thanks so much @BraveheartGenetics yeah we get 151 proof and Wray and nephew which is about 63% ABV but don't know if the sugar content will be harmful to smoke. I should be able to source some grain alcohol from some place lol. could use it for cooking oil if I decarboxylate the crop

Hi mate, I don't think the alcohol strength is strong enough to extract it all. Any grain alcohol would work as well as isopropyl but I'm not sure if isopropyl is completely safe, it may leave residue.
Using rum could contaminate your fresh made hash.
Good luck

Piccola piantina contortaGrazie a tutti per il problema precedente!!! Vorrei farvi vedere questa piantina che al 26 esimo giorno si presenta ancora piccola e contorta... secondo il mio punto di vista (da amatore ) direi che è un problema di radice e ph. Fatemi sapere cosa pensate.Week 4

Harvest help again... pleaseSecond grow, I’m second guessing myself!
I took a few branches last week for my husband who likes a heady high; I prefer more of a couchlock high but we both prefer high thc bud. Planned on harvesting Saturday morning, should I harvest as planned? Now? Wait longer?
Thanks!🌱Buds. Other

will it turn into 1 big bud, or stay a few smaller budswill the bud "close up" when they start to swell? or is there too much space between the buds because of too much internodal space? it doesnt look like 1 big bud, but like a bunch smaller buds. will this turn into 1 big bud when the calyxes swell? same for the lower buds.Week 11
