Thanks Rosebud. Actually I'm re-vegging all 3 LCG and the single BW to pull clones from in a few weeks, I hope. Going to put them into aero-hydro. My 1st set of clones I put into potting soil, they didnot do so good, so I tossed them...
I'll post the smoke report later today. I am very pleased w/the yield outcome. We have a Winter storm coming thru, going to make hash-oil and cannabutter these next few days..Thanks again

Did you give your clones enough time? Like 15 days? I have tossed some too.

Lot's of weed Fader ... Congrats

Very nice fader. I could use a couple of jars like that. Pure smoking pleasure, that's what I'm talking about. GREEN MOJO for the next grow. PEACE!!!

congrats on the harvest bro,great job my friend

Hate the @^*&ing winters. Snowed in for 3 days!! Btw thanks meetmrfirst2, powerplanter, bho_expertz and Rosebud. Well heres the Gold Smoke Report


Strain: World of Seeds Landrace Colombian Gold

Grow System: DIY Aero-Hydro

Lights: CFLs, 500watts for vegging, 1290watts for flowering

Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Flora Bloom, Flora Micro Nutrients, Botanicare Calmag+, distilled water

Yield: 3 plants yielded 11 pint jars, or 9.75+ oz. Dominate LCG#1= 6 pints/5.40 oz., #2 LCG = 4 pints/4.32 oz., #3 LCG 1 pint/1.03 oz total of 10.75 oz. Average of 3.58 oz./plant, not bad w/CFLs!!!!

Growth difficulty: easy for indoors, great for hydro or aero-hydro, great for beginners

Bag Appeal: 09/10
It's nice and green with plenty of brown/gold hairs

Smell: 08/10
When it is growing it smells like over-ripened citrus fruit. When it is dry it smells a lot more even more pungent.

Taste: 08/10
Smokes really smooth and burns slowly. The taste is exactly the way it smells. Not harsh at all.

The High: 08/10
At first you notice the uplift from it, kinda gets the head thinking" a lot". It then seems to totally relax the mind and body very nicely. It can have some couch-lock effect if you smoke all day long, but does finish out nicely. I have not experience any psychedelic effects yet, perhaps after the cure process

High Breakdown

Uplifting= 08/10
Stoner effect=06/10
Body effects=08/10
Couch-lock=05/10.

The High after the Cure:
to be continued in 3 or 4 weeks

Comments: Easy to grow, great for my Lymes disease, awesome head and body high, totally relaxed from head to toe, but as of yet I’m not convinced it was the smoke in the 70's. After the cure process in a few weeks perhaps it maybe the same. I’ll do a following up.


Thanks everybody for following my gj, your support and friendship..stay safe.

Burping jars for an hour per day gets little old, but has greatly paid off. The Gold just got sweeter and sweeter, more potent. The high is now more intense than ever, not to mention the sugar leaves trim made excellent hash oil, "honey oil".

The Blue is simply awesome as well and smells like juicy fruit gum and taste like fresh blueberries. The buzz is even better than the gold. Both strains are simply awesome....Only problem I have w/both strains is they both keep me awake at nights, so I need to finish the day w/indica strain to sleep...find a balance so to speak...

The re-vegging process is going very well. For a few days I had thought it would not take....but they all came around nicely, so another grow is on!!!!

Will post a few photos in a week or so, take care

Have you made bho Fader ? What info have u followed ? Mine harvest is coming soon and still don't know what do to with the leaves ... BHO ou Ice ...

Glad that you are happy

instructions for hash oil....

Step 1. Get some alcohol
The active ingredients in marijuana dissolve readily in alcohol. You can find rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) at any drug store. It is cheap -- usually about a dollar per bottle.
BE SURE YOU DO NOT GET DENATURED ALCOHOL. Denatured alcohol contains ingredients that can be POISON. "Denaturing" is a process where they add ingredients to make the alcohol unsuitable for human consumption. If you use "denatured" alcohol, you will wind up with hashish that is unsafe to consume, and it will probably taste terrible, too.
If you cannot find alcohol in your drug store, you can also use any high-alcohol content rum or vodka, such as Everclear. If you are going to use rum or vodka you should note that the alcoholic beverage may contain additional ingredients that may modify the flavor of the resulting hashish, or make it harsher to smoke. Plain alcohol is to be preferred, and plain alcohol is cheaper.

