Lol ......no not at all I only make chocolates.....I tried gummy's...made a mess...I baked cookies...wiped out my wife...brownies...I ate them all.......

2 cups of decarbed lower bud pot in a double boiler cooked in coconut oil 1.5 hrs strained, then filtered through cheese cloth & back into the double boiler, add chocolate, stir until mixed, cool until hard.

Easier to dose with smaller pieces...3 of the small pot leafed bars is all she needs....

She ate them at 9pm...she's out like a light in her chair right now...lol....it does nothing for me...

If you can boil water you can make chocolates....you just need 2 pots one inside the other one to boil water in the other on top of the water to contain the coconut oil. It only gets so hot with the boiling water so it doesn't burn the coconut oil or chocolate chips.

Once the pot has been decarbed dump into the liquid oil....let cook 1.5 - 2 hrs stirring once and a while adding more water to the lower pot when it gets boiled off. never let it run out of water...strain, filter add chocolate...melt...mix......pour into mould or shallow pan let cool

March 8. I readjusted my Bubble Bomb and flattened her out. I get 41,000 lux in the hotspots and 35,000 lux around the edges. I have my SE3000 20" above @100%.....With the extra led side lights its increased my room temp to a high of 80f......I'm real happy with that. Most of this winter I've had a hard time getting to 76f with a heater in the room....

My girls in waiting I have a Jamaican/ Purple Haze an Interstate Dragon & 2 Tangie 99 that are unsexed....One of them just has to be fem or 4 out of 4 seeds were male...that would be some bad luck.....I've had 1 fem out of 5 seeds in the past 2 out of 7 lets hope I don't get a 0 for 4.....

Thanks guys, I read on another thread someone posted they had a nice flat canopy....I had an ooops moment. I knew that...lol..so... I stepped into my flower room and did a bit of modifying to level out the field. I then took some lux readings before lifting her up 4 ". to get to a light level I'm comfortable with.

I find it more difficult to work under the led lights. I'm going to have to get a pair of glasses to be in there. I didn't have that issue with my hps...I could be in there for hours playing with my girls but I find it too much with the reflection & brightness to do more than check for watering needs, fill the humidifier and bolt.

I read that their blue is for hps & green for the led's. I didn't find working around my hps was hard on my eyes but I can't be around the led's for long. I know we're not supposed to look at the light but I do just glancing at the distance between light and canopy, its blinding. I get fuzzy eyes for a bit after being in there....that can't be good...one day the fuzz might not go away....

I made a worm casting tea for the girls. it's new to me....I've heard folks talk about it for ever I just never got around to getting any. I picked up a $25lb bag and made 4 gallons of tea with it to start. I'll work it into my soil as I transplant up...

I'm not sure why its taken me so long to get with it....It reads like a wonder drug after looking into it.
Tea
My 4 girls ready to flip
My 4 seedlings 2-3 weeks old
My flowering Bubble Bomb...2 weeks on 12/12..

They're yoyo's they will hold the buds up when they get heavy, I was using them to support the branches when I bent them over. I don't need them now but I hope I'll need them in another 1month+ lol .....I saw a video with some pro growers using them, then I saw them on amzon 10 - $10.....I figured if they're what the pro's use then I gotta have em.

I have to do some rewiring and add exhaust duct..I should have that by Friday. I can leave the door open until then.

I hope I don't run out of room, First time with a tent. I've always had an open room grow. This new Spiderfarmer 3 x 3 tent is going to be an interesting grow.
