What DD said! Glad you're here to warn tell us about it, and well done having a stash on hand to deal with aftermath.

You got that right bro! Negative reinforcement is a powerful motivator, and it's taken other drastic events for me to learn lessons permanently in the past. Unfortunately you can't fix true stupid...I'll be down again, but I'm getting better at damage mitigation!Glad you weren’t more hurt. You’re wearing your Kevlar pants everywhere now I hope?!
Try a damp popsicle stick. You can be quite accurate. Just use and toss and have more for next time.Wow this sounds all great, I am in for sure. About dosing, wouldn’t it be possible to use (something) like a flat knitting needle and wet it on a wet kitchen towel and dip it straight into the dust. By being flat you could prevent dosing too much and the flat surface can be adjusted by something else, bigger or smaller.
Cheers
You’re welcome - been out of touch with this forum for a while now. Time for me to become more active.Great idea, Hedz. Titration made easy by simply adjusting the depth of penetration. Thanx for sharing.
Collective forum knowledge is such a valuable commodity!!
I never tossed the males during the years I grew my own. I loosely ground everything (male and female) but the stems and roots into "cooking herbs", or heated them up with cocoa butter and made capsules. Nothing elaborate, just quick and cheap.DON’T DIS’ THE DUDES, FOLKS!!!
When making dust the male gender of this beautiful plant absolutely has some goodness to render!
In the early 70’s I got really stoned once on some Columbian Gold; it lasted 10 years! To replicate that beautiful picture my mind now paints of that period would be blissful. I was ecstatic to score some CG72 seeds from USC last year. My only reluctance was the time involved; reportedly harvest time of up to 6 months. I’ve just embarked upon my 73rd trip around the sun and have less patience than I used to and definitely less time appropriated! Hell, I don’t even buy green bananas any longer.
Nevertheless, here we go. I’ve planted 3 plants thus far, staggered 1 month apart. After 3 1/2 months, the first showed sex; yes a damn MALE!! After this torturous length of time, I was devastated. I know, it’s always a possibility, if not a probability. After almost 6 years of continuous gardening, this is only my second male. I felt lucky!
So here I am with a dilemma; chuck 3 1/2 months of work or see if I can salvage anything at all? Oh, hell yeah, always up for a bit of testing!
I roughly stripped one of the tops of sugar leaves, small fan leaves and a handful of unopened ”nanners“. After some slow drying in the toaster oven, a good Ardent decarb and grinding to dust, I loosely filled a size 1 cap. Well I’m here to tell you, folks, this is about as potent as anything I’ve dusted thus far! The only difference I’ve noticed was the slower than normal onset. Other than an almost indiscernible little buzz, the true effects didn’t come on until nearly the 2 hour mark.
Oh, yeah, was the effect anything similar to what I remembered? With my questionable memory, hell, who knows!?! While I haven’t experienced an “Oh what a wonderful world” type of day, it has been most pleasant. I’ve even found my wife rather sociable and engaged in a short conversation. I tackled an unpleasant chore I’ve been dreading. While completing the task lacked vigor, I found the work was steady and deliberate with a very enhanced sense of awareness and concentration. The chore turned out to be far less unpleasant than expected. At lunch, I sat down for a short while and found an oh so boring movie my wife was watching, simply fascinating. I sense only a very minute body buzz, almost totally a head high. Somewhat uplifting and very clear-headed; close to the effects I’ve been seeking for the last 5 years.
Final thoughts? Well, overwhelming pleasantly surprised!! I would have never dreamed of these results from what I’ve been indoctrinated to discard. I’ll definitely harvest the remainder of this plant within the next few days. I’m really looking forward to seeing a female plant soon. It’s going to be interesting doing a comparison of the genders!
DON’T DIS’ THE DUDES!!
Man, I feel yo’ pain. It’s drudgery to me, too.
I’m a bit anal about removing even the smallest stems. In the past I’ve read that the stems are covered in minute barbs that can become embedded in the stomach lining and cause irritation. Can’t confirm the fact but rather not chance it until proven otherwise. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can chime in on the subject. At any rate, those pesky little stems look like they’d probably be pretty difficult to digest.
Not sure about shelf life of dust. I seldom grind more than about a months supply at the time. I leave the unmolested flower jarred in the freezer until time to grind up a new supply.
Does it work well enough that ground cannabis is your preferred way to consume? Do you like it better than edibles or smoking? very interesting.
Hey Buck - I have done a water cure on my auto and some of the early stuff - it really smooths everything out when I vape. Not sure if that could be an option for you.conditions that make smoking or vaping difficult.
Hi Azi! I just subscribed a couple of days ago. I am a noob, but it makes total sense to me. I am trying to read West Hippie's thread first, and then this, but I am juggling. I hope this thread is still alive!I had bookmarked this thread quite a while ago intending to come back and read it, but only now have I done so. Anyone still using this for primary consumption?
This would seem to be almost ideal for me, so I'm going to give it a go. I decarbed 11 grams of my CBG plant in the IP and then ran it through a spice grinder and filtered it through a fine mesh to produce my powder.
I weighed a one teaspoon amount of the powder and it came out to 0.993 grams, close enough to a 'round 1' to call it good. So, each teaspoon, or gram of dust, of a 15% strain has 150mg of the dominant cannabinoid in it, and therefore an eighth of a teaspoon is approximately 18.75mg, and the 11 grams gives me 88 of those doses.
I'll try one dose tomorrow and see if I notice any effects, though with cbg I don't expect to. The cbg is suppose to enhance the effects of both cbd and thc though, but also has some interesting medicinal properties of its own.
I'm primarily interested in taste and consistency of maybe just mixing this with yogurt for my first round and then go from there.
Not that bad mixed in yogurt! Actually kind of nice. Had a bit of a burnt, roasted coffee bean flavor which I'm not all that fond of, but maybe I'll grow to like it.?? Maybe.I'll try one dose tomorrow and see if I notice any effects, though with cbg I don't expect to.

Thanks, Buc! That's good to hear that it continues to be your go-to.Hey, Folks. Been a while. Yes, it’s still my go to modality exclusively. I take a small dose 4-5 times a week. Not sure what your CBG strain consists of but be wary. My dose consists of moistening my finger tip and dipping it in my pot pot. Minuscule amount works well for me. I remember when this thread was current many got good results with very small amounts and others found even large amounts vaguely effective. Anatomical diversity can cause varying results.
Good luck
