I've got these pics from earlier today though. That Herculean Harvest is no joke. These are the best looking buds I've grown so far, and this is an autoflower that's gone through light burn as a sprout and prolongued stunting well into early flower because of my neglect and noobishness. She's only 10 inches tall and a foot around but she's the plant I'm most proud of so far.
Beautiful man.

Btw, it's the best way to do it if you make tinctures like I do. The tinctures feel a lot closer to how the strain you use feels when it's smoked/vaped because you save a lot of the terps.
Everclear? This method leaves the magic butter and Levo in the dust. Nice looking buds man!

After you decarb do you use the instant pot for the infusion too? Do you seal up the jar then too? How long?

It doesn't smell that bad. Cook a pot roast or something at the same time if you're worried about the smell. I make it with chicken and beef bones I use for making Pho. The beef bones can be hard to grind up but the chicken bones end up nice and crispy to where you can crush them with your fingers. I don't roast them until they're black or anything. They just need to be roasted and dry. I make my own meals these days as I don't like to waste anything. It doesn't take much work at all. No need to buy something you already have. I save all my eggshells as well. I also make my own tofu so I dry the okara that's left over which is basically soybean meal and a good source of nitrogen.

Thank you!
And yeah, I use Everclear or Spiritus, whichever I find cheaper since they're both the same thing.
Also it doesn't take a lot of Everclear to extract
So after decarb, I let the jar and it's contents naturally cool down to room temp before opening it, and sometimes I even put it in the fridge after it's cooled down to room temp just to make sure any volatile terps condense out of the airspace (might be pointless but there are terps that evaporate around 80F and I'm paranoid like that). Then I add in the Everclear, seal it up, and let it steep for a week or two, swirling it every now and then.
I definitely don't put the jar in the intant pot with any Everclear in it because I'm afraid it might go Molotov. Don't know if it really will, but I'd rather err on the safe side.

Also, I took notes for the last decarb I did (it was during the summer), and after checking them it looks like I let the bud pressure cook for 40 minutes, not twenty. Can't remember why... But that extract came out good... Good enough to make me forget this shit.

Sweet! Guess I'll give it a shot then. How long do you usually end up keeping them in the oven/frying pan?
So I make my own yogurt sometimes, and homemade yogurt separates a lot of whey. How do you feel about whey as an addition to a fertilizer program?

I don't know anything about using whey.

Hey so the WSCa and WSCaPo, do you use them interchangeably or do you have specific uses for each of them?
