So far all 3 pucks I’ve pressed have done this. 2 7 gram and 1 3.5 gram puck . I figured it should be flat. 7 gram puck on 10 ton 3x5 plate , i have a pre press and trying “bottle tek” . I place puck in put it about a fingers width from the edge of the plates and close it down till I feel a bit of restriction. Let preheat 30 seconds and then I go to 1000 psi for 20-30 seconds and then go to 2000ish for the remainder of the 3.5 min . I’m wondering if I’m not closing down on my press enough during the heat up phase . I’m wondering if it shoulda been a lil more closed down on my pre heat . Any tips advice or tricks greatly appreciated. Never seen a press before much less owned and operated one . My dab came out really oily it’s almost impossible to collect using a dab tool unless I froze it lol but it smacks and taste and smells amazing. The bud is some leftover stuff from a October harvest that’s been in grove backs without any humidity packs ever since so I’m wondering if that’s the cause of the oiliness it’s definitely dryer then you’d want but I figured I’d practice with it a few times before I get into my fresher packs
So I have two separate 3 lb grain bags 1 north spore and 1 Boomer Shroomer , that are a few days away from S2B imo . I have 3 5lb Boomer Bags from Northspore . And I have 2 - 28 quart Monotubs . I originally planned to only spawn 1 grain bag at first . If I use 1 3 lb grain bag and 2 5lb substrates would that be to thick of a cake for that size mono tub? I figured if I only used 1 grain bag and 1 substrate would that be too much grain? Would the cake have issues retaining moisture as well? I’m completely noob and am in dire need of direction .
I have 3 jelly breaths and 3 sluricanes. I have my mind made up on the jellybreaths , im going to toss #3 jelly breath because it has long node spacing and started getting hungry a week ago where the others still are pushing through with no issues. Since I’m going to flower jellybreath #1 & #2 , I just figured I’d flower slurricanes #1 & #3 as they are all 4 the exact same height and they all appear to have the same watering and nutrient needs. I had planned to toss out # 2 slurricane as it was a solid 8” taller then the rest of the plants I plan to flower an has longer node spaceing, and it tends to dry out faster then the other 4 . But last night I figured I’d defoliate and lolipop just as practice and to my suprise 3 of the main branches are triploids ? My question is should I say screw an even canopy and flower this pheno solely on it being a triploid? Or should I stick to my original plan and flower the 4 that have tighter node spacing and all the same height?
Ps in this picture it’s hard to tell the height difference between them as I had already put clips on all the main tops in attempt to let the others catch up , but it was a minimum 8” taller. If I was only flowering 1 plant I would definitely pick it to flower as it’s been happy and growing fast , but since I’ll be taking 4 into flower I don’t want to end up with a plant hogging up all the room . Hope that made sense I suck at getting stuff from my mind onto paper.
So I thought I had my minds made up because I’m going to flower jelly breaths #2 & #1 because jelly breath #3 has really far node spacing and got hungry a week ago and has received the same exact nutrients as every other plant . so I automatically figured I’d flower sluricanes # 1& #3 as number 2 is a good bit taller and has farther node spacing. But I was practicing defoliating and lolipoping on #2 last night and to my surprise #2 has 3 main branches that are triploids. Should I say screw an even canopy and run the #2 all because it’s a triploid or stick to original plan and grow the 4 that all have similar growth patterns and water uptake the triploid plant has a higher water uptake so far. It’s hard to tell because in this picture it already has clips on most of the mains but it was a solid 6-8 “ taller before I put clips in .
Sprouted march 31 in solo cups with plain gai green living soil 10% castings 15 % pumice 8%Biochar . I up potted on April 12th to 3 gallon with the same ratio except I added 3 tablespoons/gallon of gai green 4-4-4 . I let that mix sit “cooking in a tub for 5 days before I up potted . I have been giving compost/molasses/Kelp extract/ MycosWp teas every 2 weeks . As well as a kelp foliar . I just recently (3 days ago) gave its first dose of Cronk PurCalmag . I have some bio-ag ion 14 silcon ordered I plan to start this week when arrives . My plans are to veg Another 30 days or so probably get my trellis up in 2 weeks or so and flower the best 2 of each strain , (right now leaning towards the shorter phenos as they have tighter nodes . I’m going to use the same ratios for soil except I’ll do 50/50 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 when I transplant to 5 gallon a week before flower and do my defoliation and lollipop . First In House Genetics run . Anyone used a trellis with these strains before ? In a 4x4 under ac infinity evo 8 currently receiving 500 PPFD it’s set at a 4out of 10 at 16-20 “
Last pics are of some branches forming where the Cotyledon leaves was never noticed it before have y’all?

I won a 200$ gift card in a photo contest and was wanting to upgrade my tent with either the aI controller , or the full spectrum 16” under canopy lights and the Uv lights 11 “ 4 bar . I’m kinda thinking about getting the aI controller now and then buying the lights later because my controller is maxed out rn , I could use the small controller the lights come with but I like being able to see and control everything via app . Or would y’all get lights now and controller later . Tent is a 4x4 with a evo 8 light .
