Nov 11: perfect weekend weather for hash washing . Gelato produced several nice rounds of very high grade extract. Now in freezer until my freeze dryer is hooked up by electrician. Yield is okay, not great, and Percentage yield TBD.
Once resin was frozen, I spayed some water on it all to make a thin ice cap to prevent oxidation from air while waiting in the freezer. The idea is to minimize the potential for oxidation at each step in the process. An ice cap is likely much more reliable than Saran Wrap over the tray.
Been trying 120 micron reject already and I can tell this is going to be awesome hash. Even the reject stuff totally bubbles and melts when smoked. Very exciting.
Used 160/120/45/45 micron bags and 3/3/4/6/9/12 minute washes. Final material in photo is all from 45 micron bag except nearest which is from 120 micron bag.
@Dutchfem_Seeds, you’re right and point taken, I’ll keep an eye on it…the daytime humidity is always very low (25%)here and I’ve been spraying the leaves a few times a day with city water which is very good but high-ish pH (8+). I keep a 20 L pail of water on the go for the whole garden, to let it degas for a day before use, but sometimes I just mist from the garden hose. Should be okay, but what do you think, should I lower the pH a bit?
@Northern_Ent, at this stage with this plant height they only need about 40ml water per day. The rest of the soil should be dry/moist for best growing condition. Your plants always look awesome so i am sure you will make these a succes too. Cheers! 👌
@Dutchfem_Seeds, thanks for the comment. I’ve made the same observation about other people’s grows too, but I don’t think I’m overwatering. I likely took the pic right after watering.
We have cool overnight temps, and my plants always look small at this stage. Nice weather now and she’ll start growing quickly.
@BudBoutique, thanks. Haven’t tried any yet as I just took it down yesterday. Couple colas hanging to dry but mostly fresh frozen. I need to get an electrician in to set up my freeze dryer and once that happens I’ll be making piatella hash. I have liked Gelatos from other breeders so I’m looking forward to this one.
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
