Hello I am trying to make a weed tincture from a QUISO wash. I did my QUISO and had a resin at the bottom of a jar after I evaporated the ISO. Then I poured vodka on it to make my tincure. The resin seemed to be dissolving by eye but it left this odd brown blob at the bottom. I heated up the...

So one thing I enjoy about making weedbutter or QUISO is being able to seperate out all the gross weedness from the THC (like by having water in your butter mix that you seperate off). Can you do the equivalent with MCT. I've eaten MCT but I'm not sure if I can freeze it solid and google was not...

Does the MCT oil version hit you faster than butter does? I'm intruiged! Cooking in oil is so easy but I like the ramp up speed that i think tincure will give me :)

I used vodka. I figured it would still dissolve. Ethanol is ethanol, no? Plus I extracted it already from the flower. Maybe that was stupid :|?

Hello, I did an iso wash (aka IPA aka QUISO) which i distilled down to get some rosin, then I decarbed it because I wanted to make a tincture. Now my rosin is a little coating on the bottom of the bottle I wanted to use for my tincture. (I only used ~3g of flower because this is a little...

Hmmm but still most of the stuff that changes the strains will disappear. In the end I think that means if I'm going to just keep making edibles I shouldn't worry about the strains and effects but instead just focus on growing more THC or mass. So If I am going to turn this rosin into...

How come neither of you use Iso for your washes? It seems cheaper (in Canada ISO is like 1/4 the price of liquor) and the washes would be easier? If you were to use ISO instead of everclear would you just need 1 wash?

lol you didn't tell me to go crazy, that was my bad. And I SUPER appreciate the help! I was just thinking if 240W was too little for the tent it wouldn't hurt to go to 100%, but that was dumb :P Today the plants seem happier, I can't really measure it, but I think they are more perky. So I'll...

So I waited a day and hoped it would get better. It didn't :( I attached 2 pics one the same as in the original image at the start of the thread and everything is droopier. The other is an image of the leaves more close up. If anything they feel too dry to me, but the soil isn't dry enough to...

Oh I like that, I don't really need any special equipment or anything! And I am right in thinking that without the terpenes I lose the the special-ness that each strain has. Like green crack and northern lights would give the same high, since I'm just consuming THC at that point?

Ah I see, does the second wash with your 190 proof also come out with lots of active THC? How does its concentration compare to the 1st wash? Did you ever try a 3rd wash? This would be easier :P

So then, would all strains become the same? My understanding of the differences between strains is that they live in the terps no the THC itself. Like if I got some super couch lock indica vs some upper strain, if I understand correctly, when I turn them into butter they become the same? and...

When you make weed butter, isopropyl, shatter etc. Do the terpenes come with the solution or do you lose them? I exclusively drink/eat my weed and I'm looking at seeds now. Everyone talks about the different kinds of highs and the terpenes of different strains but I'm not sure if that even...

You do 2 runs with IPA? I thought the whole premise of using it was that it extracts everything on the first run. :O I could see using 1L / half oz would start turning into a huge volume of IPA :O Whoa epic. This is a whole new level beyond where I am but I can very much sense the ability to...

OK right on! Another question about making it efficiently. I have 4 oz I want to convert into tincture this way. All the guides I see, use a few grams at a time in the ISO. Is there a reason for that? Like can I just load up all 4 oz (or 2 sets of 2 oz to if that gets a little big), swish it...

so I read something about making weed tincture in everclear as being 80% effective at extraction. That feels really wasteful and I don't want to have to go through some other process with the left overs. Can I just extract with Isopropyl first to get ~100% extraction then dissovle the residue...

So i think I didn't play it safe enough. I raised it to 80% as soon as I read the comment and now they are all droopy :( I turned it down a bit and I think I can navigate my way to 100% power :) thanks everyone!

Hmmm so right now I have my 240W QB 1ft from the canopy at 60% intensity. I know people raise the intensity at flower time. Should I just go to 100% intensity now? As long as it doesn't seem like I'm burning them. Also I read something that said 240w was lots for a 2x4 when I bought this so...

Thanks everyone! I know other people have different grows but I'm aiming to be a be really awesome grower :) If the plants are healthy but I'm aiming for them to be bigger at similar ages on my next build is there some thing I should look at? Like 100% intensity light from earlier?

So I have these 2 plants (1 silver lemon haze on the left, 1 northern lights on the right). They are at 7 weeks old and they are only 11" tall. I've been LST training them out a bit but in comparison to some grow diaries I've seen, I feel like I'm behind. I think the setup is good to them. I...
