Bear also said he had a better sit with the alcohol version of the gummies.
I wonder how much of my juice I would add to a gummy mix...

I ate one of those thc chews one time, the entire chew is like 82 mg, a 62mg gummie makes sense, but I would make larger bears so you can half em.

The lemon jello I have is sugar free! Anyway, there are literally hardly any calories in these. Does your wife complain if you have tic tacs?I have 3 friends who consume cannabis and 2 will be transferring by months end. And I think arctic has enough caps for half the state....
Honestly I just need to see what size molds first so I can calculate how to blend them. I'm not against weaker gummies necessarily, if they're smaller. I just dont want to have to eat too many. Mainly cause the wife doesnt fully grasp that there is varying strengths. She will just see it as "why do you need to eat so many?!"
Perhaps I'll opt for a larger mold and then I can quarter the portions? Then i can say "honey i only ate half!"
OldBear's spreadsheet answers all questions.
We're not talking about the mg of the gummy, we're talking about the mg/ml of THC in the gummy...HUGE difference! No one is eating a 62mg/ml gummy. Unless they know exactly what they are doing, having tested all the way up to that dose.
Sorry I guess the corn syrup helps more than just for shine! Mine can sit out without melting and it’s about 80F inside, also I had no troubles getting any of them out of the molds ooooops. Otherwise, all looks great!

Great tutorial. My edibles tolerance is apparently unmatched by any other. I make chocolates that I can snack on all day and curve my desire to smoke but not get huge effects. I give one of them to my dad, he was high for two days. Gave another one to a brother in law who is a daily smoker his whole life and put him on cloud nine. I don’t understand my body.
I know there are limits to the mg in OTC or recreational edibles. Had no idea there were limits to what we make at home.
I was happy to read I am decarbing about right. I use coconut oil for infusion and use the 240 for about 1.5 hrs. Maybe I should go lower heat for longer times ?
As a reference my last batch was 20g of ground bud in about a cup and a half of oil. I make chocolates in an ice cube tray. 1/2 is good to knock out a light smoker and one is apparently enough for a seasoned smoker. I could eat the tray.

You and your crazy receptors! There's no limit to what we can put in an edible beyond the ability of the carrier to absorb the THC. I was merely pointing out that the numbers being thrown around were extremely high for most people. And I wanted to make sure that we were talking about milligrams per milliliter, and not milligrams of candy.
As I recall, lower temperatures for a longer time are not more effective, and once you get below a certain point, all the time in the world won't decarb the buds. Stick with what your doing!
Your plants look great even in yellow light BTW

Thanks Shed. The goals I had in mind for this grow are being reached and exceeded. I wanted more above the net this round for heavier branches. I seemed to have done that. The stretch kind has hidden the Scrog as you pointed out. I also wanted slightly bigger plants, I had to go around my net because they grew out. The larger pot seems to have allowed for more explosive growth. Yea dosing and edibles is so important. The difference between something pleasurable and uncomfortable for most. I just get the munchies.
I’ll have to take some pics through my grow glasses again. Filters out the yellow. I’m terrible at pics and do my grow little justice lol

And speaking of edibles, my wife told my daughter to have two gummies (I told my wife to be the only guinea pig but there ya go). She then spent the evening giggling hysterically on the couch watching youtube with a friend of hers. My wife had a much more muted response, but she's got a much higher tolerance. More updates on that as I pass them around over the weekend.
Tuesday plant update! I spent this morning thinning more branches on the Gold Leaf. It's so dense in there that I have been trimming underbuds as well and even some leaves that probably would have been sugar. Bud rot is what I'm working against so I want as much airflow as I can given the RH here in the summer.
Here is the result of today's trimming. It's going to take the rest of the week to put a dent in this plant:
Since @Asesino85 was asking about my quadline Haze Xtreme, here it is! Hard to find the branches with the crazy long thin leaves, but it is an X in this pic rather than a + if that helps with the orientation:
The Sour G clone is moving along so well I think I'm going to top it tomorrow:
And let me leave you with the sunset view off my front porch last night. The heat finally broke and the clouds and humidity have moved in!

Nice quad you got going Shed. Just try to keep everything at one height is the name of the game. Then let it all come up together. It's filling out nicely.

Once they grow beyond the edge of the pot (given that I don't have a cage or even a fixed position for the plant), should I build a frame to lay on top of the soil to allow for wider tie points? I still have to be able to carry it in and out of the shed twice a day.

Doesn't look to be too long yet for those middles to catch up. Give her another week and see. Can you take a side picture to tell how things are coming?
How big is that pot? I have only run into this issue once or twice, as I grow such tiny gals... but, mine was in a 5 gallon geopot, I took an old, wooden breakfast-in-bed type serving tray, drilled some holes for tie-down points, then slid it under the pot. It was actually nice because it had handles. I would just move it wherever I needed by carrying the tray.
I'll see if I can dig up pictures....

I will but you can't tell the branches from the leaves!
Just had a brilliant idea! What if I use pipe cleaners and attach a wooden barbecue skewer to the stem? Then I can just keep attaching new growth to the skewer the way Stank slides out his little rings to guide new growth. I could even support the skewer from below if it got too heavy.
Thanks P9! It's a 7 gallon pot and pretty heavy when watered so I'd have to get a sturdy tray for that. It would also take up a lot more floor space in the shed which is tight as it is with the two BSAs in there now. What do think of the skewer idea?
Give it a go, sounds like it should work well.
Stick them skewers into the pot like that damn "ker-plunk" game. LoL
I'm betting there is a bunch of ways to skin this cat. How would you attach them to the stem? It'll work if you can attach em without hurting the trunk. May be cumbersome to move without bumping them but 100% doable
So is 90 mins the norm for decarb time? Going to use this MB2. They suggest 30 mins 
. I'll go with 90... and how long for the infusion?

90 mins at 240º is decarb before the MB2. 60 minutes is probably sufficient but I allow time for the inside of the buds to reach temps. Once it goes into the MB2 for infusion, longer is better, so go with 6-8 hours if you can.So is 90 mins the norm for decarb time? Going to use this MB2. They suggest 30 mins
Thanks PW! Pics tomorrow
.My kids loved ker-plunk. I bet we still have it in a closet somewhere! I'd attach the skewers loosely with pipe cleaner rings. It doesn't need to be tight to the stem so I don't think they'd bind. I'll try it out and take pics for y'all to judge.
I normally use pipe cleaners, they're cheap and they work
