Some people leave the smaller bud leaves on the flowers to protect the trichomes from getting knocked off while the flowers are handled. That is why I like fresh trim. Less handling = more trichs 
Digital thermometer was a gift from my kids. I would try Grainger or Google. The metal strainer you can get in any cooking section of a store like Kohls or even the supermarket. They are great for making the water half of a roux based sauce.
I still use the coconut oil - it smells amazing. I use it for skin cancer. First time I tried it, the spot dried up and crumbled away, leaving nice smooth healthy skin. No burning, cutting, or freezing required. The oil is also good in coffee and soon in brownies I hope!
After I heat it for 3 hours, I strain it and then use unbleached paper coffee filters to filter out any small bits. The filtering takes a good while so I put the unfiltered and filtering oil in the oven at 170 to keep it at temperature while it sits. I don't time this, I just keep going until the filters are drained and all of the oil is clean.
I think the yellowing on the SOG is a burn of some kind. I gave all of my plants a feeding and it was too strong for such young plants. Fried the really small ones and gave me burnt tips and leaf coloration of different degrees on the more mature plants. Not sure what happened. The funny thing is that the little plants in the trash pile didn't get phased by the feeding. I moved that big pot to the north garden yesterday. During that process I had to let go of the dolly to get the pot securely on the deck and the dolly handle rode down my leg and left a nice long gouge in my skin from a screw.
I keep my males inside to collect pollen usually. This way the bees and wind wont carry the pollen to another grower's yard and give them some unwanted surprises.
Cheers,
Mo
