I would go with a minimum of two and 3,4,or more would probably be better! Might as well get as much shit out as you can!
Yeah I agree. My thought of ignorance was maybe it filters too much out or something lol! Thanks chucky! I’m getting ready to start the process : ) going to use a few more pieces of cloth! ✌️

All thats deserved my friend : ) im still working on my coffee but here it goes! I’ve only ever had the ceiling r etched. It was the first thing i did in the shed insulation wise. It makes every bit of difference in keeping the heat out and the cool in! From what I’ve noticed though is there are thresholds of optimal temps! Like between a certain outside temp the inside room was perfect, so that told me the insulation isn’t 100% but way better than nothing. Hope thats a little bit better explanation lol. Still not the greatest. Just didnt want you to think I was giving you a “i dont care response” HAHAHAHAHA! I was just really really high! 😆✌️
I don’t know how I missed this half a week ago. Oh yeah, I was pretty high too. 🤩

As I'm sitting here 🤤, congratulations to your, almost finished. iso run Bear!!! Looks Awesome so far!!!

Never tried to make any concentrate.....I'd love to refill vapes with my own shit that's shit....

Maybe I should look into something higher than 91% iso.....Thank You for posting...
Thank you Bilber! Im hoping it turns out decent! Im finishing the coffee filter process right now and then into the Pyrex dish and out onto the back deck with mesh screen over with the fan blowing on it! : ) from there im planning on doing a little heating to it to purge any trapped iso.

Hey i was reading you can use 91%. You might check with someone who knows what they’re talking about but I think it’s only because it’s got water in it and it takes longer to evaporate off? Make sure though! : ) and about the vape carts, thats very doable! There’s a us based company that makes all the stuff for that! And check out yocan! 🤤😳 dude! kid in a candy store! 😆 i blame JJ LOL!

I forgot to update the flower room status with all this qwiso action going on! Hahah! ITS FLIPPED! Damn thangs are in the dark for 12! Loaded with sweet candy and some pk booster! Last watering they got cal-mag. Lights get turned up a tad every other’ish day : ) AC is FREAKING AWESOME! It’s beyond quiet, cools waaayyy quicker than the old one and this one actually shuts off for a good while in between cycles, having the outside temp not too hot helps, as i can use the 6” intake (outside air to flower room). And as im typing this i realized i didnt turn the veg to flower room fan for heat exchange so ill be heading out there in a sec : )

Alright here I am in the correct spot of the forum for posting a dairy (Thank you to the helpful members). !DISCLAIMER! I ramble at times and am easily distracted! And if I ever read as if I’m high as shit, I more than likely am. With that said Ill try and keep this thread on track and as intelligent as I can HAHAHA!

So as my intro on the other thread stated, I’m not completely new to growing but very new to solo indoor runs. The strains I have chose to go with are XX and Raskals OG non fem photoperiod. They are currently soaking, and will do so for about another 5 hours at which point ill get them in their paper towel germination station (grow container for pods with the plastic top and the pod organizer removed on a heat mat). From there the seedlings will be going into Fox farms Light Warrior with a blend of worm castings ONLY, i may or may not add some perlite to the entire mix to make it “lighter”.

Onto the “growing space”. I have 12x12ish prebuilt type shed that im making a 6x8 grow space within. it’ll make more sense if you read on and once I get it finished along with pics! Im using foam board insulation and 2x3s for reinforcements of the false walls and (germ room!) I know! ill get it finished in the next few days and post the pics. My lighting situation is less than ideal at the moment I have 12 4ft 42watt led full spectrum white light that i use for all my veggie start on a rack. I took that all apart and made my own rail to attach them all together as ”one light”. Im hoping to be able to get something more powerful in the future but at the moment that’s all im able to come up with, I’m confident it will get the plants to where they need to be by the time theyll require a “real” grow light. If that doesnt happen ill flower out with what i got.

The soil im using will be organic soil ill mix myself from the local worm/soil place. I honestly forgot the name of nutes im going to use (theres a whole regiment of them from start to finish), along with some added things along the way in the form of fish poop water and meals and guanos. Ill get a very detailed list of all of that as i acquire them and apply them.

as a finish to the diary intro I know its a little pipe dreamy, I have faith and have always been a half glass full type of person with a heavy dose of plan for the worst and hope for the best mentality even if the odds are stacked against me, so with that said I am also a very realistic person and can and will recognize a futile situation. Im very open to suggestions and input and any questions! thanks for reading!
Got my own wedding crashers bag seed budget grow going on my 2nd grow. Well technically 3rd but I don't like to count those clones that time dude gave me for I wasn't prepared for them and I think they were sick already. Anyway as you can see here in this comment I can ramble on myself sometimes and am definitely higher than giraffe balls if I'm rambling like right now. Good to see someone else I can check in on doing something possibly similar as in budgeting on the grow etc. Have a rad one dude and remember to grow them far and wide!🤙🏻

Here’s a pic from this morning. Evaporated a lot of the iso off but there is this lighter color “wax” looking substance. Wondering if thats due to rolling it for two long and it being a really old bud? Either way i got my little silicone set coming this afternoon and ill get some heat on the wash to evaporate all the iso out of and off the left over resin : )

So far it’s been a great project. Highly recommend anyone give it a shot if you can swing it.

And up from the ground come a bubbling crude! Good job, Jed!😆🐒 And I think that stuff is something like waxy lipids that get extracted from the plant material! Might be a sign of shaking it too long! I don’t know that much about it! But I think you can remove it if you want by a process called winterization! You have to look that one up!😁 that might be getting into the two complicated realm!

I heard GNick say if you shake it too crazy you can get that “wax and lipids” and shit from the plant. Im wondering if i only need to slow roll the jar for a minute? Guess this is where I start taking notes and adjusting things as needed. Im still going to smoke the shit out of that though! 🤣

thanks chucky! ✌️

So do i mix all that together to do the final evap with heat or do i try and keep that stuff out of the darker crude lookin stuff?
