Thanks to all of you who voted for next year's seed selection from WeedSeedsExpress!

With no new votes coming in, let's take a look where we stand for the Wednesday update.

Since I couldn't find a ranked voting calculator that made any sense to me, I assigned first place votes 3 points, second place votes 2 points, and third place votes 1 point. Here are the results of that tally:

Based on the numbers, Sour Diesel came in first, followed by Amnesia Lemon Kush and Jack Herer.

However, Amy mentioned that she didn't find Sour Diesel happy social weed at all. So based on those top three, I'm looking for information about them in terms of effects. I don't mind bumping one out if it doesn't fill the happy social category.

If anyone has any thoughts on that subject, speak now!

No experience with any of these strains, Shed. However, I think viewing these results would cause my raw curiosity to kick in and I'd have to grow a Critical White!

Might just be Amy then

... seems to be so. Different strains for different brains!

I still say you can’t go wrong with Jack herer and the amnesia lemon Kush, which should be an awesome sativa dominant hybrid.

hapoy day to you and the family

Merry Christmas Shed and everyone! Let em roll!

Merry Christmas Shed and everyone! Let em roll!

Thanks otter! I hope yours was a good one.


Speaking of letting 'em roll, let's roll into the final week of 2020 with my plan for making extractions. As I mentioned back in October, I was considering buying an electric alcohol distiller to both increase the alcohol content of what's available in California, and also to evaporate and recapture the alcohol after the extraction process. The main sticking point was finding a battery vape that could handle the results of the process.

After @Mr. Krip made a couple of recommendations and @StoneOtter tried the process on his new one (trying to see if I can get a sponsored one here, so no mentions yet!), I thought I would take my first steps down that road.

I checked Amazon for electric alcohol distillers, and although they had a number of them ranging in price from $100 to $170, they all looked absolutely identical, so I went for the $100 version.

It won't be here until January because I guess they ship directly from China. In the meantime, I'll be heading down to Bevmo to pick up some 120 proof Everclear:

They don't sell 190 in California, and I can't even locate any Bacardi 151 nearby. So I'll start by double distilling this to get it up to the 190 range (per @Derbybud's suggestion here), and then running the QWET through it to recapture as much of the alcohol as possible.

A lot of money in my house goes to vape cartridges, so I'm hoping this process will greatly reduce that expenditure!

I hope Christmas weekend went well and you're all recovering from the food, family, and fun! Stay safe.

I’ve been researching for months how best to reclaim alcohol and still haven’t made my mind up so I’ll be watching your progress with interest! Wish there was a distillers for dummies thread
