Growing Without Bloom Nutes By Farside05

Made some Cherry Limeade Sour Patch Gummies this AM for someone that has Huntington's Disease. In the past, the daughter had bought the Sonic Cherry Limeade jello. This time I just used a box of generic cherry and a box of generic lime. Result was nearly identical, and cheaper. Don't believe we'll be splurging on the name brand anymore.


Do you have to store these in the fridge? My wife wants me to try making some since I have more bud than I know what to do with at this point. How long do they keep?

I keep mine in the freezer. They won't freeze and are still chewy. It keeps them from getting slimey like they may get in a warm environment. I can't say how long they keep since they are always gone within 2 weeks.
 
Thinking I'll try making coconut oil this go around. Got the gist of it, no problem. Only thing I haven't seemed to find is whether or not you need to dry your trim/scruff/popcorn before cooking it up?
 
I do, haven't tried it any other way. I weigh out my dried bud plus about 30% extra so that I end up with a post decarb weight I'm shooting for. Say I'm wanting 30g post decarb for oil, I'll start with around 40g of dried popcorn. That should get me in the ballpark. If you were wanting to decarb wet bud I'm sure you'd have to start with a much greater weight and cook it longer so that you could dry and decarb the bud.
 
The last of the Mohicans waiting for the chop and signs of new life. The Purple Lemonades both were showing their heads this AM. Tomorrow I'll get some pots filled, the tent cleaned, and things ready for transplant. The last Purple Urkle still could use a few more days. She may get ousted and just put in the dark in favor of the new girls. She sure is taking her sweet ass time.

Ahoy Farside,
I think your intervention and assistance in this person's battle with HD sets you apart from your would be peers. Taking on a beast like that disease and helping her with pain and much more.
:love:
 
Back in post 198 you gave your recipe for gummies. How many gummies does that make? Any suggestion for how much cannabis you have in that 1/4 cup of infused oil? My wife does well with 10 mg gummies from the dispensary we went to in SoCal, so I'd like to try and replicate that dosage for her. If this is too far off topic, send me a PM if you get a chance.

The most recent recipe is here. Makes 172 gummies. There's 1.5oz of bud in 3 cups of oil. Assuming a THC level of 15% in the bud, and an 82% extraction rate, each gummy should be 2.52mg. I like the smaller size gummies rather than big molds. Allows for easier micro dosing.
 
You must like to eat gummies at that dose!

Do you think that's low? The wife and daughter eat 3 for a mild buzz, 2 when the wife just wants to kill Fibro pain but be mentally clear. The son and I eat 5-7. If I had a bag of non Canna sour patch kids, I'm gonna eat more than 5 in a sitting.
 
I did tinctures and capsules at first when the mother-in-law and wife were weaning off the opioids. Then I went to cookies, but at 30mg each, they had a tendency to eat the whole cookie instead of a quarter because they liked the cookie. One night the wife got the munchies after the first cookie and ate 6 more! o_O That was a 36 hour high...lmao. Gummies ended up being their preference and they don't tend to overeat them.
 
Babies! Got the tent cleaned up, pots filled, and 3 of the 4 transplanted. The last Strawberry Cheesecake is just breaking ground. Maybe tomorrow she'll see her big girl pot. Dropped the light, dimmed it to 15k lux, set the timer for 20/4. Watered them in with 500ml of 1g Mega, 1ml Cal-Mag, 1ml Faux-Tekt®.

The last Purple Urkle got banished outside the tent to sit in n the dark. Hopefully she'll ripen a bit more in the next day or two before the chop.

Thank you! That is perfect for my wife. Better for her to start low. I don't seem to process edibles so I won't use them. I have tried up to 300 mg with little effect.
