    A perfect cure every time

    Well, after a while they will get sad, and start moving toward the door, hoping to leave town for brighter pastures. Unless it's a scrog. Then, they just off themselves.

    To hash, or oil, that is the question.

    I'm not that far off harvest, so I'd like to ask your opinion. Let's assume for the sake of argument I've got 8 plants producing about 3Kg of bud plus trim. Available equipment: 5 gallon buckets, lab beakers up to 2L, lab scales, plastic beakers of 3L, 1 bucket-sized filter, described as...

    oil vs smoke

    I've made high concentrarion skin cream from oil and tried it on my arthritic mum in law. No effect at all. Pretty much what I was expecting. The skin barrier will not permit a really large molecule such as THC or CBD to pass.

    Pandemic 2020

    I just heard from a friend I don't see often. It seems he is an anti-vax person. His father-in-law caught it and passed it to his mother in law who died last night of it... both unvaxxed. Now he and his young son have it. He messaged me; "The best protection against Covid is to catch it and...

    Delta-8-Thc Review

    Holy crappo... in about 5 minutes I found a place in India selling 2.5L of 98% pure allyl alcohol for like 40 bucks plus carriage. My word, it's like chemical fairyland out there.

    Delta-8-Thc Review

    I was wondering how long all this was going to take. Let's see.. it was back in 1974 me and some pals tried to synthesise THC. We had a whole lab of kit but in the end we couldn't get olivetol. Now though, I can buy it from China at $60/kilo, and I should think the citral too. Or maybe even the...

    Ethanol removal using short path

    Distillation of alcohol limit is around 90% or a bit more. Beyond that, you have to use a dehydrator EG calcium chloride. Regarding the post above why did you use cold alcohol and why would it be a problem if the alcohol gets warm while filtering -- considering that you then proceed to evap the...

    Some time to go, in the greenhouse.

    My strain Ceremonial #1, in its hybrid expression. The Skunk #1 Ceremonial #1, further along. An older plant. Hybrid expression. Ceremonial #1, in early flower.

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I'm coming across them on my plants now but not too many, I just pick them off. I wonder if spiders go for them? There are a few crab and wolf spiders on my plants, I think they keep the bugs down.

    Pandemic 2020

    That's very sad. COVID-19 just LOVES people like that. "I'll wait" she thought... and look at the size of both of them: morbidly obese. I'd be very surprised if both were not diabetic.

    Will You Take The Vaccine?

    I don't really doubt that I will catch this thing sooner or later. I'm double vaccinated but I will get a booster shot of any vaccine as soon as I can. I suspect it will end up as Flu#2, have to take a shot every year which I suspect will be the regular flu shot combined with the C-19 shot...

    Early flower buds are burnt looking

    This looks really 'off', why are the pistils dead, it looks to be in very early flower? I'm a proponent of the 'last thing I did' method. So: 1) Were the flower heads like that BEFORE you sprayed? Because if it was septoria, then septoria doesn't cause that. 2) If the answer is 'no', then I...

    Found this while looking into Castor Oil. CA Pesticide Chart

    Most oils and pretty much all EOs are fungicidal. However I should imagine that spraying them with geraniol or peppermint oil is for sure going to affect the terp profile!

    Planning a rendezvous with Mescalito

    I don't really believe an awful lot of what he wrote, now. I've been with the Tarahumaras and they have a kind of creationist religion that seems part original paganism and astrolgy, part Catholicism. I did go to a shamanic wedding which was cool. I did not go into the smoke tent. There were...

    Your latest seed purchase?

    Planning a rendezvous with Mescalito

    Haha! Journey to Ixtlan! I have that book still. On my honeymoon we were on a road trip through Mexico and I saw that we were to pass near a place called Ixtlan de los Hervores. (There are two villages called Ixtlan) so ... decided to see it it might be the same as described. Castañeda...

    Afganistan Collapse

    I cannot tolerate actual Japanese cuisine. I was working as an outside contractor on one of their projects in Yemen. A power station. They invited me for dinner but I was unable to eat anything really. It was all unspeakably awful. I recall the dinner began with fermented seaweed. OMG. Then some...
