Today...it just started...but i have been up since 4. Garden was all sorted out. Trimmed a stardawg that may hit my new personal biggest yield in the room.
It might pass the biggest indoor ever (white widow at 6.5 OZ). But i was just suprised more than anything. It didnt look that big on the plant but there was piss all larf and hardly anything but buds.

And that single leaf shit that means i should turn down the nutes a bit...1300 TDS is hot but stacks buds..

I moved the Black Grape Dumdum into bloom. Because a spot opened up...and i have 4 extra 5 gallon pots full of coco and root farm needing something to veg.

I also groomed a few plants...looking for ball sacks. No sacks and the good news is wow they will stack buds they are clean on the bottom foot to 16 inches !

Bhangi Haze are growing blockbuster too. Stretching like crazy but put in short. I need the sat heavy for edibles. And those gummies were the best i ever made...i am getting there.

I ran into the BM dealer and gave her a couple....i got a call next day..how many and how much..I think i am getting there with the edibles for stoners.

Now on to the rest of the day. Time to winterize the house starting with a big vape load of something...

Have a great day all. Today is going to be a great one !!! Burn em if you got em

I made a batch of orange, rasperberry and grape gummy candy. By the time i got to the grape i made 25 candy out of the batch so it around 100 mg per.

I licked the spoon each batch and ate what was left in the dropper....i cant sample anymore.

But another thing...get a decent non stick pan to make them, i used a frying pan and a silicone spatula and it was a lot easier. I kept the molds by the stove.

The juice with them...i cant taste any cannabis in them. They are crazy dangerous and they might all have stoner faces and 21+ on them but its me im worried about.

I also made my sons lunch of the week. He loves this soup and you just throw all of this in an instant pot pressure cooker on medium pressure for 12 minutes and its soup.

Low fat and good for you. I like the el paso chili because it is the freshest chili powder you can get (foil sealed).
2 packs of knox ton1 jello is perfext.

These are killer and they taste like candy.

I picked up some clones at Archive Portland. Hazmat OG, Duct Tape, Dosidos #55, and Casper OG.

Today I made everyone is the house avocado and bacon egg sandwiches. Now I'm gonna go play Plants vs. Zombies on Xbox with my great nephew. He has autism and video games is an incredible exercise in focus that he needs.

When I make budder, I use a big basting syringe to fill the butter molds. Saves a lot of mess and the required spoon-licking (because you can't waste it!) but you can still sample as much as you want LOL

Gummi recipe please
Taken from elsewhere:

THC or CBD distillate (already activated -no need to decarb)
1 3-ounce package of Jell-O flavor of choice
1-1/2 packets of Knox unflavored gelatin (you can use 2 packs if you want chewier gummies)
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon citric acid powder (commonly available)

First, mix all dry ingredients together (Jell-O, gelatin and citric acid powder)
Add the water and "bloom" the Jell-O and gelatin (gently stir and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes)
Add the light corn syrup and stir until well-mixed (Don't stir aggressively or you will get too many air bubbles)
Microwave the Jell-O mixture for 35 seconds and stir gently
Microwave again for 15 seconds and stir
Repeat for 15 more seconds
Repeat again 15 seconds
Repeat again 15 seconds
At this point, the Jell-O mixture should be very warm but not boiling (you don't want bubbles) and very liquid...

Add 1 gram of THC or CBD distillate and stir in gently and very well


IF the Jell-O mixture starts to gel before you finish filling the molds, then just re-heat the mixture for another 10-15 seconds and it will thin and get watery again
Dispense the liquid into silicone gummy bear molds that have some PAM cooking oil spray, sprayed into them and allow to cool for an hour or so

Pop out the gummy bears and coat with a mixture of citric acid powder and regular granulated sugar

Stand the gummy bears up on a tray and allow them to dry for 48 hours

If the sour sugar melts onto the fresh gummies, then just wait a day and toss them with more sour sugar mix again.

After 48 hours, the gummies should be dry and chewy

Store in an airtight container at room temp -should be good for several weeks

Enjoy


I add 1 tsp sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. Mix it up real good and put it in a squeeze bottle for easy dispensing.

