I've never had decent edibles. I've made my own. Even just made chocolate, without heating the herb up. And I didn't feel anything. I never have. I know I can't guarantee all the stuff I didn't make. But I thought the last stuff I made would have done it. But nothing. I was disappointed.

Did you decarboxylate the herb before using it in whatever you were cooking? It's that step that makes it psychoactive Pigeons. I've a habit of even decarbing what I plan to smoke. It seems to hit faster and deeper.

225 degrees F for 30 minutes. That's all it takes. You can eat it like candy if you want and you'll get higher than you expected and stay high longer than you anticipated.
 
Hahaha. Same here. My first batch i dont even remember what I put in. I baked my cookies and ate two. I didnt feel anything after 30-45 mins so I ate another one!!!! Let me tell ya.... At the 1 hour mark. My face started getting numb and i said oh this feels good... so it takes 3 of these cookies? I have to make them stronger next time...... at the 1.5 hour - 2 hour mark... it was hard to move much and all train of thought was gone... at the 2.5 hour mark i couldnt get off the couch. I tried.... and tried.... at 3 hour mark I finally got up and was going to bed (the high was getting to much lol...) at this time i realized i had ate wayyyy to much. I was "warping" around the house. I would be in one room and then the next without any knowledge of walking there. I finally told myself ok its time to lay down. When i went to lay down I couldn't deviate temperature on my body... Hot or cold. I laid in bed and I couldnt tell if I was laying down or not. I couldn't feel my body laying on the bed LOL... This went on for about another hour before I really laid down and went to sleep. Like i said... edibles will take people to places a lot don't want to go if you eat to many. It was fun, just a little to much and out my comfort zone. I stick to around 7-8 grams per 10 serving batches now... Its about perfect for me and friends. P.S. those first edibles, You could only eat a half of one and be stonnnnnned for 3-5 hours. I ate 3 whole ones LOL. I wonder how many mg of THC i ate that night... =)

Hunter, I'm still laughing with you over this. That first brownie I was so high I sat behind Dale in the nursing home while we watched TV (well, he watched - I tried not to die LOL!) because I was soooooo far gone that I was afraid to move and I didn't want him to think I was a lightweight! LOL!!!

I particularly liked the "warping" between the rooms. :rofl:

Ahhhhh, Thank you for that wonderful laugh. :Love:
 
ok today picked up a thermometer/rh and with lights on temp is 88 and rh is 35% gonna add a couple of gal pails of water under the lights to see if i can bring up th rh what is the point i am shooting for on temp and rh? Fixed the 6 in 160cfm fan i thought i had burned the motor on. took the wires apart today found out i had a piece of ducting touching a bare wire ( never said i was a electricly inclined)Nothing else happening in the room today. I decided to give up on the seeds that went 15 days and never germinated. Contacted seed bank about a refund or credit 3 out 5 so far have not done anything ( could it be operator error? ) I seem to be doing so well with the others hmmmmmm.... I mixed the coco back with the perlite but went with less perlite and kept some coco back with no perlite to do seeds in. My opinion perlite is not good for seeds floats to top of coco blocks seeds from popping.

I'm glad you got a refund on some of the seeds Bear. It's such a risk when seeds are so dear. I'm also relieved that your fan survived.

I shoot for a temp variation between 73-85 degrees and the humidity at around 50-60% during veg and around 40% during flowering. Your upper temps of 88 are too high. Do your best to get them down. Wet towels hung in the space will bring humidity up faster and keep it more consistent than pans of water will. Those pans of water don't evaporate quite as efficiently as you would expect.

I can't help you at all with your medium concerns. I work in living soils. The others will be more helpful on this matter.

Pammy is growing nicely. Is it your camera or lighting that gives your plants that washed out color? I like to see richer color in mine, but I know often photos don't translate the colors the way we'd like.
 
I find a 50.50 mix to much perlite for seeding how do I figure a 70/30 mix?

Down and dirty: One scoop/bucket (of any size) perlite, then two of the same scoops/buckets of coco. That will give you 2/3 to 1/3 = 67/33. Add a tiny bit more coco if you want to try and hit 70/30.

Did you find your answer about taking/cloning cuttings?
 
no pita i didnt on the cloning and sue I will get a bigger exhaust when funds come in i know my 160 cfm is " whimpy for exhaust but her sister damn sure moves that ac into the room. The color of the pics is my cheap trac fone camera

thank you for that mixture was exactly what i ended up doing
 
ty sue forgot the decarb part. damn I love this 600w hps plug it in set timer forget it
 
I don't know what information you need. I'm not an expert but have had good luck (100%) so far. Do you have a cloner of any kind?
 
just the alchemy I am working with when i sex it and is a female may want to try my hand at cloning like the alchemy i am growing what I smoke everyday. but I am always open to new strains tasted a new one that is on my wishlist called lemon haze

Sorry - by cloner I meant an aero cloner or bubble cloner (something to help get oxygen and moisture to the cuttings while they take root)?
 
oh no .guess i will have to get one

Post #55 in my journal shows the bubble cloner I made. So far I've had 100% rooting using it. The idea is to keep the cuttings moist/wet while they also get oxygen. Get an inexpensive air pump and one or two air stones. I paid less than $15 for everything needed to build it. Run pump 24x7. Change water weekly.

Graytail has good luck just putting his cuttings in a glass of water.

Take cuttings from the bottom of the plant. You want the older woody stems. After removing the branch, recut the end under water at about a 45 degree angle with a sharp, sterilized blade. Remove leaves and stems, leaving maybe two sets of leaves on the tip of the cutting and two or three nodes with them removed. These nodes are the ones that will generate the new root growth and must stay wet. There are good pic's of the process on 420.

I'm sure there are different/better methods, but this works for me. It is cheap and easy.
 
a lot has been going on in the grow pics to come tomorrow when I get my internet on tomorrow. Am alive and well and miss seeing ya's
 
It seems most of us prefer Photos & I believe the reason is the same reason I do. Once autos are done they're done; No clones or re-veggies but I'm doing an experiment letting an auto over-rippen and hermie for self-preservation to breed some beans. If anyone's interested it's ongoing in NCG 3.5
 
yeah after 3 days i now have a flower room it is small only 2x6.5x6.5 but i am happy with it. My friend flaked on me so i built it right here off the veg room. Had a accident today hope i didn't loose my amnesia auto i dropped the exhaust fan on her and broke the main stem only partly was thinking maybe i can graft her . Have done it with other plants. On the first I will be getting a 400 cfm fan. that should help handle the air better. Will continue to run the 2 160's i have going now. Lost all my bubble gum and tangelo rapido ( think it was the perlite stopping it from popping. Planted 4 more alchemy on 5/20. Was given 3 strawberry cough seeds have them germinating. here are the latest pics
Lemon Deisel 27 days she got heat stroke hope she bounces back

well that is todays update
 
Looking good, Bears! The Lemon diesel looks recovered and ready for a bigger pot. Amnesia looks good too, some call that accident "supercropping" :rofl:

The Sour Kosher? Doesn't look like weed yet. Curious to see what she does?

Keep up the good work. Keep the lights bright and the temps down :thumb:
 
SK looks like basil.
 
I didn't know what but I was thinking something along those same lines Pita; something other than weed.
