I was checking the trichs on the S.B. and was blown away to find a crap ton of amber on her. I didn't know what I was looking at at first, I almost didn't believe it. I looked around the room for a yellower kind of light source, nothing. My usb scope is lit by six blue/white led's so I know it's not them. The trich's are actually that color. Alot of amber in there for being at I think 43 days maybe. She was quite a fast maturing plant, and I had no dang idea. I can never get scope pics to load, but I'll try a little later. I was just checking so I could go make OIL! Muahahaha! The Devils Lube itself CannaOil! J/K guys. i'll be blasting quite a bit since i have a ton of dry trim, and it's some frosty stuff people, and for the quick dry it smells pretty damn good too. It smells like a bushel of fruit that went bad. Sweet, yet sour, and pungent. Should make some interesting oil. I really feel the potency will be there as well with so many trichome's being mature, and even over-ripe I.M.O. on some. You know what kind of pics I'll have later. Peace out PEEPS.
I just blasted a bunch. I love that scent. Orange rinds and cinnamon. I think that some of these strains are maturing so fast these days. I had a few that were perfect at 6 weeks. I have no explanation for it. Genetic variance. I like "The Devil's lube". It is surely some crazy shit. I think I'm going to make cookies for the first time today. :eyesmoke: Your pictures are beautiful. You may be on your way bro to professional work. Your Green Poison seems to have a bit more sat in her than mine does.

I was thinking the same thing about the Green Poison. It looks really sativa dom for a super fast indie, but we'll see what comes out. I love that racy sativa high, and definitely wouldn't mind a heavier lean that way with my G.P. I have to agree about that smell too. You're leaning over that pan scraping out that glorious amber resin, and the smells are so nice man. I picked up a tri-pod for my camera that is alot better than my old basic one. This thing has bubble levels on it, and a quick connect to take the camera on, and off for different shots. Has a nice crank handle to lower or raise the camera. I'm really liking it, but I can't use it too much with the tent pics really, more of a pull her out, and get the pictures thing. With the way I can get shaky I can't even take much credit for any pics it's all the camera for the most part. I just come up with the perspectives, and angles. I think alot of strains are either finishing faster or maybe breeders like more amber trich's than we do, but I think alot of them finish faster than detailed from where you buy the things. If I can't count how many amber heads I see, there's too many I.M.O. If I'm going for a heavy stone I'll pick my strain for it, not with trichome selection, which I think is a little mis-guided anyways. I just blasted some of the most clear oil I've ever worked with, no B.S. I was working with the trim before I blasted it to prepare it, and by the feel of the greasy, stickiness knew it would be special, and I even think I said something on here before. It really seems pure, and the sour, sweet smell it has it friggin awesome. I can't wait to run these flowers through, and see what I get with them. Now that will be EPIC! Giant chunks of 80%, and above T.H.C. cough drops of amber heaven. I know dang well that last batch I made with the Menage a Trois was 80% or above, and think this will be just as good if not better by the look of what's coming out of the trim. It's already hard as candy I don't know how effective a vac would be with it. I'll be leaving it in a heat purge for about 24 hours. What I mean by this is I leave it in a controlled 85-95 degrees so that it is back to a more liquid state, and then I work it lightly in intervals to get any residual gas out. This is how I've had to do my oil since my stupid vac won't keep negative pressure for some reason. This is why I've had air bubbles in the last couple of times, but not much I can do about it. Otherwise it would be straight shatter. It still gets that chip away glass thing going, and not only when it's real cold or anything. If you did everything correctly you should only be left with very high grade resins that are full of terpenes, cannabanoids, and just about every oil the plant has that you're blasting. I can't stress enough to start with the absolute best butane you can get your hands on, really no excuse not to with the way you can order crap on-line now. Starting with a bomb strain doesn't hurt either, and a nice mature specimen is always best. I was so happy when I seen how much amber there was on the trim, and flowers. Oh yeah I scope the trichs on my trim too. I think it's alot easier to see trich's on the leaves anyways. Well time to get back to work. Peace and Love!

