@zephyr

until the sound of the plastic bags incessant crinkling suddenly began to drive me insane.

Yeah. And just the fact that plastic is involved in any way kind of weirds me out. I know those Volcanoes are supposed to be safe and all, but, I mean… Plastic? No thanks.

That was also one of the things that weirded me out about the press and blazing rosin and whatever, is that I’d have to ingest it through this Yocan vape pen thing. There was metal involved and I’d have to plug the pen into my computer to charge it and shit… The whole process weirded me out.

I swear I’m not some paranoid freak! Haha. But I really was just like,”This I stupid. And it’s a pain in the ass. I’m just gonna roll a joint.” I don’t wanna have to plug something into anything just so I can ingest cannabis. A lighter and a paper is a timeless classic that has worked for millennia… haha. Maybe not the lighter part, but some sort of combustion, anyway. Flint, maybe haha…

@zephyr

they would start blasting action movies and dance music on their subwoofer.

That’s funny. That sounds like something I would do if one of my neighbors was irritating me, actually haha. I’m not sure why anybody would be pissed about the sound of a Volcano cranking up, though, especially if you live in SF. That’s just part of the natural soundscape haha! If you don’t like it, don’t live there, asshole!

@iamyou_youareme

there’s so many different ways to consume concentrates these days, it’s kinda overwhelming.

Could you just, like, smear some onto some flower or something? That was what I thought about doing, before I decided that I was just sick of dealing with lugging the press out into my kitchen and back again whenever I thought about making some rosin, making sure the pen was charged etc etc…

I mean…. e-nail… Even the name bothers me haha. “Fucking e-nail… Gimme a break…” haha.

@iamyou_youareme

Sounds like you need to meet up with more growers! My experiences have been positive so far.

I don’t disagree with you, but I’m not sure the dude who bought my press today is somebody that I would wanna spend an extended period of time with haha. He was funny as shit, but I could totally see him breaking down into a religious frenzy after about twenty minutes or so.

I mean, who just acts like,”You know! From the Bible!”? Haha. “Duh! How do you not know what anointing oil is???”

[zephyr]

@iamyou_youareme

I love mine. It’s been rocking almost everyday for five years now, maybe more.

I still have mine and break it out whenever I need it.
I’ve seen volcanoes that have been in service for almost 20 years and still worked perfectly.

@iamyou_youareme

I’ve been thinking about an e-nail

I love the enail because you can use it with your usual bong, bubbler, or dab rig. And you no longer have to use a torch.

@iamyou_youareme

I’ve been thinking about an e-nail, or one of those PuffCo Proxy things, there’s so many different ways to consume concentrates these days, it’s kinda overwhelming. I may just stick to my little dab rig.

Lately, though, I’ve just been taking bong rips… but I hate my little slide/bowl thing - it’s always getting clogged. I need a local glass blower to hook me up with something…

I highly recommend Boro Farms. They’re local and their work is very consistent, well designed, and durable.

I’ve been using their pieces for about 10 years now. I use a center downstem bubbler with a disc percolator for concentrates with an enail, and for bong rips with one of their 14 mil bowls. They make some really nice quartz bowls with built in screens. Very durable.

They even make small bubblers built for use with the puffco proxy and peak.

@minitiger

Could you just, like, smear some onto some flower or something?

That’s probably the best way to do it in terms of the high. Just roll it into your joints or put some on top of your bowl pack. You can put a massive amount of hash or concentrate in a joint.

For a while I was really into dabbing concentrates on the ember of a bowl of flower. (throughout my college years haha.) That is probably one of the strongest delivery methods you can get from smoking cannabis.

A regular bowl works perfectly fine. Works best if you pack a snap of flower and drop a small amount of hash on top as soon as it starts to ember. That way you can get it all on the first green hit. Just drop the hash on the ember and take a rip.

If you pack a large bowl snuff it out (or pass it) right after you take your hit otherwise the hash will just light on fire.

I haven’t smoked like that in a while though. I used to smoke like that when I was still using cannabis recreationally and socially. But taking a massive dose all at once isn’t really suited for long term medical use. it’s also kind of hard on your lungs burning a ton of hash like that because of the lipid and wax content.

