It brings me great pleasure to take ideas and plans out of my head and turn it into a physical product. Been working on this all week. @Gonzo you asked and you shall receive lol.
Are those salves (ointments)?
I haven’t been in any dispensaries, so I’m only guessing that they sell salves with THC, and that yours are destined for the local dispensary. Is that right?
Yeah, my first attempt at it
I wish!! No this is just a project to share with the friends.
The packaging looks store-ready.
Packaging and labeling is probably my favorite part of all this
That is one professional operation brother! So cool man. Can’t wait to try one of those out, I bet it’ll be better than anything I’ve bought from Lazarusnaturals. You’re the man homie
You just say the word and I’ll get some to ya!
Dude, that’s awesome.
Two things I’ve learned to make smooth consistent salves are:
-
Melt your ingredients in reverse order of their melting points i.e. beeswax > Shea butter > jojoba oil to prevent degradation of oils
-
Wait until the mixture cools some and becomes more viscous and opaque before pouring. This prevents cracking, “shrinkage” in the container, and helps ensure a smooth, not grainy texture.
I’ve only made cannabis ones once for my mom’s knees and elbows mostly cbd. I asked her if it helped and she said, no, but her elbows are really smooth
I think it turned out ok. I have plans to add more beeswax to stiffen it up a little more, but a couple people told me they liked it how it is. I gave out some samples earlier this evening. Hopefully the feedback is good.
That’s basically what I told everyone. Worst case you hydrate your skin a little bit and smell good
Good morning brotha
Man you’ve been busy, Awesome job!
"Rubs into both shoulders this stuff works great! Unable to lift a can of soup for hours after "
Morning OGs
In the kitchen making more topicals today. Feedback on the first round was very good.
Got the skunk1 f4s transplanted this morning. Watered them in and turned the lights down to keep the shock low. I gotta got check the outdoor plants in a bit. @BRMTreefarmer
Outdoor plants update. One was a male, got rid of him. The other two a female, I moved them inside the fence. Need to get that straightened out ASAP.
I pressed some of the Royal Procession @darkillusion looks very nice. It came out very sappy, put it in the fridge to solidify some.
Morning OGs . Figured I’d post these bud shots here too.
Purple marmalades from Solfire
Greenpoint max AC
Good morning brotha
When they getting chopped?
Damn that looks good, I bet it goes great with the morning coffee!
Very cool,The bees need all the help they can get. Looking forward to seeing how the beehives turn out.
Do you build the screens inserts too?
Probably next week on day 60 ish they’re gonna be fast ones.
I’m buying most everything pre built. The comb frames I might have to assemble, but it just nailing wood together.
The royal Procession rosin is nice. I’m calling it kushy cuz it smack the living snot out of you
I’ve only pressed some of the #2, the #3 and 4 are untouched in grove bags, and and the #1 is still hanging up waiting for me to trim and bag it.
Nice!
Sweeet!
Did you think of whats going to get popped next?
I’m thinking of what going to get popped next. Leaning more towards some kush crosses to get a harvest in between the Lambsbread (21weeks left of flower).
“It’s spinal”
That’s exactly what the first one feels like
