Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Tinkering around the shop:
So I had some older flower and some time and some questions that roll around from time to time. First off, candle warmers, how hot do they get as 190 or above Iโ€™m good. Second, Iโ€™ve had this bottle for a spell and never used it.
So I decarbed 40 grams and ground it up then covered it in oil. Candle warmers got surprisingly hot so the mixture sat for 24 hours. Straining was as much a test of a theory, fill a 37 micron press bag with the mixture and squeeze it out with a 150 ml syringe. Worked great, so well I did a final rinse with the press bag but used it in reverse.
Answered a lot of questions and opens the door for inexpensive equipment to process with all be it small quantities IMG 1439IMG 1434IMG 1432IMG 1433IMG 1435IMG 1436IMG 1437IMG 1438

Thats awesome! So is that ready to go into a vape with that consistency or would you add more glycerin?

Vape ready from a $20 piece of equipment. Oh yeah, remember the equipment gasplease bought for a few hundred to turn his rosin into a liquid? This will accomplish the same thing, in theory. Iโ€™ll give a whirl soon
 
Wow, you've got this process down to a science. Unless you've not shared your disasters like I have. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Question about the glycerine, what does it taste like, I've never used it. Also, does it dissolve the trics as well as oil or alcohol?

vegetable glycerin isnโ€™t edible. Itโ€™s the liquid you see in carts for vaping. Thereโ€™s a few different ways to make carts and this isnโ€™t the best but itโ€™s very inexpensive and refillable carts start at a couple bucks

Disasters, geeze where do I startโ€ฆgood thing is I learned from most of em and they donโ€™t happen as often these daysโ€ฆโ€ฆ bull shit, I overfill overflow at least once a week
 
Hey jj.....

Now that I'm in a pissy, ๐Ÿ˜‰, mood, I've gotta tell you...

My local post office sucks....

So we are kinda hopeful, but man they do not listen, or maybe they didn't hear a word that came outta my mouf......๐Ÿ˜‚

Again, hopeful.......arghhhhh....

Yours and mine both. Mailed a simple envelope, 14 days to a buddy. Alternative is unreasonably expensive, mailed a box out to same buddy, $46 and it was no bigger than a shoe box.
 
Clone day- one more 24 day cycle should put flower on a 12 week flower cycle. Not the most robust batch but time will tellIMG 1456

And on the topic of cloning I hit up the grow store while I was in the big city. Theyโ€™ve got some cool stuff out there!

So germinated this plant couple few weeks ago. It got caught up in the peat somehow and went horizontal. I dug her out at day 6 and sheโ€™s done fine since, but sheโ€™s a freak like me!
4 cot leaves
6 single blades
12 3 blades
Iโ€™ve never topped, just watched. Her time is up but worth a picIMG 1458

That " Time is up " statement......๐Ÿคฃ + ๐Ÿ˜” = ๐Ÿฅด

Poor lil nice looking plant!!

The single or tri-leaves are kinda confusing......๐Ÿค”

My gdp has some tri-leaves, but looks great other than that....๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Revegges do the single and tri-leaves, but it ain't happening here, nor do I believe there....

Maybe a ๐Ÿ•ณ is calling for me....๐Ÿ™‰
