Agreed, sir. I still like the combustion ritual from time to time, but in terms of vaping flower, the NewVape FlowerPot is the endgame!

Smoke reports and vape reports can be very different things.
I'd love your take on it, do you run at a single temp or do you adjust for the occasion? Can't seem to get the KO effect I'm looking for at night consistently. I think I need a piece with a bit more diffusion to really enjoy it.


How long did your Portable Space Ship flower? I'm wondering if there are Laos dominant pheno's.
Going to flip in the next week or so. I need to take a closer look, but they seem to be pretty uniform. Not knowledgable enough to say "oh yeah, that's definitely the pure kush dominating" from peeking at the leaves quite yet.

I leave mine on 640°F and adjust my draw speed to suit different vars (that's with the V-Rod head). There's so many variables however, including glass piece, draw style, cure etc.
That nighttime KO effect is a tricky one with vapes IMO, and the reason I still burn a joint occasionally. A deep and thorough extraction is key to releasing the sedative, high-temp compounds. It's also imperative to make sure the plant is properly ripe before harvest with a good percentage of amber trichs. Overcooked by most standards. I've been on the hunt for particularly sedative and narcotic strains for this purpose... and to bring it back on topic, the next place I'm looking is Bodhi's DLA#4.

Can I ask for input please? An elderly friend wants to know the best(or good) strain for his restless leg syndrome and as a sleep aid combo. He would prefer to make edibles with it, if that helps.
Thanks everyone.
Though i dont have a specific strain to offer for RLS, I have found Bubba to make me totally numb from the neck down. Maybe a Bubba or SSDD hybrid that helps w nerve pain and maybe also RLS?

i also have had RLS and found a Psychology Today article reinforcing the medical benefit of cannabis in RLS (in reducing the release of Dopamine). i hope it offers some useful info:

OVERVIEW:
"Recent studies have shown that chronic cannabis use is associated with reduced dopamine synthesis capacity. Thus, the efficacy of cannabis in patients with Restless Leg Syndrome may be due to its ability to prevent the excessive release of dopamine and restore normal neural activity....

I'm appreciate that. Thanks. They're early-mid 70's and only used grass a few times durring Vietnam, but not once home. He tried some about 3 months ago from a store, but doesn't want to spend $80 a 1/4 for bag after bag until he finds something that'll work. He laughed and said, "At one puff a day before bed, I could sample strains the rest of my life and not find 'the one'."

My wife has RLS (pretty extreme at times).

We’ve found it’s more effective to use edibles for relief - seems to help her much better. One small cookie 30 minutes before bed seems to do the trick.

We stick to a simple cookie recipe. Feel free to pm me regarding butter technique/cookie recipe, if ya like.

Does your wife have a prefered strain for her butter/edibles?
Edit: It'd be great if it were a Bodhi strain, but I just want to help him however I can.

Im sure by now anyone that has grown a lot of good genetics and tried a little breeding for themselves towards their own personal tastes has realized that while there are many various genetic pathways available to us we are really going around in circles in terms of taste/effect.

You will find ballpark effects and terpene profiles that are similar across a fairly wide range of plants, simple descriptors are good ways to generally differentiate what you are going to experience. I realize that Buffalo is probably servicing a dispensary type market and unfortunately many people are affected by marketing and hype. We all here know (probably) that names don’t mean anything in reality. We are experiencing the unfortunate side effect of the name game and hype marketing and probably saturated local markets.

Good weed is good and mids are mids. If that’s how you are making your living you’ll have to do what you need to to separate yourself from the pack or hype your cut, I too would recommend some form of general but clear Sub name such as “Pinesol” cut or possibly a simple archetypical system such as Kevin Jodrey talks about with fruit,earth,gas, etc. I think it’s probably confusing for the average smoker who enjoys ganja a lot but isn’t as nerdy as we are about all this and the name game is throwing them for a loop and they just connect with name branding which is unfortunate but anything in the open market is subject to that I guess. We are probably past the era of OG or cookie or skunk Etc where chemotypes rise to the mainstream public Consciousness after battling it out at the street level and proving their worth in real life terms of direct sales. Now it’s self professed hype and It’s probably hard to navigate to legit quality for young smokers or newbies. Educating dispensaries or the bud tenders working on the front lines and getting them to understand why it’s sweet is probably the call but I don’t know too much about that scene.

