    Cannabutter disappointment

    Surprisingly no, not with oil. I don't get high with anyone's weed smoking it. I am not looking for sympathy though. For me infused oil is my preference anyway. One reason I take cannabis oil is if there is any tolerance, it is not not noticeable. So, as a medicine it works as well on the 1000th...

    Cannabutter disappointment

    I guarantee you there are people who do not get high or don't get high smoking but do fine with infused oil. That us true if every strain. It is an odd thing but some people are that way. People who smoke the weed I grow, that I have been growing for over 10 years get plenty high. Over time, I...

    Cannabutter disappointment

    You are completely wrong here. If the buds were no good, infused oil from the buds would not work either. I have been doing this along time. Friends come over, smoke my weed and rant and rave over how potent it is. There is nothing wrong with the weed.

    Adding Ingredients To Coconut Oil

    I am wondering if any of you folks add anything other than cannabis when making infused oil? There are other herbs and substances I take and it seem like it would work well to add them to infused oil and take them along with that. Do any of you folks do anything like that? As natural as all...

    Cannabutter disappointment

    I do know that some folks respond to cannabanoids more efficiently than others. Both my wife and I have to make super strong oil to get the same results someone else gets with something a lot weaker. I personally can smoke the stuff all day long and feel absolutely nothing from it. Another thing...

    Can we have a discussion in 2019 about how home growers should be processing?

    I will tell you what I do. We use a Magic Butter machine. It has been well worth the price. We use it for infused coconut oil but have not yet tried anything else. Before, we used to use a crock pot and have tried a number of other approaches. With the magic butter machine our result is at least...

    Decent Dry Herb Vape System Question

    Can anyone recommend a dry herb vaporizer that works? I have never tried one so they may all work. I am an infused oil guy. I never smoke. I am not against it. It is just that infused coconut oil has always served me well so that is what I do. I don't even know ho to role a joint. This doesn't...

    how can cannabis stop a voice in your head ?

    I started taking infused oil for insomnia 6 years ago. I did this knowing I already had a short term memory problem. Did my memory get even worse? Yes, for about 6 weeks. After that it started improving and is far better now than prior to starting with oil. I have discovered some amazing things...

    Autoimmune folks. Please share what you have learned

    What I find helps with Sjogren's is to take infused coconut oil and make sure it stays in your system constantly. My impression is that these kinds of things will improve but very slowly. I am not sure it makes any difference what strain is used. When doing a number of different things, it is...

    Anybody know the saturation point of coconut oil and or alcohol

    For making oil, we use an authentic magic butter machine. Our experience has been a far more potent product than what we used to get with a crock pot. I am also interested in knowing how much THC coconut oil will absorb. One thing I have done with the magic butter machine is make one batch of...

    Ph levels in my soil

    This is what I do and it seems to work for me. I start by mixing 5 parts of soil with 1 part sand and one part peat moss. The peat moss has a PH of 4. This brings the PH down to around 6.5. Then with nutrients and water that has neutral PH, it all works out to keep the soil between 6.5 and 7.

    Does your tent need both intake and exhaust?

    I don't use either. I make my own tents out of corning insulation panels with some air holes in the top. Then I just hang a box fan from the top and put it on low.

    Help with yellow leaves!

    I have had about the same thing happen when I let the grow room temperature drop to low. Once a plant gets in flowering, the chances of over watering are way reduced. In the past I have had leaves turn like that when the water has been too alkaline. Using more friendly water fixes the issue but...

    Expensive PH pen worth it?

    I bought a PH soil tester and a PH water tester on ebay for about $13 each with free shipping. I really didn't think these devices would work but they do. It is hard to measure soil with paper PH strips but they work fine in wager. There is no precision with the paper but they come pretty close...

    What strains were popular in the 60s and 70s?

    Hey, I was there. In the 60s hardly a soul knew what a strain was. It had seeds in it for the most part. Weed from Vietman as popular but nothing was ever said about a strain. People used whatever came across the border. Good weed was a matter of luck.

    1800 watt cob light

    I use Chinese LEDs and have gotten much better results than with T5 CFLs. It is pretty much in vogue to bash anything from China but some of their stuff is not bad at all. I expect, with that amount of space, you will be pleased with the results. Full spectrum for me has worked very well in...

    Latest on How to Lower PH?

    I have been growing for over 10 years and never have had issues with PH until now. What is the latest on lowering PH? The water I use is too alkaline. I have started mixing peat moss in the soil but the soil PH is still right at 7. I think I need to add something to the water. There is...

    Wondering what soil people use/ recommend using

    What I find about soil is that the brands are not consistent. I add sand and peat moss to a brand called Fafard and then add Fox Farm nutrients. Fafard has been pretty consistent. The reason I add peat moss is to bring the PH down. Lately Fafard has been a little to alkaline to start. I used to...
