I used 5 grams. I’ll let you know the results tomorrow.

Not that it’s a big deal, but next time you might try putting a towel in the pot before you fill it with water. Then put the jar on the towel.

The metal can directly transfer heat to the jar, raising the temp inside the jar above 212f. It really doesn’t matter though since the jar isn’t gonna get up to 340f, but it helps control the temperature a little better, an prevents any accidents, like the jar tipping over if it boils too vigorously.

Your avi looks like it's ready to punch somebody, and who did Danny's hair?
It’s a funny video of Danny auditioning for Princess Leia. Link is one page back at the top.

Is there any problem putting a face cloth in there now? It’s only been boiling for 15 minutes

No, go ahead!

The cloth is just to prevent too much heat transfer. Just make sure it’s flat against the bottom of the pan or it WILL make your jar tip. Just easier to put it on the bottom of the pan flat when you’re not sticking your hands in boiling water...lol

A folded paper towel would work too. Anything to prevent the jar from touching the metal directly. But it’s really not a big deal, and won’t make much of a difference, especially if you don’t plan on walking away from it for any extended period of time.

Okay I’m not leaving it so I’m going skip risking a burn. Next time I’ll do this first. Thanks for the tip.

(DISCLAIMER: Please forgive my ignorance. :dunce:)

So the second batch of oil dilutes, or "pushes out" the strong stuff from the material/cheese cloth?
Therefore the quantity of oil lost will still be the same, but it will be almost pure oil w/few cannabinoids.
Right? :roll:
Yes; that's the basic idea. The oil will hang up, so might as well have a lower "octane number" in the lost portion.

Think of it as a chaser ...

Played with some bamboo and pretty much have the process down.
If I wanted to get fancy, I'd throw some trellis netting over it.
Portable scrog?
Hmm...

Only need 1 long thin strip of gorilla tape + 1 cable tie per corner.

I call it the Grip & Squeeze™. 8-)
Thanks for the idea, I may have to do something like that with my potted girls. The twine around the outside just isn't cutting it.

I just made a big ol sloppy hamburger last night and fries.

View attachment 4391641 Spent all of yesterday afternoon and night wondering if the nearby fire was gonna get me. Was still glowing at 2am. It was out by the time i needed to leave at 6am.
Got one! Super slow still on the feather and sac but was worth casting 1000 times
Small 12lb hen. Better than nothing. Had a fun time.
Good to see a nice silver one in the river instead of a swimming dead fish. Good job!
