Hello 420ville
Welcome to my
Stable Of Impermanence
All contributions - from the most pointy headed botanical science, to jokes about my nom de net or anything else for that matter - are openly invited and warmly welcomed.
I especially want anyone to chime in who shares the multiple frustrations of trying to use cannabis as medicine in a climate of political prohibition.

I had a not-too-shabby first round and got a dozen or so ounces out of our 3’x3’x5.5’ jungle room under 400w HPS.
The garden is still recovering having been shut down for security reasons. There were days of sub 0*C, and I was only able to look in on them once in three weeks - and I wished I didn’t.
Change is the only constant here in the Stable of Impermanence. I am changing five bagseed beauties and five of their clones back into healthy plants.
Some things change, some stay the same. Here’s the fifth in a series of five. Collect them all..
And it’s always 420 right here and we’re loving it!
I learned a lot on our first run. My goal now is to replicate that as best I can while learning other new things this time.
While I am opening the stable doors on another blooming garden I will be looking at it through the lens of ‘how can I make this medicine more effective for me?’
Don’t worry I’m not going to bore you with my problems I am not that kind of donkey. All signs, symptoms, etc - hopefully even a diagnosis one day - will be discussed either in the context of cannabis as medicine, or while vaping my own body weight.
Enough braying!
I infused another batch of oil the other day..
Sealing in a pouch and freezing after the decarboxylation is meant to preserve terpenes.
Pierce the foil lid for a pressure-releasing pin hole.
24 hrs in fridge before use to ‘set’ the chemical processes of the lecithin.
You see I put 1/3c in and got 1/4c out. Next time I’ll press the filter between some pieces of metal in a G clamp to go for that bit more.
I can’t get Shed and Old Bear’s spreadsheet to work on our crappy laptop. I tried a couple of free apps too, neither worked. As best I can figure the working out, the numbers go like this:
I’m starting with a guess. I have triangulated my perception of the potency of our bagseed Isabelles against Black Domina and S.A.G.E. and Sour and I’m starting by guessing our girls have 20% THC. It isn’t modest, but nor is Isabelle.
10g->8.8g-0.7g=8.1g @20% THC
1/3c~85ml @85% efficiency
20% of 8.1g=1.62g THC total
1.62x0.85 (efficiency) =1.4g
1.4gx85ml=0.0165
=16.5mg/ml
=8.25mg/capsule
Thanks for coming, folks!
Bring on the meds...
