Good morning yall!
Still wet here. Where's my boat!

Keef
I'm shutting down a while after this grow but I still have seeds for Frank's Gift.
The hot water extract has a fundamental problem.
Oil and water don't mix and without a carrier the oil will be stuck to the sides of the Sep funnel.
I put some RSO on a paper plate and froze it to make it easier to use and it was still hard to handle without it getting everywhere.
My doses have been pretty easy to measure. I use 10 drops in the morning and another 10 around lunch then a large dose late evening. 40+ drops. Daytime doses are noticeable but not overpowering. Night time well, that's another story. I think you'd call it the crab walk, if that. lol

Morning OFC !--
We got rain coming for the next week or so - maybe 4 -6 inches-
Hollowpoint keep your eyes on that water !
Gloman -I understand what U saying but what if U added clarified butter to that hot water extract ?- Boil it awhile then let it separate?
Hey Ness U up early !- Back in the day I carried weed thru just about every major airport in the states -- Not smuggling just carrying my stash -- I would wash out one those metal Bengay tubes - stand it on end and pour some wax in to fill the cap end -- Pack a baggie of cleaned ready to smoke weed in the tube and roll it back up like the tube was used
Then I rub it down with some the Bengay and throw it in my toiletries bag and travel!--

Let me 'splain about that hot water butter -I know what the Gloman said is true -RSO stick to everything except silicone ?-- I am not a fan of the taste of RSO !-- So I thought using a hot water extract like that would clean up that nasty taste some - That quick wash alcohol extract is gonna bring some water soluable compounds over into your RSO -
I thought using some oil ( clarified butter or coconut / olive oil )--and hot water like a solvent pair would clean up the extract by removing all the water soluable from the extract - Make some cooking oil for edibles and stuff ?
More Coffee and another toke or 2 and I'll be doing alright today!

 

[thegloman]

Keef
Yes. The butter or oil is a carrier. Your cannabanoids will be absorbed in the butter and water will separate out.
Heating it will drive out more water.
I find that when I extract under very cold enviroment, ie In the freezer chest I reduce the bad tasting compounds enuff that it doesn't taste too bad. I still get green but not NEAR as much.

 

[umbra]

Good morning OFC. Gman you know you can filter the green stuff out. Changes the taste considerably

 

[Keef]

Took a nap - Wake and Bake all over again .

Umbra
I need to get a nice vac pump.
I Could make a vac chamber ghetto style but I'm ready for better.

[St_Nick]

Go to Harbor freight. They got nice affordable vacuum pumps there and affordable hydraulic presses too.

[Keef]

Do not go out there !- bout 80 - no wind and moisture condensing on stuff !- RH got to be close to 90 - liquid air
-- Texas congress will be in session until the 27 of May - The house done kicked several MJ bills to the Senate- I know penis head Dan Patrick controls what gets voted on and when is not gonna let much happen - He may just run the clock out without a vote but the pressure is on - I could be perfectly happy if they expanded that mmj law to include a few things like pain and PTSD - I'd be looking good !- If they don't do chit ?- I get set back up --I have to grow so I have medicine so I'll work the Grey area of the market ! The waiting is the hardest part !

Good day OFC

It is a beautiful day. Blue skies and gentle breezes.

Let's get stoned.

 

[Keef]

I'm down with another toke or 2 Burnin1
Wanna see what the runes tell me ?- I don't like it !- I hope it's readable I ain't typing that much !

 

[burnin1]

I tried to tale a pic of my Na'pali Pink . The glare in the background is my light reflecting off of the mylar.

My I-pad takes horrible pics.. or maybe it is just me. lol

 

[burnin1]

I can't read your runes to easily Keef. I hope they are positive and inspirational.

 

[Keef]

Burnin1 - It's all about stand still and wait !- I don't do "wait" very well ! -- Try turning the lights off then take a pic ?

 

[St_Nick]

Never be afraid to try. I think your plant looks great and the more you try the better you get.

 

[Keef]

Where's Hammy ?-- I see another bounce in da house !
