Surprise Deliveries
Don't you just love things that show up unannounced? A while back I made contact with the CBD Crew and we struck up a conversation that resulted in their wanting to send me a selection of collectible seeds. They showed up today.
I may have to run two plants in that 2x2.
Just kidding. I need to reign back at five plants total and limit it to one in the 2x2 at a time.

Daily Update: Tuesday, July 5, 2016
Good morning everyone.
I woke up this morning to the realization that in all the chaos of breaking down and starting up again I neglected to reset the HB kit soil. That's where my day started. I mixed in EWC, some leaf material and more water. Close it up and give it a month before planting. That actually plays into my perpetual timeline. By then everything else will be coming along nicely.
The Blow Mind Auto sprouted a monster tap root overnight. I think I need to start checking them earlier than 24 hours or simply plant them directly in the medium and skip the paper towel. Not sure about that though. Let's see how this one goes.
This was the first one I used B A R's second step with. I pulled out a Rockwool cube, soaked it in distilled water for an hour, squeezed the excess water out and gently worked the little fella into that opening without breaking anything. This one may have gotten away from me, so if it doesn't take quickly I'll start another seed.
I dropped it in next to the DDA. B A R recommends 18/6 under CFLs. This one gets 20/4 like everyone else, under the Timber Vero 240. I'm still considering her own CFL, and I may do that in a few minutes. I'm tired of lankey seedlings.
Done.
Initially, I didn't have the duct tape around it. When I set it out, I swear, B A R's presence stepped in behind me and said "You forgot something Sue." I stopped and looked and it hit me why he does that. It turns the Rockwool into a little germination pot with solid sides. This may be part of his success. I corrected the oversight. B A R smiled. I felt it.
Dark Devil Auto (Day 15)
Med GOM 1.0 (Day 17)
The tiny closet, right before I moved the Blow Mind Auto into its own germination spot.
That's it for me today guys. Time for a run of Callanetics. Those four capsules I took earlier were a bit too edgy. Lesson learned. Take two or three and wait an hour to supplement. It hits the system in a gentler manner and still hangs for hours. The Callanetics will take the edge off. I'm missing brownies. I haven't had any for a day or so while I test the capsules. That smokeathon wore me out. Haha!
Time to get out there and spread that overflow of joy we get from our gardening obsession around our communities. Have a wonderful day doing just that. I'll do my best on my end.

Sue, you may have done this, but since you didn't mention it I wanted to point it out...
When using Rockwool, it's a good idea to soak in PH adjusted water...The Rockwool has a very high starting PH that should be adjusted down before adding your seed. You don't need to PH adjust the Rapid Rooter or Sure to Grow cubes (in advance), though.

Hi Sue.
I usually soak my rockwool cubes for at least an hour as well. I use ph neutral RO water. Like mr. Krip said
Then I shake the excess water out without squeezing. And let it drain for another hour to see how much water it retains. I try not to squeeze them.

Thank you Mr. Krip. The idea of needing to be aware of PH at all is going to be my downfall, I fear. My brain's trained to never go there. Part of why I'm attempting this. It's important to step outside the comfort zone sometimes to come to a better understanding. I soaked it in RO water, which I'm hoping will be ok. My PH tools and supplies won't be here for a few more days.
Thanks keltic. I'll remember that for the next time. This time we at least got a seedling to make an appearance.
Please welcome Blow Mind Auto by Sweet Seeds.
heya sue,, cheers to ya,, and,, very kind comment, thank you,,
i am brand new to rockwool,, got my first cubes just the other day,, four clones in em right now,, just a note,, funny,, the instructions on my cubes mention specifically to not squeeze or even shake the water out ,, for clones anyway,, just thought it interesting that they mentioned it so specifically,,i need to find a cloning solution, bad
a q iffin i might,, i might not have mentioned, anywhere, cept to me wife,, i have started consuming most of my mj, rather than smoking,, i simply decarb the bud and chew it,,
i had never experienced a 'body stone' in my life until i started this,, i read about it and the skeptic in me near convinced me that there was no such thing,, till recently. the buzz from this is , better, longer, groovier and other iers i cant think of now,, wow,,
a simple ninety mins in the oven and ,, that's it,,,,, that's it.. i really don't know why this is not the norm,, it is so superior,, no bad taste, like raw bud, no smoke, no cough, no sugar, no other cookie ingredients,, no problem,, no idea why this is not 'the' way to consume cannabis
oh ya,, my q,, i noticed you wrote somewhere that you decarb your bud at 240 or maybe more,, now,, everything i have read about this stresses the point that lower and slower is the way to go,, as in 220 or less for 90 mins or more,, i read one catch thing,, 110 for 110,, as in 230 for 110 mins,, even that is a bit high temp as far as most of my other research goes,, i keep reading that lower for longer is better,,
curious if you know otherwise
cheers sue,,

