Thanks for the advice maaate! I saw these in a supermarket the other day and debated buying some. But thought Iāll see how bad the situation was with the sticky traps firstā¦
Good news isā¦ā¦not a single bug in sight!!!
Sticky traps have collected a combined total of nothing!
So Iām pretty sure I found those suckers really early and managed to avoid a catastrophe! Phewee!
Hey @anon33684698 i was catching up on your journal and looks like your GDP and mine are roughly the same age. Itās nice to have an almost direct comparison, albeit theyāre different strains but both indicas, so similar in stature.
Glad to see you got your nanners under control now
Hereās some pics from yesterday, weāre in week 8 now and things seem to be progressing pretty well!
Hello CJ, I know you were asking a while back about diluting hydrogen peroxide that was too strong. I think you had 12% and needed to make 3% so I found this random chart for you. Stuck the link in as well
Ahh good memory Mr G! It was on my last grow when I was doing the bud wash that I asked about this.
I think I may have had 6% peroxide but I still had a browse on that link and it was interesting! Especially about āfood gradeā peroxide vs āregularā peroxide, and that unlike regular peroxide āfood gradeā doesnāt qualify as a āhazardous materialā so can be shipped easier.
Thanks Davy-baby, I think Iāll save that and learn more about the chemistry of what Iām actually doing! Thanks friend!
@CygnusX1 Oh hey friend! Thanks for checking in on me, Iāve just been so busy. Been looking after the girl still just not much time to talk about it.
I did have some fun today though, so my last grow has been curing for the best part of 3 months now and it still has a hay like smell and taste. Iāve resorted to the fact itās not gonna changeā¦ sooooā¦
Aww thanks mate, obviously not good enough.
I think I know what caused it; Insufficient nutrients and poor lighting. I mean it grew, but perhaps only just. It never thrived.
Unlike this current grow which has received far more superior light and is getting all the micronutrients she needs.
Hey @Davyg, are you referring to the pics? I made Cannabutter!
So my last grow was tasteless and disappointing. It did give me a mellow high but tasted like nothing, soooo I thought well, it must have some THC in it because it satisfies the craving somewhat but just not nice to smoke - why not make butter with it!
35 grams, coarsly ground
First,decarboxylated it in the oven (110Ā°c 45mins)
(Crease the baking paper so it doesnāt touch the baking tin too much)
681 grams of good/real butter
Half a cup of water
Slow cooker on low
As butter melts, throw in a little water and then the decarbād ground bud, stir
Put lid on and let simmer for 3 hours stirring occasionally
Allow to cool slightly
Strain with cheese cloth (gently) into container
Put in fridge to cool
Once cooled, there will be a layer of water underneath the butter, separate the water from the butter (just take butter out pour down drain)
And voila! You have your self some sweet cannabutter!
Thatās some good looking butter CJ. Everyone i know that makes it itās WAY green and if you COOK with it and give edibles it is no problem but when you HAND it to someone to spread on something you get those ālooksā lolā¦
I used a frying pan when I first made butter, I just didnāt fancy standing over the hob for 3 hours again hence I used the slow cooker this time.
You can use oil to make infused oil. Not sure if it will turn into butter thoughā¦ Leafly have some great recipes. Thatās where I got the butter one from.
Good luck! Let me know if/when you have a crack at it. x
Thanks buddy! Yeah my first one was way greener. Not sure why so yellow this time - maybe the weed I used was less potent, or had less of something in it that the stuff I bought.
Either way, iām about to make some cookies with it - Iāll let yāall know soonā¦.
Everything iāve trimmed/pruned from all the ladies this grow, has gotten washed and laid on a rack to dry out. I know they arenāt very potent but they ARE useable right? I save stems from bag-weed too, especially potent bag-weed. I figure why waste all that if i can TRY to put it to use? I think iām close to 2oz now of THAT type of material and could make a couple 1oz practice runs for experience SOON. Just not THIS moment. I know in a couple months iāll be cooped up in here from the COLD outside and stir crazy from staring at my indoor grows 500 times a day so iāll need something to do My NEW neighbors, you may have seen me mention before, she makes KILLER gummies. She uses , hmmm, dang i forgot that word already. Emulsifiers? She gets something on amazon, that is an oil i think and it brings out the THC so you donāt have to use so much product (from what i gleaned in our conversation). I know i have a LOT to learn still before going that route but she makes POTENT stuff! I ate one of her gummies before getting on the river last weekend and i didnāt stop smiling the WHOLE way down that 4.5hr float I didnāt catch a SINGLE fish, still smiling. I snagged/broke my line TWICE, still smiling, almost tipped over in a rapid and got my vape wet temporarily, still smiling I wanna make some of THOSE types of treats Oh, and when i told them about my friendsā little girls in the āstink patchā in their garden, she told me how their niece was visiting, saw some plants outside and asked what they were and she (lying,) said a special lettuce. And their niece just randomly blurts āit smells like Uncle Dannyā ā¦i was more than smiling on that, i almost fell out of my kayak laughing
