Re: The Bid 2.0 Grow -400W HPS - Blue Planet -Hempy-Coco-WW-Diamond Girl-Multiple Pur

well i was not starting out yesterday with the plan of making butter, it just kinda went that way im not really a planner,more of a wing it with as much knowledge as possible kinda doode my fridge temp is average 34 i do meat curing so the temp in there is of the utmost importance,:adore: ham and canadian bacon dont get created at the wrong temp,so no worries there:high-five:, i will have to put the 5 gallon brew pot out side because thers no room for it in the frig,it didnt boil much i turned it off every time it started to boil,
and let it cool a couple hours did that about 8 times so far, i did not gring it at all i crushed it buy hand it was totally crispy dry after sitting in a pillow case for 4 months its full of everything from fan leaves to stems even saw a few seeds i even threw in a baggie full of roaches i found in the shed(wish i had known i had those) and kief from my lil' 3 screen 2 inch hand grinder i want this butter as strong as i can get it :thumb:
its still on the stove this morning as i ran out of gas around 2 am, i fell asleep sitting at the computer! :thedoubletake: when i can move i will prolly put it out side so it can solidify its below freezing here pretty much 20 hours a day:high-five: like having a free deep freeze 6 months out of the year, in some of the vids i watched the plant material was said to sink to the bottom, well thats not true in my case:rofl: of course so my plan is to solidify so i can reduce my working volume to a gallon or so rather than a five gallon pot of near boiling crap:thedoubletake:not easy to work with!!, then i can manage getting the stuff seperated , i dont have cheese cloth but i do have strainers,coffee fliters and one of those gold reusable fine mesh screen coffee filters:high-five: also i may still have a paint filter mesh bag the type used in a 5 gallon bucket to keep chunky boogers from getting into your $2k paint pumps,got it from my bro in law to filter hops out of fermented beer or wort as its called, as i recall it worked excellent, hope i can find it:high-five: hopefully i can pull this off before i got so frustrated i just throw it all out, i think im gonna throw the "gumby" hash in the mix as well since that tornrd out looking like a piece of cow dung or an owl pellet :thedoubletake: :rofl: not the least bit like putty/sticky/resiny ,im so gonna do dry ice method in the future!! so i will report back later any comments/advice is much appreciated as always
:thanks::high-five::adore::thumb:

Find the wort filter run it through the wash with only hot water... twice. I had no idea you were doing 5 frikkin gallons!! That's a bit much for 1lb of butter. Strain most of the water off down to about a gallon for 1lb of butter, if you throw the hash in, so you can put it on the kitchen stove and bring it up to simmer again for an hour. Gawd, I can just imagine trying to pour 5 gal of simmering water -way too much for 1lb of butter. Lift the wort bag out and use a hanger to keep it up out of the receiving vessel but over the butter/water mix so your mash can cool, then squeeze the holy hell out of it to get all that canna-goodness out. Chill the mix, clean your bag, pour chilled butter back through the reversed bag (inside out), this will drain off the water, and catch the solid butter bits. Once drained, let drip for about 5 min and lightly press solids together and turn them out into a bowl. Re-chill, drain off rest of water, and press into shape, or warm very-very-very gently a bit and pour into 1qt jar and cap tightly. Enjoy!

Ok if I hitch a ride on the purple train. thats one on my wish list! do you plan on lowering temps on her in the dark cycle to bring out the purple or just see what she will do on her own?

added 13 ml white vinegar to adjust ph to 5.8,final ppm reading 887

~jandre~ check and roger that capn'! i'll be updating on that when done:thumb:

~mark green~ well do tell,,im defo going with dry ice method but i will need bags, and i suppose in a pinch and if im feeling adventurous i could go bb water style :high-five:

~glittergreen~ theres always room for 1 more! according to the strain descriptions royal purple kush will need low temps or cold water in the res,
to bring out the colors, the purple #1's start turning purple at the beginning of flower, the purple maroc is supposed to have random purple buds loaded with trichs so we shall see how it goes!!:high-five:

White Vinegar will only temporarily work........... You need an actual pH buffer to keep it down... trust me, when I first started hydro, I was adding vinegar every day to keep below 6 point oh.

As for the purps. YES! they enjoy lower temps. As a matter of fact, 50-60f at night will enhance the purple color. ALL THINGS PURPLE!!!

Actually they're in the same place, just go to sporting goods, in the camping section, They're folded many times and are very, small, they can fit in your shirt pocket they're so small. They're called emergency blankets.

Walmart should have the emergency blankets. Look in the sporting/hunting/camping section.

its christmas wrapping paper that did not get used this year, i think it was a buck at the dollar store, well the butter is sitting in the frige waiting for me to pull it off the water, i went thru hell getting it separated from the loose plant material, i finally found a fine mesh filter bag and some cheese cloth in my old beer making equipment, i will post some pics soon ,
i will be getting some real ph buffer soon then i was wondering why it just keeps going back up, i heard lemon juice works well corey at bpn told me that, you guys ever use that? did it work well?
 
Re: The Bid 2.0 Grow -400W HPS - Blue Planet -Hempy-Coco-WW-Diamond Girl-Multiple Pur

you can order some PH UP and PH DOWN from amazon pretty cheaply. However, yes lemon juice brings the ph down... I'm not sure how much though : / Sure some reading will find the answer.
 
Re: The Bid 2.0 Grow -400W HPS - Blue Planet -Hempy-Coco-WW-Diamond Girl-Multiple Pur

Thats crazy I made canna butter tonight too! I used hash though, gonna be making some hash crispy treats with fruity pebbles. What are you going to make?

I still have yet to buy real ph up/down... I'm using apple cider vinegar for ph down and baking soda for ph up. Works great for me. Go slow, just a little of each will do the job.

I used lemon juice on a few plants a while back because I ran out of buffer. The 4 that I put lemon juice solution on CROAKED> there was absolutely nothing different in the two solutions except the lemon juice.

Oh I forgot... did I say, "Never"? I mean, "never EVER!"

But, that's just my experience.
 
Re: The Bid 2.0 Grow -400W HPS - Blue Planet -Hempy-Coco-WW-Diamond Girl-Multiple Pur

How much did you use? I'm sure a drop or so would be all you need?

I only used enough to drop pH to the proper level. It's not like they were sitting in lemonade, lol. But it does take more than a drop or two to lower the pH of a gallon of stuff.

Ive seen a guy on here use lemon juice on his outdoor plants with great success he does
a journal in the outdoor section I think his name is dirtfarmer I think. Outdoors and in the ground are completly different than dro I Think its best to play it safe with the buffers in my opinion who wants to take a chance with are plants that we spend so much$$$ on word!:smokin:
