CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread for General BS and Good Will

[CannaGranny]

Ya bigger is better but I can't smoke all I'm growing now......I started growing 4 just to get me through to the next grow and I'd be scraping the bottoms of my jars before my next harvest.......

Then I found this place and all hells broken loose. To fit in I had to up my game and produce better weed more consistently......

So I'm now producing more than I can smoke and I'm caught in a stream of making more, bigger, thicker, sweeter, sparklier.........more more more.......when does it end? I just got a new light....lol.....no time soon I guess.....

I just want to grow it all! By law we can have six in bloom, I reopened an old grow space just to have five this time. I like the variety. Out of all I have grown indoor for the past twelve years, I have only kept two Mothers. I guess I’m searching for that perfect six!

Wow! The closest I've come to wildlife has been in the ocean. Had a pod of killer whales(Orcas) give me a gander as I floated around like a silly hor d'oeurvre waiting to be eaten just off the coast of western australia. After they left I had to paddle back in to shore to empty my wetsuit of the crap I took when I felt that first whoosh of something large swimming underneath me.

I feel like everything in Australia wants to kill you. Also, I find the ocean much scarier than land... who knows what's down there waiting for a snack to swim by.

Spring is coming ! Lol mayb this will give ya hope?

If that’s your yard...right now...and not an old pic...I hate you.

When it comes to gummies, candies, chocolates.....I just buy them. I'll make tincture, and brownies or cookies.

Yeah, unfortunately I can't do the gummies from the store, I have yet to find any that don't really fuck my Crohn's up the next day. Like ulcer bleeding bad. So I wanted to try to make my own.

Now my lollipops are amazing imo! They are easier to make than brownies and are very shelf stable. Actually going to make another batch tonight I think. And the best thing is that they are super easy on my stomach.

Ask @PerfecTrader about them , I sent him some a few days ago. He is not the only one that said they taste better than any store bought edible ever.

Was going to post a how to in here but I saw there already is a thread from a few years ago how to make pops. But there are a few tricks I've picked up after doing a few runs that could help others

And btw @CannaGranny I love this thread, really fun. Reminds me of the olden Internet days lol

Just the damn insects alone are freakin' scary!

When I was surfing in South Africa I was surfing at a spot called Jeffereys Bay. Some of the locals took me out as this was my first time surfing Jeffereys. I noticed a bunch of bouys all lined up across the expanse of the beach front. I asked why they had so many bouys in the water. One of the locals told me they used them to support the shark nets they hung off the bouys! He told me every once in a while a "Fat Jack", that's what they called Great White Sharks, will get through and to keep a look out.

They were probably just fucking with me since I was the newb yank but it's tough to get that image out of your mind especially in a setting you've never been in before.

Pop your recipe here We make gummies for my wife but she's not happy with the taste. Shes found a candy flavour additive but there's limited flavors to choose from to mix with jello.

In another life I was stationed at Pearl Harbor, early 90’s. Local guy took a couple of us to little known spot. Locals were pulling tiger sharks out of the water. Freaked me out….Didn’t want to look a pu$$y.lol

Damn sea turtle broke the surface next to me and scared a shriek outta me! Good times

Yup! Had a pod of porpoises swimming up and down the coast at the beach I was at. Really beautiful to watch as they swim by. I guess they got curious about me because one came up no more than a couple feet from me as I sat on my board. Scared the shit out of me. I always saw them as these beautiful creatures but when you see one up close? Those are some large animals.

It's a process that might be too lengthy for a post here. As far as flavoring, I use the lorann flavor oils. I have also been using raw turbinado sugar in the past 4 runs that might also add to the flavor, and the coconut oil adds a great taste.

