Sup lady. I made a little person while you were away.Peekaboo... lol hey people! View attachment 4392312
Hope everyone had a great summer! My babies starting school next Monday and I’m a wreak lol not only can I grow amazing little people but I’ve brushed up on my growing skills because it’s fucking legal here!!! Don’t worry it’s double locked behind 2 doors in the basement which my girls can’t access!!! No idea what I’m growing but it smells like a skunk rolled around in diesel fuelView attachment 4392315View attachment 4392318

Puts me in mind of the early films of testing the A-4 (weaponized as the V-2). For some real excitement, supplement with a few tons of liquid oxygen. Hitler drily told Wernher that he’d perfected a devastating short-range weapon.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you want to decarboxylate, I refer you to the charts @raratt posted a page ago.
You’ll need more than 100F ... that’s the local weather lol.
100F will extract the goodies just fine into oil. But you need a time-at-temperature step for decarb. The charts tell the tale. With pure extract and no solvent (about 90% thca to THC) my experience is that 10 minutes in a flask (magnetic stirring, flask in 115 C oil bath) did a full clean conversion, verified by thin-layer chromatography.

Oh yes!
I'm reminded of the German engineer who is reported to have commented to a bar owner that "I have burned more alcohol in sixty seconds than this establishment has served in its lifetime." Warm: check; fuzzy: also check
I never played with liquid oxygen. Probably explains why I still possess all 21 extremities (tho' I damaged No. 21 in a bicycle collision).

Oh I'm pretty sure I can arrange a Boom even without obvious ignition sources. I'm talented that way. My former thesis advisor is painfully aware of that ...

To get an alcohol solution to a decarb temp, you'll need to secure it against, and then heat it to, 5 atm (60 psig, rising some as carbon dioxide contributes).
This isn't hard using basic plumbing fixtures. I've attempted some liquefied-gas extractions at 60-130 psig using some pretty ugly home-improvised pressure cells made of galvanized odds&ends plus an eBay pressure gauge.

I was going to use the cooker to evaporate the alcohol after doing a QWET extraction with decarbed buds to get "shatter" I guess it's called.

Planted some cuttings with "bae", as they call it. Was nice to do something together other than clean while the kids are at school lol.
Of course I got stuck with the cleanup. Cleaned up pretty nice though. Like new. Gonna fill er up with Gelato again.

Fresno gets as hot as Paso Robles, what do you do to cool down your cloner water? I can't use mine in summer

Been so busy with my music biz lately, it's going better and faster than I thought it would. I met a couple of big promoters while busking, and they have been hiring me for some pretty big profile events. I was falling behind on my grow, weeks behind. I've been playing catch up with my plants and getting little sleep in the process. I've also been on a quest to reclaim some former MJ clients, I lost so many so quickly simply because prices have been dropping like a rock here since legal rec weed is coming in a few months. I went from $350 per oz. last year to $300, then $280. I recently dropped it to $240 after hearing that @Gary Goodson had to drop to $250 in an illegal state. The $240 seems to be the sweet spot now, and I've regained most of the clients that had left. Of course, I have to deliver, too, which really sux for a recluse like me. But, since I grow about 20 ozs per month, it's still a decent living that allows me to pursue my other interests without getting a (gasp!) real job. I had almost a 3 pound surplus sitting around, and now it's down to, you guessed it, about a pound. Life is busier than it's been in years, and it makes me feel alive. And with my kid having turned 18 and living out of state now, and my child support ending, I have a LOT more time, energy, and money for myself. I feel a glorious mid-life crisis is just around the bend. Go, Tyler!!!

Nothing lol. I have them in an air conditioned room set at 72 degrees. When it's upper 90s-100 outside its 77-82 in the room. I was getting stringy spaghetti roots at first using only 1:1 RO water and 8.6ph 430ppm tap water and changing water every 3-4 days. Then I started using tap water, silica, enzymes, and KLN rooting solution. Roots with this mix came out beefy, strong, super white, and more of them. More lateral branching on the roots too. I think the key to not getting the slime is changing the res every 3-4 days. When I change out the res I can feel a slight slime/film already. I rinse the res, pump, and manifold with hot ass water and wipe it all down with a paper towel before adding the fresh solution.
This is like 10 days in the closet. Basil, mint, and a habenero,
