I went back to Ohio
But my city was wasted
Oh, Where'd you go Ohiohohoh

Results are in (sort of) for the new cold wash.
I test piloted a bit of the leftovers off the mason jar, maybe a 1/4 of an eye dropper or <. This has been a wasted afternoon. Must tread carefully going forward.

I’m really curious what it looks like. After I evap’d mine by about 1/2 it’s quite dark.

Nice. Is that the result of this post?

Trying a different "cold wash" method for Tincture. Should be done in 48 hrs and ready to demo. So far I have used about 14 grams of weed, 450 ML of grain alcohol and I plan to let about 1/2 that to evaporate. If I produce 150 MLs of finished product I will be satisfied.

Chemistry is fun.

Yes, that is from that batch. It is Green Dragon colored and I have reduced by about 30%, may drop another 20%. What I experimented with yesterday was the bottom of the beaker after the top clear green liquid was poured off. There was a layer of solids and layer of heavier liquid and then the final dark green liquid.


In retrospect the dosage was way too much and I was useless for about 16 hours.

^^^Time spent wasted is not necessarily wasted time

I keep trying to explain that one to my wife. The funny part is I'm not the one who gets wasted. She tries edibles and tinctures and such and complains that she was wasted and couldn't accomplish anything. I keep saying that she needs to just go with it.

So Connecticut has waived it's $100 fee for a medical marijuana card.
You still need a referral from a provider.
Received mine yesterday. Wahoo !

Another reason to grow your own. Hopefully the industry can sort itself out WRT safe working conditions.

JK, growing your own is also really a lot of fun.

^^^Until you get a spider mite infestation…

[Bunion 2020]

I grow outdoors. Ain't no spider mites that can survive.

[riser4]

Spider mite predators always s worked well, but you had to spend. That's what a friend told me.

By the time I could order/receive predator mites & ladybugs, the Borg was so large that the predators are overwhelmed.

Hasn’t happened for many years but I have PTSD from the experience. Ended up throwing out the crop, tossing all air transfer & watering equipment, and burning the grow tent.

Funny, those were cheaper and really didn't work well or fast enough if there was a bad infestation. The lesson was scrounge up the money for the predators.

There is a local retailer here.

I’ve become much more careful about where I get my starts…

Ya, never got mites from seed. Funny how that works.

I've been to a few of the NYS legal stores now and they're pretty well done. I went to Flynnstoned in Syracuse yesterday, huge store with all sortsa goodies at almost reasonable prices with considerably lower taxes than Massachusetts.

Figured I’d share this, after cbd cream not doing a thing for me, i decided to make a thc one myself. 1g of wax or live resin or any type of dab oil, and 8:1 coco oil to beeswax. It works wonders.
