Hi fskitch, I'm not doubting you for one second. Like you, I decarboxylated the RSO before making the rub. I'll do as you suggest and try it again and see what happens. I think I'll try it during the day this time. I'll let you know how I got on. Thanks again.

Hi fskitch, Thanks for the reply. I certainly didn't ingest any of this. I just rubbed some on my shoulder for pain. You've obviously read my original post, and , like you say, I've read that you can't get high from topical applications and that is why I applied some of the salve to my shoulder...

Thank you Snoopy for the sound advice. Stay well.

Thanks for the reply Snoopy. I'm sure I read somewhere that you can't get "High" when applied topically on the skin. I certainly proved that statement wrong. I got a bit of a fright when I had the reaction I did from the salve. The second thing that concerns me is the salve I made was from what...

I made some RSO for the first time and I would appreciate any comments/advice on what I experienced using this. This is my first attempt at making RSO and I think I burned it during the process thus destroying some of its medicinal properties. I ended up with about 5 grams of RSO and decided to...

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a vacuum filter but I'm guessing it speeds up the process somewhat.

Thanks fskitch. Can bud be decarbed before alcohol soak?

Hi CK, Thanks for the prompt reply. What's your opinion of decarbing in a pressure cooker instead of an oven?

I have a few questions regarding the making of RSO. Is it necessary to dry buds before making RSO or can fresh buds be used? Given that I don’t intend to smoke any of this, is there an optimum time to soak the buds in solvent? I’ve read that soaking buds too long increases the amount of...

Yes Rookie, I was happy with first grow. I've just started my second grow and I don't think I'll change much, except making a better fist of mainlining. More experienced growers here might suggest some nutrient changes to achieve a better yield but I don't know enough about it to change anything...

First up, this is not a blow by blow grow journal but more how I went about certain things and my experiences throughout the grow. Decide what you hope to achieve. Smoke, High, Pain relief, medicinal etc Research and select the strain you think will achieve this. High Indica, sativa or both etc...

Hi Fadedawg, Thanks for the reply. I don't have a problem with removing the plant material it was the next step I wasn't sure of. The water distiller I had intended to use to evaporate / distill the alcohol has broken down so I have to wait to get a new one. I'll have the"tincture", if that's...

I'm doing an extraction for the first time and I have a question regarding the process. After I've soaked the buds in alcohol how long will this alcohol solution keep before I need to distill it to evaporate the alcohol? Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I intend to make some cannabis salve/cream using RSO mixed with coconut oil, olive oil etc. Is it possible to make this salve too strong? Does it get to a point where adding more RSO is just an overkill without any real benefit.

Thanks SOG, I'll take your advice.

Thanks for the replies. As I stated it's my first grow and I'm not sure what I'm doing. On advice received here, I've only fed this plant A & B. Since changing to 12/12 I've used 3ml/litre A and 3ml/litre B. I premixed this for the last two weeks as I've been in hospital for two weeks and had to...

First grow, Do I need to do anything with this plant? It's 7 weeks into 12/12 Thank you.

Thanks Jenko. Will it be ok as it is to harvest?

Sorry, I forgot to add the photos. Try this.

Do I need to remove more leaves from this plant? It's been 4 weeks since I flipped to 12/12. I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.
