Sorry , I didn't get it. "in ur city"? May be you want to emphasize more on it.
BTW, I have not tried looking for 99%+ IPA in any soldering shop but yes chemical shop should have it.
 
Hi Jerry,

I did a tad research on your strain. Seemed it was 75% Indica dominant hybrid. Even though the review said its uplifting it shouldn't cause lack of appetite. I think your Dad is getting euphoria and is getting so stoned eating is the last thing he is thinking about. Even if he is taking the oil correctly with Indica dominant he should be wanting to eat. You can become very nauseous if not hydrating and eating.

Hi Everyone,

I have read this journal from the beginning and it has inspired me to make this oil and hopefully get my health back on track. I recently have purchased everything to start my first grow, but decided that I couldn't wait the 3-4 months for harvest to make the oil. This weekend I went and purchased 1 oz. of Cannatonic, 1 oz. of Fire OG, 1/2 oz. of Blue Dream, 1/2 oz. of Green Crack and 1/2 oz. of Blue Cookies. I also bought 1.75 ltr of EverClear 95% and have a rice cooker, electric hot pot (with digital thermometer) and all of the other supplies mentioned. Everything is sitting in my freezer waiting for me to make a move.

Since I have autoimmune problems and major pain issues, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mix the high CBD with Sativa on a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. I also don't know if I should mix the Blue Dream with Green Crack or the Fire OG with Blue Cookies to get a more diverse combination or if it would be better to make a smaller batch using just one strain at a time. Based on what I have available, what strains should I use in what combination/qty? Thanks for your time.
 
Hello C Sprite, those are a lot of strains to work with. The rule of thumb is 1 part CBD to 2 parts high THC sativa dominate for your daytime oil. Those can be mixed or kept separate. The CBD would be for your pain and the high THC sativa for healing your body of whatever ails you. The combinations you can mix together are endless and I would suggest try different oils to figure out what works best for you. That goes for your indica dominate strains as well for you night time oil. Of course once you start growing your own it will be even better as you will control when to harvest. For instance, your CBD strain and the indica strain will best serve you when grown full term. And the sativa strain harvested at peak THC.

I don't have any experience yet mixing strains but I don't see a problem with mixing your green crack, bluedream and cannatonic together. Same goes with your indica strains. (I should mention you want your indica strains to be as pure indica as possible, at least 95%) Also, 1.75 liter everclear is not enough for 3 1/2 ounces of product. That is if you are doing 3 quick washes with it to get as much of the medicin from your flowers as you can. I hope you keep us posted on how the oil making goes and I am sure someone else will chime in with more suggestions.

One last thing. Have you also read the thread on how to dose with the oil?? Here is a link just in case.

Good med strains you have.
Personally, I would get to know the effects of the similiar strains (blue dream, green cr%&k) prior to mixing.
You will have a better understanding of what to mix then.

Hi C Sprite, here is some info I just posted. Strains might have different names but the idea is the same;Cannabis Oil Dosing Tutorial: Tacking Method and this thread;Blue Dream

Sounds like your are ready to rock and roll! Take your time, I always recommend a couple of dry runs to practice. Nothing required but your set-up, imaginary herb and practice. It does wonders for your confidence. The quick wash is key. Everything else is really easy. Any issues, post and someone will respond asap.
 
I appreciate everyone's (FSC, cajuncelt, 420 Motoco) responses. Yes, I've read the dosing thread. I hope that I don't run into trouble with tacking the oil on my gums. But first things first. I need to make the oil. I know that most people use the 1oz sativa:1/2oz CBD, but I've also been told with the combo of autoimmune and pain that 1oz sativa:1oz CBD is the way to go. So I'm still not clear on which ratio for the daytime oil I should make. For an average 3 quick washes for 1 oz cannabis, how much EverClear is used? If I don't have enough EverClear to wash 3 oz 3 times, then I probably won't mix any strains and make smaller batches.

Your correct, first things first and that is the oil. I would take your cannatonic and half that and your half ounce of Blue Dream. I can show you (walk you through) using 750 ML Everclear. Wildjim had a similar experience and we got him through it (1 oz to 1 bottle of Everclear). Check your PM please.

I just looked at your first post and it says you bought 1.75 liter. That is the big bottle with the handle right?? So you have more than enough to do 1 ounce of product and will have some left over. I used 5 of those big bottles to cook down 8 ounces of product with 3 qiuck washes on everything. I broke the product down to a managable size of about an ounce at a time.

Yes, I have one of the big bottles with the handle. I am hoping to do 1 oz of the Blue Dream/Cannatonic (1/2 and 1/2 per 420 Motoco) and 1 oz of the indica with this size bottle.
 
Good luck. That should work espicially if your third wash is only a half rinse. Once you do your first ounce you will know how much is left for the 2nd ounce. I have cooked down 1/2 ounce at a time just to make sure I had enough everclear.

Just make sure you filter - filter - filter. Don't let anything get through or past those coffee filters. I lost nearly half of my oil in a matter of seconds.

Good luck to you. For a start, one ounce is a good start.

That made me laugh WJ. The filtering is the hardest part! In the beginning, I dropped a filter into the wash after waiting 45 mins for the filtering. Had to start all over. I learned to use rubberbands.

Yep, I have been there also. The shape of the funnel matters also. I use rubberbands on the ones that won't hold the filter. I also had an issue on time with popping from pieces getting through. But the worse was when I spilled half of it out of the rice cooker. I just cried.
 
Nice catch fsc! the ONE makes a big difference, lol. Thank you! We might laugh now but at the time, wowzie! Fortunately mine have been small incidents :). Once was scary, had to go to the head and when I got back it was just starting to smoke, damn magazines in the crapper, lol.

C Sprite, no worries brother you have plenty, my bad for not catching that. 1oz. Cannatonic, 1/2 blue Dream and 1/2 oz greencrack. Also you will have enough left over for your Indica also. Sweet! I know you're sleep deprived so make your nighttime first, then your daytime. Any small left over of Indica in the equipment it won't hurt the daytime, but the other way around you have to clean everything so Sativa won't leak into your Indica. TY

Just an FYI 420 Motoco - I'm a sister, not a brother (it's all good though)

Really good point about making the night oil first. I totally understand what you're saying since I've had umpteen chemistry classes in my time...I was a pharmacist in my former life (guess I still am since I still have my licenses for CA and NV). Actually if this oil works for me, I would really like to go back to work, as I also really enjoy helping people.
 
Lol. Sorry sister and certainly no offense. Lets get you back to work! Chat soon.
