Hey MH, I read where you were asking for good Sour Diesel ideas.

I have been popping a few varieties...Barney's Raw Diesel, HSO's #2, two canadian
SD crosses (w/ Romulan and w/ Grapefruit), Cal Connections, and Reserva Privadas.

Thus far (this is not at all scientific) the best has been the RP variety.....not really close.

Good luck!

Thanks Java, good looking out.

Was looking at that one yesterday as a matter of fact. I'll have to grab a pack.

@Thundercat Hey tc, im new here and i just read your post on make qwiso u did back in 2013. Really great stuff i must say! ive been extracting couple months now trying to perfect the craft. i even grew 7 plant 2 years ago, was a great experience but didnt turn out very well. many things i could have done differently. hoping to try it again sometime soon under your supervision and advice. My question today is have you come across any new or more innovative method to making or perfecting qwiso since you made this post in 2013? and secondly, how do u vacuum purge after uve evapd and scraped? is there a homemade method to purge your yield after scrapping without bearing the expense of vacuum purge?? i live in jamaica and i dont think they have it here as yet

Thanks... Sean

Thanks for the kind words :). I pretty much still make it exactly the same as I did back then. I spent over a year getting my process to the point it was at in the tutorial. Since then its been working great so I havn't changed it.

I don't vac purge my alcohol extracts. Based on my research and my personal experiences I don't feel it's needed. Alcohol is totally different from butane extraction, and it doesn't bond to the oil the same way. I also don't use heat to evap the alcohol so that I can retain as many terpenes as possible. My extracts typically come out as a dry crystal. It never sizzles, pops, crakles or tastes like anything other then the material it came from so its clean enough for me IMHO.

i did my extraction this morning and it didnt turn out so bad :bigjoint:.20190326_125622.jpg silcone cup is roughly 3 grams. got almost a 1 gram from 7 grams of material

was concerned about a dry spot that formed from very early in(like 30mins in)Untitled.png and im not sure if thats a good thing or not so as u can see i scraped seperately and weighed it separately(dry spot in the parchment paper) 20190326_125636.jpg

You can try it, but it looks REALLY dark, I'm not sure it you washed it to long, or combined the washes but its really dark. try to dab some, see if it pops, sizzles, splatters or flares up. If not it should be fine. From how dark it is I would guess it probably won't taste great. QWISO is all about fast washes so they stay almost clear and you don't get green chlorophyll. The cleaner the wash the better it will dab and taste usually.

Yeah RSO isn't really made to be smoked, its designed to be eaten. I'm sure you can disolve that into butter or coconut oil and make edibles with it just fine. Most RSO has a lot of plant chloropyll in it which makes it harsh and not tasty. That along with cooking it down removes much of the terpenes, and your just left with concentrated cannabinoid sludge usually.

I'm making a batch Thursday. Im out of smoke atm, and its gonna be a few more weeks till harvest, but I had one kinda runt plant I'm gonna try to turn into oil. I'm sure it won't be the most amazing, but I bet its pretty decent. Its all buds, and they smell real nice so we will see.

lol I am in the same boat my last of frozen stash of sugar leaf.... and then I think until I get my next harvest I will just take 10 grams out of each bag I get and see what I can get for qwiso lol.... hopefully I should not have to deal with local BS weed prices for long ( and can find it lol damn non legal state)

Well pictures are taken, and the first harvest is cut from my room this year. It feels really good to have some plants down. I took down 2 of the Sin-D Snacks, and 6 platinum delights so far. I've still got one SS, and 6 more Platinums that really could use another 7-10 days if I can let them have it :). Times are real tight around here right now, so gotta squeeze out what I can as quick as possible at the moment.

I'll get the pictures uploaded and posted tomorrow probably. Its been a long day. The plants are looksing great. I definitely fought a P def this whole round from how cold its been. Its finally warming up though so I'm hoping thats over and done with.

Haha I'm back! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Between bicycle day, and 420 and Easter and then easter at grandmas house.......its been a crazy several days lol. But really nice.

Did a glass blowing demo for 420 that went great as usual, and had some of my Sin-D Snacks to burn so that was awesome!

Here are some pics for you guys of what the room is looking like these days. It hasn't changed a lot in the last few years, but its going to as soon as I can put the money together. I'm trying to make some moves. Its been to long just getting by.

Overview of the flower room. The outer edge has plants almost done, and the center is filled with new clones.


Platinum Delight lower nug right before I chopped it!


PD in all her glory. I had 12 of these, and chopped the 6 most mature. The rest are still going, but i had to crop some. They Have been under the HPS since the begining of January, but my temps were way too low this winter and it sloooooowed the transition down about 3 weeks. Then the beginning of flower progresses slow. Then they exploded once I got the temps worked out :).





THis is a mystery plant. I popped 2 seeds I had saved and labeled dank? This one is growing awesome, very frosty, beautiful shape, nice bud size and density, and very smelly.




This is a Sin-D Snacks that is still flowering.


This is the other mystery seed. Its crazy frosty, and has decent buds, but ZERO smell. It also seems to be finishing very fast.
