Beautiful lotion there, Bud. Hey the wife has the week after next off so maybe we can get together one night or maybe next weekend. If you have all the stuff we can start cooking a batch of soil too while there's some time. Hope you and miss J are having a great evening! Give couch dog a scratch or too from me .

I wish I had a 420 buddy. My friend Lucifer has an account but he's always too busy to start a journal lol he's going to after New Years. He's working on this veg box for outdoors
its 4x8 so he can veg clones to get ready for summer.
And now I'm about to blow your thread up with his bud porn arctic lol sorry. It's a tub grow like dabs. It's a top over bottom set up. He veges on the bottom and flowers up top. DWC and he's the master of tight spaces. Usually averages 3-4 ounces and he's the one that does the super hard defoliation a couple times in flower and shocks them with sugars.
He's pretty good in confined room I'll give him that!
Bud porn commences

Thanks all
We’re getting ready to start making some caps here in a few. The lotion got the thumbs up from Ms J so we can get that into containers as well........lol maybe not tonight but for sure tomorrow.
It’s just about -12 right now here and we have all our goodies out on the deck getting nice and cold!!! 1/2 gallon of everclear, 1/2 gallon of Lilly, 3 collection jars with unbleached coffee filters fixed to the tops with rubber bands. That’s all out getting winterized now......shouldn’t take to long at these temps
then we have a small rice cooker, a hot plate, a pan with cooking oil in it to decarb after the boil off in the rice cooker, a wooden spoon to mash the Buds up with and a fine mesh metal strainer to pour the stripped weed thru into the coffee filtered canning jars.
1st a shot at our temps
Here’s the lil rice cooker we use to boil off the stripped product and everclear
Here’s our make shift double boiler for the decarb....hot plate and pan with oil, on the side here is the wooden spoon and metal fine mesh filter
Lil shot of the everclear that’s chilling down
And a shot of the 1/2 gallon of Lilly
And here are the 3 jars with the coffee filters
So 1st we let those items get really really cold, then we will break up the Buds best we can with the wooden spoon. Then we pour some everclear into the bud jar stir it, shake it for 3 min.......then pour it thru the metal strainer into the coffee filter jars collection all the bud materials and set them to the side as we are pouring the liquid out, squeeze out as much as you can from the weed mash.....put the weed mash back into the container you poured it from and place it and the 3 jars back into the cold an let them drain.....takes a bit. Repeat this same process 2 more times ( we do triple wash you don’t have to I guess) to get as much of the good stuff off those Buds as you can. After the last wash, toss the weed mash in the trash or eat it if you desire.......I don’t lol.
Once all containers have drained thru the coffee filters, remove the filter and squeeze them out into the jars carefully as to not tear them. Then pour all the liquid into the rice cooker and boil it off......mind numbing boring this part I save just a bit of everclear to final rinse each jar to get as much out of the plant as I can......greedy lil faulker I’ll get more pics as we go along so you can see what we do. Then once you get as much boiled off as you can it’s time to move to the oil bath to finish things up. We try to keep our oil temp around 240 and then decarb until very few if any bubbles come from the concentrated oil. We use a lil plastic suringe to suck up the concentration so we can get a good estimate of grams/ml of oil we collected so we can get pretty close with our ratio/strength of the pills. Again we will show some pics as to how we’re doing it. Not that this is the only way to do it mind you but it’s how we do it and it works. Once we mix our carrier oil into the concentration we heat it up a bit just to aid in the mixing then we add the sunflower letchen at the end, mix it up really good and then it goes to the refrigerator overnight to let things encapsulate. This round we’ll be using coconut oil as our carrier oil so that it goes directly to the liver 1st pass and great for the recreational user or liver issue patients. More pics to come gang, sorry so long winded but we want you all to see this and if your wanting to, make some up for yourself. They are great fun too not as fun as taking the concentration of oil on its own......lol yes you can get to stoned, guess how I know that eat a bit of the concentrated canabus oil for some fun sometime.........lmfao I was blasted for like 12 hrs.........but it was fun very intense buzz so if your not into that or you get freaked out being way to hi I wouldn’t do it it is an all day “HOLLY SHIT AM I WASTED” kinda buzz.
Ok be back once things get moving along with more pics........easy peasy to do, if we can do it anyone can and we are not kidding, you can do it easy!!!
Blessed Buds our friends and be well
Love a 420 weekend
Happy holidays to you all

Re: stacking em high: AWESOME IDEA! Kinda hard for me, as I'm so short, and those flowering ladies on the top bunk get mighty heavy!
Love all the tutorials you and miss J are dropping bud!!!
Awesome info. Hope your evening is going okay, guys. Finally cooling down a little just in time for us to flower then start all over again! Been nice with sub zero temps I've dropped my average temps by 3 or 4 degrees. Well sending you warm wishes and thinking of you both.
Be well our friends ...

Ok back with the 1st wash pics.
1st break up the frozen Buds best you can, we use a wooden spoon and it does the trick
Kinda like this, then add enough everclear to just cover the bud, stir/shake for 3 min, pour off thru the metal strainer into the coffee filters that are also cold as all get out
Hands are frozen too now lmao. Here’s the plate we set the washed bud onto after we squeeze it out in the strainer best we can. This bud goes back into the same jar you poured out of then all jars an everclear back to the cold. Allow to drain thru coffee filters on its own, this is slow but with it being cold as hell it keeps all the wax’s and crap from passing thru the coffee filter resulting in a cleaner medicine

Great pictorial, though if I did that I'd need gloves. My hands are freezing when it's 50° outside .

We have the rice cooker warming up now just so it’s ready when we finish the next two washes, once we get the meds into the rice cooker we start the hot plate up and get it to temp.......not sure why we do this at this time because it’s like 2 hrs to boil off

Just completed the 3rd wash, didn’t take pics this round because it’s the same as the first two washes with the exception of giving the jar that had the weed mash a rinse with some everclear.......now, once this is drained off thru the coffee filters, we will squeeze out as much liquid from the coffee filters as we can then pour the liquid into the rice cooker and rinse each of the 3 collection jars with a lil everclear to get the good stuff out and pour that right into the rice cooker. Then the boring part starts.......boiling it off, the liquid will start off pretty transparent yellow/green color but not bright green. As it boils off, it will become a milky color as it gets closer to being done, then you will notice some small balls of oil beading up in the liquid next.....that’s a good thing. Then it will get a dark color as it’s about completed. I’ll get pics as that part goes along. Pretty easy to do just takes time is all but the end result is pure magic!!! Love me some Cana caps which I haven’t had by the way lol, but have had a Stella as soon as the stripped goodies go into the rice cooker I’m taking a cap to freaking boring to just sit and watch.
