Thanks for sharing the canna carrot cake recipe! Bits of pineapples and rum soaked raisins would go reeeeal well with the coconut oil based canna oil. I must try that and post the report!
mmmmm i love rum raisin ice cream.....
another thing worth mentioning - "virgin" coconut oil has a mild coconut aroma (and tends to cost a bit more), 'refined' is generally odorless -- you can use both in this recipe, but neither one has a very strong coconut flavour to it.

Wow Mello! Those are some beautiful scenery pics! Sounds like you had a fun weekend.
indeed, quick girls' weekend trip up to nelson area to help my girlfriend winterize a place she recently inherited -- nelson is one of bc's hippy meccas. land of hippies and doukhobors. it's the sort of place you can get by on the barter system. lots of hairfaces and llamawool sweaters. all the local restaurants have a compost/community farming program with the local farmers. highest number of kitschy, handmade crafts type boutiques i have EVER seen in a town that size.

it's also break-your-ears-off cold already. twas like an excursion into winter.
when i said i was going mr kitty asked me if he knew where we were staying (there isn't a habitable shelter on my friend's land), and when i said i didn't know, he was like "you're not taking the kid, then."

and so i snafooed a weekend away sans enfant, without even trying that hard. :lol:
added bonus: you have to drive through wine country to get there. and christina lake, where the famous growop guarding bears were. and grand forks, where the mayor (if he's still mayor, i think he is) grows pot.

Kitty,

Pics are fantastic. Wife is HUGE wine fan, and appreciated a girls trip via the wine cellar. I forgot how truly beautiful is it up there. You're lucky to live in such a wonderland.

We need to find a way to get you a cut of our new D-Bub. It grows absolutely perfect for a BAVERB settup when left un-topped. It's a bushy plant. yet the leaves are sparce enough to allow light to get on the bud sites. The shape is that of a post card Christmas tree with golf ball sized buds stacked on every branch. Like our other Bubba, she's not a light hog. I look at your settup and then look at a D-Bub at 4 weeks and can't help but spring some wood. It's a match made in heaven. When I get a new camera (ours gave up) I'll take some pics. You ever do any tissue culture?

Where's our kitty gone? I let her out a few nights ago and she hasn't been back in a while.... I hope she doesn't come back pregnant...


:D

How cool. I would love a trip like that. It sounds like a place my son and daughter-in-law (still can't get used to that) would love.
And I thought it was getting cold here! I guess my lows in the 40's overnight don't really count as all that cold. lol
So, no infant, trip through wine country, win-win. And a mayor that grows to boot!

I just thought I would show you a quick pic of the last canna. It just keeps flowering. You can see in the pic below the blossom, there is still another spike about to pop flowers. I have been collecting the seeds from the pods, but only have 4 so far. I will let you know (next year of course hehe) how they do.
The tree my man and I just topped cuz I thought it would look cool. And it was blocking some light. And every fall it drops these little red fruits that mash up in the Princess's paws. :mrgreen:

Kitty,

nope, never tried it, although i'm sure it'd be worth the learning experience. d-bub sounds dreamy.
pretty sure we're adding a new strain or 2 to the lineup but that's all i'm gonna say so as not to jinx mehself..... ;)

to get back to the hash/tincture thing, what i've gathered from reviewing is:
- hash (especially ice extractions) makes "cleaner" tinctures because it has less impurities than shake/buds (dirt, mold, dust, etc. etc.)
- temp seems similar to my method above (rize goes 24h @ 93degs)
- 1 oz shake = 1/4 oz buds = 4g hash

...... which is good to know because i'm just about to make a bunch of bubble and xmas is coming (ye-yeah- scored some fresh blueberry shaaaake *kittyjig*)

your canna looks amazing! (incidentally, i haven't had any blooms in the twilight garden for weeks now.)
although.... i'm not sure what MY canna's doing.... i thought i killed it (lazy stoner underwatering) this summer, but it put out a wee shoot in mid september, and now it has 2 fully formed leaves. i don't get it. i brought it inside last week because the temperature dipped and it was looking rather unhappy, and aside from having a distinct lean towards the closest window, seems to be happy enough... the younger of the 2 leaves is kinda mutey-looking, but it's green at any rate....

it always trips me out when i see pics of your cali gardens and see those fan-looking things outside :lol: looks like an awesome climbing tree now.

Fan looking things? You talking about the palm trees? lol Yeah, kind of a cool view from up in that tree.

yeah, those. :lol:
around here, if you see them outside, it's in a container so it can come back inside for the winter....

Hey kitty,
I noticed you keep your plants right on the floor. do you ever consider taking them off the ground or are you not worried too much about the soil temp and that stuff?
 

mellokitty

Moderatrix of Journals
yeah, meh. the floor doesn't get that cold in there. plus, building a raised bed that'll support 7 gals x 35 of wet dirt would be both PIA and $$$.

Kitty, do you have some good ice water extract hash recipes for butter, edibles, etc. From my understanding, hash butter is totally simple, just heat at a low temp and dissolve the hash into it? I am just getting into making better edibles and tinctures, etc, since I seem to have my hash making down to a pretty good system?

Anyone out there with some sure fire recipes they would like to share? I have made butter, tincture, salves with leaf before, but not the hash yet. And I would like to avoid wasting any hash that does not need to be wasted.....haha. Thanks in advance for the help! And thanks for checking out the grow room, kitty! Those Plushberry girls are stinky ladies!

Also, I see you had a ladies getaway. Did you guys make oooot? Any good pillow fights? LOL. Hope all is well!
