Glimmer Grows More Autos - Blue Dream - Amnesia & Dark Devil In Coco With MH/LEDs

Look at that! I dragged my feet enough I'm four pages and days behind. Forgive my tardiness. Let me jump back and catch up right now while I still have free time.

Hi Glimmer. :Love:

Canna Butter update:

Holy crap, this stuff is strong. 3 hours and it's just insane -- dank. It's dank. I'm now a little scared of it -- have I made it too strong???

I need to test it but I'm a little intimidated. Do I cook up some pasta and put half a teaspoon's worth of butter on it?

Yes. :battingeyelashes:
 
You'll need a sauce to cover the flavor.
 
Buttered toast with a rich jam is another quick option.

hooray! Sue is here!

The butter cooked for 5 hours. At the end this is what I have:

I didn't have a ricer, so I used two large metal spoons that fit into each other -- one of them was slotted. I pressed out as much butter as I could from the bouquet garni, and then, when it cooled down a bit, I pressed it by hand to get the last bit. It's the darkest butter I've ever made.

It's now in the fridge, hardening up.

I kept out .5 teaspoon and am cooking a little bit of pasta for the tasting and evaluating of dose.

The whole house smells of it -- practically REEKS of it :) It smells peppery and popcorny (that's the decarb) but also as if I cooked the worlds largest dish of hot buttered fiddleheads (Canadian delicacy -- tightly rolled fern heads -- intense very green vegetable smell. Like super strong spinach :)) I've never made any canna butter that smelled so GREEN. Chlorophyll, I guess.

That was 1 lb sweet (unsalted) butter
2 T liquid soy lecithin
38.5 mostly dried trim (sugar leaves, some popcorn buds)
4.5 g shake and overdried bud

NOTE: I'm eating it now -- small bowl of penne with .5 teaspoon canna butter, a little extra ordinary butter (because, butter) and a bit of salt. -- Wow. You're so right, Sue: that flavour is super strong! Spinach penne! It's not unpleasant though, at least in a pasta-based context. Dose started at 5:00 pm.

UPDATE: 5:13 pm -- I swear it's kicking in. Heavens, that's fast. Body buzz all over. Tongue tingly. Roof of mouth going a bit numb. Note to self: DO NOT LET THE CAT LICK THIS

Thanks, MJ! And, no the cat doesn't get any :) He was sniffing around my empty bowl so I snatched it away from him, and then took a good look at the bit of butter in the bottom of the bowl and I ATE IT MYSELF. Just to protect him, don'tchaknow

you let the cat lick your regular butter?:scratchinghead:

heh heh heh -- They really like butter! We have a cover over our butter dish but if they find a plate with left over butter on it they go to town!

YAYAYAYAYAY!
 
Okay, rest of butter report :)

HOLY. SHIT.

I'm still affected by the 2.5 ml of canna butter I ingested yesterday at 5 pm. That's 18 hours. I'm not full-on whacked, but I'm a bit fuzzy and I'm moving very slowly :)

I can say that I have never had an experience like that before in my life. I've been high, but I've never gone to the places I went to last night. The most amazing thing was that I was out of control -- safe, but beyond what I would let myself get to with smoking or vaping because when you're smoking or vaping you can tell when you've had "enough". Control pulls us back. Because I ate, not knowing the dosage, I got way more than I would have taken another way.

My mother was a research chemist and my father was a research psychologist. I kept notes :) Here they are verbatim -- and it was INCREDIBLY hard, when I was my most high, to type even this much

5 pm started eating
5:15 noticed tingling
5:45 definitely stoned
6:15 hallucinations
7:15 deep sense of oneness of all life
7:25 a long time - thoughts breaking down
7:42 deeper and deeper in time has stopped
7:53 wow I am experiencing everything from the other side of the barrier
8:10 wowow
8:18 falling asleep in my own veins - what binds releases
8:27 time speeding up heh heh heh
829 we unspool and let go
8:32 that's what nirvana is
9:39 starting to come down - everything is still beautiful
Especially we need to cleave to the despised part of ourselves
Everything is a metaphor
Everything we think we're good at we suck at
Everything we teach we should study
Limitations and strengths
10:11 some very powerful thoughts now - reading about Buddha

Woke up about 9 am -- very mellow and slow and peaceful. I never felt unsafe.

Thank you, all my friends -- thank you for being there. I wish I could tell you what you mean to me. I wish I could be a better friend to you.

And my last thought is:

I got to that place using a PLANT I GREW MYSELF IN MY SHOWER.

How can this be illegal?

:Namaste:

Damn GG,
You really crystallized the experience for us all wonderfully! Great report!
Clearly it's effective meds. I noticed the very dark color of your butter. Was the color from using the dark devil in your butter or did you have the simmer temps up a bit high? My butter gives me a lime green but not as dark.
Well done my dear.:goodjob:
Your thoughts please
 
:adore:

As I read through, I felt like I was trippin with you! You did so well to explain. Man, I wish I could get a high like that!!! I feel like Ij would have to eat a pound!

Great job! Hope you and the hubby had some fun!

P.S

You're a great friend :Love:

Thank you, Stages :) *shy* It was stronger than the simmer I would use on a stovetop or over gas -- that's the crockpot's lowest setting. It was a strong simmer -- I would have set it to just barely be in motion if I had had control, but this was a stronger simmer than that. Not a rolling boil. Too stoned to explain :)

And the trim I used was the Early Miss (Big Bud x White Widow) from my first grow. There were some darker leaves and stems in there because things purpled up because of the low temps in flowering.

Yeah, it's probably just my tolerance, eh? I realize how much I just play with cannabis, how rarely I commit :) But it was (and is) a fabulous ride. I look at the pound of green butter I have in my fridge right now and think: there's probably 96 teaspoons (well, less, because of loss) of butter in there: at .5 teaspoons that's 192 doses equal to what I took last night. :jaw dropper:

My husband was a mostly amused spectator - he says he was a little concerned because he's never seen me quite that far out, but he said I seemed happy enough. Before I give this to my mum or husband, we'd better test a lower dose!
 
Okay, now a real update on what this thread is supposed to be about: my second grow!

As of this morning all three plants have popped -- BD actually popped yesterday -- I think I planted her a little less deep than the other two because she was so tiny :)

In the tent:

The humidity is low: Should I put in some open containers of water?