I know a lot of people think they understand herb but just blow out their receptors and their ability to ascertain nuance and subtlety in effect. Most of my chronic friends are like this and it’s hard to get them to understand, I think it’s why gassy strains are so popular amongst veteran long time smokers because it will push through tolerance better than fruity strains and I do find Bodhi strains to be more spiritual/vibe driven rather than narcotic. I think a lot of retail/streetsmokers have also dabbled in other drugs and that probably effects their ability to enjoy a more subtle beautiful effect that some of these plants offer.
Hell yeah to this

That’s the lovely part of edibles; anything will work. So long as you make the butter properly, even the worst smoking flower makes incredibly effective edibles.

The process of making high quality butter seems to make more of a difference in the end result than picking the perfect strain.

Not enough time for me to post my butter recipe, right now, but I’ll post it tomorrow or Christmas Day.

To directly answer the Bodhi part of your question, I’d try a few more broad categories or different gear and then fine-tune the needs of each individual from that point... ie: make one batch of something with an SSDD or HP leaning plant to check the reaction to a sedative strain, make another batch that leans toward a more cerebral effect, and lastly, make a mixed batch.

Wife and I are currently eating a mixed batch that I made with a mix of ghee butter and regular butter... it’s the best batch we’ve ever had and it’s using half the material.

Recipe to come as soon as I have time to break out laptop... I’ll get it posted on Christmas, if I don’t have time sooner.

Does anyone know what the strawberry milk leans to in crosses? guessing its a somewhat sativa leaner from what little info i could dig up
My one pheno (strawberry milk f2) leaning sativa no doubt. Not that this is a ton of help. @AdvancedBuffalo I THINK has hunted more extensively than me. Maybe he will chime in here. He knows how to keep a plant happy in his system as well so I would take his word on quality of flower as well over a less experienced grower. Also has done some Decent pheno hunts as well.

FYI, mine has not but I hear there is alot of hermies in these beans so if you run them make sure your environment is in order etc. Just my 2 cents going of what others I respect here have told me. Dec 30th ill be a full 8 weeks in and not a single bannana yet. I just got done going over the flower.

Unrelated but here is a LOW lower I forgot to lollipop off one of my dla 10.

Also as a big inkognytogenetics fan, this pheno of taco taco is stunning and I can't get a picture that will truly show how great it looks. Also have some of his lemon diesel dog that also look fantastic! Here is a lower shot of the taco taco.

Not yet, will be done at 8-9 weeks im guessing without scoping it. Lots of yellow/purple fading leaves, hairs receding etc. Hope its killer, looks good!

Being the first run in the new 4x8 bed my soil is in the building process so I may throw the cuts i took in again for a 2nd run. Looks to be a good yielder, good and dense as well.
Smells similar to the peach hashplant I ran if I could compare to another strain I've run as of late. Both phenos i have are similar in all ways. Topped once. Standing about 3-3.5ft as of now.

Happy growing!

That makes me a little nervous with these Dazzleberry's....i'll keep a good eye on them - they're still in week 1 of flower.....they're a little on the shorter and bushy side for my liking but we'll see what happens in the next 2 weeks....they're also right next to a Solo's stash which is a big stretchy plant and everything else im running (ogre kush, gelato mochi, phone home) is on the stretchy side (i like stretchy just not too stretchy) i didn't even bother running one of the Dazzleberrys because it was way too short and bushy - the other 2 aren't too bad

did anybody run strawberry goji here?
