Hello all:
Just another day in the Foreigner neighborhood.
Iāve decided I will no longer be adding perlite to my promix. I will use the promix straight out of the bag.
Partially because it may just be a conceit that I āmake my own mix.ā
Also because I donāt like mixing it up. Itās a pain in a small space and on a balcony.
Also Iām out of perlite 
On another note I would like to thank the following people:
@Mr.Sparkle
@Grease_Monkey
@smokenhike
@CADMAN
This thanks is for a reason Iām not ready to discuss quite yet but it begins with this:
Have a lovely day and all the best

Day 44 -
Good day all.
I find it quite amazing that the two different phenos of the Blue Tara came from the same stock.
One is light blue/purple with big chunky nugs at the top of the branches making her top heavy and leaning outwards. Her stems are fully and completely deep red. Here she is:
The other is a nice green colour with nugs that go all the way down the branches. It stands straight up and the stems are green. Whoever said LEDs lack penetration is full of shit:
They both look like very nice plants in their own right but not at all like each other. Iād figured thereād be at least a similarity, but nope. I wouldnāt believe it if I didnāt know.
The OGers are much closer in appearance. One stretched a little more than the other but they are both stocky dense plants with big fat colas. They both got a little beat up by too much fertilizer which is interesting because Iāve been feeding them very lightly.
Here they are:
As before, I wait impatiently for them to be finished. Iām going to give them another week and then start checking the trichs for real. The last time was just for show.
All the best
EDIT: Iām sorry to report that I got my pollen in the mail. But itās too late. Iāve missed my pollination window. Now the project is dead. Iāll save the pollen for another go but itās just a shame because I had high hopes. $@&!

Day 45 -
I believe I was visited by aliens during the dark cycle. They must have exposed my plants to x-rays, gamma rays, sugar rays and delta waves.
Do you think theyāll be ok?
Just kidding. Just bored messing around with my green glasses.
All the best

No I didnāt see anything.
If the ikea parking lights are on I might as well be on the surface of the sun.
I can however see into my neighbours apartments. I bought a monocular.

It is cold and grey and dreary so it feels like a butter day:
Start with 8g northern lights
Then into a 1/2 cup of butter (plus a little more butter)
Into the vacuum bag
Into the boiling water for an hour.
Everything resting until cool enough to handle.
The resulting butter goes through a nylon sieve bag until we get this;
Pretty perfect. Iāll have to add just a touch more butter to the cookie recipe to even it out but thatās about as good as it gets.
Iāve eaten too much of this liquified butter already. Ssshhhhhhh!
Iāll get the cookie process up when Mrs Foreigner finds time to help me
Cheers for looking.

I need to make some brownies again, finished the last lot off 2 days ago.
I fucked my neck up yesterday been stuck in my lazy boy recliner since yesterday afternoon, last night I did a big lump of RSO from my latest batch, first time I tried it. I was still pretty messed up this morning, 
but the pain was reduced enough to allow a bit of sleep 
The way you make that has to be the easiest version I have seen

There are many advantages to using this method.
The butter stays nice and clean.
There are fewer smells.
Itās clean - i bet you could make sugar cookies with them and not have people taste it.
You just need the vacuum sealer and youāre set.
It makes awesome butter. Iām looking at it going ābut I have an appointment this afternoon ā
Eat it by the spoon! Itās good for you! Tastes good on its own.
A tsp is about 40mg

Going to try this, looks like a nice way to do it. I do something kind of similar with a Mason jar in an instant pot.

Making me want to try making sous vide butter again. Aside from my bags sometimes annoyingly floating and having to make them sink with various objects it seems like a pretty simple method. I can never really get it strong enough though. Maybe I should stop using old shake from bags over the months and just toss in some buds :p. Havenāt settled on a proper decarb time and temp yet either. With this method do you put it in the oven first or is the boiling water/baking the cookies itself enough to convert the thca? Maybe decarbing then baking could be my issue, making cbn cookies? High thoughts

To decarb in the Water at 212Ā° is on the low side but it works. These cookies also get baked at 340Ā°C for 12 minutes.

What do you think about doing decarb and infusion in one step vs separately ?
I am lazy and usually do them both at the same time, but the internet seems to think doing them separately will create a stronger product.

Iām my setup there is a decarb of the material/extraction In the butter. There is a 2nd decarb when the cookie gets baked.
I ate some without cooking yesterday Iām still feeling it today. Itās intense

I find the boil in the bag to be sufficient but I do think that a short cookie bake improves the quality of the high.
The vaccumm sealer makes everything easier. I probably wouldnāt use it for large batches.
I have eaten raw butter. Good. Iāve eaten the
Cookie made with that same butter. Also good