Please be extremely careful when you are handling alcohol. Do not smoke or get near open flame while you are doing this process. Alcohol can be extremely flammable, and it burns with a flame that is often hard to see until it is too late. Some methods elsewhere recommend evaporating the alcohol off by heating the mixture on a stove. I would NOT recommend that. For one thing, the alcohol vapor can be extremely flammable and, because the flames are hard to see, you can have a big problem (like the whole house burning down) before you know it. For another, the alcohol vapor can get you very seriously drunk in a hurry. Seriously. You can a couple of good whiffs and be staggering.

Step 2. Grind up your weed.
You will get the most out of this process if your cannabis is ground as finely as possible. You can just soak the leaves whole and get satisfactory results, but grinding the weed will allow the alcohol to get to all the plant fiber to get the most out of it. Just put the weed in a blender and let it run until the material is thoroughly pulverized.

Step 3. Soak the marijuana in alcohol
Put the marijuana in a jar that can be sealed tightly and pour the alcohol over it. Put enough alcohol in so there is enough to cover the marijuana completely, and then some. Let it sit for about 24 hours. By the end of 24 hours, the alcohol will have turned distinctly green. (If you have real bunk, the alcohol may turn brown.)

Step 4. Filter out the plant fiber
Pour the liquid through a coffee filter into another jar. This will remove the plant fiber and give you a green alcohol mixture that contains alcohol and the active ingredients from the marijuana.

Step 5. Let the alcohol evaporate.
The final step is to pour the mixture into a bowl and let it evaporate. Depending on the amount of alcohol in the mixture, it might take a day or so.
Some other methods recommend heating the mixture on the stove to evaporate off the alcohol. This can be dangerous, as described above. It is far better to just be patient and let the alcohol evaporate naturally. It takes a little longer, but it is far safer and a lot less work.
This will leave you with a form of hashish. The result will be a thick green kind of tar. It can be difficult to work with or smoke, just because it is so concentrated and sticky, but it is useable at this point.

Step 6. Enjoying the result
Smoking it in a pipe.
If you put this hash oil in a pipe, it will bubble and cook like road tar. Because of this, getting a good high from it may be difficult with conventional smoking methods. It is not that you can't get high -- you can -- it will just be more work than smoking a joint and you may wind up with a clogged pipe. Think of how difficult it is to work with road tar and you will get some idea of what it is like.

Vaporizing it
An alternative method is to put the hash oil in a spoon or on a piece of tin foil. Then heat the spoon or tin foil from below and inhale the smoke that comes off it by using a straw. Using a conventional vaporizer is not recommended unless you use something to protect the vaporizer from the hash oil melting down into it. Hash oil can be difficult to clean up, and you could just wind up ruining an expensive vaporizer.
Pouring it over other marijuana

An alternative method is to pour the liquid onto another batch of marijuana, and let the alcohol evaporate from that. The end product will be easier to smoke if you do this, because it has the plant fiber to help it burn. You probably don't want to pour it over really good grades of weed, because it will probably change the flavor for the worst. However, if you have some marijuana laying around that is only of mediocre quality, it can improve the quality significantly and make it acceptable for smoking in desperate times.

Hoped it helped, it worked well but took awhile for it to evaporate until I stuck a running fan into the room were the bowl was, it cut the evap time way down.....

Thanks for the post fader. Respect

No problem, that's why we learn more each day.....thanks for stopping by...

Fader, You are not complaining about jar burping are you??
There was a day when you would have given anything for a jar to burp, or at least I would have.

Have a good Valentines evening.

No Rosebud, I'm not complaining about the cure, it's essential imo...to get it to Grade A bud...hash oil...potential cure for lymes perhaps...who knows, just tired of being sick all the time....

Hope and yours had a touching Valentines Day...

I am sorry you feel like crap Fader. I hope the hash oil is the thing. Do you have your next grow lined up? what are you getting for an indica?

Thanks for your kind words, next grow??? Re-vegging the 3 golds and the blue for the moment until I can take cuttings, perhaps in 2 weeks. I have some old 2005 Nivina bubbledelicious reg. seeds, a few Red Dragon fem. seeds. Might buy some fem. Northern Lights #5, or whatever is 100% indica. But for now w/reveg and some potential germination is in my future, but probably be gone for awhile, Harley season is gonna be here soon. Plan to pull my Fatboy out to detail this week, temps in the low 60's by this thursday.......can't wait, truely

Photos, 1st one day of the cut, 2nd one is today, the re-veg....
