The Hexapus's Garden

Ak, the curly leaf thing has been an ongoing thing with the Mama Thai. I got it to go away sometimes in the past. In the last four months it's been pretty persistent though. I thought it was caused by low pH but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it's heat but really my temperatures haven't been all that high and all my other plants seem fine, and it gets quite hot in Thailand. I don't know...but I look forward to working with some fresh MT clones and hopefully will sort it out.
Fussing over things I can't easily fix is the story of my life...
 
heya agin weaseley,, just a note on the decarb'ing,,, there are some temperature and time variations out there, take yer pick,, i gently, lovingly roast my broken up into big pea size, buds for 90 - 100 minutes at 225 degrees,,, in an aluminum pie plate ,, i have read higher temps but i find the lower 225 temp helps to retain a tiny bit o flavour and some green too

one i read was 110c for 110 mins,, 110 for 110,, simple, a bit higher temp tho,

bunch of reasons i prefer this method these days,, the stealthness is an obvious one,, the no smoke in me body is an obvious one, i find the stone much more intense and longer lasting,, i never knew a body stone before this,, now i do, indeed i do,, groovy,, i consume less cannibus, bonus

cheers again friend,, chow down indeed,, haha
 
How was the weed?
 
Personally I'll be doing my first decarb later today, I'd love to know if there are any hard and fast ways to do it properly. 545 degrees is one that I was following but will it be less potent if I go 220 for longer?
 
heya pidger,, cheers friend,,

i dunno

i know, think i know that several members use even higher temps for decarb,, 240 or so,, all of my reading suggests that lower and slower is the way to go,, so, lower temps, longer times

i pooled all my research and came up with 225 (i was at 230-35 but lowered last few times) for 90 minutes,, and i know this,, the results are terrific, best stone i have had in years,, and can tell the difference in strains now,, in stone strength anyhow,,

higher temps i noticed gave the buds a cooked/burnt taste,, but not so much at 225

at 225 i can actually still taste some flavours in the bud, kinda sorta,,

nice chatting pidger,, cheers to ya,, get out to the lake and wake and bake for us agin,., cheers friend

545 degrees would be kriazey indeede doo,, that would be all ash and nothing but ash left,, surely a typo,

i tried a bit of variation in time and temps and came up with what i do now,, experimentation is always best,,

oh,, and ditto for the dosage, for chewing anyway,, one must find the correct amount,,by trial and error

oh,, and the stone,, it took me two days before i even noticed the stone, it was so different,, hiding in there and not telling me for two days,, silly stone
 
Damn apologies, I don't even know how I managed to type 545 lol. It may as well be though as I read 246 is the temp that cooks THC or at least one compound of it. The guide recommends 245 degrees for 20 mins, is this wrong? It's just a decarb but I can't find concrete info
 
well,, googling decarbing marajuana will give you all the same links i found, including on this site,,

sweet sue chats up decarbing a lot in her cco threads,, she is up near the 240 range me thinks,,

a few members and i had a discussion recently on sues cco thread,, these were 'my' conclusions, all by myself,, i am a big boy now, maybe

the results of my research have been stated, and the results of the results of my research was stated as well,,

try a couple of different ways and see what you like,, maybe no difference, maybe some, cheers
 
I think I'll try a little lower temp for longer, just so long as it activates the THC. Temperatures and memory don't mix sometimes, thanks ;)
 
Yeah I'm assuming we are all talking Farenheit, it being mostly Canadians and a Brit in the discussion. We seem to have gone metric here only enough to keep confusing ourselves, and everyone else.
 
It's funny that metric thing. Military and Civil use it everywhere, even USA. It's more precise and yet easier to understand on the fly (and U.S. Military have to co-ordinate with The Rest Of The World, even when they're in charge..)...

"110 at 110" sorta thing doesn't help in our case; the confusion is a unfortunate potential trap for people.. 110 @ 110 seems to be accepted world-wide; at least, on the interwebs... Even in the States and elsewhere where F is the norm..
At least, in this case if you get it wrong and set 110F, won't do any harm..

The only place metric is not as precise as English is measuring temperature. Celsius measures the freezing pt and the boiling pt of water at 0 and 100, respectively. I don't know if Celsius thermometers have marks for tenths of a degree.

Fahrenheit measures freezing and boiling pts of water at 32 and 212. So there are more measured increments for the casual user. I need a thermometer with both scales to compare cooking temps. It's a PITA to keep checking the conversion online.
 
we be dope smokin stoners here,, i took for granted the intelligence of this community and their ability to figure this all out,, me be canuck, celcius is second nature now,, but me also be old canuck,, standard measurements are second nature as well,, tho i never did get all them quarts and pecks and hectares and such, adverbs and pronouns either,, detest em,,
 
Cheers, AK. Correct and relevant! I forgot that the talk was of temps! Celcius has nothing to do with decimal, anyway, right? Wasn't it just a new system to standardise/overhaul the F system for whatever reason?
I NEVER use F, but 0-100 makes sense.. C thermometers don't usually have "tenths" of a degree as such but it displayed on TV (or digital) etc as 25.3 whatever...
Funny what nivek said.. I'm also getting older, and I used to surf, and feet/inches is how they measure surfboard dimensions, so I'm ok with Imperial (as we call it) but only in small sizes/dimensions.. I wouldn't know what 12 Yards is. But 2 inches is this far: (holds thumb and index finger approx. 2 inches apart). See? Easy!
 
I think the Celcius scale is considered part of the metric system. In Canada it was brought in as part of the change to the metric system, amidst general disgust and loathing. The day that the weatherman for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announced the weather in Celcius he got a pie in the face.
 
That's too funny!
Yeah, we never got any F in school or anything. Too scared to even attempt to spell it! For some reason I thought it was introduced 1/200 years ago with some scientific-esoteric purpose, and was adopted later by everyone else.. Didn't it use to be backwards? Like, 'Freezing" was 100?
I'm gonna look it up!
