I'm no scientist but I've made a lot of tincture and I've seen a 190 alcohol finish a tincture in an hour. Really after 20 minutes the vast majority of cannabinoids have been removed, literally melted into suspension of the alcohol so yes, the stronger the alcohol the quicker it removes the molecules we want. At the same time a 40% alcohol will remove most of the cannabinoids but it takes a lot longer and you also strip a lot more of the molecules you don't want like waxes and chlorophyll.

I'm in CA, the state of fucking delusions and those MF'ers, through stupid regulations have tripped the cost of getting 190 proof alcohol. With the stroke of a fucking pen it now costs about $200 a gallon. WTF? I gotta set up a still, this is horseshit. Don't get me started

Just got some of this to use on my auto flowers this week. Should be shipped the same day.

Planning to do a 24 hour soak to germinate then put them right in 7 gallon fabric pots.

Anything else I should know? If not I’ll just keep winging it

Very nice. I have a brand I want to get and try to for next year. Let me know how this one works for you. Did you use any mycor with your first batch? Those roots on that male were lovely.

Being in denial about one political party being better than the other in this country is the definition of cognitive dissonance to me. Left and right wing belong to the same bird. Americans bickering over which is best is exactly what they want. If we all removed the layers of brainwashing and indoctrination, we may get somewhere (I get it's uncomfortable and painful). Until then, it's best not to discuss. Neither party has any of our best interests at heart. We are simply fools for believing it.

I'd soak them for 16 hours, and do the paper towel method, then put them in soil.
Ps : becareful using nutes on young plants. Cuttings can't handle it yet.

The only time I've discussed politics was to state we shouldn't be discussing politics. I'm not on Facebook nor do I care to discuss our trainwreck government regardless of the party. My Dad retired from the Navy. Have his dogtags with the notch.

Was born this way, OldChucky. May be getting worse as I age. Cynical of governing bodies, I am.

@cbrians
When did you put your seed in water? I must have missed an episode or 2.

Yeah, with old seeds, there is an old Jorge Cervantes trick, use a

also, scuff the seeds, I use an old matchbox with a piece of low grit sandpaper. Toss them in shake them a bit to scuff that outer membrane of the seed. Then A 30% peroxide float.

When I did the 14 year old seeds I did scarification (same method as you roll tape shake) then 12 hour soak in 20:1 water /peroxide

Then straight to the soil, watered in with clonex clone and seedling solution, got 2/3 to pop, gunna do some more oldies soon I’ll be doing the same method

I also got the seeds between my fingers took the sandpaper and sanded down the split ridge down the seed so it had less resistance to pop

You only have a few days to wait. Exciting. What did you get to grow? The autos you were talking about?

I just cut my auto down today. Someone said it was growing testes. Instead of collecting seeds, I decided to just cull it. Not sure I want seeds from a feminized plant that switched up. Couldn't find an answer regarding that online either.