Here are a couple quickies. Keep in mind this is before I heat purge, but it's already really beautiful. Hard, and not really all that sticky anymore. I can assure you the bubbles you see are more than 98% air from collecting it with a razor blade. I'll keep it in constant heat, and any remaining anything will come out. Then I'll have the best amber colored meds the planet can offer mankind.

The only problem being, I'll have to write down the instructions before I make the oil, or else I go off, and forget what I'm doing, LOL. Step one remember to breathe. Step two exhale that huge hit. step three, refer to step one, and then go on to step four, LOL. Step by step stoner instructions, now there's an interesting read. Peace out.

I've been working with my oil from yesterday, and have gotten alot of the gas to the surface. Now I'll slowly re-heat this one last time, and it will get really clear. I'm not big into posting weights, but this is one heavy nugget of hash oil folks. more than an 1/8 less than a 1/4. It's solid as heck between the heat purges too. You can take a razor blade to it, and it chips, and cracks. Or you can hit it with the back side of the razor, and it goes thud, thud. I say this because your oil should get hard, and barely tacky pretty quickly after it cools from the collecting. When I collect my oil it's already starting to get pretty solid, and alot like a warm cough drop. This lets you know you have trichomes, and not chlorophyll, and plant matter. The latter 2 being a couple of things you don't want to go collecting. I really think that even at this point over 99.9% of the bubbles are just air from collecting it repeatedly being warm. After working the oil so much I'm surprised it's not more like Wax, but if you keep the temps right, and don't get too vigorous with your working of the oil you can keep the shatter consistency. I know true shatter doesn't have any bubbles what so ever, but I don't have a vac chamber so some air bubbles will be present in the end product. I'll put it up against the best shatter though, and the potency, and taste will be there just as strongly. I'm dieing to try this stuff out, but I'm gonna have to wait till the last heat purge, and collection. Maybe this afternoon I'll be able to sample a small bit. This has all been killer timing as my daily oral dose in tablet form will be out tomorrow so I'll have fresh meds to start with then.

I think this was the manna the Israelites were talking about God feeding them in the desert as they wandered. That's a 40 year trip I could dig. Peace out.

That looks so insane. I'd go on that 40 year trip if I could have that everyday. Damn right. You do it right bro.

Good grief no. That would be a really bad thing to have mis-understood back in those days, LOL! I can't wait to get to all the flowers drying now. The trim oil is coming out crazy heavy. The oil from the flowers is going to be mind numbing, in more than one way, you know. When I do start making the oil with the flowers it will of course be kept separate as the two will be of different qualities. I really wish I could get some of this tested for potency, but I know the oil you get from trim, and flowers can be quite different. I can't wait to start blasting high C.B.D. strains, and testing them out for different things. I just finished the final heat purge of my oil, and have it still warm spread out pretty thin. I just can't get all the air out without a vac, and it's so frustrating to me. I see alot of bubbles, and know in my head it's just air, but it messes me up to see em anyways, you know. I haven't sampled it yet, but know it's just fire from the smell, and consistency of it. It has a texture when it cools to room temperature of stressed concrete in a way. It will pull to a certain extent, and then just pop, and almost shatter some on the outer layers. When it gets a little cooler still it's completely like a crystalline substance, and will flake, and chip very easily. After I finish this post I'm gonna do a small report on it with potency, taste, and a little on it's texture at this more premature state before it crystalizes. Fun stuff! Peace and Love.

Of course its just air bro. You run shit the best. If you aren't doing it right then no one is. I hear you on blasting high CBD flowers. I am going to blast so much of the SBD x FB.

To us, all of the above sounds like a Friday night. To someone in biblical times it probably sound like a friggin nightmare. Especially, 5h1t faced!

On a lighter note I tried out the Sour Blueberry oil a couple of minutes ago from a clean oil rig w/dome, and glass nail. I like to snap off a bit of oil, and roll it under the lid of my silicone container until it resembles an oil worm. Like this.
DSCF1091.jpg

After that you simply heat the nail with a torch, something like this.

