Well if you're going to "smoke" so much you might as well do it the healthy way. Youtube reviews on the EQ were pretty cool. The base glows. Probably not a fan of the bag though. I like hookahs though so the whip isn't anything new.

Got so high I passed out(kinda) from 8am-10am I did 5 (what looked like).4-.5g bowls. Also tried a little bit of the hash. Bubbled and melted into the weed which I hear is a good sign. Thinking it's not dry yet which is why it's so sticky and hard to scrape off the glass pan. If this is the consistency it's supposed to be at...fuck this stuff is a pain in the ass to scrape.

Have you heard of using your trimming for a tincture? If not, I'll post a 'how-to"...going to try that shit for this up coming harvest!

Yea it's hash oil instead of hash(powder). The consistency depends on the purity of your solvent. That and you have to decarb the hash before hand since you're not lighting it, I think.

What do you mean by decarb? I'm a little bit ignorant of the whole hash process. I have it in a PDF file, so I'll type it out an post it on my thread and we can see if we're talking about the same thing.

The THC that gets us high isn't active unless it is heated to a certain temp. When smoking the flame heats the the thc, it it removes the carboxylic group and becomes the active THC we know. When using a tincture or some other method that doesn't involve heating in order to consume the THC the tincture is made of is inactive. Because of that you have to heat the hash before hand.

Very high, but pretty much heat=psychoactive thc

I'm just going to heat my hash because it's too fucking hard to scrape up with a razor. I'll make it an oil and just make it into a ball or something.

EDIT: Worked very well, but it turned from a light tan color to a dark tan color about being melted. Looks like I got maybe a gram. Free hash though. Still pretty gooey, so I'm going to let it "bake" in the oven at 190-200F for about 5-10 more minutes. Been doing it at 5 min. intervals and trying to scrape it. Going to just let it melt completely now. Threads I've read that talk about decarbing say 20-30 minutes at 225F. On the bright side if I wanted to(I doubt I will) I could just eat the hash.

Finished the scraping, whew! Heated hash at 190-200F to get it to a nice gummy consistency. Allowed me to more easily scrape it off the glass. Still a pain in the ass though. Only blackened when it hardened and dried. The picture of the flat bottom is what it looked like before. Still a good looking tan. Pretty much free hash since I only used popcorn buds and trim. Would be cool to do an entire grow just for hash. I might do BHO if that was the case though.

It's probably decarbed at 190F+ so I imagine I could just melt it and add it to something, but I'm just going to smoke it. Probably by itself. I've had kief before, but I just sprinkle that on top of the bud.

Certain people finally paid me back the money they owed me(bout time!). Purchased the Arizer Extreme-Q Vaporizer 4.0 for $151 at http://www.amazon.com/Arizer-Extreme-Q-Vaporizer-Controlled-Quieter/dp/B0036Z5UJC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. It was $154 earlier today. At 37% off(actual retail price is $239 not 259) it's a great deal for what reviews say is a mid tier vape. Allows me to use a bag or whip which is pretty cool. Made another email address and got amazon prime for a month for free. Should get the vape on Monday, though amazon/UPS are known for getting stuff to their destination faster than they say.

Gonna let my buds dry out until Friday and then I'll pack em into my 1qt and 2qt jars.

As far as the hash goes I'm not sure how to smoke full melt besides adding it on top of buds. Full melt hash pretty much as the name implies is hash that melts when heated. Which makes it kind of a pain if it's the only thing in the bowl. Oh cool fact, the smallest micron bags most people use for bubble hash is 25. Coffee filters are usually 20-25 microns. I used two filters and double strained it so I probably got really pure stuff.

LMAO i'm fuckin jealous!!!!! Of the hash and the vape...

Just looked at that vape...75 reviews and 5 stars...wow! I think I will be aiming to buy the same one...

There's about 5-6 vendors selling the same thing. They all have 4-5 stars too. I'll never buy from the manufacturer, amazon is always cheaper. Saw a vid of someone smoking FM in a pipe with a metal screen. There's a few threads on GC about people using their Extreme Q to smoke hash...I can't wait

I put one line of buds in a jar today. Most of the buds(all the lines) feel pretty dry on the outside. I figure I'll check the humidity in about 6-8 hours in the jar. If it's 55% I'm golden, if it's 60%+ that means they do need to dry more. If it's under 50% I fucked up and the RH and temp were too high. Just affects the taste/smoke, but I'll be using a vape anyway -P) so I won't be smoking the plant material.

