Drinking from a Cattle Trough

I’ve got a serious hack I came up with. Takes this already pretty damn good oil to a whole nother level of stupidity. Be making a batch of gummy’s soon, I’ll take some pics

Gummies by jj
I went down the rabbit hole, seems like lbs of flower and gallons of oil later, I done experimenting. 20mg equivalent so these are not every one.

10 grams rosin
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil infused
1/2 teaspoon lecithin
2 tbs gelatin
3 oz package flavored jello

Rosin into measuring cup fill remainder with infused oil. Let sit on low heat for 30


water on low heat, once hot and and dissolve the lecithin

Once dissolved, not that simple, and in hot oil/rosin. Whisk continuously until blended (10 minutes+~) steaming hot but never boiling


With your free hand put a 2 cup measuring cup into the oven on 350
Once you’re oil/water mixture has bonded add in the gelatin and jello all while whipping that wisk
Once this mixture comes back to temp and dissolves completely (another 5+~) sit a hot screen over your now really F’ing hot measuring cup and pour
Into the molds
Into the freezer, chill time maybe 20 minutes
They’ll lighten up as they get solid
Finished gummies are a bit dark from the risin
The screen will catch any solids. I press with 160 micron bags and my oil is unfiltered, solids settle out. The screen don’t lie

20 mg equivalent so venture in at your own risk
The hot cup and hot screen will take your yield from 65 up to 75 gummy’s so it’s worth the effort

The Wife’s- soapwart (ground cover in front) doesn’t like wet feet. Topped the zinnia's to maybe control their height
Cloner- culled down to 1 mother each a Maui to flower
Veg- it’s time to clone. Lemon tree is branching like the beast she is.
Jealousy- limited stretch in the seedling phase so that’s a plus
Plum Crazy- flower day 0
Pure Michigan- 4 weeks flower
Apples and bananas - 7 weeks flower

Processing was the goal when I started this build back in '21, taken a minute but we are getting there.

I was training the last remaining Plum and snapped a branch off, yep, reminded me why she is on her way out. Did I ever mention just how strong a smell this gal has. You've heard the term "a country mile?" well you can smell her that far away

Project Okie as I call her isn't the easiest to clone but she makes up for it in other areas, she's been the backbone here for a couple years now. Glad she's working for ya

Trust me, , I've been watching!!!!

There are so many different ways to enjoy these plants, I can get overwhelmed with the many options available...

Poor Plum Crazy....

She just wanted you to be happy....

Project Okie....

She's a tough one to clone, but we'll get her one way or another....

I can tell why you've kept her around!!

The Wife’s- trying our hand at training the zinnias, climbers getting it going but the soapwart ain’t doing to well
Cloner- looking fairly healthy for 5 days cut
Veg- lots happening
Jealousy from seed supreme- one is a beauty, one is a little confused
Maui 86 has found her spot- to flower she might go!
And the newest member of the family- SuperTrainWreck (stw). Thank you @cpurola ! I flowered Trainwreck back in ‘23 and only retired her to try new lines, we are stoked to have her back. There’s a V2 of this strain out now from Mendocino.
Lemon tree is going to be a beast
Plum crazy- I might give her shit but she wouldn’t be here if she didn’t produce. And she does, in her own unique way
1 week flower

Pure Michigan- 5 weeks flower, well over 2 gallon per day consumption. Glad I don’t hand water
Apples and Bananas- 8 weeks flower/9.5 flipped. At this point I’m tracking her intake daily, she’s still at 1 gallon and the hairs are just now changing

Just wanted to let you know, I found the perfect spot for my cloner. A closet that shares a wall with the garage is always chilly, and in fact I overwintered my canna lilly roots in there and they're still in hibernation mode. Now I have to clean out the machine, get new collars, set up a light and we're off to the races.

The rc pile has the older boys rigs in it we’ll be getting them out for the season camping and maybe a trip to the coast. they are super fun on the beach! : )

the jeep i kept within the scale class. they have parameters of amount of material you can cut before Theyll bump you into a different class ie the “wroncho!” not stock lol!

I was a noncustodial dad and needed something for us to do together. Lego’s to RC’s then 4 wheelers. The rc’s were and still are a lot of fun together. We bring the wives who also drive their own rigs.
I can still remember buying that first slash! Man those were the days!

Hahaha! Iv watched guys drop STUPID MONEY on rcs. I had a nice collection of team associated rigs for legit racing. It was really fun. Got to the point where it wasnt anymore (big races with 300+ rigs) almost need a “pit crew” i quit all that, to competitive, and the real goofy b*st*rds hated when id yell TOY CARS!

my 5 year old wants to get into flying them lol! im not ready for all the crashing though. at some point id like to get a flight sim and proper controller so she can crash the computer a few times before an actual rc plane
