    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Yes, I remember. That was what I was telling the hydro guy and he thought I was a crazy person.

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    OK - I am going to go out on a limb and risk getting flamed, but I wanted to pass this on. I looked at that very same timer the other day at the hydro shop. It was the first time I had been in there in over a month. I had some first hand experience since the last time I was in there and a...

    Stealth 400 Watt Cooltube Dresser Cab Construction

    Can you mount a PVC elbow on the outside of the cabinet over each hole with a straight piece of PVC about 18" long connected to the elbow? Should keep light out without interfering with airflow too much. As far as cooling the cabinet, mount the exhaust at the top with two elbows and a long...

    The Lavatory Log - My First Grow Journal

    Finally remodeled (last week) and I am now posting an update. I fixed my water line with a simple valve on the end and a cheap RO filter. The drain tray is set up and drains into the septic hole just not that well. It likes to collect on the one end, but it works well enough to finish this...

    Cannabutter - Will This Work?

    Well, it worked well enough. I forgot to post and didn't remember until late last night and then didn't feel like it :hump::joint: The process works and I think the next batch I will do with the percolator. It's the quantity of weed is where I am missing the mark. I used 8 grams for a stick...

    SoG Grow Room Discussion

    Ya know, I was going to say something about the lights but wanted to keep my mouth shut - I am glad I did ;) I was just asking my guy at the hydro shop about cool tubes. He said he had one going and disliked it because it seemed to focus the light along the bottom of the tube and create hot...

    Cannabutter - Will This Work?

    I finished the butter last night and let it solidify overnight. Cookies baking right now. I will update in the next hour to report on effects - like Christmas morning all over again :)

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    unless you have a smart meter - you pay based on demand and can watch your electric use/cost in real time - I'm sure we'll have one before the end of the first Obama administration

    Sorry - I meant that as a compliment. Yes, big ROI on growing weed - like 6 months tops :)

    How To Make Cannabutter [W/ Pics]

    I am going to try this and update with the results, but I thought I would add a recipe. One problem I've found is that a lot of recipes/boxed bakes are 'healthy' and only call for a small amount of oil or butter. I found this one an old Dutch Amish cookbook.

    How To Make Cannabutter [W/ Pics]

    Would it work to use an old coffee percolator? As long as it percolates on simmer I could leave it on the stove all afternoon. It would avoid the straining step, but maybe not as effective?

    Taking clones?

    Dude - that is a HUGE closet.

    Cannabutter - Will This Work?

    gotcha - so adding water keeps the butter from burning and the temps too high - not sure what the difference in boiling point between butter and water, but OK. 8 to 12 hours - are you boiling for that long or just simmering in the crock pot?

    How long will a good strain last?

    I know what you're saying - you are talking generations. You took a clone from the first plant to make a second plant. You take a clone from the second plant to make a third plant and so on... If you are taking four cuttings a year you would be on generation 64. I did a quick search and...

    Cannabutter - Will This Work?

    Thanks for the help - let me follow up. I have heard of boiling the butter/herb in water before. The recipe I saw called for straining it afterwords. I thought by using a percolator and not adding water, I'd be able to skip the filtering and separation steps. I could just pour the melted...

    Alaska to sue over beluga whales

    OK - I am going to stick my neck out here. I am not anti-environmentalist, but I do consider myself a Libertarian/proponent of states' rights. Alaska is 1/4 the size of the continental US. It is mostly undeveloped. You can fly over an area the size of several New England states and not see...

    Cannabutter - Will This Work?

    I found an old stove top coffee percolator the other day. See the attached photo. I was thinking of using it to make canna butter. I was thinking I would look up a recipe. Say it calls for a stick of butter and a 1/3 cup oil. I would put the oil and butter in the bottom of the percolator...
