We made it to 73 today, unfortunately the N wind was gusting up to 20 or so. I was able to open up the patio door and air out the house a bit though. Big ol grilled porterhouse for dinner with potato packs, possibly a salad also. Buds and suds time.

I should have paid a LOT more attention in high school science class, but I do recall those lab stations with the build in gas and air...and I remember my first set of triple beam scales came from their too:lol:

Unfortunately I have extremely low science skills but I have a desire to learn....What do you guys with science background think...Is a roto vap like I posted going to be way over my head?? I feel like I could set it up and operate it with a few more YouTube lessons.
Go for it. Singlemalt and Cannabineer are the pros so I won't offer up any advice and embarrass myself. I would recommend picking up a copy of this book. You'll read it in a night of two and probably go back to it. It was invaluable to me and was recommended as well.

Learning how to make my own distillate on RIU was quite unexpected, but the coolest thing I've done. With a little guidance from a former member and a lot of research I turned out a fine vapable product by soxhlet extraction. Way stronger than dispensary carts too ( also made very strong gummies) Watching the soxhlet dump is damn mesmerizing and is the easy part. Cleaning up the chlorophyll took some trial and error. Thank you carbon.

I went from bho to distillate, took a break from the soxhlet and now am perfecting bubble lol. Ive always wanted to run hash or kief through the soxhlet , your interest in the rotovap has me considering running some hash for fun.

I did get out the soxhlet before Christmas. Got the little ones involved and made momma some orange,ginger and vanilla bean perfume. My favorite extract I've made. There's so much you can do. I had no idea how much chemistry plays a role in everyday life. Gl man, you're in for a lot of fun!

Long term accomplishment post. This grow has been part distraction and experiment. I have never kept a indoor plant in veg this long before. The really bushy one which is hidden behind the tall monster I dropped a light on right after transplant and thought it was doomed so I popped 3 more seeds in case. Now I have a tent of monsters and misfits in various states of health and have no idea what my plan is.. I'm okay with it..

@Aeroknow Have you dropped your arms and hung just by your ankles? You can even try to grab the frame and do some twisting stretches. Or inverted situps....slowly..it might help.
i wouldn’t even dare do that yet bro.
I hang myself for 3 min at a time. Morning and night. Night supposed to be the best time to do.
It takes like a minute into hanging myself where my muscles can finally let loose. It feels sketchy. If i was to twist and stretch i might die. Not even kidding lol

Yeah I use to try to relax and do a few twisting stretches. I haven't been on mine in a while and i should. I normally can't stand up straight in the morning until after a hot shower and some Advil. But yes, right before bed is best I think.

That tall one would be good to practice some super cropping on!!

I have some overgrown ones in veg too....they are re-vegged in fact. I need to mix up some soil and get them into 10g bags soon!

So, according to the chiropractor, if you were to do it once a day, the best time is before you lay down to go to bed

Dude. I wouldn’t even be alive without ibuprofen :-(
It sucks to keep it at only 800mg like i’ve been doing lately.
I take one in the morning before i go gardening.
I’m afraid of the liver damage info shit that came out a couple years ago

The chiropractor wants me to wait until we’re done with his 4 month plan(i can only go 2x a week he wanted 3months @3 times a week) until I start the Rolfing. He is down with the Rolfing but said there will be too many cooks in the kitchen.
Only after you have operated on a spine can you really understand how funny that is. Lay off the chiro for a week and then go get a rolfing. Continue to see which ever one makes you feel better.
