2023 "Field of Dreams"

[FieldEffect]

How much Everclear will it take to do a pound of ground flower? I wanted to try kief first just to see how it goes and get a more accurate start weight for dosing. Feel like it would take half a gallon just to soak it down. I guess you can wash it just recycling the solvent and pouring it over and over through the bud. I dunno. Do you usually do small batches just to make things easier?

My 10 grams of kief I think is similar batch size to your 50g of flower.

I like the DHP effect but it’s not my favorite flower to smoke and I have a crapload. So may as well.

Thanks for guiding the way. Going to try making some vape juice with this batch as well.

Someday I’ll wind up with a press, but until then, one step at a time.

I don’t know I fill up a QT jar its 53 grams give or take. I use 12 ounces. Once you use the 190 that’s it all your oils in it You can do more than one wash. I don’t. You need to read through @ReikoX thread it’s how I fucked my way through it. I’ve only done this oil I’m doing. Making cold evap rso seems fairly easy just don’t over decarboxylate and degrade your THC %. You want to nail it on decarbing if you are doing a cold evap. Your oven and stove trial and error. I do my flower laying flat on baking sheet 240-245 for 43-44 mins. Its one of these things you muck your way though.

Not Just Another Tincture Thread

Introduction Before prohibition in the 1930’s, many of the medicines used were tinctures derived from cannabis and other healing herbs. A tincture, by definition, is a medicine made by dissolving a drug in alcohol. When I make a cannabis tincture, I will refer to it as a Green Dragon tincture or simply GD for short. This is Not Just Another Tincture Thread. This thread will be devoted not only to the Green Dragon tincture recipe, but also on how to use the tincture for edibles and topicals. T…

I would tell you not to over complicate it, but we know that’s not going to happen.

LOL pictures coming soon. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO SIMPLE THINGS

I did this yesterday:

1. Slow decarb kief (90 minutes boiling water sealed mason jar)
2. Let jar/kief cool
3. Add freezer booze (chest freezer super cold)
4. Shake 5 minutes all kief has dissolved
5. Jar back to freezer

---

I’m getting ready to filter it using a chilled pourover coffee maker into a second mason jar.

There’s two reasons for the slow decarb. The first, the other half hates when the house smells like a weed refinery. I decarbed in the oven once and haven’t heard the end of it. The other, I need to get a toaster to do this in the shed, which I just didn’t think about until now. But I should totally get a toaster for this.

The simple filter setup. Irish coffee anyone?

The result 190mL. I’ll wait until the filter papers dry to subtract the dirt weight from the kief weight. There was at least a gram or two of dirt/non-soluble.

On the heat mat for evap.

If I assume I got 75% of my kief dissolved I have 7.5g of cannabinoids at let’s assume 75% THC. 5.6g of THC 190mL.

~30mg/mL. Will reduce to where I like the consistency and see where it lands.

It should be winterized as all components including the liquids and filter holder assembly were chilled to about -20F before starting this procedure.

[ColeLennon]

Nice and clean. Great filter.
Might think about grabbing one of these cheap work great. I put the coffee filter on top of the micron filter. I decarb in the oven at night after everyone else goes to bed. Get a draft going through the kitchen out a window.

What a crazy medley @FieldEffect
Nice move on the tall-one next to the tree. They’re all gorgeous FE

Looks good. Do you have a temp controller for the heat mat? Sometimes they get to hot, so keep an eye on it!
Btw, I decarb in a sealed mason jar, in the oven.
Crazy, right?

[FieldEffect]

I don’t have a control but keeping an eye on it. About 90F right now, we’re down from 160mL to 90mL.

Took 9mL (1/10) to make some candy. 81 pieces or so, tried to keep them uniform. We’ll suppose 560mg in the batch or about 7mg per piece.

Thanks @ReikoX for the candy and tincture instructions

[ColeLennon]

Those look really cool man. I put my clip on fan on mine with the 87 seedling mat. Smoking along with the quickness. 3 1/2 hours in.

[ColeLennon]

Right on Field. Stepping right up to the plate with tinctures, oil and candy.

[FieldEffect]

I’m in no hurry and want to avoid dust so I have paper towels laid over mine. Slick simple setup you got running through. I wouldn’t have done this if it weren’t for you making it look simple

BTW: I’m feeling that test candy

[ColeLennon]

Nice. Tell me when you hit a bonus piece.

[FieldEffect]

12mL left… reasonably easy to handle warm.

Seems unreasonably strong to actually have 10g of refined kief (well, more like 9g after the candies) in it? Maybe I messed up. Not black tar but I suspect the water remains, 12mL is pretty close to 5% water of the Everclear.

[ColeLennon]

The beauty of it. You get to guinea pig yourself on doses. Let your wife and kid know daddy might act a little different while he works on his special project.

[FieldEffect]

They’re sated by the plain batch of candy I made as a trial before the “special project” candy I made on the back patio

[ColeLennon]

Those look awesome. I need to window dose mine 10-15 MG

[FieldEffect]

They taste great with banana flavor oil I got from the confectionary store. I won’t mind eating a few

Beautiful evening setting over FieldEffect’s field.

Sprayed BT this AM, been staying on a 3-4 day interval religiously. Been seeing moths ON the girls. Making sure those larvae don’t stand a chance. Trying to avoid spinosad because of all the friendly bugs around.

Are a big candy last night. I’m very pleased with the effect, guessing about 10mg with a very relaxed and content effect. Slept in this morning

All seems well, plants seem happy and healthy, no evidence of bugs beyond the f$&cking moths that like to chill on the leaves. Panalawi is throwing some pretty pistils, she’s firing up

Dry cabinet running new code, and ready to go back into the shed. I’m thinking that 907 may be getting chopped before September is over. Just want to be fully prepared and turn everything on no stress. Shed is all cleaned out and prepared to receive the upgraded dry machine.

[ColeLennon]

Those girls are getting massive. I like the shadow of the pic. You can really see the size of those girls.

[FieldEffect]

The 907 is throwing FAT donkey parts. Dense too, the blueberry smell is unbelievable. If I just had that if be happy.

IBG is starting to smell like bazooka joe again. I was so worried I’d not get those phenos but the tribe voted great

Gotta go check in on the Gauntlet now
