Greenpoint seeds!!

My edibles always taste like weed to me, I just can't get that moderation thing down

I've read an average dry weight from plants grown like that is about 1 - 1.5 oz, is that close to what you're getting, red?

Sounds about right. Very minimal trimming which is nice for me. I just cant take being hunched over a trim pile for hours on end anymore.

I've had "OK" luck using dry sift but the days of making coconut oil or butter from bud/trim are over for me. It always taste off. Or I just suck at the whole decarbing process

Trust me man if you make Rick simpson oil then use the RSO and mix it with coconut oil and anything you cook with it will have a nice coconut taste to it

i use QWISO for my edibles. no chlorophyll tastes at all, all terps....

have you tried the single pot method? water + bud + butter/oil in one pot instead of a double boiler? it drastically reduces the green taste due to the water taking the chlorophyll out of the finished product.

or you can wash your butter or oil with water as it will do the same thing. it is a process, but the ends justify the means.

Have done it with the butter but still found it had a pretty strong weed taste

I would love to see how this works out for you. I've been thinking about doing gummies too. Do you have a thread going?

i might have to do that! no thread yet, could be cool tho! good idea!

i do the coconut oil(ghee is great too) method, works great! planning on making sour gummys this time, citcic acid!!

i also use strong jello flavoring to cover any unpleasant tastes.

last time we made butter I asked the wife how much trim\popcorn do we have in this batch? She looked at me cross eyed and said one bag. So I grab one out of the freezer and said one of these, (a gallon ziplock) She said: "why should I have used more?" I weighed a couple on average they were about 5 ounces we will try one ounce on our next pound of butter see if the product tastes less green and if you can eat an entire cookie without going to sleep

sometimes multiple washes help. i can make some really light green potent butter. i'm probably the most sensitive to that green taste of anyone i know, so it is imperative it's clean for me and my wife. it does help to do it multiple times, and i believe there are other tricks.

the single pot method i mentioned is not ideal. washing the butter after it has been made is better.
here is a link that shows why the 1 pot method is less than ideal, and why washing after it is made is superior. http://www.badkatscannapharm.com/interesting-reading

3-4oz of trim per lb of butter and a bit of water in a slow cooker for 24 hours. I stir every few hours. Filter it with 3 layers of cheese cloth. Let chill in fridge overnight. Take out the solid top layer the next day and quickly rinse the gunk on the underside. Freeze it until use.
I use half a batch of butter per batch of cookies ( roughly a dozen). The chocolate chip cookies taste just like cookies. No hint of weed taste at all. Half a cookie and I am on cloud 9 for a solid 4-5 hours at least. Great for outdoor activities.
I do not decarb.
Cheers

cool, my oil is made, might check that out
!

i do in oil decarb, allows me to watch for the decarb bubbles, knowing when to stop when the bubbles have stopped rising...works good. 240 in oil usuall 45 mins on decarb, then i do 210 for few hrs to further extract.

I've been wanting make gummies too. I've watched a couple tutorials but I'd love to follow along or hear/watch how you or BigHorns make these.

I will definitely start a thread when I can find the time to do some gummies.

i got one going, we are hijacking This Thread with Gummy information laugh out loud

My pebble pushers all germed and 10 out of 11 popped up, they would've all popped but one seeds tap root grew into the paper towel without me realizing and when I went to pick it up I snapped the tap root.
Everything else was looking good until I fried some of my CNC and SDK yesterday being too careless. I started a preventative pest spray ruitene since I had broad mites on my last run over the winter, sprayed them with an essential oil's mixture and didn't let them completely dry out before putting them back in the tent, there was no more beaded liquid on them but the leaves still had a shine to them and apparently that was enough. It's kind of weird though because I sprayed those clones(not Greenpoint) too and none of them are burnt. Although they are further from the light.

CNC- 3 weeks
SDK- 2.5 weeks
PB- 2 weeks
TB- 1.5 weeks
BB- 1.5 weeks
PP- 4 or 5 days

My plans were to flip all except the pebble pusher to flower on the 21st, hopefully this doesn't slow them down too much, or even worse lose any. My tightest stacking CNC(#2) took the hardest hit. I'll probably have to give the bandit breath a little extra veg time too, as others have said it's a slow grower.
