Man this morning the Widow is tasting like pepper and Fox Farms.
I am actually going to pitch a 10th gram of RSO that somehow turned into asphalt when I dribbled it onto some kief. No sales department is going to salvage this product.
" Starting with a sudden tightening of the throat and continuing on to a feeling that you have made a terrible mistake, this concentrate delivers all the aspects of a city size tire fire. Exhale brings steady streams of foul metallic/battery acid smoke and a rush of knowledge that you are not going to do that again."
i have as couple plants that are
literally ruined without a good flush before cut if your using salt based soluble.
PSA: Regardless what anyone's personal opinions are, if you are growing some PB4 with salt feeds, and you dont do a good flush, and dont nail the dry and cure, you *will* ruin that plants flower lol 100%... And by ruined i mean ruined, not "a little off" or "tastes kinda funny". You will completely destroy the qualities of that one's flower if you dont.
Ive already had to deal with a couple cats on ICmag claim flushing does nothing to end quality, then listen to them whine about how harsh and bitter tasting the pb4 x haymeadow buds they fed til the day before cut were. I wasnt even aware there was a growing movement against flushing salt feeds, thats not just weird, its absurd
Theres a lot of plants where theres not a big difference between flushed and unflushed, but theres just as many where there is a HUGE one. Get into land racey plants and heavy sativas, and flushing, dry, and cure becomes
*very* important.
If youre making RSO full spectrum extracts, flush and cure is important no matter what the plant is. Alcohol is only semi polar, and anything soluble in water is also soluble in alcohol because they are miscible with each other. Plants
do not break the atomic bond of salt based nutrient molecules until they use them for something, they circulate as is within their phloem, most heavily concentrated in the fan leaves but spread fairly evenly throughout the entire phloam network of a plant.. Theres no mineral processing going on through the osmosis process in the roots. nutrients circulate in the phloem exactly as they are absorbed at the roots until the plant uses them. Thats why mineral burn exists and expresses the way it does at all.
unflushed flower isnt going to hurt you any more then setting any other plant material on fire and huffing the combusted remains.... But its definitely going to taste more unpleasant then otherwise. Most free standing nitrogen tastes acidic and sour, and it interacts with the moisture in mucous membranes in ways that dont feel super pleasant, if youve ever smoked straight sugar trim you know the nitrogen acidity sensation, phosphorous literally tastes like sweaty butt farts and smells even worse and when pushed hard to flower i can literally smell it in the flower without breaking it down, and the trichomes spark and pop as burned (too much sulfr can cause this too), something we have all also experienced, and calcium and potassium taste like metals because they are metals* We have all smoked flower that tasted just like cal mag smells, even if we havent realized it. 
. And using a broad spectrum alcohol extract will concentrate these unwanted effects every bit as much as the oils and rsins themselves bhecause the alcohol isnt just a non polar solvent, its water miscible, and thus anything soluble in water, is also soluble in alcohol, which includes the unused salts.
Chemistry ftw. It learns ya stuff. Hell, in the 90s and early 2000s many heads thought
Neem oil was one of the smells cannabis made and not something people were spraying on the flower
ive even had a couple old heads getting all horn dogged up for my plants in veg after smelling neem on them. One was in denial til i let him smell the neem spray itself lol. (these arent growers, just long time smokers)
is such a cool color on cannabis.
