wheres the update mell?

Hey kitty kat, I was wondering if you've ever tried the fast method you posted here? I know that normally it takes at least 60 days normally so I had a felling that doing it fast in the Crockpot wouldn't be as good. It seems like whenever you try to do something fast with weed, it never turn out good. Not that 4 days is short, but you know what I mean...
So have you tried it and is it as good as doing it the long way (letting it sit in a jar in the sun for 60 days)?

i have, because it's supposed to be fuller spectrum and superior to hps-only and all that; to be honest i don't think i'd know the difference without a side-by-side. so in a most unsatisfactory fashion my answer is yes but i wasn't looking for a comparison and so didn't notice if it was better than hps-only or not.

the method i used was close to this one except i used the oven on 'warm' instead of a crockpot. i'm not a big fan of direct (ie. surface touching the element) heat for canna-cookery, BIG FAN of the oven for this reason. example: when you make butter in the oven as opposed to stovetop, you don't have to add (and then extract) water. AND, the finished product is much less plant-mattery because you don't have to stir/agitate it as much to keep it from burning.
i can't say which is better because i haven't tried the 60days method. personally, i think if you can keep your temps down low enough, as long as the glycerin gets runny enough to activate, you're laughing. it's just a much slower process at room temp, hence the waiting time. my jar never got too hot to touch; much like something that's been left out in the hot sun, it was hot enough to be surprising if you didn't expect it, but still grabbable with bare hands to turn over every so often. i only did 24 hrs and i think my tinc could take out a horse. i say this because i gave my man (who has a noticeably higher tolerance than most of my other guinea pigs) 1ml on his toast and he was outski for the next 11hrs. haven't chanced it on anybody else yet; don't want to send folks to the dark side of the moon.
the girls at margarita night really really liked the second run "vodka wash" (which has to be, if you think about it, much less potent than the first run).....
i make most of my cannabutter using the sun method (a full day of full sun usually does the trick, sometimes 2 days if it's cooler out); if it ever gets sunny/warm enough here this summer, i'd like to try it on glyc.... (it's a balmy 57f out right now!

Batteries!? Like those little metal slugs with those "AA" symbols on them? Didn't they put those in walkman radios back in the stone age? It's called Lithium Ion, get with the times, man.
Lol, I'm about to trade an oz of pot and 75 bucks for a sweet DSLR. I hope. I really want to take high-class bud porn photos so I can get an swanky journal going.

it hurts my inner eco-terrorist, but i won't do rechargeables anymore, waaaay too many close calls. (that and i don't enjoy playing with or cleaning up battery acid. yeesh. stay the FUCK away from eneloop.)
and watch where you're steppin', son, (lol!) the walkman was current technology when i was growin up. i remember when discman was bleeding edge, ffs. it was rough growing, during the stone age. had to keep the fire going in shifts and timing the 12 hrs by the stars..... bwaaaa hahaha
that and the last "accident" corroded the contacts on my charger so i had to chuck IT out, too.

orly? so im a sales man now am I? or maybe you just can't read? heres the post for you again since you forgot
and i'll make the part that matters all fancy so you might take the time to actualy read it this time instead of being an ignorant prick. just because im Canadian doesn't mean i cant be an asshole as well.there, maybe you can read that?^ thats exactly what im getting at. your the FIRST person to actualy be able to tell me what Grotek uses..... and i like thatit means the company does actualy try.
my thing is, i've worked in certain fertalizer company on the canadian west coast..... i know what some of the companies do to make you think their product is better, when realy you could make them in your back yard...... and having graduated from the malaspina University horticultural Program (naniamo,BC, canada) i know what the differance is between a surviving plant and a striving plant.......it comes down to 16 essential minerals...... theres the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that every oxygen based life form uses.... then there are the rest......
nutrients needed (PPM Limits.)
[SIZE=-1]Primary Nutrients[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Nitrogen (N) ppm=150-100
Phosphorus (P) ppm=50-100
Potassium (K) ppm-100-400[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Secondary Nutrients[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Sulfur (S) ppm=200-1000
Calcium (Ca) ppm=100-150
Magnesium (Mg) ppm=50-100[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Micronutrients [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Zinc (Zn) ppm=.5-1
Iron (Fe) ppm= 2-10
Copper (Cu) ppm=.1-.6
Manganese (Mn) ppm=.5-5
Boron (B) ppm=.5-5
Molybdenum (Mo) ppm=.01-.05
Chlorine (Cl) ppm=.01-.05[/SIZE]
most people dont know what life actualy needs to strive, or what there actualy putting into your plants.......
as long as you can ensure that your feeding your plants those nutrients, in the proper PPM at the right time in their life, your good to go.
Edited to add PPM.
Edit: sorry mello, some of these people just dont let up....

Hahaha its awsome. I was thinking about maybe getting a 250w HPS but I am restricted with the space so I'm worried about it being a fire hazard.
