    Review of OilXGreen THC Extraction System

    The funny thing is... @Bublonichronic, the accounts arguing in favor all sound the same... They aren't even trying to disguise their writing, so it's like you have the company account trying to play off being professional and you have these other accounts, probably all one person, who are...

    Review of OilXGreen THC Extraction System

    Dude, that takes time and effort... With their current setup all they have to actually to do is coil some "super spendy" 316 stainless "mega" tubing around a jig. We all know how tricky coiling can be, I mean it...takes elbow grease and shit...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    @OPfarmer, Only a day? You haven't lived until it's been like 3 or 4 days!!! Just kidding, a 3 day trip is not a fun "ride"... Sorry to hear about your liver, I hope you are still at a point where the tissue can rebuild.

    Knowing How To Dry The Plant

    @Thundercat, I have never tried making an extract with fresh flowers, I have always been worried that the extra water would effect the decarbing process or make the extraction process longer than it needs to be, due to all the extra water that would have to evaporate off. I suppose if I didn't...

    Knowing How To Dry The Plant

    @cock roach, it all comes down to how you intend to use it. If you are smoking it, then you have your answer from the people who have already posted. But, if you are going to extract it, in my experience humidity only matters if there is money involved. Because higher humidity (to a point) can...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    @ANC, For me it's not about "maximum yield", it's about knowing the yield. I am fine with using VG, or MCT, I just want to know how much cannabis oil is in the VG, that's all... I am not a fan of surprises. So, I would be more apt to extracting the oil, then adding a given quantity to some VG...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    @ANC, Do you have any references about how well VG extracts? Good tip on the Kosher VG, thanks. However the Kosher version doesn't necessarily stop the use of glyphosate. Farmers use it as a descant, which is sprayed on the soybeans pre-harvest, to help the plants dry faster in the fields...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    Kind of like how MCT is used. Though there seems to be some back and forth about the safety of vaping MCT oil and it's effect on the lungs. Though if you're not vaping it, I suppose it's totally fine. My only issue with the vegetable glycerine is that it is probably made from GMO soy, which is...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    I have always had a sweet spot for organic chemistry (and microbiology) myself. There is something special about looking through a microscope, to me it's kind of like looking up at the stars, it puts a lot things into perspective and makes one realize just how insignificant we really are in the...

    Minimum Alcohol % Needed to Dissolve Cannabinoids

    I wish your son the best, I truly do! In a lot of fields these days a PhD actually hurts you... I knew a lady who worked very hard to get her PhD (civil engineering) and it actually made her ineligible for jobs because companies were unwilling to pay her what she was worth. Most cities civil...

    Hydroton, Baking to Sterilize?

    @Bernie420, Please don't be defensive. I just trying to help. If you look up the bacteria listed in the Raw Microbes Bloom they are perfect for soil, but they will not do anything for you in hydro... It's the trichoderma in the product that you are benefiting from.

    Exactly, we owe people like @cannabineer's father a debt of gratitude.

    So, he was pioneer... He laid real cable and had a real tool belt! Unlike the "plug and play" "tech" that is considered "engineering" today... The guys today just need a pair of scissors to open the packages of pre-metered...everything... I love when I hear current engineers bitch about how...

    Hydroton, Baking to Sterilize?

    @Bernie420, Also, unless you are using something like Dutch Buckets, where the roots aren't always submerged, then the trichoderma has a very short effective period in hydro. Normally in soil it's only like 12 weeks, but in hydro I would assume it is much less. I haven't done much research on...

    Hydroton, Baking to Sterilize?

    @Bernie420, The only thing in that product that is useful to you is the trichoderma. Unless you also have soil grows as well. The other bacteria are useless in hydro or media. They aren't saying how much is in there either... To be honest companies that sell isolated trichoderma usually only...

    Your dad sounds like a smart man. Don't get V1.0, let everyone else figure out the bugs... What field is your dad in? The thing about old Toyotas and Honda's was that they were built like little tanks and ran forever... Now if you change the oil yourself you void your warranty.. The voice...

    help me identify the defiency

    That's not a deficiency... That's insect damage, most likely mites but it could also be thrips. Check the glass around your light for poops, if there are tiny specks of poop on the glass, it's probably thrips. If you cannot see the insects, it's probably mites. Put a pieces of paper under a...
