    straining the butter

    I think people are mistakenly thinking that if you strain butter or oil through a paper filter, the trichs will stick to the paper. What they fail to understand is that if they did the job right, there are NO MORE trichs left, they are desolved in the butter/oil. Paper filters should work fine...

    Crockpot cannabutter troubleshooting

    Just made my first batch of medicated brownies and they are awesome. I used the same as you - 7 grams of bud and 1 stick of butter. FIRST - try decarb'ing in the oven before cooking in butter. I read dozens of how-to's and this seems to be mandatory if you're not getting enough medication...

    how close are the trich's

    Another indication you need to wait. Now is the time to patient, you'll be glad you did or you'll be sorry you didn't.

    how close are the trich's

    Agreed with above, at least 3 - 4 weeks. If you see long, straight white hairs you're not close to looking at trichs yet. You're on the right track, be patient, you don't want to waste your effort by pulling them anytime soon. If you're concerned about potency, taste, and yield, wait for the...

    1st grow, yield questions day 44 of flowering

    It looks by your pictures like they're not close to being done yet, so estimating weight will be more of a challenge. When do you expect to harvest?

    Help with outdoor nutrients.

    Looks like they now offer an Organic version, but I'm only finding links for it in Australia - https://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/osmocote/osmocote-plus-organics/osmocote-plus-organics-all-purpose

    Outdoor in the high desert, pondering my options and planning ahead

    I would agree with both things rumblen said above. One of the biggest problems guerrilla growing in the desert is that any cannabis, especially big plants, is going to stick out like a glowing green beacon against a sea of tan and brown. You're going to have to be creative to keep your site...

    Outdoor in the high desert, pondering my options and planning ahead

    I've been to just about every corner of California EXCEPT where you're describing, I know that area is very remote up there. I just zoomed in on Google Earth and found some remote canyons up there with what are probably seasonal creeks that still had water in June 2014 images which is a pretty...

    Outdoor in the high desert, pondering my options and planning ahead

    For your guerrilla grow option on public lands, I'm sure you already know this but be sure to cover your tracks every place you turn off of roads and trails. Not sure what high deserts you're using (not asking) but in southern California the only use for much of that land is 4 wheeling...

    First Light Dep (NorCal)

    Thanks for the info. I'm in the vicinity of the Emerald Triangle area and I have always assumed that the sun would be at too low of an angle during March and April to encourage good bud development. I'm very interested in how this works for you and best of luck to you. Hopefully our El Nino...

    First Light Dep (NorCal)

    Assuming you're going to grow 'indoor under lights' in your new 'grow tunnel', I'm curious how many layers of what kind of fabric is going to be needed to keep your 'grow tunnel' from glowing like a cigar shaped UFO that has landed in your back yard. Make sure everything you do is fire resistant...

    2,500 plants!

    I've lived in northern California for the past 40 years.......... at least I thought I had. And just for that, I'm calling BULLSHIT. Show me one garden on Google Earth with over 10,000 plants and I'll lick my own nutsack.

    Make your butter like this

    My only problem with infused chocolate is you can't let them get warm enough to partially melt or get soft, or else the THC goo will separate from the chocolate. This is one reason Fandango keeps his in the freezer. I had to learn the hard way with medical cannabis chocolates from a dispensary...

    Add water?

    By boiling the butter and herb in water, you're virtually guaranteed you're not going to scorch the butter since water boils at approximately 212 deg F. If you want the safety of boiled water without having to separate out the water later, use a double boiler. Boil water in a large pot, set...

    irritated with edibles

    If you find all 5 posts on YouTube that make up the High Times series on making Cannabutter, they show the 4 different methods and 1 final segment analyzing the results. Unfortunately my link only links to video 1. Go to YouTube, search for "high times ultimate cannabutter experiment" and...

    Help me understand when and when not to 'decarb' when baking bread.

    SheShells - as always with cannabis, there's a lot of misinformation including here at RIU. It is NOT true that your weed will be fully decarbed after a few months, that's a myth. Try grinding your green fine, then heating for 110 min at 240 degree, stirring it around every 30 minutes or so...

    strong cannabutter recipe

    Look at your previous posts - 1. you state you microwave butter and bud for 5 minutes, then put it in ice cube trays. So I asked when or how you decarbed the weed prior to eating. 2. You state - "This decarb process would be applicable in a joint even a bong but as for eating ....Na!!" -...