For medical use I get better results using small doses as needed so I can stay medicated to prevent spasms and cramps from my muscular condition.

That’s why I eventually moved on to vaporizing concentrates and flower at lower temperatures below 500 degrees.

Lower temperatures are also conducive to getting more of the cannabinoids into your system in their non combustion activated forms. You can get effective delivery of the cannabinoid compounds at temperatures at low as ~350 degrees. The cannabinoids are basically mixed with the terpenes, which volatilize at very low temperatures. The volatilized terpenes carry the cannabinoids and essentially act as the delivery method for those compounds. That’s why we get such profoundly different effects from cannabis depending on its terpene profiles, even when cannabinoid contents are roughly comparable.

Of course smoking has merit for medicinal use too-
combustion is still the recommended intake method that is prescribed specifically for regulating intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma.

I sometimes need to medicate with traditional bong rips for this reason.

@zephyr

dabbing concentrates on the ember of a bowl of flower

That local boro farms glassblower makes these specifically for that purpose. instagram link

It’s a neat idea although I think the design is a little excessive, as well as their dose in the demonstration video. A lot of that rosin just melted straight through.

[TopShelfTrees1]

My god…. Wish I knew this! A year ago I had the money too! I’ve needed a damn press since our shit got jacked a couple years back, but they are damned expensive now that they have really caught on! I would have shelled out for the most likely stupid shipping at that price! Damn! I miss all the good shit

[minitiger]

@zephyr

That’s probably the best way to do it in terms of the high. Just roll it into your joints or put some on top of your bowl pack. You can put a massive amount of hash or concentrate in a joint.

Yeah, but I just kinda got like,”Well if I’m gonna pack a bowl or roll a joint, what do I need the rosin for?” I mean, if the flower alone isn’t gonna get me super-high, I should probably just grow some better weed haha. And the flower always does get me super-high, so… I understand where you’re coming from, though.

@TopShelfTrees1

Wish I knew this! A year ago I had the money too!

I actually didn’t post it on Craigslist until like two months ago; I just talked about how I was thinking about selling it for like a year or two haha. And I didn’t try to sell it here because I don’t think that’s allowed. Plus, it just seems tacky. I wouldn’t have done that even if it was allowed.

I can also assure you that there’s no way in hell I woulda gone through the trouble of shipping it haha, even if you were willing to pay extra for it. That just sounds like a total hassle. I’d rather it just sit there than have to drive it to my local UPS store and deal with shipping labels and all that haha.

When my girl told me that somebody’d contacted her about buying it, I thought about, like,”Do I really want them to come to my house?” But then I thought,”Well I definitely don’t feel like lugging that thing around and meeting him in a parking lot somewhere, so, yeah, just tell him to come here.” Even that felt like a hassle haha.

[minitiger]

Just a quick note here about the Hashplant D: either @nube or @iamyou_youareme (maybe both of them) asked me if she had that Chem D “dumpster” smell going on and she absolutely does. It took me a while to get around to trimming her, but I burped the jars for the last time this morning before the “final seal” and was like,”Blech!” I actually, out loud, went,”Blech!” and turned my head away when I put my nose in the first jar haha, wasn’t expecting to be olfactorily assaulted like that at all. She doesn’t smell good.

And that’s exciting haha.

It’s kinda funny, but the past couple weeks I’ve been asking my girl,”What’s that smell? It smells like rotting chicken in a pile of steaming garbage or something.” I kept getting occasional whiffs of just gnarly-smelling shit whenever I was sitting in the backyard, to the point where I took a hose and a bunch of bleach to the insides of our garbage can and recycling bin and shit last week haha. Now I wonder if it was just that weed…

It wasn’t the weed (I don’t think???), they needed to be washed out, but it would be kinda funny if it was that Hashplant D I was smelling and not our dirty-ass trash can.

[TopShelfTrees1]

Nice! Making me want her even more now

[minitiger]

It’s not my intention to make you want her more haha, I’m just observing. We’ll wait and see how she smokes.

