    Pot size for outdoor?

    I found one more of those planters at another HD yesterday. It had a sticker showing it's capacity as 17 gallons. I'll be happy if they reach six feet. After pruning, (just inner growth thinning) I harvest plenty for my years use including cooking and concentrate as well as vaping. I don't...

    Pot size for outdoor?

    Anybody else deal with the wind storm in SoCal yesterday? It lifted the table cover my sprouts were sitting on completely OFF the table!! spilling the infants onto the stone! I had to re-plant, bringing everything in the house after to get out of the relentless blow. They are all droopy...

    watering when out of town

    EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE LEAKED ALL OVER THE PLACE. AROUND THE SCREW CAP, AND THE "METER". THEY WERE EMPTY BY THE TIME THEY MADE IT TO THE BACK YARD. BLUMAT OR SIMILAR SPIKES SEEM TO BE THE ANSWER FOR ME. I MAY TRY THE TWISTED COTTON "ROPE" METHOD FOR THE SMALLEST ONES. THE WEIGHT OF THE...

    Pot size for outdoor?

    Home Depot they were only $22! Every one I've seen at a comparable size is at least twice that. The dolleys were separate, also at HD.

    Pot size for outdoor?

    I grow in the back yard, near the coast in Southern CA. Coastal/Desert weather here is dry and temperate to warm. I have decided on pots that are tall because of seeing the shape of the roots from plants pulled after harvest from the ground. The natural shape is a tall V with the roots going...

    Making oil out of rosin pucks

    I've just about let all the other home concentrate recipes go to the back of my book in favor of MCT OIL. There is no way to get enough of the good stuff into a stick of butter even if you start with 30% THC material to use it alone in any meaningful cannabis recipe that uses only a tablespoon...

    Personal-use growers: What is your annual yield? and...

    I'm a home grower of Ca.'s legal number of plants and I use it all up after the year. I cook a lot with it and home grown takes a lot to get a medical level dose being that it is probably no better than 10% THC. I"m averaging about 10 oz's per plant and I give away some as well. I just...

    Triple Your Dragon to make fierce RSO

    What I'm trying to find out is this: My home grow last harvest averaged 12% THC, and I have found the resulting "R.S.oil" too weak, requiring too much to have to be ingested to be comfortable. (tastes like mixing water into your ash tray) YUK, and I have needed a "mouthful" to get a therapeutic...

    Tincture mess-up. Help me.

    I sure wish a moderator would intercede when basic information is miss stated. THCA (the raw form) begins to convert to THC (the form we can absorb) at 90C (194F) and begins to get damaged above 250F, (burned off) and destroyed by 300 F. So I keep my decarb to 240' F but for a long time...

    How to increase THC content

    I was studying the effects of Hydrogen Peroxide on THC when I stumbled across this from "Hemp Husbandry" by Robert A. Nelson see; www.hempbasics.com/hhusb/hh6thc.htm 6.3 Isomerization ~ "The potency of marijuana can be increased by about 50% simply by simmering a water slurry of the material...

    Decarboxilation Method - Would it work?

    I've seen a dozen methods for decarbing, no one has been a chemist however. So I've asked around to some chemists and got this answer from Magic Butter. Enclosing bud in the "turkey bag" helps to isolate odors as well. Don't open it until it comes out of the freezer "DECARBOXYLATION Preheat...

    Need FINAL moisture content

    OK, I got an answer outside this group from Magic Butter's guru. Here's what they said; "DECARBOXYLATION: Preheat your oven to 250°F with an oven thermometer inside. If the thermometer reads above or below 250°F, adjust your oven setting accordingly until the temperature is a steady 250°. Place...

    Anybody know why they look like this?

    I don't know why so many who already own expensive testing devices don't get a cheap soil moisture gauge. I grow outdoor and the water needs fluctuate wildly according to weather and the state of growth the plant is in. If I watered each time my finger came out dry to my second knuckle I'd...

    KICK ASS BROWNIE RECIPE

    actually the zest, vanilla and almond counteract the grass taste for a pretty good tasting brownie. (credit to The Bald Eagle) You can substitute with top shelf weed but then the extra's are unnecessary. This recipe is really for home growers with basic level 420 say at 10% THC or so

    Need FINAL moisture content

    Some say to decarb with bare weed while others like the Magic Butter Machine recipe asks for an oven bag or covered container. Temps range from 210 to 275 and timing is ALL over the place. Obviously these would produce different results. AND its painfully obvious here that everyone has their...

    Need FINAL moisture content

    That's right, "pretty fn dry". So how dry is "pretty fn dry"? Since the moisture content going in could be widely different (about 70% is what I aim to jar my fresh cut at after drying, before curing, down to 62% for previously dried weed) So if the same two types received the same temp and...

    Need FINAL moisture content

    I can't find the answer to this simple question: what moisture content should finished, decarboxylated marijuana be? Since it's variance is great going in, in fact then it follows that using the same temp and timing all the time would seem to be a hit and miss proposition. Knowing what the...

    Kick Ass Brownie Recipe

    Thank you "too larry", I too have a Larry. I have the Magic Butter machine I use. I prefer clarified butter. I read somewhere that it's fats are more available to the THC for binding, though more mention coconut oil in the threads. I can't find the answer to this simple question: what moisture...
