Gorgeous buds man, and it sounds like you'll have some tasty treats to eat too! I love the crockpot for making butter, it turns out perfect. Let us know how the olive oil is, I might try that next grow. I want to try making ice cream, simmer the trim in some heavy cream, then make icecream with it. mmm mm goood!

Thanks! Canna Ice Cream sounds pretty bomb. I am trying multiple water washes on my butter this time so I am still in the prep mode. Just trying to get rid of as much chlorophyll taste as possible. Its looking better after every wash and separate cycle.

Pic bump!UPDATE. Curing pics. I need to work on some better shots. I will also work on some shots of the current stuff going.
Enjoy:
Really tasty looking nugs there SG
Well done mate.
When you make your canna butter (ghee), you boil the trim and butter in water don't you?
Then strain the lot into another container to settle in the fridge.
Do you then repeat this process over and over to get rid of the taste?

Thanks for the bump mate!
I do it just like you say. The first couple of washes after the first extraction I strain the bud butter/water mix through muslin to get the fine matter out. Then I just keep heating the butter in water for a couple hours then cooling/separating the butter/water in the fridge and keep throwing out the dirty water. Eventually the idea is that the water wont get dirty and that is the last wash. The theory is that this process will remove the undesirable taste of the chlorophyll and make other dishes besides brownies or cookies much more palatable.

I make butter all the time but never though of repeating the process over and over to see if it removes that rank taste.
I usually just add more chocolate to the recipes to mask it.
That's a good idea so I'll try it next run.
If it improves the flavour, I'm all for it.

Well. This last wash tonight was super clean water. my disk of butter is almost fluorescent green color. It does not smell too much. I will let you know on taste. I plan to just try about 1/2 tsp of butter in the morning to check potency.Yeah cool.

I tried one tsp yesterday morning. Mildly Stoned all day. I have a feeling 2 tsp is a pretty good dosage. I like eating the right amount in the morning as I get to stay stoned all day long. Too much though and its over. I have yet to try the olive oil I am infusing. Hopefully that comes out great for some bomber home grown pesto. I make my own basil and other junk tooWhoo... fluro green butter is my choice of biscuit.

inspirational grow... i'm definitely going full SCROG my next grow. the AG grow in my signature is as close as i get to SCROG, just LST all over the place to resemble a screened canopy.
so with your experience, soil or hempy is best for SCROG? other than the AG i've done drip hydro in a Gen Hydro waterfarm unit (both grows are ongoing presently)... seems like it would be a pain once flower started to get the res out from under the plants and flush/drain/clean/refill blah blah... so then soil or hempy for SCRoG???

hempy is awesome!! you fill a bucket with perlite or vermiculite, drill about 1/4 - 1/2 inch hole about 2 inches from the bottom. water daily til it pours out the hole, and fertilize every other, other watering... and the two inches at the bottom become the res.. its hydro with the complications of soil.. reminds you your human...
NOW!! someguy the man with the experience can correct and fill in my god awful blanks.

I am doing hand watered hydro in hempy buckets. I think I am sold on the ease of the hempy bucket. Soil is just slower IME. Hempy is not as quick as other hydro methods but is easy on maintenance and no parts to go wrong. As long as you feed/water every 3rd day your set.
Hempy recommends 3-1 ratio of perlite and vermiculite mixed. I just use 100% perlite. You cannot use just vermiculite but the 100% perlite works just great. I would go with 1/2" drain holes or a series of smaller holes at about 1.5 to 2" above the bottom of the bucket and NO higher. Water first time till it runs through. Then when you have beginning plans just water with 1-2oz of water strain down the base of the plant every day til the tap root hits the res. Once it does you will notice explosive growth. to maintain vigorous growth up-size your containers progressively until you reach your max size container. I do not recommend growing new plants in the large containers as it takes much longer. Feed/water every other or every 3rd day. (I do every 3rd a majority of the time) Do not go longer. Also, if they are dry and super light... water them. I go with roughly the following. Feed, Feed, Water, Feed, Water, Feed, Feed, etc...
I strongly recommend this thread if you are interested in the hempy method: https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/59705-hempy-collective.html
Thanks for the props guys. Let me know if you have more questions.

with only 2" or less the water evaporation rate is too high for them to drown. The roots do adapt to environment as well. Props to hempy for creating this method. I imagine it took some experimenting to get it down. Sometimes the problem I have now is that plants get too big quick..

As always looks as if you are still kicking ass . We tried to emulate your grow . We have good coverage but no "stadium" SCROG . We are letting the edges grow tall though rather than tucking them under . And trying to keep the center tucked under and short . As to create a "virtual stadium" . Thanks for all the tips and keeping this journal , I refer to it a lot . It is our first grow but I can tell we are going to have some awsome nuggs and your journal helped us out . ty

Hearing that makes all the trouble of keeping this thing up-to-date worth it. If I help one person do it then thats one more step in the right direction. I will snap some shots tonight of what I have going so I can continue to share my experiences.