Look at your city water report. My area is PH adjusted to 8.0 by city to "be gentle" on existing piping. It should give you an idea of what you have and it's online and free. It's tough on early plants with no nutes or just compost tea I'm at 7.5. Which will wrinkle and stunt cutting or seedlings. PH down will add ppm to your feed or water. My ppm was 546 @7.5 , ph down to 6.6 ppm was 670. Or ec, TDS pen is what I use for measuring my solution. You'll be fine once you get a handle on your tap or RO.

That is correct! Lower & slower are better, although, I still do 240*F for 60 mins. The reason is that, although THC & CBD don't vaporize until about 350*F, there are many other cannabinoids & terpines that can vaporize at lower temps. At 240*F, you keep most of the goodies, still. I had a list of all of the cannabinoids and the temps at which they vaporize. I'll see if I can find it and post it.
Here it is:

nivek, Mr. Krip answered that much better than I would have. Aren't we glad to have him among our numbers again? I'm playing around with a coconut oil extraction as we speak that starts with undecarbed buds and coconut oil and bakes it at my oven's lowest temp for 24-36 hours, so I'm essentially doing what you're talking about. Low temp for extended periods to get there.
I don't know if you recall that Dale and I used to eat baked buds back before he died. It was the easiest way to get him high in stealthy mode when I was spending all my time at the nursing home and had no time to cook. Baked buds prepared themselves while I showered and dressed to run back. They were also easy to leave with him for nights.
When I started doing that I was only cooking them at 240 for 30 minutes. One day I forgot to set the alarm and they baked for 90 minutes and were significantly more effective than the others. B A R tested it out too, because he was curious about my results. His were the same. It never became a regular thing for me because I started to make the brownies, which kick ass. Now I'm wondering if I cook the oil mix longer, will that make them more potent?
Thanks for reminding me of that nivek.
millertm, I appreciate the support and the confidence you express. I'm going to do my best. I've been checking out some hempy threads and I'm impressed. This looks to be fun, once I get the angst of new methods behind me. I'm already learning a lot, and one of the things I keep hearing is how easy hempy buckets are to run.
Mr. Krip, you're gonna wear out my Hammer 'O Rep. Thanks for adding to the educational value of my joyful journal. If I'm smart I'll make note of this on the flow sheet and finally start compiling a reference thread for this lengthy journal. There's so much information in here, it'd be nice to have the more important things catalogued somewhere. It's a dream I start out each journal with. Then I get distracted.

pain creme
In my wanderings today I found myself at an old thread on pain creme that intrigued me. A pain creme, made with a mere 2 grams of bud capable of healing diabetic ulcers. I had to try. It may be useful for psoriasis. The thread can be found here:
Pain creme. Using only2 grams. Used many times
He makes some serious claims about what he's seen this creme heal. Well worth chasing down and reading.
The recipe's as basic as it gets; make a coconut oil extraction and add it to a simple beeswax creme base. I can do this.
Oil extraction
2 grams of bud, chopped fine, not powdery.
Turn the oven on the lowest setting.
Remove all but one rack. Place that about 3/4 of the way down.
Combine the 2 grams of prepared buds and 8 tablespoons of coconut oil. As you can see, it's hot enough in my apartment that the oil's liquid. If the oil was solid I could use 4 heaping tablespoons instead of the 8. Liquid form's easier to get a measured dose IMHO. Use a glass jar that can be placed in the oven at your lowest setting.
Close it up and shake vigorously.
Place it on a glass baking dish in the middle of the oven rack. Every hour, initially, give it a shake. After a few times you can back off the every hour to whenever it crosses your mind and it's convienient. Leave it in there for 24-36 hours.
Every hour that I'm up I'll give it a shake. I'm going for the 36-hr mark, shooting for potent. Then I'll strain and make the creme.