My gummy recipe..so far the best one yet
1/2 cup of juice (the best are real juice in the juice box because i had them all over)
1/4 cup or 2 oz of infused coconut oil
1 pack any flavor jello
2 packs gelatin (Knox)
Bring the juice and oil to a low boil add 1 pack of knox at a time and stir then add the jello and stir and boil 3 to 5 minutes. Then keep it warm and get a dropper an fill your pam sprayed molds.

Simple....And if you make the coco oil strong enough they will ring your bell.

30 grams of good weed to 120 ml of oil is about perfect (makes 2 batches of gummies).
1 batch has about 2500 to 3000 mg of THC divided by the number of gummies.

They set up in a couple of hours, leave them on a plate to dry a day or two and then powdered sugar or sour sugar for flavor but they dont need it

My friends are going to love the Christmas presents....2 more harvests soon and i will include a sampler pack of fine buds too. Best gifting I have ever done !

The next time i use the Ardent i will show pics of all steps. You can use your oven but i bet the Ardent converts more to available THC than the oven does....Science !!!

I am trying to break out of my rituals. For the last 2 years I was addicted to my ambien. To me it’s like a hallucinogenic. I take it and there is about an hour window where I just feel like a kid again. It’s really like a trip. Like going off to never never land.

anyway had to go inpatient in the VA a while back because I would runout (taking extra) and the withdrawals were so bad.

I’ve been coping without it I guess but I’m starting to get that itch. I’ve replaced my love of ambien with smoking more and sex addiction.

up to smoking an oz of canna a week or more. Grow buddy who is showing me the ropes gives me for free (purple haze), but I keep showing up with an empty mason jar 2-3 days in advance.... and the sex thing...

ive been called a “houseman” as my wife works full time. I do the dishes/scrub toilets and do whatever I have to do to get laid when she gets home. If I don’t get it I’m pissed and it ruins my day. I am 100% service connected from VA so am contributing to bills, but do not work.

I feel like my validation or self actualization is wrapped up on poker, if I get sex, and now how my 3 plants are doing. ontop of sex I watch porn about 2 hours a day.

it’s a chemical romance I’m chasing and I’m not sure how to ground myself.

Making Budder - Part one.
IMG_4092.JPG
Put keif in machine and push button
IMG_4093.JPG
Set timer for 1:45 so you don't forget about it - might take less or more, goes by weight/temp
IMG_4102.JPG
Nice and evenly toasted throughout

And the math part
IMG_4105.JPG
I figure 50% THC for keif (easy math), or 500mg/g - 1500mg THC

I use 25mg for dosing as a standard for me - you can always use more than a dose.
1500 / 25 = 60 doses.

I put the "max-fill" on the NOVA (200ml) so I don't forget, and that leaves some head-space in the silicone sleeve. I will clarify a bunch of unsalted butter then use 120ml of butter with this batch of keif. 2ml/mg of budder will be one dose for this batch.

You can do all of it in the sleeve, but I have the other batch decarbing now. You put the butter (or oil) in the sleeve with the keif and run it for another cycle. Done.

Making Budder - part 2-ish
Easy clarified butter.
Bring butter to a simmer, sift in a few tablespoons of corn starch
IMG_4109.JPG
and whisk it until you bring back to a simmer, strain.
IMG_4110.JPG
The fats bind to the corn starch and strain right out.

I measured out 120ml into the silicone sleeve, stirred in the keif, then put it back in the machine and push the button.

Part 3.
The butter is now budder. I use a Hershey-bar type mold, (quicker than a gummy mold for this) but there is a trick.

No - you are not steady-handed enough to get a full mold this shallow with this much surface area into the fridge without accidental spillage. Fill it in the fridge with a basting syringe or squeeze bottle (it's hot though). No problem with the regular molds.

I stir it up well after the decarb cycle is done, but then let it settle for a minute. If you keep the syringe off the bottom you can get pretty clean results without straining. When it's almost empty you can pour the rest right into the mold and the keif stays on the bottom, with a few doses of budder.

If you make it strong, and licking the spoon could end your plans for the rest of the day rather quickly, put on a kettle of water to boil when you start filling the trays and stuff. When you're done rinse everything into a glass or silicone bowl. Since I had gobs of keif-skeletons in the stuff I rinse I whisked it in the hot water to let any worthless gunk settle. After it cools you get enough off the top for a few more doses.
