I was wondering that same thing. Seems like there would be some THC and good stuff on the inner part of the bud, especially if its rock hard.

Thanks! I’ll work on it.
I like the rosin press too, but for any fresh frozen or trim I do the Everclear thing. You’re right, it’s tasty!
I’m thinking about it newty. Not sure I’m up for it, but we’ll see.
I’m popping some beans this weekend. I hope to get a nice one.
I’m going to head over there Lilolme!
I keep the bud after the first wash and put it back in the freezer. The next time I’ll wash with Everclear a little longer and shake a little instead of swirl. It’s usually a little darker because of the chlorofil and it’ll be a little more darker and usually a little less potent. The second batch is what I normally use to make butter or capsules with. The first batch I normally Dab. This time, however I’m going to use it for mostly capsules and a few dabs. After the second wash, the material gets bagged and thrown in the trash. I don’t put it on my compost.
Okay, okay! I’ll work on it.
Usually 2 washes and it’s over.
How long is each "wash"?
How much bud do you think you used there? And last question (for now)...how many 'doses' do you think that yielded you?

GT gonna need a Q/A session after those pics. I've got a few but I'm sure they'll get answered here. Looks good GPT, do a little dab for me

Do you decarb the oil for capsules?

1. The first wash is about 30 seconds of swirling.
2. I’m not sure on weight because it was fresh frozen. I’d guess that if it was dried and cured it would be probably about 20 grams. I normally just go with about 20-30 grams.
3. If I were to dab it, there would be enough for me to be really high, all day long, for about a week or a little more if I don’t share. Mind you, I hit it all day long. With capsules I would imagine I’d get quite a bit from 1 cup of coconut oil. What I do is put the whole patty into 1 cup of oil. Not very scientific, I know, but it could be diluted further if needed. Or, it could be made stronger by using less oil.
I’m on it.
Yes! I place the stuff into a silicone container and place it in my toaster oven at 250F for 10-15 minutes or until it stops bubbling. Once it’s stopped bubbling you know it’s decarbed.
I’m in the process of writing this all up for everyone. Give me about 30 minutes and I’ll post a link. I think all questions will be answered there.
Very exciting GrandpaT!

Quick morning update because I got shit to do! I’m doing a res change this morning, and other fun stuffs, before heading out for a day or two. I gotta make sure everyone is happy before departing.
Today is Day 28! The flowers don’t look as big as I hoped for by this time (even though the frost is there) and I hope I didn’t stress them too awfully much with the light fiasco. I’m hoping a fresh res change will slap them out of it...
Actually, everything seems to be about normal in reality. Maybe it’s my OCD, who knows?
Please have a great weekend! See ya on the flip side...
I talked about using Cranberry juice as my bong water to help keep it clean. Well, I’ve been experimenting, and I now use about two-thirds RO water and about one-third Cranberry. It seems to keep the bong clean, but still needs to be changed every other day in my house. What’s cool is it cleans up easily.
After ~36 hours, my oil is pretty stable. Enough that you can physically handle it...for a short time. Too long and it will melt into your skin because of body heat. Unless you’re like my ex-wife, that woman is just cold hearted!

I always like to think that the first month of flower is like laying a good foundation for a house. You have a badass foundation, now for the framers to turn on the mariachi music and start constructing your sticky green goodness of a house. Haha

Woohoo! Forums appear to be back up!
Today is Day 31. Everything looks okay. The weather here has turned nasty cold. I’m still learning the ins and outs of the LED world. My grow rooms were designed to be heated by HPS...I’ve had to add heaters.
I hope everyone is doing well. Please have a great evening!
The GG clones are beginning to push side branches after being topped.