I will say that the nugs are not impressive-looking at all, but I think that probably has more to do with the less than ideal conditions she (and everything else) was growing in than it does the genetics. It was just too hot and dry here for the last six weeks or so of flower for me to feel comfortable saying,”Yes, this is an accurate representation of Hashplant D.” The flowers are all super-“hairy,” kind of weird-looking, not very frosty etc etc…

They do, however, have the total “this is an 88G13HP cross” color. I can’t explain it better than that, but I know it… haha.

[minitiger]

Mother’s Milk #31 (Nepali OG x Appalachia) smoke report.

Looks:

Smell: I can’t place it, other than it smelling like good weed. I asked my girl what she thought it smelled like and she said,“Grapes,” which, no, it does not smell like grapes haha. There is something very familiar about it, though, and also kind of “exotic.” Not grapes, though, at all haha, I dunno what my girl was talking about.

Taste: Also a little “exotic,” almost like maybe a chai tea or something? I dunno if I’d call it milky, but there’s definitely a creaminess to it, I think, but also a sorta “faraway spices in faraway lands” kind of thing going on. I smoked this out of a clean bong yesterday, clean tube, clean bowl, clean everything, just because I wanted to be accurate here, so I’m sorry that I’m not being accurate haha.

Effects: Just a little backstory: I got a bunch of samples of different things a while back, more than I was expecting, and the Mother’s Milk #31 was one of them. When I saw it, I was like,“Eh… Okay, that’ll probably be the last one I try,” but for whatever reason I decided yesterday to get into this one second, after the Blue Dream that I’ve been raving about on other people’s threads. I actually like this one more than I liked the Blue Dream.

It kind of has that sorta “down then up” (yes, down then up, not up then down) high that I really like. The first 25 minutes or so, I feel pretty groovy, stoned, I can feel my eyes sorta drooping, happy etc etc. But after that it gets a lot more “cerebral” (I was writing this report in my head 45 minutes after smoking it last night haha), more “functional” (even though the initial comeup is still plenty functional), maybe more active, whatever. I really dig it.

The only thing I didn’t like about this one is that I’ve got a tooth that absolutely needs to be pulled, finally made an appointment with a dentist, going to see her tomorrow. This weed really seemed to make the pain in my tooth much more acute for a while, but that could just be because it was the end of the day; seems like the pain sorta builds up throughout the day no matter what I’ve drank and smoked. I was kind of hoping that the Mother’s Milk would have some sort of pain-killing elements to it (not for any specific reason, I haven’t read about either Nepali OG or Appalachia being something like the SSDD or whatever), but yeah, I did notice that.

Also, I’ve been sleeping reeeeaallllyyyyy shitty lately, waking up after only two hours then laying in bed for two or three hours, then kind of dozing off here and there, waking up again… It’s annoying. But I got the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a whiiiiiile last night. So even though I wouldn’t describe this weed as smoking “lazy” at all, it does seem like it facilitates a very good night’s sleep. It’ll probably be my go-to for “evening weed” until it runs out, even though it seems perfectly fine for smoking all day, too.

Anyway, yeah, I love this one. I’ve seen other people online growing this cut, but I can’t really remember what they had to say about the end result. I was even thinking about that last night, like,“Did their grow logs just fizzle out? Did they not like the weed? Why can’t I remember…?” I’d totally grow this cut out, though. Hits the spot for sure.

[TopShelfTrees1]

Very nice. Great report as always

[Greasy]

@minitiger

I actually like this one more than I liked the Blue Dream.

I fully agree with you on that take. I got the same set of samples, and the MM 31 really seems to be a good anytime smoke in moderation. Not too lazy to smoke in the day, and relaxing enough to smoke in the evening. I find that if I don’t smoke in moderation it can put me down. I don’t know about you, but I finished all my samples I always knew I was an amateur grower, and those samples really confirm it haha!

How did you like the Church? I found that one to be really fantastic daytime stuff, but like the MM 31, good all the time. I think if I had to pick one of those three to grow it would be the Church!

[TopShelfTrees1]

@Greasy

I always knew I was an amateur grower, and those samples really confirm it haha!

