Butane extraction is really used to make dab like oil which would normally need heating for its use. Not so much orally taken oil. If you did want to eat it I’d definitely make sure it’s purged correctly (which you should also make sure of if your smoking it, butane is nasty shit) and decarb as normal.
I could be missin something here i am plannin on using dry ice to make hash then from some of the hash (kief hash or whatever its called) for oil then once its oul form make edibles or caps.

did i say army ever

Diver

mine was in the early nineties



the only reason i got through was a mate had failed it a year before on medical grounds and was retrying it, he really wanted to pass and when they started all the psyc testing he warned me not to star on and finish the race, and to dont forget my mates at the rear of the pack

so a handfull of blokes made it
most of those slackers quit later, and even some marathon runner type cunts couldn't hack it in the end

i know spaz nuts is gonna crap on about gay stuff, now

Never heard of anybody going that way. I’ve heard guys using ice/dry ice then a rosin press. But it’s not really oil. Oil is iso extraction, it’s the leftover water In The extraction that gives the oil It’s viscosity. If heated real low and slow you can turn that oil into a complete solid.

Haha, the way I see it is the risk is worth the reward :roll:
Greenhouse is 4mx3mx2m was just a cheapy just over $200 i think? But a small price to pay for that little bit of security that I didn’t already have :-?:lol:
Yea, have had quite a few. Once every 3 or 4 days I have a good look at all the tops when the suns just coming up.
I also look for any traces of shit and intensely search that area. It’s good when you can remove them early.
Pretty sure those are cabbage butterfly.
I’ve had the odd one of those here and there but the worst is the smaller butterfly that looks like a moth. >:(

smell has been surprisingly low. Itl stink big time if we get a little rain and have no wind!
But I learnt from last years outdoor not to grow skunks and chem strains lol.
I’ve gone for a lot of fruity strains this year like strawberry banana, watermelon zkittles, mango, kandy kush etc. which has helped a lot. Also having half the plants in the greenhouse with the scrubber fan has helped minimise smell for sure.
And no I didn’t see your pics, sounds awesome man!
ive found having different strains is making harvest easy. Not having to harvest everything all at once.
Did you find out if you had a P deficiency with that little bit of purpling going on or just genetics coming into play?
Yea id rather some sort of cover meself just for the added peice of mind.
I probs should of stayed away from the heavier skunk hittin strains but apart from the stank there lookin real nice should be some good smoke.
Far as the P defiency i think it was genetics as 8ve read the green crack tends to throw a little purple from colder weather.

Make your kief using the dry ice, then just use that keif with coco oil to make your caps. Decarb the keif, then add to oil and a small amount of lecithin, heat, freeze, heat then fill caps.

What about turning that hash into butter or coconit oil would that be the same process as decarbin the flower in oven process.
My bad if these questions are abit of the stupid range for ya reza.
Id be happy to keep it as a dry ice hash but wouldn mind turning some of that into oil/butter

Photo won’t load up for me?
I’ll try again soon.
The skunk and chem strains stink! Never grown green crack before but I’ve heard that can be a real smelly strain too!?
I know skunk #1 loves the outdoor sun! Huge colas on her when grown right. Gets some deep purple leaves when cold overnight lows too. Buds didn’t purple for me though.
Sounded like genetics to me too. Rest of the plant was healthy asf. And no other signs of deficiencies or lockout.
Still hand watering jimy? Or have you sorted a little submersible pump out??

yeah but the lowers could go another 2 weeks, pretty much 50% amber on sugar leafs
I don’t go off the sugar leaves when checking trichs..... is 50% amber on sugar leaves too much amber as your thc is just degrading?(unless that’s how you like it?)
Can always harvest the top and drop the light a bit and finish mids and bottoms off :cool:
