Methyl hydrate method…1.5 gallon wash using roughly a pound of shake and trim…still have to purge…but looks effin’potent!!! Obviously oil is heavier than buds…thinking this is probably about 2 ounces

Looks good, I still have my alcohol sitting in a liter jar on my desk waiting to be extracted, must be a month now lol. I must stop applying LITFA to everything connected to growing weed lol.

By far one of the most useful tools in a growers toolbox…LITFA! some of my coworkers are just getting into the game…I tell them LITFA and they dont understand. They think plants need 24/7 attention…one guy washed out 10 of the Afghani x bl seeds.

Yeah when I started growing inside the first time after coming to Canada, I was all over the seedlings, checking them 20 times a day lol. Now they stand more chance of dying from being ignored 
l killed a purple Kush auto seedling 3 weeks ago forgetting to water it 
3 others pulled through, they were all laying on the soil gasping for a drink.

I was just about to say that I’m going to take a break from growing until I get my drinking under control…but maybe I’ll just stop drinking 
.
I seem to be in a pretty shitty pattern. Friday night and saturday get wasted, maybe drink sunday, depending on how rough I feel…recover Monday and Tuesday, clean up whatever mess I made over the weekend on wednesday, chill Thursday and we’re back to Friday. This cycle repeats. I’m very frustrated with myself…but at least I can see there’s a problem.
The journey to recovery begins today.

At least you see the pattern and recognize its causing you a problem, that’s the biggest hurdle.
I go through these drinking patterns as well, I am currently just drinking a beer a night since last Sunday, gone off the wine atm, stopped 3 weeks ago completely, as I wanted a rest from it as well. I am getting into a boring routine with the wuflu, started reading books again this morning, got about 4 sitting next to the bed, that have been sitting there for a couple of years now.
Just go with the flow and dont pressure yourself to much bud.

Good luck to you @Tappy
I quit and it was a…process. Lots of trial and error. I’d be happy to share my experience if you think it would be helpful.

I’ve been sober for 10 years this month. I would drink a bottle of hard liquor a day in my glory days. I was military so we went hard when at home and deployed.
I replaced alcohol with something else. You need a habit to replace drinking. Like hiking or fishing or running. I replaced my drinking with horrible workouts and long distance running. I love pain in a sick way so it worked out better for everyone.
Get a trigger to replace your drinking trigger. Like if you come home and drink right away, don’t. Put out your fishing pole, hiking boots or running shoes and get rid of all booze in the house. I would say to myself, “put those fucking shoes on and run you drunk.” I struggled for a few years, but once I made the decision…I knew. It was over.
Also, it is a good idea to go to an AA meeting. I went for one year but still use what I learned. AA gives support but also has a lot of tips to keep you sober. I would at least get the AA book and read it. It will give you a start.

Man that’s rough. Sounds like my 20’s 
was damn near same exact process. Wish I had something helpful to tell you for it. It’s definitely a struggle though and the struggle is real. You got this though, I have faith in ya.
For me, herb massively cuts down my need to drink. Being stoned pretty much kills any desire I have to drink at all. So I don’t usually. When I couldn’t smoke for a couple years I was a massive alcoholic and gained like 40lbs just from beer and whiskey alone. Smoking again has me back down to my normal weight and I’ve had maybe 2 beers since 2020 started.
Working out and/or Cardio may be a good aversion to it, just have to kinda try some things and see what works for you to stay off of needing-that-next/first-drink urge. If you need any other hobbies instead I can (shamefully) recommend fish tanks, Saltwater or freshwater-Planted. You’ll have your hands full between that and growing and you literally won’t have time for anything else… or money for that matter
Anyways, sending best wishes/vibes you get things straightened out how you want and can focus on what you need to

DLA8…topped itself naturally. Hoping to get 2 nice, solid buds… @Dyad

Mendocino madness…not the prettiest plant, but smells good and has decent resin production. Best thing is that it’s not making rock hard buds, so I can let it go for 10+ weeks with no worry of it getting bud rot.

One of four UFS18…classic baseball bat bud.
Not sure how, but I seem to have N toxicity?..I’m going to let the 4 of them go as long as I can. @50State
…aaand like everything in the closet, its snagged some of that freakshow pollen in the air.
Uncle festers freakshow?

My UFS is starting to really fill out now. You are right she is a bat. I had to train her down in the stretch.
I can’t wait to try the smoke.

If you’re not finding the skunk smell right away, it will probably come out in the cure. I remember one in particular smelled super skunky after the cure…it hit very well, tasted great, excellent bag appeal!

So far just one male outside that has a real skunk smell. Still looking for a lady for him.
