Too add, one of the reasons I try to stick to high level comments is that I learned from my own behaviors over the years. I tended to be more hung ho and speak out about any opinion that didn’t match my own and I still cringe at some of the stupid things I’ve said or wasn’t open minded enough to consider alternative perspectives. The fact that I don’t argue with anyone but rather will try to conscientiously debate if I see something that may be harmful while keeping an open mind that I might be wrong. There are countless variables involved in what we deal with day to day, and over the years I’ve witnessed miraculous results using varying methods including those I know nothing about. If you go back to my original profile budnoob without a 3 and and another year to that at least while I was just stalking I hope you could all agree the even the fact I’m still around confirms I’m not just blowing smoke. Love and respect…
And since I’m not sleeping and feeling well I’d like to summarize as briefly as possible what worked for me and still does with the disclaimer that what works for me doesn’t necessarily work for anyone else although I can attest that one other person who followed the exact same protocol is still here with us. Another disclaimer is that other homeopathic remedies, avoiding all sugars including artificial sweeteners, avoiding most oils, exercise and significant change in diets were involved (lots of superfoods, raw vegetables, etc)
Tim’s methods for preparing the oil
Many different growers taught me but it boils down to organic was primarily how I went, did some tests with Hi-Brix that were mostly but not quite all organic so in the end I modified it to be 100% organic which did sacrifice yield a small amount but did not sacrifice quality.
Never used anything but spyrytus which may be spelled wrong but essentially a safe food grade extraction alcohol.
Used the gum tack method invented by Tim afaik, but also used every other method you have seen in these pages.
Used a mixture of carbed and non-carbed oils- which I was happy to see others have tried - don’t really know if it helped but at least can say it did no harm.
Typically harvested my sativa at 20- 30% or so amber, and harvested my indica at anywhere from 40-60% amber trichomes. Again not sure if it helped but my logic was to vary it randomly to try and cover all bases. Didn’t hurt.
As for day vs night oil schedule I personally considered 8am - 6pm day and after 6pm - midnight or when I went to bed night
For water intake, I would drink at least 6oz every time I urinated at a minimum.
Again this is what worked and still does for me so I hope it helps someone else. Much love and respect and healing to you all that read this.