This is how I feel EVERYTIME my mentor shows up with a box full of mason jar goodies! My bud gets a back seat for a month or so

[HolyAngel]

Love the report! I think I might be getting my hands on that cut soon too so this is super helpful. My wife wanted Mother’s Milk again so you know how that goes lol

@minitiger

Also a little “exotic,” almost like maybe a chai tea or something? I dunno if I’d call it milky, but there’s definitely a creaminess to it, I think, but also a sorta “faraway spices in faraway lands” kind of thing going on.

That creamy flavor with the spice is exactly what the two mamilk F2’s I ran tasted like, and that Milky Way girl I had too. Another unique flavor from Bodhi ^^ Literally last night I just found one of the last jars of Milky Way I had stashed away from 7 months ago and been smoking on it this morning and was thinking the EXACT same thing just before reading your review! Small world

@minitiger

It kind of has that sorta “down then up” (yes, down then up, not up then down) high that I really like. The first 25 minutes or so, I feel pretty groovy, stoned, I can feel my eyes sorta drooping, happy etc etc. But after that it gets a lot more “cerebral”

Yeah I found this in the F2’s too so that’s good to hear I generally don’t like the up-then-down high’s so this is good. I really like and usually prefer plants that are all of one of those things. Plants that are all up, or all down. I’ll take the down then up though. That NorthStar #4 I have is like that. Few hits and be drooling into the distance for a few minutes, then its time to go do stuff lol but I never wanna feel like I need to go do stuff, or at least be functional, and then 30-60min or whatever later is a crash. Either put me down if you’re gonna put me down, or lets get high

@minitiger

I’ve been sleeping reeeeaallllyyyyy shitty lately, waking up after only two hours then laying in bed for two or three hours, then kind of dozing off here and there, waking up again… It’s annoying. But I got the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a whiiiiiile last night

I know you said the herb helped, also hope thats a thing as we could use it here but in general, you could try taking some extra magnesium? Assuming its not temperature or audio related or something, they make some magnesium gummies that are usually at walgreens/cvs that would likely help you sleep through the night. My wife has been on them for awhile as she says she has issues falling and staying asleep and she says it made a big difference. To the point that I started trying them to see if there was any difference. And there was. I usually only take one instead of the two or three or whatever the bottle says, right before or ~30min before bed, and I’ve definitely been sleeping straight through the night now a lot more often and a lot better than I have been for the last year or so+.

[HolyAngel]

@Greasy

How did you like the Church? I found that one to be really fantastic daytime stuff

I wanna hear more on this one. I’ve been hearing words like narcotic and whatnot attached to it… I’m getting ready to flower it out but I’m not too excited for it at the moment.

[ramblinrose]

I found the MM31 equally remarkable - but did not find it functional at all! Tried it later in the night and it had the euphoric weighted blanket feeling while receiving a head massage. Very blissful. It’s a beast of a plant too! Big stretcher, big OG leaves. Definitely got a creamy thing initially, and then yea some sorta earthyness… will have to think on it like spices / tea.

[minitiger]

@Greasy

the MM 31 really seems to be a good anytime smoke in moderation. Not too lazy to smoke in the day, and relaxing enough to smoke in the evening.

For sure. It’s great weed.

@Greasy

I don’t know about you, but I finished all my samples

Haha, dude, I’ve barely even gotten into them yet. I’ve only tried the Blue Dream and the Mother’s Milk so far. I haven’t been smoking much lately, for a variety of reasons, but that MM has fully made me be like (rubbing hands together),”Ohhhh, okay, that’s right! Time to get into those samples! I love smoking weed!” haha.

The weed from my last grow was so disappointing, as far as just my enjoyment of the smoke is concerned, that I think I got turned off for a little bit. But I’m definitely motivated to blaze more now haha.

@Greasy

always knew I was an amateur grower, and those samples really confirm it haha!

Haha! I’ve already mentioned to the appropriate party that I’ve been a little humbled. Not that I ever thought I was some sorta Master Grower or anything, but yeah…

I do think something that’s been a little illuminating is that there really IS a sorta “keeper” status thing. I mean, I dunno. I feel like maybe my judgment’s been a little fucked because of how much I disliked most of the stuff from the last grow; like, it’s been so long since I smoked some weed I really enjoyed, maybe I’m overreacting? Haha. But yeah, both the Blue Dream and the Mother’s Milk have been very good, looking forward to getting into the rest of that stuff.

