Fingers crossed Salva.🤞
How are the trichomes looking on those?
Decent amount of cloudy?

Well, I don't know how the trichomes were, but I'm not liking this. Last week I cut some twigs from below and the usual thing happened. When it is a little wet it has flavor and even some effect. But it is drying up and disappearing completely instead of going further.

That does sound a bit normal to me Salva.
If you dry in an environment that is completely dark, has around 50% humidity and temps not higher than 18-20°C with a very light passive air flow to the buds you should get perfect results.
In around 10-14 days you can put these into jars (well filled) when the stems break and they are fairly dry.
Around this time I can notice a more generic "green" smell coming from them, and some plants seem to have lost their initial smells.
After 8-12 weeks in the jars and with regular burpings you can bring the moisture content slowly down.
I like to let a freshly cured bud sit for a couple of days more before using.
The resin can dry further, gives me a better hit and taste right after the curing.

Sativa's can be more like this, you should always see great improvement as time goes by.

Hello Salva,
How went your harvest?
Greetings.

Ufff I like that you ask me this question. First of all, I would like to wish the entire forum a Merry Christmas. And answering your question, it has turned out just as bad as the last almost 7 years. I know it sounds incredible and embarrassing. Why did it go wrong this time? Well, I guess it's because of the high temperatures. Those 38 degrees for hours a day I would say destroyed the plants. In recent weeks I already said that it did not smell or have resin and when it dried it was confirmed. I don't know whether to upload some photos of the harvest before I throw it in the trash. Because of course you can't smoke that and it doesn't have any flavor or effect or anything at all. The good news? Well now I have some Mango Widow with 6 weeks of flowering that look much better. The other day I uploaded a photo of a plant in the current bud section. Now you can see more resin although I don't know if it should smell more. It doesn't smell like Haze, it's an unknown smell, I guess it's from White Widow, I don't know, but it's a light smell. Tonight I can upload a photo of the entire crop. Now the temperatures are good, about 17 minimum and about 24 maximum. Also this time I am watering them less, the famous 10% of the pot. That is 700-1000 ml. And of course it doesn't drain. This issue of irrigation is a topic that baffles me. But it's true that I've never seen them look so good. I hope this translator has done the job well 😄 greetings and thank you all.

It does pleases me to read that your current grow is going way better and that you also know where it went wrong last grow.
School of hard knocks still is a good teacher and you keep getting better, thats important.
Looking forward in seeing your Mango Widows, I did saw your pic and the bud looked very good already.:)

Before you trow the previous grow away I still would try to make a small amount of hash first to see if that still could have an use.

Merry Christmas!

Hashish with plants without Thc? I don't know if it would be worth it, and it's complicated, right? I once saw it done with water I think many years ago... I have never done it. Is there any simple way? Then I'll upload a photo of the current crop 😉

I just feel that before throwing it out you could try to make some and see if there is any effect when concentrating the resin.
Dry ice method is fairly easy but you need dry ice and a filtration bag.
Dry sift is also easy if you have the appropriate screen.
Other simple method is water hash were you could freeze a part of the material and mix it (wooden spoon?) for 5-10min in very cold water and then let it go through a kitchen sieve to catch the bulk of the green material.
You end up with water with thc christals in it and since that is heavier than water you can let it sit in the bucket for 12h without disturbing it in anyway.
In this time the thc will be on the bottom and you can siphon of the water (always at the top) until you have less than half of the initial volume and then you can pour the mixture in a smaller container and repeat the process (the smaller the container the faster the thc reaches the bottom).
This is a crude way to make water hash but it should give you some insight and you can make it with things you have around the house.
I'm sure you can find more info here or on the internet.

This round looks very nice indeed Salva! (y)

Those are looking 🔥 @Salva how are they smelling. Nice dog also

Well, the truth is that they barely smell... Surely not like Haze. I'm not an expert on smells either 😅 When you touch it, it is a little sticky. Yes, I even removed the odor filter because it is not necessary 😂 now they have 6 weeks of flowering. Will this be the good one? In a few weeks we will know. I estimate that they will be around 10 weeks.
 
Guys I have a doubt. I have 4 plants that have been drinking less since a few waterings and are the most advanced. Would you just give them water or wait? They have been flowering for 6 weeks but almost 8 to 12/12
