@GrowingGrannie, I noticed. I really did think 1 gal pots would result in a plant about 40cm tall. Once they hit 40cm tall I had to start bending branches, my tent is just completely packed. At least I only crammed 6 in instead of my original idea of 9 plants.

@DeepWaterGrower, I started using Terpinator with my first grow - and used it for all of my grows without really knowing if it actually did anything or not... then I ran out of the stuff on one grow and since it was expensive and my pennies were few, decided not to replenish my supply... couldn't believe the difference! The buds just weren't even close to being as sticky - I was used to having to clean my trim scissors after two or three snips and I barely had to clean them at all without the Terpinator. That convinced me... no ifs, ands or buts... always going to use it! The Purpinator is apparently good to use with purple strains.. helps bring out the color along while really pumping up the trichs... Recommend both highly!!

@grzegorzdelaurans, ah! You're right!! Somewhere I'd heard that about the temps and had completely forgotten so thank you for reminding me! Hadn't heard that about the lights, though... I'll have to do some research.. Thanks so much!!

@GrowingGrannie, Butter is pretty much the same from what i know, strain while warm, let it cool a bit and then stick in fridge to set. I love edibles, they are the best companion to a good evening. Use a grinder! I use everything to make mine, stem and all, so a grinder is difficult. If you are using just sugar leaf you might be able to use a bit less than my recommendation. Most people just try adding weed to food, it won't do too much for you lol, my first experience was brownies with weed in it, it was nasty! Another cool idea is if you have dry sift hash etc then it will be easier and again you need less. Just remember to start off gentle, there is no of switch and it hits different. Lots of love, your grandson!

@Jobbie, wow! Thank you so much for such a detailed "how-to" ... that really helps! I'm going to try it with butter since I don't ever use a lot of oil for anything... but tell me, after the trim is dried, would you put it in a grinder or is that TOO small? I'm thinking it might be since you said it will look like curly kale... omg... I remember back in the 60's when I was in college and first "exposed" to weed, I was at a party where everyone was smoking (I was just observing and thought everyone was just a little bit WEIRD)... it was an all-nighter and in the morning, the guys throwing the party made french toast for everyone... and apparently sprinkled some weed into the egg batter because they were bound and determined to get me high.... I don't think it did a damned thing for me... I'm pretty sure they didn't know what the hell they were doing! LOL!

@GrowingGrannie, I usually dry my trim to get the same flavours out you don't want to smoke in bud. Then I use 1oz for every litre (4 and 1/4 cups) of liquid. The method is this: take a Mason jar that can fit everything in, break up plant matter into smaller pieces, put in jar. Heat oven to about 90c (190f) and cook the plant for an hour, I usually put the jar on a tray with a wet cloth between jar and tray, stops it sliding around as much and prevents metal from touching glass. Take it out every 15 mins to give it a shake so no parts burn., but will become a bit like curley kale when cooked in the oven. Then I warm a big pot of water to just below simmering, you want this around the same 90c, put an old towel in the bottom to make sure the jar doesn't sit on the metal, pour your oil of choic into the Mason jar, put the jar in the water, heat for 6 hours, every hour stir to help the mixing along. After the 6 hours use something to strain off the plant material and bim bam bosh you have oil. Disclaimer, I've never done butter because I'm lactose intolerant, but any butter in a recipe can just be oil... not quite as rich, but still oil. Bonus! I've been hearing a lot in articles that coconut oil can absorb more THC than other oils and ends up with close to tincture potency, this needs research though.

@ironf1st, thanks so much... gotta tell you, I hadn't REALLY appreciated just how black she got - and that's the only color name I can give her! It wasn't just a dark purple - it was freakin' BLACK!!!

These smell great once they are cured a bit. Probably better than the Sweetseeds Red Pure CBD

@GrowingGrannie, This one and the Red Pure totally stunk a room out while drying, when I open the Jars now during curing we can smell them all around the house!

Hey. Very nice. You can punch a hole into the end of the bucket. Using a washer to cover hole, (put tubing in it and bend it up to the top and attach to the top of your bucket. (Hydro stores sell them all over.....washers and drainage pipes) And then use a piece of piping. And make a drainage pipe. It'll also allow you to monitor its water level without having to remove lid and check PH/PPM and all that without disturbing the top.

GrowingGranniecommented2 years ago

@backatitagain1990, yeah... I understand all that however my biggest problem with what you're suggesting is that I don't have the bucket in something that will take 3.5 gallons of water! The bucket itself has a bottom hole but that's connected to the tubing that allows the monitoring of the water level... I've drilled a hole in the top to allow me to use an extractor pump to take out a little bit (or ALL) water to measure the pH/ppm... But thanks! Someday - LOL! - I would like a proper grow ROOM that I can put drainage in... but right now, I'm only in a closet (1 plant) and a 2x4' tent (2 plants) - and the tent is in my bedroom... :-D

I see you have the smoke report up now, I'm still blending this 50:50 with other THC weed and its working a treat without getting me smashed. Thats not to say that I don't get stoned with the blend when i vape it 2 or 3 times in an evening but the first hit is more of a 'warm hug' than anything else and I've just been noticing that I've hardly had any pain killers lately which is a really good thing. Happy Smokes :)

@eurorack, yeah - I really like this, a LOT... the arthritis in my hands and my knees isn't noticeable when I smoke it and, VERY oddly, it seems I don't need my inhaler either (I have COPD)... rather amazing and I'm SUPER happy...
