    Hot oil bath and decarbing

    No. Between then and now I decided to quit using cannabis completely for a while. The withdrawal was pretty fierce: much worse than the SSRI Withdrawal Syndrome I'm dealing with now. It just seemed time to clear as many chemicals as possible out of my body, esp. since I have a medicine journey...

    Hot oil bath and decarbing

    I didn't realize that Costco butter wasn't "pure." No big deal--I've not experienced the degree of loss you did--but good to know.

    Using poly sheeting to prevent whitefly

    Has anyone here ever used non-UV transmissive poly sheeting (the ordinary stuff from a hardware store) as a whitefly and thrip preventative for outdoor grows? I was alerted to the possibility by an article on the does and don'ts of greenhouse construction that noted, as an aside, that such...
