of my personal biggest grows, in fact I'd chalked it up as a straight shitty harvest. Wow - was I wrong!
So thanks friends, you all know who you are. All on my follow list.
:peace: - PVOG

Glad your new and improved greenhouse has withstood the test of time. I have no idea how I would cope with 12 foot trees LOL. Last year was a huge learning experience for me too, as it was only my second grow and the first time I planted in the ground and had to roll with the tropical storms, thunderstorms, high winds, endless fog in Sept. and Oct. and so forth. What I ultimately learned is the plants are a whole lot tougher than I thought, or at least the imported Afghan and Pakistani strains I grew are.

I ended up with almost 1,000 seeds from selective pollination in the freezer. 10 of them actually popped while still on the plants, so I said WTH and planted them at the end of Oct. Nine made it; I gave away 6 and kept three for what has to be the most abusive ghetto inside grow ever - no dedicated lights, grow tent or any of that stuff - just sunlight in the window and a few more hours under a small light. All three of the little buggers I kept are in flower and my friend says 3 of her 6 are female as well. This one is a Hawaiian Hashbud X Balkhi -

This year's grow will be The Real Seed Company's Tirah Valley, Pakistan. I'll start with ten and see how many girls I end up with. One lesson learned from last year is that these Central Asian plants really want the ground to be warm before transplanting outdoors, so they won't go out until after Memorial Day.

Just out of curiosity, when should I start my indoor seedlings for next year? I usually try to get them in the ground by May weather depending. Say I don't have a tent or grow lights. I could get some tubes I guess. I have a secret attic space. It's about 4-4.5' tall x 7' with electric outlets, I used to hang in there, still do, but it's kinda my overflow room. I could use this as a grow start room. So when should I start? Late February? March? I know I will be starting some Tirah I HOPE N PRAY as early as possible. But the seed sites, is the time they say the flower time? Or from seed? Not sure.
