I love the lemon terpenes over all others. Hopefully get some decent aromatics from these. My two MW’s I did last round were a mix of fruit and a hint of citrus. One of them is very racy and the other more pleasant to smoke.
What surprised me was the Super Skunk: it’s WAY racy and unpleasant for the first 30 minutes or so then mellows out. My favorite right now is the NYC Diesel.
First off: it’s not overpowering. I’m guessing around 15% THC. Two good bong rips and I’ll get an initial jolt but mellows out well and stays light (if you know what I mean). Some of these strains make my eyes blurry and others no effect, still others are too mellow. I like a good terpene profile and am always searching for that just right one. This last go-round I was pleased with the NYC Diesel (fruit and lemon) as well as the Durban Poison.
Sounds like a great review. Makes me want to grow my dad some NYC diesel.
Currently he’s deciding if he likes amnesia haze or green crack or inzane in the membrane more.
I understand the source has a vaccume chamber but in but I have seen many people using secondary vaccume chambers with their resin along with a heat mat and a silicone mat to purge the resin of all hydrocarbons.
Is this required with the source or only with the columns, I do understand that ethanol washes are different but I’ve never personally done either from start to finish.
The goal here is to make carts with terps my girlfriend can smoke out of a 510 oil/vape cart.
Unfortunately rosin is not ideal for the carts at a home grow level.
Not required. One as source turbo is basically doing same thing as heat mat and vacuum chamber. But also because the alcohol used is typically food grade, like 190 proof everclear. So not as critical if trace amounts were to remain, but still uses same process. Just additionally recovers the alcohol so it can be used again.
I’m not sure how good end product is at making carts as I’ve never tried. But I’m sure it can be done, and this seems like most reasonable way to fill your needs.
Pretty much what @dbrn32 said. Many buy a buchner funnel and vacuum pump as well as a silicone mat and vacuum chamber but it’s not necessary. I’m not too concerned about a little ethanol in full spectrum extractions simply because I’m going to mix it in hot coconut oil to make butter. For dabs I’ll spread the extract out on a silicone mat to vent before storing/using.
I’ve never done carts but my understanding is that it does a great job.
@Nicky i make carts all the time using the Etoh, bigger version of the source. When making my vapes I do use a vacuum chamber after running it through the etoh and letting it sit out for a day with a fan on it. I use the vacuum chamber to ensure I get all alcohol out before partially decarbing the oil in the oven. I’m not into Bomb making .
I posted a couple of things in Calis concentrate thread with some good info for vape making
if I didn’t know any better I would think every one in here were pot heads
Those look great there. How much light are you vegging with. If I could keep mine small like that. I would love to make a table so every thing is eye level as to the floor every now and then. My JH auto is bigger than all the others this grow. It is going to do good. It looks like you are still going to pull some weight with out the 4’ plants
Thanks for the great info and re assurance team, I knew that th best place to ask would be right here for a general idea and now I can be confident in buying the source and moving forward from there while reading to learn from others in that thread as well as finding what works best for me.
I got a decent yield off of that plant and it’s less racy than the first one I did. The one that really did well was the Durban Poison and got good feedback from friends on that one too.
I did a NYC Diesel and it’s right at the top of the list for me.
I can’t get over the smell of the diesels LOL… They smoke good but the smell is another thing. I grew East Coast SD and hubby wouldn’t even try it because of the smell. I grew a Banana Mango and it was a SD cross… I figured I could get one over on him just because of the name but he took one sniff and gave me that look LOL
