Hi @shindig153 anyway I can get the recipe for the beard balm I’ve tried a bunch of homemade recipes off the internet and not happy with any of them?
Thanks

[shindig153]

My basic recipe is four ounces oil to one ounce bees wax. I use essential oils to add a better smell. I like peppermint, lavender and patchouli. I like mine a little thinner at 5 to 1 ratio. Been using it as a skin moisturizer. For my wife and mom I add an aspirin to the oil. Works well for sore spots and arthritic hands.

Thanks @shindig153
Do you wip it when mixing/melting the bees wax?
it looks a lot better than what I’ve been making

[shindig153]

I heat it up on the stove until everything in melted, add essential oil and put it in a container. As it cools I mix it every 10 minutes so the balm sets evenly. I use a butter knife to mix.

4 to 1 I’d say would work best for the beard if that’s what you’re using it for.

5 to 1 absorbs into the skin better.

[spankyjr1]

Thanks much appreciated
I have not been stirring while cooling maybe that is what I’m doing wrong I’ll give it a try

[shindig153]

Happy to help. Good luck with the balm.

[shindig153]

@jjs it’s been a while since we’ve seen you around.

Hope all is well in your world!

We have the tent set up and cleaned , received the new AC Infinity fan / filter kit today along with a new HLG 135 Bspec for veg . Got a Jack Herer and a Purple Haze bean in H2O this morning , let the fun begin folk’s !

[jjs]

Got the Advanced Nutrient’s, micro grow bloom on order as well as a quart of Armor si …anyone a silica user in their growing ? I would like to hear when you are using it as far as veg , flower ect. , from reading into it seems to be best for flower stage ? I like to top the plants and lst along the veg stage , so if it hardens the branches …well not so good .

[jjs]

Baby’s ….may they grow big n strong

[shindig153]

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I use green sand for silica. It also asds other minerals into the soil.

Here’s a short article.

It helps the plants be a lot more sturdy. It does take a little extra effort to crop and train. The braches seem less likely to snap because of how sturdy they are.

[jjs]

Thanks for the info on the sand , maybe next time , ordered the an nutes and armor si and it’s on my shelf for this grow now . Happy 420 brother

I’m stoked on your grow Brother and watching! I’m using silica blast. It’s my first time using it. And I started late with it. But I can see a difference for sure and will continue to use it.

[jjs]

Thanks brother ! Think for me anyway it’s best to use the silica towards the end of veg , just to be on the safe side with my lst …probably break less branch’s that way ! Again trial in error seems to be the norm for me …lol
Your grow is looking fantastic, going to have yourself some nice budds my friend . High Times always !

[Oldguy]

@jjs. Just checking in brother.
Hope you and your lil ones are doing well.

[jjs]

Alls good brother up north ! Thanks for asking , finally getting some sunny weather in this part of the country, a welcoming event I’ll say .
Lil ones are doing ok , going into week three . Got em under the HLG 135R last week at 50% on 18/6 schedule. Seem to be taking it well .
This will be the first time growing inside during the summer months so temp will rise a bit as well as the humidity, shouldn’t make a lot of difference with the new vent system.
Your garden is looking great ! Got some mouth watering strains going there ! Thanks for checking in brother.
I’ve got a bunch of honey do’s to catch up on here , my wife has been in the Philippines visiting her family for the last month and is do back next week, time for me to get some work done around here I guess …
Enjoy the wkend coming up and stay lit my friend…High Time Always

[Oldguy]

@jjs

Stay safe and lit my friend.
