  1. Those GS-1 Growstones behind your fans are great to work with too. I use it as aggregate in my living soil
    I used there product called Gant nix or something for a bug barrier , wasn’t a fan , slowed my wet dry cycling.
    But I plan on running pretty much straight grow stones. Plan is clone in wool, then 50/50 grow stones n rockwool croutons in 1g pots for most of veg , then 5g for flowering with just stones , watering will be done with flora flex matrix tops .
    I want to rinse n clean the stones for reuse. The amount of promix I’ve gone through in the last couple years is crazy . Sick of dealing with it. I hope they work out cause I’ve been buying a couple bags every time I go to the city so I have a surplus.

BHB,the pic I posted has a blow out too,bottom edge. I went a lil too fast on the press.

What psi are you pressing at? I use the rosin evolution bags.
PSI hahahha
Fuck that.... tons baby !

No in all seriousness, I know that’s my biggest down fall right now , i bought a 30t press , pretty much guessing, but staying under 2000psi on 1st press , usually creep up to 1t n slowly keep adding till I think it’s good , n haven’t put a good gauge on yet .
It’s on the list , but with the month I’ve been having , it’s pretty low.
My ac is fix, n been running for a couple days , no plants in there.
Probably should figure that out soon.

The juice is doing her thing. I'm digging the first girl so far. Frosty and developing a strong orange/lemon starburst smell. I have a clone vegging and it looks like she'll get a second run. I had 1 more in flower but he was a male so I chopped him today. He was too slow of a veg so I didn't want to use the pollen.

Agreed.I'd just decarb my concentrate and mix it in the peanut butter.It should infuse easily.BHB is right on with this one.Runny mess for sure.
Like in the link posted tho, the benifit I'm looking at with the oil is for metabolism. I finished making it last night and would have posted an update if it weren't for the licks of the thermometer and fork used for stirring. Ok, it was a fork full at the end as I was stirring to keep blended while it set up.

In addition to keeping it in the fridge like @evergreengardener suggests, using an ice water bath to cool the mixture when done, stirring constantly at first then taking breaks as it gets thick.

Tips/reminders - be sure to make lecithin mixture well in advance although mine said best by Sept 2017 I still used it, new liquid Sunflower lecithin will be used next time. It takes a while for it to disolve, I used 1 Tbsp water per tsp lecithin.

Oven temp will screw you on decarb, the "keep warm" setting on mine is the best way to keep it at 240. My oven even varies if you turn it off then back on to the same temp setting, there's no guarantee it goes back to the same temperature as before - get a thermometer for the oven.

Batch recipie
8.2g 25 micron bag hash (7.5g after decarb)
3 Tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp lecithin granuals in 2 Tbsp water
1/2 cup peanut butter (the cheap stuff with the substituted hydrogenated oils)

Decarbed 50 minutes @ 240F (temp got a little low on me so I extended the time)

Remove from oven let cool to room temp.

While cooling melt coconut oil and bring to 160F. I put a jar in a shallow saucepan of water and my stove top has an extra low setting that automatically will keep that low temp so I don't have to have a traditional double boiler.

Once cool, open decarb jar, add oil, place decarb jar in saucpan/double boiler and ensure mixture completely disolved/emulsified keeping <170F.

Add lecithin mix while maintaining temp.

Add peanut butter while maintaining temp.

Remove from heat when well mixed, keep stirring until you are comfortable you won't crack the jar when you put it in the ice bath. Keep stirring and tasting until done.

Thanks for all the help getting this made folks!

P.s. I'm the only one eating these otherwise I wouldn't lick the utinsils.

I've used it at 100% in DWC and it's great and aeration is fantastic since it's so porous. No problems with gnats since it's recycled glass beverage bottles. ;-)

Personally I couldn't source pumice for the soil recipe Gas recommended so I used it as an aggregate in a peat/compost/pumice soil mix. It works great and doesn't break down. I'm not sure how the earthworms like it though.

You're talking about the gnat nix? I have come close to throwing out a full bag many times.

Does it get soaked or hold too much water for seedlings in a dtw? Interesting

There's a cat named TheCapn that uses those croutons to grow some monster beauties.

Speaking of the Captain, has anyone heard from Getaway mountain lately? It seems like a while since I've seen him on here.

I know that some of the New England area folks in the outdoor section had a ton of issues with getaway strains last year, Lots of mold, not living up to flowering times etc. He might be laying low. All just conjecture.

I was going to try some of his stuff this year, but the posts in that section convinced me that I couldn't do any worse with my own chucks.

Bounty hunter f2, she's taken on quite a bit of the musky body odor smell, which in my opinion is one of the better smells the GPS stardawg expresses. There is some other more complex smells present as well.

Also (papayahuasca x cackleberry) x bounty hunter finishing up soon.
