Club 600

[JimmyT]

My best grows per watt have always come from a 600 on a mover... I'm trying to beat it now with a vertical setup, but I don't think I can.

I've been meaning to ask someone who's used light movers. My question is how many seconds (1-60) do you keep the mover when it reaches the end of one side? I'm trying to figure out what would be the most effective. For the past year, I've had it continuously moving from one side to the other without any delay merely to minimize heat when it's stationary. What are your thoughts?

I know someone on here made lollipops and other hard candies with cannabutter and I was wondering, if that person could help me out and let me know the recipe they used. I dont remember who it was but any info from anyone on the process of making lollipops and such would be nice. Would be something nice to give friends and family at the holidays. I will be making some butter soon, hopefully it turns out really good, it will have trim from several strains in it, should be an interesting buzz. Need to get a slow cooker...

That's how I made butter. I put mine on high to melt the butter... I meant to turn it down to low, but forgot. Left it on high for like 6 hours. Reduced the hell out of the butter and it was SOOOOOOO strong. And I only used fan leaves and stems, no frost at all.

Just keep the heat under 350 F, and you should be good to go after a few hours and a some stirring.

And I use the crockpot for my butter too. Like dude said, start it on high to get it warm quick and melt the butter and then turn down to low. The time you let it simmer for is debatable and I think it really comes down to personal preference. I like to start mine in the morning and let it simmer all day and then I strain it and stick it in the fridge in the evening. I've done it in the crockpot anywhere from 6-12 hours and only difference I noticed between batches was color of the butter. The longer it went, the darker it got. It didn't seem to have much effect, if any on the potency.

Difference between mine and some other people's on here is that I put water in the crockpot with the butter which then separates when cooling in the fridge. If I was making like a pund or more, it would fill my crockpot enough to where I wouldn't feel the need to add water. My crockpot is kind of big.

Now this is just my opinion so nobody get their panties twisted on me here. LOL.

I only simmered my butter for half hour and it's light green and plenty strong enough, 30g's of butter in 6 double choc chip cookies only 1 needed for a good 4-5 hour stone, i've got some chronic trim ready for the pot next i'll let it go on longer this time coz the gear wasn't as strong as the last lot

holy shit medhead thats really shapin up to be a killer op!

lovin the purp hubba bubba too gnomegrown

gals look nice n healthy heads up man! do you have a pic of your grape ape in flower???

Don, if you look back I posted them for you. I don't know how many pages but I posted them last night.

 

[Heads Up]

ghb, for vegging I use a high output t-5. Four tube, four foot, 20k lumens. Two 5600k tubes and two 4100k tubes for a bit of red with the blue. These plants are seriously tight. The casey jones is not more than a half inch or so between nodes and the headband is even closer. Casey is nine inches tall and headband only five. As of yesterday both had eight nodes.

Medhead, two suggestions if I may. The distance from side by side is perfect in between your lights, but the distance from flange to flange looks like it might be a bit much and you might have a bit of a dead spot there. Not really dead but not enough light for the plants to thrive, unless your tables fit exactly under each light. I would shorten the distance from flange to flange to reduce that dead spot in lighting. The other suggestion, rope ratchet hangers instead of that chain. I used chain for over a year and now use these rope ratchet hangers for my lights and it couldn't be easier and quicker to either raise or lower your lights. Other than that, you have a real knock-out set-up going. Very nice.

This butter thing, I have a few questions. What if I'm using dried, cured bud, how much do I need per stick of butter? How would I prepare the bud? Grind it up before putting it into the butter? As for using it in let's say making a cake, I'm not a big brownie fan. If the recipe calls for a stick of butter do I just use a stick of cannabutter instead? How long in general is it until you start to feel the effects of eating it and how long in general does it last?

I've been smoking weed for a looong time, but I have to thank the younger people for expanding my horizons with the different uses of our beloved herb.

from what ive read on the net, and from some videos on you-tube, the numbers that keep coming up are one puond of unsalted butter for every 1 ounce of plant material and twelve hours on low in the crock pot. you can grind it or just put it in as is. me personally i wouldnt want to grind it for fear of losing too much of the trichs. as far as measuring the butter, i plan on finding out how much butter the recipe calls for, and weighing it. then just weigh the canna butter. and i would guess the duration of the effect would depend on how much you use(WEED), or the strain, or how much butter you use after youve figured out how much weed to put in. basically the i figure the first two to four times would be your trail and error period. seeing that everybody is different, and what works for one might need to be tweeked a little by someone else. me personally i have about 4 ounces of trim and ittle popcorn buds. so instead of 4 pounds of butter for four ounces of weed, im gonna do "two" pounds of butter for four ounces of weed. hopefully that should make my first batch pack a punch.




PEACE!!!

Looking to buy a Combo PH/EC/TDC Meter and would like some feedback on Brands and experience. I have been checking out the Hanna Meters but they seem a bit pricey, what do you all suggest? I dont mind spending the money but i am a cheapskate and cant help myself sometimes.

All good info here. 1 stick of butter weighs something like 113 grams so just weigh that much cannabutter and use it in place of the reg butter. That's what I do anyway. If you use trimmings, you want more material per stick of butter since there won't be as much THC in the leaves and stems as the buds. The 4oz of trimmings to 2lbs of butter should be just about perfect depending on the THC levels of the strain you grew. I use 1/4oz of bud per stick of butter and I double the amount of plant material if I use trimmings and my edibles typically are a lot stronger than anything you'd buy at a club. Like 2-3 times as strong but that's how I like them.

As an example, the last batch of butter I made was with Sour Grapes trimmings only and I used 30g of plant material to 2 sticks of butter (1/2lb). It was superb,LOL.

Thanks for the post OB1...please do share your vertical grow with us. As a vertical grower I am very interested to see.
DST

Well, this was my first vertical grow... first hempy grow... first CMH grow... first time using CRFs for nutes... and I screwed up PH big time... but still getting a yield:

I used to do about double this with a 600 on the mover though... but DWC was such a pain in the ass, I'm trying to learn hempy.

I loaned a buddy my 600 HPS, and am using his 400 watt mag ballast to try out the CMH bulb... really nice trich production on this last grow, but I'll only know if the 600 does better after my buddy grows these same strains since I can't anymore.
