i harvested and processed my experimental fim once banana kush from ilgm plant 98 days from germ in a tiny 3x3x6' tent modified with a hole cut in the bottom the diameter of the 15gal grow bag on a bonsai turntable so i could raise the tent approx 18" and running a 150 watt horizontally and 120 watt viparspectra led vertically in a corner.
foxfarm ocean forest potting soil with coco coir, perlite, worm casings added in, like 50/50, ff to my additives. used gh system.
i don't cure and process like anybody else because i have my own method that is the easiest for me.
so after what u smokers or growers would think was a terrible wet trim, because i leave leaves with heavy trichs that won't smother a flower, i hang about two to three days until the outsides are dry and then using my scissors snip them off directly into the chamber of my whole flower decarboxylator, used my ardent nova this time, and i did measure the weight prior to decarbing and the yield was 9.25oz.
when it was hanging i was wondering if it would make 4oz so i was pleased it made 9.25.
idk what the decarbed flowers weigh, i'll know when i stuff my filters for pressing.
since i'm decarbing before pressing i keep the rh on my flowers in the 70 plus range in the frig. even after growers do normal curing there's still lots of weight/moisture trapped deep inside the flowers, the whole flower type decarboxylators pull that out.
since i consume 1600mg of solventless decarboxylated cannabis flower extract daily, i can't tell if smoking decarbed flowers get u more stoned, but they claim it does.
here's the pictures of what's left before pressing. i'll guess 6oz of decarbed flowers which will yield about 20,000mg's of extract or 12.5 days for me at 4/400mg daily.
lots of work to make pills that u no longer feel any effects but u know it's keeping u alive.
i mean i know one of my pills would put an elephant to sleep but after 7 plus years, it's like taking a vitamin pill, no effects.
