Here's @SweetSue 's original Instant Pot thread that can provide some background on using the pot. That one was based on infusing oil, but the same mechanics are involved.

It’s called sublingual administration. Buccal is in your cheek. The medication dissolves and goes straight into your blood stream.
Many medications are administered this way because it works faster. They are usually antiemetic meds or pain meds.
They look greatI turned the lights off a little earlier than usual this morning, so I also turned them on a bit early. She seems to know that it's not quite the right time and is a little droopy. I also finished placing the training supports for now. She's already growing out the side branches at the third node, so I'll have to be careful to keep on top of the training. She's going to be a very bushy girl.
PS I haven't forgotten the names Tra, I just have to pull out the tags.
And I really do prefer a plant to have a name, for me it changes from being “a plant” to being “my plant”. I don’t know about you but my plants bring me such happiness, they each have little personalities. I know exactly who is who too.
I always feel such sadness when I harvest. Mental I know lollllll

So, I know I have those little signpost type labels. I used some this past spring, and for the first time I knew which type of peppers I was planting where. But damned if I know where I put the rest of them. I'll make that a priority today.
Other than that, she's pointing up again! I'm glad she's taking to training well.

Well idk how I've missed this entire journey. I tried to catch up real quick...
Notes
Hate vapes for weed don't ever get high
That was a big ol topping!
Love the strain choice
That forgot to water girl...they bounce back...could have almost fried them to death like me lol
I'll be here moving forward, following now
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Welcome!
I wonder what it is about vapes that some people can't get high from them? I'm also starting to wonder if the high from cartridge vapes and dry herb are different. Maybe it's like edibles. My sister can barely get anything from them, but dry herb vaping works for her.
I have the top in a peat pod right now, and she's looking surprisingly good so far. I decided to use aloe vera gel, as a rooting compound. Good thing too, the rooting powder got wet.
As soon as I heard of this strain a few years back I have been looking for it. Glad WSE had it.
It was a really disheartening morning, opening the tent and finding her like that. She has really bounced back though.
Glad to have you, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and yours!
Yes...very different. Dry herb vaping works but those concentrates, nope. Waste for me..used to get them thinking the next one will be different and then over and over again before I said this was crazy. Prefer not to dry herb vape though, either. For me and for some people, I think it is the fetish of smoking and how you smoke it that gives you that extra boost...you know what I mean?
Awesome! Aloe, huh?! That's a great idea! Funny, this last round I spilled all my damn powder...you reminded me I need to grab more!
They're great, awesome selections...always...what's your favorite?
Omg...you know me by now, I'd die lol it does feel like your heart drops some...ugh when I saw what I did to the seedlings...I think I almost fainted out of shock and remorse
Thanks for having me and thank you, shooting for better than 2021! Think we all are!

Well, I stopped smoking weed in high school. I did pick up a water bong when legalization rolled around, but I've only used it a couple of times, it has a layer of dust on it now, lol.

I decided to steer clear of the cartridges, and then the reports of popcorn lung started, so I'm definitely not going that way.
I got an aloe plant because I heard of other people adding the gel to their water and foliar sprays as a wetting agent, and a couple of growers using it for cloning, so I thought I'd give it a shot. And hey, another plant to grow, bonus! This is the first clone I've had that wilted and then stood straight back up, so we'll see how it goes.
My favourite strain is still a tie between Cherry Bomb and Blueberry Kush. CB never gives me couch lock, and I can still relax. BBK just puts me in a really good mood, and I can actually fall asleep and stay that way.
Just couldn't believe that it went limp and then crispy so fast.

Can you tell me about the Blueberry Kush? I got some free seeds with another order and just popped one to try it but I didn't really see much background other than what was on Leafly.

I don't know much, like who bred it or anything. But Blueberry crossed with OG Kush, so it has a good lineage. The first time I tried it as soon as I opened it I could smell the Blueberry strongly, but it also smelled more like weed than straight BB does. A little less couchlock, more of a euphoric head high in with the body buzz, and a little stronger than straight BB as well. At least for me. Great strain.
Omg how sad lol
Yea bad news bears
Woot!!
Clones do that...she will be ok I'm sure
hmmm second time I'm hearing cherry bomb here, another WSE seed?
Crazy right but then they bounce back quickly also!
I use aloe for cloning. Seems to take 5-7 extra days to get roots compared to using the cloning powders and gels, but I like the fact that it is a natural approach and I can grow the rooting component, the aloe, myself.
When you cut the clone it goes from having a built in source of water to instant trauma. I've found that keeping it under a misted dome of some sort for a bit helps it take in moisture from its leaves and that helps get it off to a better start. I use an inverted plastic cup or Tupperware container, but I know others that just use a plastic bag. Just something to increase the humidity around the cutting for a bit to help it stabilize.
But, like you said, it usually stands back up after a bit even without the artificial humidity environment.

Nope. It was bred and sold by a non-sponsor breeder, but some of the sponsor seedbanks sell it. Or maybe sold, most places seem to be out of stock. I'm considering buying some regs and chucking some pollen myself, and last I checked True North still has some regs in stock. Might go over there now, but they are a bit pricey.
Never done any of that...idk maybe one day
I'm with Krissi on this one.
This was my friend, Sue's favourite way of cloning.
According to my research, both of these strains are high in myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene. Since both of them work for you, you might want to look at other strains high in these terpenes.
Happy New Year, Melville! I hope 2022 is good to you.

Well it seems to be a good one so far. Hope it's one of the methods that works for me.This was my friend, Sue's favourite way of cloning.
Seems all the strains I like are high in myrcene, lol. I do check terpenes sometimes, but I should probably check more often. I think I'll go check what the strains I'm planning on growing this summer are known for.
And a Happy New Year to you!
Your plants are bursting with good health!So, I know I have those little signpost type labels. I used some this past spring, and for the first time I knew which type of peppers I was planting where. But damned if I know where I put the rest of them. I'll make that a priority today.

That green is on fleek bruv
Hey Krissi
Happy New Year.
Hey I often wondered, how did your monstercropped clone go?
Oiiii Melvin! I’m getting notifications @Grand Daddy Black is in da house. FYI He’s a 420 Mag big wig. You’ve officially made it to the big times bruv. No pressure, but don’t fuck it up now!
Lolllllllllinggggg.
Lolllllllllinggggg.
Hey, Melville! 
I've been catching up on your post for most of the day and had fun doing it. Good bunch you've got going on!
That @Trala is a laugh riot!
I'm no "420 mag big wig", I just do the best I can. And I find immense joy in conversing with the growers here.
I'll pull up a seat over on the side if you don't mind.
Which way to the restroom?
