    Is it possible to identify a strain from the early 2000's based solely on my terrible description?

    Hey! Yeah, still searching. Talked to a buddy about it who grew up in the same town, he remembers it well, and thinks it may have been a landrace? Yeah BC and Beasters came about around the same time, but I think just the same, most things were called it. But indeed BC bud was exactly what I'm...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    Hell yeah man, that sounds cool! Maine isn’t so far. I need a few pieces too, chasing a sonicator right now.

    I'm also in Boston. Let me know if you end up grabbing anything.

    Made my first cold shake green dragon. Was not terribly successful.

    I mean, potent, certainly. But disgusting. I did the cold ever clear 190 method. Decarbed an ounce and broke it up into manageable pieces (did not grind, though since it was dry a lot fell apart) put it into a jar and froze it for 24 hours. Also chilled the everclear along side. I then combined...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    Not sure where you live, but if you live in or near a biotech city check out the auctions. Labs are always going out of business and stuff is sold for pennies on the dollar. I’m watching a few sonicators right now, but they always have ultrasonic baths. High end, lab grade, rates for tens of...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    I'm looking diligently for sonicators and they are hard to come by. I can find plenty that max out at 50ml, which is too small to do anything worthwhile. I can get an ultrasonic bath no problem for cheap, but have the same fear as you. Is it effective and efficient? Is it even worth getting?

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    This thread is causing a whole lot of learning! I just learned just now about winterization. I don't see why it wouldn't work. My first thought though is that you're using ethanol, which has a super low flash point and a sonicator causes quite a bit of heat to form. When using it to make an...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    From what I understand, this method will taste much better than a shake and wait or whatever using alcohol, as it preserves terpenes and taste or whatnot. I've only been learning about this for a few days tho, so I could be way off. I was under the impression that less compounds are lost doing...

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    Found some interesting readying, if anyone is curious. Answered my question a bit: https://www.hielscher.com/probe-type-sonication-vs-ultrasonic-bath-an-efficiency-comparison.htm But if anyone has actually done this, I'd like to hear about it!

    Ultrasonic cleaner for tincture extraction?

    Has anybody ever tried to use an ultrasonic cleaner to make tincture? I've been reading into using a sonicator for it, and there's a bevy of information on that, but I can't find a whole lot on using an ultrasonic water bath or jewelry cleaner. It should work in theory, just maybe not quite as...

    Anybody ever grow Devil Driver?

    It has been an odd grow season this year, for everything. All of my friends' plants and gardens were behind (weed and not weed). My moms tomatoes took forever to come in, some friends lost a lot of plants. It was super cold here the start of the season and everything was stunted; my plants at...

    Anybody ever grow Devil Driver?

    Healthy in that they are extremely tall and have no visible deficiencies. They get full sunlight some time between 8-9am and full on until sunset (Massachusetts). The one on the left has huge buds and is right on track. The one on the right tho. I'm growing one of those elsewhere, and am having...

    Anybody ever grow Devil Driver?

    I have a few Devil Driver (or devils reserve? I forget. Same breeder anyway, and similar strain) growing. They are massive, two colas each plant, each 10.5’+ tall, outdoors. Super healthy. But they are taking FOREVER in flower. They’ve been well into flower for over a month, but the buds...

    2025 outdoor grows! Let’s see em!

    Got hit by the woodchuck today

    These creatures are brazen! On the one hand, we are the visitors and it is in fact their domain. But dammit, my plants! I feel like nature is starting to push back. Again, I respect it. But my plants! We have been fighting these woodchucks for 40 years. We have fencing, fox urine, we've tried...

    Got hit by the woodchuck today

    Spared a couple of my other plants, but another unpictured is now missing half of her leaves. One of the plants pictured is about 3’. Also ate pepper, zucchini, eggplants, and my tomato plants. Heartbreaking. What a gluttonous little jerk.

    H&G Roots Excelerator or GH RapidStart for Aerocloner?

    I enjoy that you're critical of Roots Excelurator. I just got some for free, but have some concerns. It's not orgranic (or doesn't say it is) so that always bothers me what could be in a PGR (If it is technically classified as one? I'm not sure) but my huge concern is that it says in multiple...

    Why won’t this plant GROW?!

    I I go mad with pruning, typically my plants love it. Make the occasional over prune and it takes longer than I’d prefer for them to bounce back, but they do. But this is a first for me. You’re right, there is no new growth at all where I topped, but those fan leaves have indeed gotten larger...

    Why won’t this plant GROW?!

    What would be proper topping? This is the first time I’ve screwed it up.

    Why won’t this plant GROW?!

    Other than the not growing (and the munched away leaves down below) it is an extremely healthy looking plant. Like I said, stem is thick and strong, the remaining leaves are big and a deep green and no discoloration. That’s what baffles me, they seemingly stopped growing after I topped them (I...
