Watered Putple Orange CBD and Northern Lights 1.1 today.
I haven’t had much room for singles pics but made room when I moved the clones over to veg in the flower tent.

Revegging MH1

Gravity is much stronger in your part of California judging by the angle on those supercrops :cheesygrinsmiley:

With all the accreted and current and former volcanic areas (including the yellowstone hotspot track) in and near the general area there are numerous gravity anomalies throughout this region, but I'm not blaming that.

I must have not posted about up-potting a few nights ago, but I did it. There's pics in this post so it happened.

Somewhat MH1-centric. I've got the reveg and the clone. Reveg is taking off. Clone is pretty and round.

Thanks, Shed. My colleague had to take some months off so I have both his load and mine. I'm not complaining but it does make for more work that often follows me home and requires me to carve out additional time for rest. Things should revert to "normal" soon enough.

Sparkey224 · Jan 12, 2020

Top of your soil looks great @Alafornia Plants look awesome too buddy!
Hope you get back rested up soon.

Just read above, you just transplanted. But the soil still looks good and dry.lol Nice job.

Thank you, sparkey. (Why do I imagine this being said in Ellen Griswold's voice?)

Backlipslide · Jan 12, 2020

Good to see you Al! It has indeed been a while! I’ve been slacking on all my notifications as well, so I’m just trying to get caught up.

Hope your colleague comes back soon, to relieve you from the work load!

How’s tangled? Hours your kids? And most importantly, how are you doing? :ciao:

Alafornia · Jan 14, 2020

@Backlipslide , we are doing OK and my colleague should be back in a few weeks.

Been making oil since yesterday. Had to store it in the fridge and warm it back up today. It's cooling down so I can make capsules. I'll have some pics to share on that later.

Until then, I got my Terpinator and GeoPots today.

I hope that bottle of Terp is the start of a beautiful collection.

Alafornia · Jan 14, 2020

Thanks, Shed.

Put the oil back in the fridge tonight to make the capsules Saturday. I needed the rest.

The tents, both in veg. I am getting itchy on those in the flower tent. The only thing keeping me from flipping is that they were up-potted. I should have just flipped 'em and forgotten the rest.

I'll wait until I finish to post about the oil. (with pics)

Rest up Al! We all need it from time to time! :cheesygrinsmiley:

Just got settled in to eat and watch Alabama get its ass kicked by Auburn in basketball. Hope they put up a good fight.

Backlipslide · Jan 15, 2020

I always liked basketball, loved playing it, not much for watching it though. :smokin2:

Unless it's tourney time, if it ain't Bama I ain't watchin'. Now college football I can watch all day.

Alafornia · Jan 15, 2020

Well, Bama just knocked off #4 and previously undefeated Auburn 83-64. Roll Tide!

So I finally put the oil into capsules. The last time I made oil I just used a single strain, OK Kush CBD which is a 1:1 at 10%. I again made these at about 10 mg (maybee close to 9.5).

I used 50 ml each of EVOO and coconut oils plus 5 ml of lecithin (which is much thicker than I thought it would be).

I mixed the strains like this:


	Strain Profiles

		MH1		OG Kush CBD		Blueberry		White Russian		Orange Sherbet		Northern Lights


Cannabinoid Profile %
	THCx	0.50%		10.00%		13.00%		22.00%		24.00%		21.00%
	CBDx	16.00%		10.00%		5.00%		0.31		0.70%		1.70%

Plant Material Volume Grams	3.00		5.00		2.00		0.75		0.75		0.75

Production Efficiency %		0.85		0.85		0.85		0.85		0.85		0.85

Cannabinoid Volume Mg
	THC	12.75		425.00		221.00		140.25		153.00
	CBD	408.00		425.00		85.00		197.63		4.46		10.84

Total Oil Volume ML	105.00

Solution Strength Mg/Ml
	THC	10.34
	CBD	10.77
	Total	21.11

Now we know the cannabinoid levels for each ML of each oil. Lets go calculate some blends.

	Total Volume and Milligrams			Total		Dose ML		Dose per capsule
	ML	100.00		100.00		1.00		0.91				133.88
	THC	1034.17		1034.17		10.34		9.410916667
	CBD	1077.07		1077.07		10.77		9.80135
	Total	2111.24		2111.24		21.11		19.21226667

Against good advice from Shed and others I mixed them all together. Either they will do well and I'm good or they won't and I'm a dunce. We shall see.

Basically after choosing strains and amounts I ground the flower in the amount needed, placed the flower in a mason jar, added the oil and cooked it in the Instant Pot. There was ZERO odor while infusing. The decarb took place while infusing. I used cheesecloth to strain. I used a capsule machine while making the capsules. The syringe I used to move the oil to the capsules was finicky so it was messy and too much got wasted as a result. Still, I made 80.5 capsules (one was only half full). I probably wasted enough for 10-20 more capsules. Gonna have to get that figured out.

Overall, I feel I did a good job. We shall see.

Just to note: most recommend making oils of individual strains then mixing them together for the final oils. That makes sense for a number of reasons and I may try it sometime. I hope my belief in my goal of mixing is well placed.
