PCaddict's 1st Grow Journal

I’ve found a good way to decarb my bud with no smell in the house at all!!!
i put buds in mason jars put the top on tight real tight and bake for 30 min. At 230
No smell what so ever and quite a vacuum. I let cool compleatly it’s very hot.
and ready to go Into whatever u choose. Growers luv

I may have to try that. My wife complains every time I decarb about the smell. So it is ok to use canning jars in the over ? I have never tried that. I would think the jars would crack and break with the heat of the oven but I guess they heat them up when canning so they should work in the oven. Thanks Bud

Might want to run that decarb a bit longer than 30 min. I run mine 90-110 min. @ 230f

 

[Bud]

Works like a champ. Just let it cool slowly. I lie them down to bake. and turn once
in the process. That’s it. All the best PC.

So that MBM thing is what I need if I want to make oil drops? Like CBD oil drops.

Nice fat colas!

Question for the experts and sorry for asking again but... is it only my perception or is this more than just mid-bloom fade?

You can make oil several ways But I Love my MBM it makes thins MUCH easier. It has a 2 cup minimum so you need to add 2 ounces of flower or good trimmings to make Oil. People also use an Insti pot to make smaller batches. I want to get an Insti Pot so I can make smaller batches. @Preston9mm uses one I think. Maybe @InTheShed can help find others using an Insti Pot. But for bigger batches the MBM cant be beat I would get one if I were you.
I make gel caps filled with Infused Cannabis oil. You can use EVOO or Grape seed oil or even coconut oil. The Grape seed oil is good for rubbing in to sore and achy spots it soaks in and doesn't leave an oily fell after you rub it in. I think it soaks into your skin. Magic Butter Machine is GREAT you wont regret getting one. They are also a sponsor

It got really bad after I drowned them with a Strong Brix Spray and my temps were hitting the high 80s with very low RH like in the teens or low 20s so I am pretty sure that was the cause. After that is when it started fading. Also all the plants look like that so I am thinking it was an environment issue not anything from the kit other then me not using the Brix Spray properly. I soaked them down top to bottom, They were dripping wet. I also sprayed the top of the leafs and put them right back under the lights while they were still wet. I will not have the heat issues now or low RH I got a better Humidifier so my RH is much better now and I am venting the air from the carbon filter out side now so heat is no longer an issue

I have a tripod in my cart so I can take better pictures, My old shaky hands just cant get a good close up shot for seeing the trichomes.

30 min. At 230

This ^ . 30 minutes isn't long enough to completely decarb your weed.

So that MBM thing is what I need if I want to make oil drops? Like CBD oil drops.

I make CBD oil in the MB all the time from my Candida. I've had two separate batches tested so I know my dosing, but it's not measured in drops. Mine is ~10mg/ml of CBD and I take about .75ml under my tongue every morning and keep it there for about 5 minutes on my drive to work!

They look very nice with the fall colors. Looks to me it's time to chop my friend. Now it's the home stretch, to dry and cure, and you are on your way to Mars.

Thanks Shed. I see you posted lots of useful info on Amy's journal regarding this. I might be tempted to get a MBM and make drops in the future. I'll wave hands when I get there. Again, thanks for the useful info.

Ah yes sorry.. I always forget you had those issues. Well, in the circumstances your doing pretty good!!

I did a Brix Foliar spray right after I took the pictures. I only did the underneath and I didn't soak them down just a light spray under the leafs . The way they have faded makes me think of fall. The strain is Gold Leaf. I see why they call it that. The breeder says they turn a golden yellow color
