Thanks for sharing, this is a cool process!
Can you help me understand what the point of decarboxylation is in this context if it will be heated (and thus decarboxylated) before being inhaled anyway? I understand the point if you’re going to eat it, but I’ve never understood the reason for the extra step when making live rosins for cartridges.
“it’s not the CEOs fault they’re fuckin’ ghouls, bruv” - this guy
Silliest thing I’ve read all day that you can’t say happy birthday to a stranger and mean it sincerely. Preposterous.
Whatever though, I’ll respect your wishes, and won’t say it. BUT I STILL SINCERELY HOPE TODAY IS THE TINIEST BIT LESS SHIT THAN USUAL FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON WHATSOEVER.
Also, you don’t own me, I can care about whomever I fucking want, and that includes you, asshat.
Do Not Inventory. I think?
I think you may have overcorrected with the flush after trying to balance the excess nutrients. Broadly, it almost looks like it’s a sulfur deficiency? Difficult to be sure through photos, and honestly it matches a few possibilities so I don’t really know for sure.
The drooping really feels like a watering issue. How damp is the soil if you go down a few inches?
I don’t give up on plants very often, preferring to run them into the ground in the hopes of learning something, but I’m not positive this one can be saved.

Humidity can cause the pistils to redden early, I think you’ve still got 5-7 days until you reach the ideal harvest time based on those tricombs. (~70-75% milky) Keep an eye on it though, they can whiten up abruptly sometimes.
I use “Clock-in, counter-out”
That’s good info. Coincidentally doing my first outdoor grow this year as well. I usually germinate three and keep two (indoor), but I decided to hang on to the third and just see how it does outside. My mistake was not putting it directly in the ground like you did. She’s in a 15gal and still under-potted, meaning I have to hand feed with solution, which is absolutely not something I wanted to do when I popped it in a solo cup on a lark. Next year it’s in the ground for sure, so done with pots for my pot.
Totally get what you’re saying re: batteries. For what it’s worth, most ball vapes are plug in. Best analogy I can give is they’re basically electric bongs. If you ever get the chance to try one, don’t hesitate, I am beyond confident it will blow your socks off! For lawn-chair portability, I grab the tinymight2, and for anywhere else portability, I also still grab the rolling papers. :)
Looks really good, how long was the total grow time? I think the advantage of growing inside is speed and control, but you’re right, you can’t beat sunshine when it comes to intensity, and more importantly, simplicity.
As to your tolerance levels, have you heard about our Lord and Savior, the Ball Vape? You can get wildly more efficient with your consumption if you’re a heavy user. I easily cut down to less than half of what I was smoking while achieving the same effects. Granular temperature control also means you can tune your vaping experience to the moment; if you want couch lock, or a light feeling , whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’s only a spin of the dial away.
Cheers and thanks for sharing your grow!
Easy to welcome a war you will take no part in.
Yes, because surely more death will stop all this senseless killing.
I have been using their two part connoisseur line for a while now, and it’s generally set and forget. I would refill my bucket back up each morning to the same level, but didn’t have to bother with ph, etc., and do a full replacement every 4 days or so. I tried that with aero at first and would quickly see deficiency signs, so then I tried just letting it run down and replacing res when it’s low, but that resulted in crazy excess.
I added some additional lighting, which is helping it chew through more food, but the biggest change was refilling my ras back to roughly the same tds values a couple times a day, instead of once a day with a preset volume.
I am surprised you are PH’ing your water while running the ph perfect line. Does that have to do with running the full masters track? I didn’t really have luck moving the needle the few times I’ve tried.
From my understanding, and the marketing propaganda, the surfactants and chelation make everything available for uptake as long as the range is > 4 and < 8ish. I genuinely stopped years ago, but I do miss the control sometimes.
I use the same by happenstance, and have for many grows with my old setup. The biggest issue I was getting is nitrogen abundance, clawing, etc., while seeing obvious signs of calcium/magnesium deficiency at the same time. I would frequently get nutrient burn, but even dialing my res back 10% would result in pink stems (phosphorus deficiency).
I mostly have things stable now, but the damage is done, it looks terrible… but it’s massive so I got that goin for me I guess.
Anyway, ultimately I changed how I was topping up my reservoir and things seem better, I am just not sure if I should try something else or not on the next run.
Very nice, what nutrients are you running in your aero grow? I’ve really struggled since switching from dwc, thinking something is off with my methodology at this point.
This post reminds me of a friend of mine who likes a song so much, he will only listen to it twice a year, once on New Year’s and once on his birthday. He says each time is like the first time because “the pathways stay fresh”. He’s been consistent for at least 7 years.
If you’re curious: Toccata - OVERWERK
Are these in pots or in the ground? Those leaves look perfect, really nice one for sure.
It’s a security\legal risk to allow adhoc wireless networks within your environment, pretty much any organization above a certain size has the same restrictions.
You could theoretically allow anyone to access your router directly, which would let them bypass agreeing to the Acceptable Use Policy, for example, shifting liability back to the organization for that users behavior.
Healthy plants need to be ignored just the right amount in order to thrive. Over watering is harder to recover from than under watering, for what that’s worth. The leaves still look good, albeit a little light on nitrogen, so a full recovery is totally possible. My current grow experienced complete root loss at about the same age due to an equipment oversight, and you would never be able to tell with how lush and green it is now.
You got this!
That definitely make sense, I appreciate the elucidation. Also merrys up with my own observations of the more crystalized consistencies you get in concentrates as they approach higher purity levels. In fact, 99% pure thca pretty much looks like meth imo.
