Heh, heh, heh... well, what do you know!?
I actually hung onto some old grow pics!
As in...
My first grow ever (October of 2007):

(used progressively more 26w CFL bulbs (around 12 bulbs) and then adding a dual-tube 80w 48" T12 fixture into each corner for vertical side lighting at some point, used miraclegrow potting soil, and miraclegrow nutes, in a 1-gal plastic ice cream bucket)

I guess I do have some old pics!

yes it was in the greenhouse, GHB.

so tips from you butane boys please:)
whats best to use on the end of the glass tube, cable tie or clamp?
how long do you leave it under pressure for?
(is it me, or does eveyone who posts about it come across like they have chemistry degrees....it's been too long since I studied chemistry:))
any other tips appreciated.

I still need to get a skillet, and or clips/cable ties. So far I see the process as
  • Dehydrate product (low temp in an oven for example)
  • Stuff ground up dried product in glass tube
  • warm water bath with pyrex dish on griddle thing (outside:))
  • gas through tiny hole and out into pyrex dish
  • leave until reaction stops (also heard about popping the bubbles or something)(also option of putting alcohol in dish for longer puirge)
  • trf goo to pan on silicon sheet.
  • vacuum, up to 29inhg+ (how long for though?)
  • then let air out? remove lid and hey presto?? or is there a million more steps??.

Peace, Noob.:)

Clamp is fine but it will get messy. And dont break the tube tightening it too much.

Blast until it starts running out more clear. Not long. 15 seconds?

Wear serious gloves... the tube will get super freezing and burn you.

I didn't grind mine up much the first time and lost a lot of yeild, so don't underdo the grind/ break up.

That sounds like the steps to me. It seems super duper complicated the first time.

  • Dehydrate product (low temp in an oven for example)- Never done so myself. Just made it dry enough by placing it intop of the computer or the 600 hood for a day or two.
  • Stuff ground up dried product in glass tube- Yes and stuff it real good. Should take about 25-30sec before you see gold flowing out. Faster when tube is frozen.
  • warm water bath with pyrex dish on griddle thing (outside:))- If you spray into hot pyrex beware of the liquid gas turning into non-liquid(lol) gas in a split second. I use hot water after-slow release.
  • gas through tiny hole and out into pyrex dish - If i remember correct you said 28g tube- That be 35-45some ground up good and stuffed(Pure buds). Use two butane bottles and get it all at once.
  • leave until reaction stops- Would not use alcohol-taste. Safe to pop the small bubbles i always take it in and work it at this stage.
  • trf goo to pan on silicon sheet.
  • vacuum, up to 29inhg+ (how long for though?) I guess 15min. But its getting to pro now ;) plz share a vid if you can.
  • then let air out? remove lid and hey presto?? or is there a million more steps??. - after the vacuum it should look like honeycomb. Let just throw in-But its all strain dependant, lol.

Peace, Noob.:)

vacuum till it stops bubbling I beleive. It shouldn't bubble on it's own... that's just butane escaping. You're going to love the flavor of the stuff. I remember my first run I thought I was in love.

Yeah i would if i had pro equip like vacuum just work it with a toothpick or whatever over heat until there is no signs of bubbles then use vacuum. Remember heat under vacuum is hotter than normal o_O

I did 36 in my 4x4, but I found 25 worked better for me,I liked a little more room for em, adding 5 every two weeks. That gives me 10wks from flip,

That should be about right if you use a short veg time.
At 6 plants every week will leave you a 2 weeks period without a harvest if you figure 8 weeks of bloom time.
40 plants and harvest 5 every week will give you a perpetual with an 8 weeks bloom.

:peace:

Wow, your son huh? That makes it tough. its better to be safe, and it's not like my plant pics are going up on the wall in the house next to wedding/baby/family photos. I would log it all in a legal state though. There is a feeling of pride when you're about to chop!

He's cool about it , but if anything happened l wouldn't want to put him through
the embarrassment of having mum and pop busted.
I am going to get a digital camera so l will be able to keep grow shots on memory cards.
