Wash the dirt off the roots. Boil them and drink as tea. Highly medicinal.

It will be a milder version of what that particular cultivar has to offer. Most likely reduces inflammation and calms the nerves. I recently read about a Pakistani cultivar that dissolves excess plaque in the heart valves.

I have a whole 1/2 gallon ball jar of roots. Wasnāt sure how much to use. I dried them for a month or so before jarringā¦
@Greandal for some reason i thought you had a high male %. Not the case.

@Upstate Dehydrate the roots, then pulverize them in a food processor. Get some empty tag bags and fill the bags with the powder. Begin with one tablespoon per tea bag and increase slowly toward your tolerance level upon each brewing batch.

Whatever it takes, man. Add that to the long list of pain relievers. The more the better. On another noteā¦ I was listening to a podcast interview that you might dig. Itās an interview with Angus from The Real Seed Company. He weaves in world history, archery and ganja. I giggled when he said Mongolian archers would smoke ganja to āsteady the handā for a more accurate shot. Check it out:

Most Colombian and Mexican landrace strains have little smell to them as compared to say, OG Kush or GDP which absolutely reek. Actually I do not get much off of them until they are well cured in paper bags for at least a month. I have 2 Colombian Gold gals under lights re-vegging now, and they do not smell much, even with some over-ripe buds still on them. Now, I am nose blind to this stuff, as I always have weed curing and growing in the house or greenhouses. And I smoke a lot of it. Like when I smoked cigarettes, I did not smell cigarette smoke. Now? Holy moly, I can smell a person smoking a cigarette 3 blocks away. Then again, the last time I grew Ghost OG I could smell it a quarter mile away from here it was so strong. That was one 3 foot plant! Also some Colombians will not be covered in trichomes, even way late this time of year. But some I have grown became heavy with trichomes by this time of year, especially Punto Rojo. Also as with the Mexican landraces, when well cured, the terpenes are way way different than they were in the old bag weed we had in the 1970s. Far more floral notes to them as well as pine and herbs. I do not dry them in the sun and it (for the most part) does not get nearly as hot or humid here as in SW Mexico or Colombia. After I tumble the buds into cold sifted hashish next month after drying and a long cool cure in paper bags, the real terpenes and flavors come out. Actually that starts when they finish curing in paper bags, as they are now in the back room here. My back room currently smells of Jamaican, Colombian, Humboldt, and South African weed. I go back there just to take in the smell this time of year.

I have found the same thing. None of the females really smell. Just an earthy, dirt smell. Maybe a little spice to it. Not a lot of trichomes. 19 weeks into flower they are still about 90% clear. The seeds are mature now, but she is still a few weeks away from a head stash harvest.

@Papalagā¦The hash oil works incredibly well. I know first hand it works Better than morphine for pain ( no addiction). I canāt function under its influence, however. My goal is to eventually find a Sativa to make oil out of, in hopes of an invigorating effect with some get up and go to it.

I thought of trying it.( I just canāt bring myself to do it. )Taking fresh( still wet) plant matter and separate the resin. Not supposed to get high off the resultant oil, but still has all medicinal properties. Good way to help cancer patients that donāt want to get high.
Do you recall if alcohol can be used to separate the resin? I Seem to recall thatās how to do it @Papalag
Do you know?

I start by making tincture ( freezer style ) then I do purge with double boiler
Freezer method
Take Everclear or any alcohol over 80 proof. Consumable must be able to get ingested or drink it
Next freeze plant matter and alcohol separately for two days ,if you use a metal strainer freeze that too. the reason for freezing separately is to eliminate as much chlorophyll and green color as possible place weed and alcohol in mason jar to cover shake vigorously for three minutes strain separate refreeze for 3 to 5 hours repeat 2to3x a day up to five days . although Tincher can be used after one , it gets stronger the longer you do it . I find no reason to go beyond the five days hope this helps .
Purge all the alcohol out you have oil
Donāt use a gas stove keep air moving around keep well ventilated we donāt want to go boom
I use an electric stove and I keep a fan going windows open
