I hear of a lot of people switching to concentrates for their edibles now, instead of cooking the bud in the cooking oil.
Like you said, stronger/cleaner product.

I haven't done much looking into the process of making it but I'm willing to learn to save myself the headache I got last time. I dropped off a bag of trim to a friend, he calls me an hour later says his tube broke and it would be a while til he got a new one. Says he knows a guy that works @ a reputable head shop blah blah blah.. wed have product in a few days..ok cool! Damn near 60 days later I get my 5 grams... I think ill just make it myself.
Id appreciate it either way man.

I could easily see how using concentrate could be more potent. Just depends on a few factors like if you use and oz of some bubble hash, it will be more potent then an oz of super potent bud. One benefit from concentrates is they dont taste like you started munchin on your bud. If your making oil in the first place though you are making a form of hash too, you could make the oil more potent the longer you decarb it ( ie the length of time you have it on a good temp like 160 or higher. )

Cooked the flowers in the oil at 160-170 for 3 hours:
Drained out the solids:
Filtered in the oven at 170 until it was all clean:
Put it in the fridge.

What's that little temprature device you got there Mo?
I've been using a glass candy thermometer, but your thingy looks cooler.

I wanna say that it looks like a voltmeter with a fancy do-dad attached, but it's hard to tellWhat's that little temprature device you got there Mo?

Probably a laser heat gun thing to read temps if you just shoot the laser at it.

Hey there guys, sorry for coming out of the blue again just wanted to get another heads up on the transplanting part , got this baby in a half gallon pot and im wondering if i should transplant it to its 4 gallon pot ? Hopefully its not overdue and root bound ? ( dont know why it has some yellow leaves though ) Its about 12 inches at the moment. Peace : )

that plant looks just fine to me, just make sure to spray the exposed roots with water and sprinkle the rootball with a good layer of mychorizae before sticking in there.Hey there guys, sorry for coming out of the blue again just wanted to get another heads up on the transplanting part , got this baby in a half gallon pot and im wondering if i should transplant it to its 4 gallon pot ?

depending on how long you are vegging you may want to go to a 2 gallon first, either way will be fine though

Plant looks great, but early yellowing of leaves could be an indication that she wants to stretch her legs out a bit more. I'd up pot that in to the bigger container.

look how that leaf is split dwn the middle between green and yellow. It's a weird variegation, cool.

I had a sativa mixed bagseed plant that did that, I grew that one for about four years and it did that everytime.
it also did the same where the other half was almost white, grew perfectly the leaves were firm and normal, just half albino, kinda

the wierdest thing I ever encountered with cannabis is one time I had some seeds (again bagseed, predates seedbanks..) anyways I was sprouting outside, and a snail got to the seedling, ate half of the first true set of leaves (the first after the cot.) anyways half of the middle finger (of the leaf) was eaten, but then EVERY leaf after that grew the middle finger leaf with only half of the leaf, intact, the other half of it was all shriveled, looked EXACTLY like the snail damage, somehow the plant "remembered" the damage and grew ever middle finger like that. In fact it even cloned like that, it was some good herb too, I called it... yeah you guessed it... the snail.
Pretty weird though. This was back in 2005 or so
I've also seen plants grow an opposing middle finger before, so like it has the normal 5,7,9,11, fingered plants but then growing opposed to the other fingers is one that grows towards the stem.

I got this one for $15 delivered http://www.dx.com/p/1-2-lcd-digital-infrared-thermometer-orange-black-123695
Mine seems accurate enough for anything not involving or lab work or beer brewing. Highly impressed with it.

thats just awesome. a snail who ate a middle finger and changed a plant for life, and got a strain named after him or her. that was a bob marley type snail to eat that specific finger. if you were a snail, could you really live any more proper? hahaha

totally, I kinda felt a lil bad when I stopped growing that strain, IIRC I think it was a diesel relative, the bag I got was a diesel hybrid, so I assume the seeds were at least a quarter diesel. I thought it was really cool though... Now that I remember it, that snail (or his buddies) ate like 8 of my seedlings, I never had any issues with snails, but overnight they chomped everything down, from then on, I always make a nice little water-softener-rock-salt circle around em...
