I make it for my wife.

It helps a lot with her MS symptoms too.

Thanks for your report, I appreciate it.

Not a cv strain but dr. Who is good for MS in our experience if you can get your hands on that clone. Keep up the good work.
I see why it's so important in your life, It looks like you make decent size batches.
Is that a sort of immersion heater or cooker set up like a double boiler?
I use a DB set up with canola oil heated to around 250 degrees over a hot plate, and drop down towards the end to 220 for the finishing it. Kind of a long drawn out process that take 2 and 3 days from start to finish.
Thx for the heads up on the Dr Who, I'll be on lookout.

6 lvtk day 16 12/12

They were almost to the bottom of the fan.

Supercropped 2 and 6

They all bent fine. No snaps, I split a couple. Nothing significant.
I cropped the crap out of mine in the GH...multiple times, never had any issues.
I got lucky with my indoor one and had a low stretcher, very stout held up good on her own.
Once they stop the stretch and start bulking up, I predict your gonna have one helluva harvest of rock hard buds.

It’s a sous vide machine and a water bath, like a double boiler with nice temp control. The process I use takes about 8 hours start to finish for a unit. I decarb, and extract in the same bag. Saves a lot of time. 1hr by itself in the bag at 203f, and 20 or 30 minutes at 165f with the alcohol in the bag. After filtering I put the alcohol tincture in that Pyrex dish to cook the alcohol off at 160f, that takes the longest. It’s very convenient because I use the same thing for the whole process. Sometimes I wash the material a second time with more alcohol but that doesn’t yield a lot extra for the cost of the everclear.

Those Arcata ghosts will definitely spit out some herms, the real deal trainwreck is not stable.

As far as development, I think capt chesapeake's looked like it was on it's way towards putting out some long spears of frosty buds. If I'm not mistaken that's a seed plant, and from stature probably wasn't sexually mature first day of 12/12.

Been saying it a lot recently but it keeps coming up: to temper expectations, if you're not flowering clones from sexually mature parts of a plant your time in 12/12 is irrelevant.

Trying to prevent this hive mind paranoia, here. In progress updates are cool but let's see a couple folks grow a full pack as described above with Amos' results before the pitchforks come out.

That sounds like a pretty slick method, you happen to have a link to the tek on that?
Do you want cook times or test results?

That person decarbs longer than me but takes it out of the water immediately. I go an extra two steps and make “green dragon” the hot way, and then I cook off the alcohol because it tastes fucking disgusting if you’re takin it straight out of an oral syringe. If it tastes bitter it wasn’t made right, it shouldn’t taste like anything really, nutty and slightly unpleasant, and it should be “liquid” at room temp. It could be thicker or thinner batch to batch, depends on the material.

If you blitz up your material too much, you’ll end up with a small part of the batch that looks gloppy, and that will turn into a hardening epoxy consistency at room temp. It’s because it has tiny particulates of plant matter in it that weren’t filtered off before cooking the alcohol off.

I use a joule sous vide, it works great.

Anyway, you can stop at green dragon if you don’t mind alcohol tinctures.

I make about 100ml of oil per batch. Quality and resin content of the raw material is extremely important. I make a batch only as needed, and keep the “weed flour” ready to go in the freezer and make it about a week before she runs out.

We don’t spray anything on our flowering plants or on our veg plants. I wouldn’t use anything I got from someone else to make it unless I know how they operate and know that they also spray nothing on them, not even neem. The dispos here like to use a bunch of fucking essential oils and shit to spray their plants which I don’t want to then concentrate and ingest.

Thanks man. You guys talking about rso and ms, got me thinking about my buddy's dad. He has it pretty bad, and has for a long time. I'm going to see what I can do for him, thanks again.

Yikes! If trainwreck isn't stable, then cookie wreck isn't stable -- and I just bought a pack of grorilla wreck. :wall:

I wouldn't worry too much, when I talked to Rusty, he had done extensive testing of the TW to the f5 I believe he said of it. It will never be perfectly stable, but I grew cookie wreck out and east coast cookie wreck out(chem and tw genes), never had one hermie on me, indoor small tent grower. I hear it about the GG4 too, but most crosses I see out of that one or even the fems are rock solid. Nothing is really stable these days, so to speak. But just because it says something on paper, in your garden, that may not be the case, just sayin. Lots of hypothetical theory goes on, realistic and gardening experience counts too. imho

To add to what bodyne said, cookie wreck and it's crosses are from a select cookie wreck clone - not an initial female crossing.

He's likely been able to select a stable parent from that pool.

FWIW, I think rusty expected some issues with the chem91 and trainwreck crosses. I got 5 or 6 seeds for most strains. I got 7-9 per pack on those crosses.