DSCF1098.jpg

A cheapie torch I picked up off of greedbay for less than $12. I'll pick up a better one soon, but until then this one works a charm heating up a tiny glass nail. I think it's rated at about 12-1300 degrees. I then dab the oil worm onto the heated nail, a little at a time as not to waste a bunch of oil running down over the nail. They have little dimples, but if you put too much too fast it will still spill over some times. That's why I do the roll. The oil looks not much different from before as far as color, and all. When you put it in the container it always ends up in the same shape it seems. if it's a runnier oil it will always be wafer thin, and runny of course. This stuff is always thick, and when cooler not tacky at all really. When you hold it in your fingers it feels like silicone material at first. When it heats up it turns back tacky as all get out, and you almost can't get it off your fingers, even with alcohol.
DSCF1082.jpgDSCF1088.jpgDSCF1092.jpgDSCF1096.jpg

I like this last pic cause you can see the bottom of the container in the right side of the piece of hash. When it gets heated, and you pull a piece it's almost like kid slobber in the fact that you think it will never break. When it does it's thinner than a strand of hair, and slowly retracts back to either piece. Very interesting, and fun stuff to play around with. Especially after you medicate with a little. The oil worm thingie in the pic above will take me 2 times heating the nail to ingest, and even then there is a little left over as I never touch the metal holder to the glass nail so there's always a big bulb left over on it.

Now to get to the potency, and taste. When you see the smoke you begin to inhale. Upon the smoke crossing over your tongue you immediately have a taste of sour, sweet soil. You exhale, and it's alot more pronounced, the flavor of blueberry soil. It has one of the best earthy tastes in the world because it has all those notes of forest berries with it, and a slight hint of the sour indica lingering as well. Really a nice medication in the end I have to admit. When you're exhaling all this you're already having the freight train rush that comes from a good oil. By the time you've relieved your lungs of the fumes they're already working on your head. The warmth of your favorite blanket as a kid, and best bedtime story envelopes your whole body, and brings you to a relaxed state. It makes every unpleasant thought melt away, and really brings you to a calm state. The warm rush lasts quite a while, and leaves you very content when it slowly starts to subside like a wave rolling back to the ocean. With the second half of the dab you completely melt of all worries, and obligations, and only remember to smile like an idiot slowly putting the rig down on hopefully stable terra. The rush slowly bates, and all the tastes of the earth left after a berry patch was ground into the soil with a pile driver is left coming out of your ears. i have yet to take my walk today, and think it's gonna be a pretty damn fun experience at the moment.

One last note kind of off the whole oil thing. I bought a pair of polarized, U.V. blocking sun glasses quite a while back for really cheap. They sell the exact same kind of lenses in some very expensive "Special Grow Room" glasses. I call B.S. on the whole thing. For one there are some cheap special glasses called Lumigrow's I think. They're from Sunleaves or Hydrofarm or one of those companies for $15 that are just like the Method Sevens that sell for over $100. Companies will always try, and proclaim they have a special technology, and have to charge you hundreds for some reason. Then you come to find out it's yesterdays tech just repackaged, and with a twist on the advertising. Oh well, just watch out what you shell out the big money for, it's alot like the whole led tech, it's alot better than hid all day of the week, but it's easy to get burnt on yesterdays tech repackaged. My whole point with all this is that they're the best way to look at your plants when the lights are on. It's hard to tell what's going on with them sometimes unless you have lights on when the big one is off. The sunglasses help alot to get a good look at your plants with the lights on, and easily diagnose problems you may be having. Good pictures are another great way to diagnose any defs or the sort.

Have a blessed day everyone. I'm gonna go take that walk, but after one more of these dabs I think, LOL. Peace and Love.

