I save them LOL

I normally save, wash and reuse since I am a tad cheap BUT I Black Bear decided it should taste them while they were soaking in a bucket even the bucket now has drainage holes lol

The solo cups they sell at the store, and the clear cups do not fit together right because of the proprietary square bottom that Solo has... I do the cup-in-cup method just so I can see the roots.

I found a set of generics that nest nicely, and also some slightly smaller clear cups that work for a dome if I am not filling a propagator. These smaller ones (8oz) is the same thing.

I only realized there were two types of 18 oz solo cups when I was stacking them for washing some were square other round I didn't notice when I bought them dam getting old sucks

Pretty deep song. I linked "at current time" to where the radio version starts. The first part doesn't thrill me.

For anyone dealing with anything from old age aches and pains to something terminal it puts things in perspective. Choosing to be here...

Normal brain: This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Giant brain: Embrace this moment remember, we are eternal, this pain is an illusion

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Alive

This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...
Of what it means to be alive

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion. ​

Something impressive about the song itself is about the 10 minute mark they launch into something completely different that could have been the basis for a whole new sone - they used it as a cool throw-away ending.

I may be on to something...

Instead of using a cardboard tip I just stuck it on a funnel and started packing the cone. some fell out the bottom to start, but eventually a clump stuck. I packed the butt end before I twisted it.

Here's what my epiphany was - it doesn't un-twist like a regular joint at the end, and you don't get that cardboard terp from the tip.

That cone roller looks pretty nice. I'm a sucker for stupid shit like that because I suck at rolling. I've been stuffing prerolled cones but I might need to order one of those and give it a try.

Shit works super nice.
I like using this dudes technique

Didn't even click it Doob-tube packing?

Nice idea but unless you pack the bottom first it's a floppy mess - unless you are packing with powdered weed. I have a little plastic kitchen funnel that works perfect with a chopstick to pack it.

Hey @H.A.F. , remember your candelabra plant? Saw this on Facebook today.

They trained it like that - no missing limbs. I was doing the lazy-ass version and just snipped every other node

My Christmas shopping for me is done. The Exotic and Ethos 5-packs of regs and the Ethos 3-pack of fems are the freebies. Coincidentally, the Crescendo was on my shopping list but out of stock. Freebies rock!
Romulan x C99 regs from Duke Diamonds Vault and Mountain Berry fems from Dominion check Duke off my list. Covert and Lucky Dog were also "get something" just to grow from that breeder. The Ethos Member Berry was the only one specifically on my list of strains to try.


I think all the 5-pack regs I have collected are going to the back of the line after I've tried the other stuff.
Those probably start the either long-veg or drop-then-clone-just-in-case-it's-fire runs later on.

Another strain I'd like to try is Cokehead Slut from Matt Riot - sue me

Oi Nice H.A.F. I snagged some Black Friday beans myself and should be receiving a fresh pack of regs of Jawa Pie from Vader, Platinum Kush X Platinum Cookies from Katsu Bluebird(Platinum Club Only... Oh the irony ) very soon.
I wanted to snag a pack of dubstep or Gorilla OG Kush from Greenpoint's black friday sale but they were out. I am thinking about trying a pack of their new regs that are about to drop but not sure which one to pick. Probably go with Dawg Lemons or Cowboy Cookies.

I have his Lemon Tree S1, I got a bland one and a fire one, but I am assuming he would have selected a good one to breed with, the fire is in there - and the stardawg is fire.

County Line Hash Plant(accept for #2) & Harlets are coming right up. Norther lights might be a mutant....

I have a cut of BCL2 which I took a couple days after I flipped mom to flower and it looks like I caught her a bit late as she is growing ugly but she is healthy. What is the best practice to go at a clone that you end up taking too late? Just let it grow ugly until it starts throwing 5's again then defoliate all the crap underneath and then flip it to flower?

Budderton's Lemon Slush x Babboon Wine 4 tops are spreading out nicely. So do I end up topping 1 more time H.A.F. or just roll with the 4?

I am just doing the bagseed, so I was not concerned with weight. If I have fire the rest will get treated like my purchased beans. I flipped at one month and should get about an ounce, maybe closer to two based on the manifold.

If you already know you like it I would keep it at 4, but veg longer and keep pruning lower stuff. I doubt 8 tops provides twice the weight of 4 tops. But the longer veg will make the 4 produce better.

 

[H.A.F.]

@Zaphod420 the other thing I forgot to mention is that there is no larf. if you have them laying out flat for a few nodes for space, then snip the junk from a few nodes on the vertical, you are looking at about a 6-7wk veg. At some point you can leave the lower stuff and let some lower limbs get a few nodes on them and it'll all be dense.

As far as 8 tops or more it would be the same theory. I wouldn't top again unless you were looking to veg for another few weeks to get that sturdy maturity to the limbs before you flip.

Just topping for two doesn't mean a one ounce tree will now give you two ounces.
Topping for four won't turn it into a four ounce plant.
There are diminishing returns, 8 was my limit.

I shake so bad I have had a zig zag cig roller forever the cone roller looks cool and no one would know lol

Any smooth cone that has a good thin taper. A plastic artist brush handle, the right kitchen gadget, whatever.

The ConeRoller has the cool little tines to hold onto a tip, but I just use it to insert the tip after. If you put it on first it tries to unroll and you get a sloppy mess.

So you put the cone on fairly tight but make sure that it's not wrinkled or folded. Then you hold it loosely and slide it up the cone until it's tight, and you have very little paper touching at the end for the gum to hold. You're twisting that anyway.

Then pop the cone off so the gum doesn't stick to the roller. fold up the tip then roll it backwards so you can twist it forwards into the cone. when you get it close you can twist the roller to tighten up the tip so it can go further. Rolling the tip on backwards it doesn't grab that inner flap of paper.

 

[H.A.F.]

Damn I'm high. BUT...

Since I am doing it without the tip what works is just hold the end closed with a roach clip. Slide the cone over a funnel and just let the roach clip hang while you pack it. I always put a little bit in first and make sure it's packed well by the tip, then dump the funnel full and jam in all it can hold with a chopstick.
