a full moon on a clear night is pretty bright, and will illuminate the canopy. as long as the street lights (or whatever) arent brighter than the aforementioned moon u will be fine.

Back 'atcha BushDoc. This is a great environment to share and learn... I've been constantly blown away by the caliber of good hearted folk, too (and good weed!).

Oh buddy - once you get within about 10 feet of that plant you can smell the cherry cheese funk!
Yep - they are the Serious Kali Mist beans. Got 'em from Attitude.

Funny you mention cramps as a time when MBT smokes. I've read that Kali Mist is supposed to be good for that. MMS smoke much more than I do but she says she's making up for lost time since she started later in life. Hard to believe for someone who grew up in Boulder.Ahhhh, so it really is, is it? I thought for a second there you mighta just been being nice lol. Looks like I'll be going back to buy my second set of seeds then!
Kali Mist is a great strain. Only smoked it a couple times through a friend's friend's friend sorta deal, but man, that is jam fuel. I hear ya on the upbeat Sativas-- those are my favorite daytime smoke for sure. Gotta keep the groove going through the day, and indicas do NOT do thatThat's why we smoke 'em at night!
I'm sure whatever you're growing over there it's gonna be something Mrs Medshed likes. Mrs Bobo doesn't hardly smoke at all. Just a little Romulan now and again when the cramps get bad. I guess growing up in a family of stoners, trimming weed since you were 6, and now dealing with ME is enough to keep anyone away from the whacky... except for her brothers-- they could set records for the amount they smoke.
Have a good one, Med!
I mostly go for the tinctures these days and only smoke about once a week at most.
Later,

MBD has told me many times in the past year of growing vortex that she feels it is one of the better strains she has experienced for helping cramps. Medshed sometime when you have time I may want to ask you some tincture questions if that is ok? Since you use them more frequently than others I have talked to. My father is in ICU right now, but if he makes it through and gets home I really want to employ a hard core tincture regiment on him. Sorry to go off-course on your thread here....maybe i will PM you later if that is ok.

Hey Brother I've been thinking about your dad since the last PM you sent me. Sorry I haven't responded. We'll make sure he gets all the tincture he needs.
I'll PM you and we can work out details...

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately, my better half can't handle anything with any sort of Sativa high... makes her wigg out a little, and talk... A LOT! lmao... But Bobo might like those strains when Mrs Bobo is all crabby-- I mean, CRAMPY.
Later!

Thanks 2Timer. You can't go wrong with the Querkle. It's not a strain for cash croppers, due to the lower yield, but it definitely makes up for quantity with Quality!

Hola Rollers,
We have finished chopping, drying and packing the beast from my buddy's garden. He's still blissfully basking in the Southern European sun so he didn't get to join in on the fun. I guess that means I'll be keeping more of this plant than we originally thought.
I didn't take any pictures of the harvest process because there was too much work going on at the time. Here are some shots of the jars and a little less than half the hash. I still need to process the rest of the trim/smaller buds. I took Sub's rule of throwing anything smaller than your thumb into the trim pile to a bit of an extreme. I really don't like to trim bud so I threw anything smaller than Andre the Giant's thumb in the trim pile. More hash that way which means more tincture...
There is about 12 oz in these jars

I don't know how much hash this is. I've never done a batch this big. In case you can't read the labels on the plates, top left is 160, top right is 73 and bottom is 25.

Thanks dagobaker. I agree with you on the Querkle trimming. It's worth it though.
Pandora's Box will get regular rotation on my garden. I've still got 7 beans left from my 10 pack so it will be interesting to see what other phenos I get. At least some of the color from that PB is due to lower night temps.

Earlier in this thread bshdctr asked about a tincture recipe. I realized recently that I never answered his question. So, here's my "tried and true" recipe:
Hash Tincture - recipe for 1 oz of finished tincture
Ingredients:
3 grams of hash (I use a mix of the various grades I get from the Bubble bags)
25% Everclear or vodka
75% Vegetable Glycerine
Put the hash and alcohol in a 1 oz bottle. Shake daily (or 2-3 times per day) for 3 days, or until the hash is fully dissolved in the alcohol.
Pour in the glycerine to fill the bottle almost to the top. In the next step you will reduce the liquid a bit so don't worry if it looks too full.
Put the bottle in a water bath, with the lid off the bottle, and heat to about 180 degrees for a few hours. I use a small crock pot that seems to be designed for potpourri. It tops out at 170 degrees. Shake the bottle (with the lid on) a couple of times while it is heating. I use a towel to hold the bottle so it doesn't burn my hands. Turn off the heat and let the bottle cool to room temperature.
Repeat this process 3 - 4 times or until the mixture has taken on a thicker liquid consistency and you get a glob of gelatin-looking resin floating on top. I also go by smell at this stage. You should have evaporated off much of the alcohol, so the smell should be closer to the smell of hash than the smell of alcohol.
When the step above is complete, heat one more time to warm up the tincture. In this step you will be filtering the goo out of the tincture and that goes better when it is warm. For small batches (as described in this message) I've found a small paper coffee filter to be the best filter. When doing larger batches (3 + ounces of tincture) I use one of those gold-plated "eternal" coffee filters. If using the paper filter, you need to squeeze it to be sure all the tincture has been removed. For the bigger filter, it is easier to use a spoon and rub the goo/tincture around the filter until you are left with just goo inside the filter.
Now you're done. The dose on this tincture is somewhere between 2 and 6 drops, depending on your body size and what effect you are going for. I always start on the low end of the spectrum, wait 30 minutes and add a drop or two each 30 minutes until I figure out the right dose.

The whole buzz is different with edibles so it is hard to compare to smoking. I like to say edibles are for people who like being high, where smoking is for people who like to get high. The difference being in the take-off and initial trajectory. I enjoy the buzz from smoking after the initial rush has worn off and you are on the "plateau". That's where the buzz from tincture starts, but the tincture buzz lasts 2-3 hours at that level vs. maybe an hour from smoke.
To answer your question - yes this recipe will get you silly. Just yesterday I did 8 drops (I usually do 3) of Pandora's Box tincture while working around the house and a while later I had to sit down to watch the tracers. It felt like a VERY mild dose of the good MDMA we used to get in the late 80s. I would call that silly...
I agree that most dispensary tincture is crap. I adapted my recipe from one of the few dispensary tinctures I've found to be worth using. Of course it sold for something like $60 for a 1 OZ bottle...