@Greasy

How did you like the Church?

Psssshhhh… Again, I haven’t tried it yet. Which is so stupid! That was the whole point of getting these samples! All I wanted were the BAH’s! Haha. I really loved the Bandaid Hazes I grew, though, so I’m sure it’ll be good. I’ll check it out pretty soon.

Did you notice any actual “church” smells after smoking it? I usually blaze outside, just because I like being outside haha, but I was thinking I might smoke that one inside just to see if there’s any of that sorta lingering “incense” smell afterwards.

Anyway, yeah, I’m stoked to check out the rest of those things.

[TopShelfTrees1]

Guess I gotta pop those mothers milk beans sooner than later. Nice!

[HolyAngel]

She should have churchy/incense smells even in the bag from what I’ve been hearing

[minitiger]

@HolyAngel

That creamy flavor with the spice is exactly what the two mamilk F2’s I ran tasted like, and that Milky Way girl I had too.

Ah, okay, good to know. Sometimes I don’t trust my judgment as far as flavors are concerned, just because I smoke so many cigarettes, good to know I wasn’t “wrong” haha.

I do wanna get into the Mother’s Milk earlier in the day at some point soon, though, before I’ve smoked like a pack of cigs, just to see what else I might be able to pick up flavor-wise.

@HolyAngel

I’ll take the down then up though.

Yeah, that sorta high is what I always think of when I think of Chemdawg and her hybrids, where it’s just crushing and your knees buckle and you’re like,”Shit… I gotta sit down…” but then thirty minutes later you get up and it’s like,”Party tiiiiime!!!” haha. The Mother’s Milk seems to be a “lighter” (and IMO more enjoyable) version of that.

@HolyAngel

but I never wanna feel like I need to go do stuff, or at least be functional, and then 30-60min or whatever later is a crash.

I know. I fucking hate that.

@HolyAngel

I know you said the herb helped, also hope thats a thing as we could use it here but in general, you could try taking some extra magnesium?

I’m not sleeping well because I’m drinking like a motherfucker again. That’s the only reason. When I don’t drink (or only drink a little), I sleep fine. I know what’ll help me sleep better: quit drinking! haha.

And moving forward, for everybody here: just assume I’m pretty drunk whenever I’m commenting on threads and posting and stuff, even if it’s like 9am.

@ramblinrose

I found the MM31 equally remarkable - but did not find it functional at all!

Really? That’s interesting. How long did you grow yours before you chopped? Maybe that had something to do with it? I dunno.

@ramblinrose

Definitely got a creamy thing initially, and then yea some sorta earthyness… will have to think on it like spices / tea.

Wellllll, you know… Grow mediums and all that. I feel like my soil mix imparts a very specific flavor to everything I grow that I kind of have to pick through and be like,”Okay, what am I tasting here that’s the weed and what’s from the soil mix?” So the “spices” thing could just be coming from the mix of the person who grew that Mother’s Milk.

Again, I dunno haha. I’m pretty surprised you found it to be unfunctional, though. I did multiple things that I’ve been putting off for too long after I blazed it.

[Greasy]

@HolyAngel

I wanna hear more on this one. I’ve been hearing words like narcotic and whatnot attached to it… I’m getting ready to flower it out but I’m not too excited for it at the moment.

I don’t find it to be narcotic at all. I think maybe it’s described that way because the come down leaves me feeling very relaxed. It’s a solid 2 hour high to it that I find to have almost no body effects and an uplifting mental state. I did have the experience of overindulgence and got a more heavy tired feeling on the come down, but like I said before it’s very much up weed for me. I got my hands on some more of it and have been smoking it daily in the afternoon. I really like it because it has no raciness to it. It actually took me a bit to get used to it, as at first I was like this weed doesn’t even do anything, I just feel more awake, but the more I smoke it, the more I can tap into its more subtle uplifting effects
