Slick1's kick in the ass grow

Oh for my edible, but if I just need infused coconut oil, I’ll just do everything at once, then split a portion into a topical.

I use the vegan capsules for supplements, they make sealing ones for oils. Then I use a PTFE pipette and fill them by hand. It’s tedious but I can make a ton while watching a.movie and have a supply for months in the freezer

Something like that was what I was thinking and being able to freeze is a big benefit. Even with capsules I gotta max out my limited mathematical skills to try and hit 5 mg per capsule.

You might want to extract first and then infuse. Just for dosing, like squish rosin or make hash, so you know your starting with a gram of x % move the decimal right one spot and you have the milligrams. Divide by 5 and you have that many doses of 5 mg each

That’s definitely more scientific than I was going to do lol. My plan was to use an edible calculator to figure out how many doses, lay out that many caps, and drop one drop at a time into all of them and hope it spread out right :laughing:

Ok, better way. So each 0 capsule is .6ml

Buy a gram of dispo shatter, say it’s 80% that’s 800 mg of THC. Divide by 5, that’s 160, so you need 160 capsules. 160 x .6 is 96ml. Subtract 1 ml for your gram of shatter. So 95 ml coconut oil plus your gram of shatter will give you 160 size 0 capsules at 5mg each.

Now that is nice! Impressed about how clearly it is laid out!! thanks!

I used to make alot of carts using terpenes as a carrier. I had a few who wanted custom ratios of CBD and THC, so I’d buy shatter and CBD isolate and do the math over how many carts I needed. Same thing but diluted more

The closest Jersey has to concentrates is distillate sauce, although that would probably be a great option. I’m trying to use what I have already though cause funds are tight and dispo prices here are insane. Plus I have the same strain in flower that the MCT oil was and it’s perfect for my needs. Like anything else I’ll stress it the whole time and then the end result will probably be fine lol

Dammit out of likes again!

I ball park it, about a cup of oil to a half oz of flowers does me nicely.it juuuust barely covers it all and then I squeeze it out at the end too.

I use an edible calculator that seems close enough if not right on and it gives me the amount of servings. It’s just portioning out a liquid into identical portions that’s intimidating me a little. It’s not the big deal I make it out to be most likely and will work out fine, but this is my method. It’s when I go in super confident that I get in trouble :laughing:

So the leaves on the Chocolate Thai are worse today and I checked my run off which came in at somewhere around 7. It was a definite 7 green compared to the nice even keeled yellow 6 the water went in at so that sucks donkey. Also some red stems going on.

Ghost Rose seems to be on a mission now that I noticed her pretty pistils and the Lavender Frosting essentially mainlined herself at the first node. The main stem going up had that one fan leaf and nothing else going on and the side shoots are growing like I had already topped. Kind of weird, kind of cool. I did her the favor of topping the mutant growth off.

The two Pennywise seeds are 48+ hours and not popped. Can’t remember how long it took for them to germinate last time. I guess if I don’t see something by tomorrow morning I’ll start getting creative.

The guys have given me awesome charts and help. Only problem is I have absolutely no idea how much thd/cbd is in my stuff.

Yeah that’s kind of defeats any kind of charts or calculations going in :laughing:

I’m too much of a lightweight with edibles to take chances so I just use dispensary weed so I know the percentage going in. For my topical though there’s no over doing it so it’s all good in the hood there.

Water a few times with lower pH water. Like 5. It should balance out your soil after 2 or 3 waters

That’s what I was debating after seeing that this morning. She’s still plenty heavy so I can’t soak again yet.

My first log scts sideshow I had high pH in my soil from too much used mushroom compost, my run off was 8.xx… I watered at 4.0 3 times and it was fine after that.

Damn 8 is crazy. I’m still wondering if I also have a potassium deficiency as @JohnnyPotseed suggested, specially with the reddened stems starting but the ph has to be contributing. I’ll hit her with 5.0 next time and take it from there.

Yeah, lots of gypsum in my mushroom mix. I totally didn’t even consider it as I was layering it in there.

I have mushroom bags. The last two were part black and part white. Are they done when all white or all black?

This came through my notifications so I’m not sure if it you were asking me or if it just showed up cause it was in my thread. I’ve never used them but @anon93244739 would know.