Super Blue Dream x Freedom Baby, now that's something special there. It would almost be a crime to blast that with butane. I do say almost though, LOL. Seriously though, that would be some real medicine in my book. Really doesn't get better than a high C.B.D. profile, but I wish they would get them up a little higher on the 1:1 ratio. I would love to start seeing some 16:16 - 20:20 even or maybe higher in the future, you know. Oil with a high C.B.D. ratio ratio would be uber relaxing I think with all my arthritis, and nerve, and back pain issues. It's suppose to be one of the best anti-inflamatory's in the world so I could only dream how much it would help out with so many people's conditions. Plus all of it's anti-cancer benefits I think everyone should take some this day, and age. It's not a strong narcotic like thc so alot of people who drink, and crap like that wouldn't even feel it in lower doses. It would make binge drinking alot easier on your body too I would think. The oil off of this S.B. is really nice with so much flavor to it. It really does hit you quick, and sends every stress you have right out when you exhale.

I never will be able to thank you for all the encouragement, and Hamish as well for helping, and encouraging me to step up my oil game. Now pretty much no matter what i stick in that tube comes out like amber goodness, and kicks like a back fire from a diesel truck. The flavor has gotten alot better too with his instruction. You guys are all really great, and only have positive feedback. Even when you try to correct you have a very tactful approach that demands respect, and attention. i've never seen anybody steer others incorrectly, or out of selfishness. Mad respect to all the Fellas! Peace and Love.

Ok, first off the pictures. Oh hell yea, that oil is beautiful bro. I can tell it already has that perfect texture that's hard, dense, and tacky with slight heat all at once. Second, I didn't know there were strains with that kind of profile out there. I don't know if I haven't been paying attention to some of your posts or what, but that's friggin amazing bro. Holy shnikey's that's some serious meds man. You take good care of those ladies, they're gonna take care of you like a mofo. I can't get over "Teens", or maybe up to 20! I love taking a nice dab, and then smoking a nice filtered cone full of flowers, OOOHHHHH yeah, I love that! The Menage a Trois has developed her scent a little more, and now smells exactly like blueberry cake donuts. I crap you not, my wife picked me up some fresh doughnuts from the bakery I used to work at(one of my many talents-doughnut making at 4 a.m.) and when i brought the bag up-stairs to eat breakfast in bed like we do every Saturday i noticed the pleasant smell of blueberries, fresh baked. I ate the doughnuts, and about 45 minutes later I wanted to medicate to make sure I would digest my breakfast fine. I reached for the Menage a Trois, opened the jar, and me, and my wife looked at each other when we smelled that the flowers had cured almost exactly to the smell of those blueberry cake doughnuts. I thought it was a berry cobbler smell, and had you guys mis-guided about it, but without a doubt it's the latter. Now I can't smoke it without wanting to eat the doughnuts afterwards. I'll forever make that connection whenever I smell those doughnuts in the future. I'm telling you, a lost opportunity to clone a great plant friggin haunts you. Oh well, like we're always saying there's so many strains out there. Enjoy your oil brother, I'm definitely enjoying minebongsmilie. Peace and Love.

I have been oiling up the sides of blunts like a madman. I love it. It bubbles and melts the whole way down. Tastes so sweet and gets me blasted. Blueberry doughnuts would be incredible. Damn.

Oily blunts sound pretty awesome. I can't take those wraps or even nicer cigars sacrificed for the cause they always make me cough. When I was first making oil it would make me cough, but now that it's as smooth as air I would hate to put it in something that would make me cough. I just smoke my rig, and then the after cone! Although you give me a mad professor idea of somehow doing a phatty combo of our ideas here. I like to roll my oil into a log, and then lower that onto the nail. I bet I can roll a thin enough log, and put that sucker right in the middle of a cone, and it should burn pretty evenly with all the herb in there. You are so the F'in man! I have something to go try, be back in a little bit guys. Peace out.

Thanks bro. You can def wrap your cone with oil. It can get pretty damn artistic too. I spiral it down, fat line it down, etc. It is awesome when with a friend. It crushes everyone. 2 gram blunts with a .75 cm oil strip the whole way down. I like to cut the tubes in half. A whole one is too much for me.