Looks like the acu-rite takes up a good bit of space, but even without it that was only one line of buds...Those were the smaller ones too. The larger sized ones had to be moved because they were pulling the lines down. The pic I took is of the largest branch. It's from the Northern Lights. She looked so pretty when she was still wet Not sure about the whole "wet grass" smell people keep talking about, but the bud smells...not stinky. Smells pretty much how it did on the first day I hung it up, only not as strong. Not sure how to describe the smell, not anything like grass though.

Yummy

They even look like they smell delicious.

I hate amazon sometimes. I bought the EQ for $151 and it's $140 now. It's been dropping since I purchased it. Would cancel and get the new price, but it says "preparing to ship...Cancellation is not guaranteed" $11 bucks isn't that big of a difference...I guess

That $11 could've bought you a digi scale

You're not helping I just don't want to have it ship despite my cancellation since it's about to ship and me have to pay return shipping. Oh yea I forgot I just got paid, I'll go buy a digi now. Gotta find that link again.

EDIT: Ordered http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380413435792#ht_1145wt_1397.

Plants are plenty wet still, the jar got up to 67% RH. Probably by next week(when the scale gets here), they'll be dry enough to weigh.

Contrary to what you may read, 67% may not be "too wet". Smoke it and see if you like it. If it's a bit too wet, take it down to 65%, and so-on.
I like mine around 65%. No mold either. 60% is too dry/harsh for me, even after a 30+ day cure

Yea I keep reading that 55-65% is the "acceptable range", but some people are saying 45% and even with my limited knowledge seems way to dry. Was aiming for 60% because I like mine a little dry.

Oh since I didn't want to have to make a mess mixing my soil in my bedroom and putting it in a pot I put my soil in a pot and mixed it with 2 tablespoons of lime on the balcony. Then I put plastic wrap(that you use for sealing food?) over the top and taped it up. I'll of course keep the bags, but this makes moving and mixing easier since it's already done.

How much do you think curing matters since I'll be vaping? Curing doesn't affect the trichomes just the actual plant matter right?

Oh yea Kidney when you say you like 65% RH do you mean that's when you like to start curing or that's the RH you like for your buds.

That's the RH humidity I normally like for my buds, but it depends on how dense they are and what-not. 65% usuakky will have a very slight crisp to the outside, but kinda fluffy inside.
Def try a little bud at 65% and see how you like how it smokes. I'd hate to see you cure it past your liking. Then it's too late
Not sure about vaping vs. curing. That's a good question.

Took down the branches hanging, cut them up into nug sizes and jarred them. Going to leave the jars open for the night and close them for the move. When I was trying to balance all the lines I ended up moving a Blue Mammoth top to one of the first two lines. Since they've shrunk and all the hairs have turned brown I don't know which one it was. So take that into account when you look at the larger jar, it has an extra branch in there. That and the larger jar is 2 quarts while the smaller one is 1qt.

Packed up my stuff for tomorrow. One of the benefits to growing in a storage bin.

Fuckin Extreme Q was at $139 for few hours. Back to 140.

Moved to my new place. Jars have been sitting for about 9-10 hours now and read 73F with 57% humidity. Really not sure about growing here...Among the packets of paper of I got of course a "Drug free campus policy" one was included. In my state anything more than an ounce is considered a felony while cultivation is also a felony, not including the fact that I'm within 100 yards of a school. Here's the important part though:

"Disciplinary sanctions for students convicted of a felony offense involving the manufacture(it's a plant, call it cultivation), distributions, sale, possession or use of marijuana or other controlled/illegal sustances, shall include the forfeiture of academic credit and the temporary or permanent suspension or expulsion from the institution."

I've got what looks like an ounce on hand(scale gets here monday) so I'm already in felony territory. While I don't expect to be caught(god forbid) in the horrible event that I do "shit hitting the fan" wouldn't even begin to describe how bad it would be. Enough of the sad stuff though.

Smell Report: Northern Lights smells very weedish, but also almost like rotten fruit. Not something I'd want my room to smell like, but it doesn't stink per se. Almost like rotten banana. Blue Mammoth on the other hand...The girl REEKs. Smells a lot like bad cheese. Doesn't smell good in any way, very funky. Love the smell of it since it's cannabis, but leave the jar open for an hour and the room smells very strongly.

Fuck amazon(EQ is $139). EQ should be arriving on monday along with the scale. If I do decide to grow, it's a very tough decision, I'll purchase and set up all my stuff next week. Decided I'm going to stick with the pot as opposed to the bed simply because the stores I went to didn't have one I liked and I didn't want to order one since I couldn't see how large it is.
