I'll give it a try, with the next set of seeds.
I don't want to be disappointed again. I just started watering Em's way, BB 4, just got watered, slowly. Time to check the mail. 
Lookin great there @beez0404 ! She’s coming along really well. Quite the substantial above ground growth.
@Bean 7175 your babies seem to coming around! What did you change?
Very nice @warezaholic ! It’s gonna be fun to see the hydro rate of growth on that chem#4
Hey everybody. I just wanna share with you all something I’ve been working on.
So pretty much, I took a bag of frozen fans and a threw em on a cookie sheet, and put them in the oven at 240 degrees.
It took about 3 hours for everything to completely dry out; I gave it a extra hour for complete decarboxylation.
I then crunched them up and put them in a quart ball jar, and covered the material with everclear. I froze the jar and shook it everyday for a week.
Today I strained out the alcohol.
I put the jars of alcohol in a hot water bath outside to evaporate off
Once the level of alcohol was down to one pint jars worth, I brought it inside and put it in a pan of simmering water to evaporate off the rest of the alcohol
Here we have the finished product, it’s black and syrupy. The tiny taste I’ve had gave me a subtle head change the moment I put it in my mouth. Im going to put it into a batch of gummies pretty soon here, I think it will be potent sleep meds.
My hope is that the small amount of water in the everclear will make mixing the Cannabinoids into a water/gelatin mixture easier.
I hope that I can learn to make a effective enough edible to be as good as smoking because 2 years ago I was diagnosed with one of the rarest form of lung disorder "necrotizing pneumonia" and right now the pneumonia part of is flaring up and its the first and worst symptom.
I'm gonna look into making edibles after my pending (week over due) visit to the hospital.
This is exactly the reason I did this. I was curious of that myself. I figured that, if these strains that we grow exhibit 20-30% thc in the dried, finished buds then the rest of the plant material has to have some cannabinoids in it. I’m guessing that the potency will be similar because of my methodology. If I were to say, make butter out of these fans, I’d have to use such a small amount of butter the process would be difficult if not impossible. BecAuse I went with ethanol extraction I think the potency will be there, just the yield is very minimal. Some say it’s a waste of the alcohol because of the tiny yield, I say give me all my cannabinoids thank you!
That’s exactly what I did, I made fan leaf tincture. I’m not looking to make any concencrates, I don’t have any way to smoke them and Mrs. Chef doesn’t like them. The reason I didn’t go with an oil infusion is because the amount of oil I would have had to use would have resulted in basically no potency at all. I went the tincture route because I can bring it down until it is actually potent.