It's funny now when I open the coconut oil jar it's like I smell weed that isn't there because I'm so used to smelling infused oil now lol

I've tried likely 10 different brand name edibles. Select, Wana, Wyze, Baked Bros, etc etc etc and not one is even close to what @ninjadip made. The hard candy lasts longer, tastes better, and has better feel to it than anything else I have tried. I buy Wana and Wyld indica + cbn, cbg etc etc for my mom and better half and they are either $2 or if bogo $1 per 10ml. That adds up over time and also have to fetch them.
I'm very on board with this hard candy approach. I have made coconut infused oil a few times but I made brownies and cookies and shit with them. The sugar gets to me and is tough on my stomach the next day sometimes.
The 1st one I tried of Ninjas I actually gave to my lady cause he said he felt it might be the weakest but damn that red one tasted similar but "cleaner" than those red lollipops we ate as kids that have a loop for a stick. It was a cherry flavor that was spot on. The banana creme one was off the hook as well. I'm not gonna lie. My last ate 2, my bro ate 2, and I ate the rest and dang yesterday was one of the most pain free and relaxing days I can recall. Thanks again Ninja, really appreciate it bro and also the Black Domina beans. Really hopin the one I am popping meow germs so can join the Elite 8 for this upcoming grow. Only the BD is in the coast of Maine Seed started soil so if does germ, I bet it grows better than the rest

.......I like lollipos too...... :(

He he he.....

I love sour gummies. I'm not even an overall sugar fan. But those Trolli all berry sour gummies are like food cocaine.

My Mom had Crohn's and so do a few friends, I'm aware of how not fun that can be. It's a rough condition that can manifest itself in different ways. Most people seem to find ways that are good for them, I don't know how good some of the new medications are, but I hope it's not so bad for you.

Everyone's recipe is different. You should definitely post your recipe if you want to. :)

To many nasty spiders.

I also would like to vote for the sharing of the recipe @ninjadip lol... I'm sick of all my recipes and my love handles say I need to lay off the cookies and fudge for a minute lol. I just happen to have some canna coconut oil in the freezer just looking for a new use.
I've never tried hard candy or lollis... done caramel, fudge, cookies, no bake cookies, banana bread, peanut butter balls etc.... all the fat kid shit.

For real... I don't have a problem with spiders as long as they're not on me....I usually set them free... but squirrel sized spiders, or spiders that can off you? No thanks!

Thanks for being considerate. Yeah Crohn's plus ulcerative colitis is a bitch. I've been completely off all medication for almost a year I think now. I almost had to get the colonoscopy bag once, but thankfully i recovered in the nick of time during one hospital visit.

Instead of OTC stuff I watch my diet and self medicate. I made my first edible two months ago and I found that it made me feel like I never even had Crohn's. Not only did it not cause pain, which can happen from eating almost anything, it gave my intestines this intense warming feeling that was bliss.

I think I'll make a thread detailing the recipe and link it here. I'm making a batch tonight actually.

Peanut butter balls sound awesome!!!

One thing you need to make hard candy that most people don't have in their kitchen is a candy thermometer. But I think you probably have one.

I'll put something together here soon for recipe details. I'm taking pictures of my process in tonight's batch.

I'm excited, going to make them flavored.

I went a little overboard when I ordered flavors and got near all of them lol

As a Deadhead / Phish head, I am very familiar with various "goo balls". You can make any combination of nuts, butter, nut butter, chocolate, chips, marshmallow, etc that you think would taste good to you.

Those flavor concentrates are cool......is it like extract, like Vanilla extract or other flavors or is it different? We got a good ice cream machine recently and I'm looking forward to making all kinds of ice cream and gelato. I just got banana and strawberry extracts, and want to use them.....

I don't think they are like extracts, in that they are not alcohol based but instead oil based. I know these are the ones to use in candy making because of the concentration and that it plays well in candy recipes. I use one dram/bottle per 12 lollipop batch.

If it were me I would use more natural alternatives to make flavored ice cream than the oils I use for candy. Like real strawberries and a strawberry slurry made from soaking strawberries in sugar.

I have a recipe for strawberry infused ice cream out of this cookbook I got, sounds great, but I've never made ice cream before and the process is intimidating. One of the best recipes in there is a "Snickers" bar that uses infused oil. Supposed to come out looking and tasting like a real Snickers bar.

I just went to the LorAnn oils web site. Good stuff. Thank you. ;)

Sea turtles kind of look like dinosaurs when they break the water. The first time I saw one was a WHAT-THE-FUCK?? oh, it's a turtle moment.
