any of you uk guys heard of s8 rhino? a pre 2000 white rhino cutting found around the southeast?
sorry not heard , not around that area , im in the midlands , we get the great accent and black lung instead

rhino imo isnt anything specail , ive grown a few along the same line over the years and tend to find there frosty and average , ive heard of some amazing phenotypes of rhino , widow and northern lights but have yet to see any in the flesh , yours could easily be a regional thing , around here i hear of a wonderful strain called old soldier or warrior , seeing a bit of bud it looks nowt special to me beingfrank but then its only the fruity numbers that really shake my cage , a stinky nasty lemon ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm or fuck me lets not forget something banged out by sweet tooth 3 , ohhh man , i could friggin dribble

Outsourced commercial breeding

they definitely have some keepers, and there's a few clones around that I wouldn't throw out of my tent. But if you're pheno hunting you may want to get 2-3 packs to find something worth keeping.

Never used em just thought id give him sumthin thats cheapo. Lmao why are they shit?

best of luck stopping the plane at the end of the runway , been a bit rough out there , fingers crossed this snow fucks off for you
Aye, I looked up the expected March weather in Prague this afternoon and it's between -1 and 7 degrees.

Poland is about the same but with a lower high, at our las's parents house it will be about -1 to 5 degrees average.

It's a Christening in Poland so they'll be plenty of voddy to warm me cockles!.........;)

yeah man i hear you. this is a very unusual cutting. a real freak pheno. kinda like the cheese but with more character. ive not tried any of the more recent knock offs but ive heard they dont live up to the old original.

funny really , cuts and rep are 2 very different things , so much bullshit around and it normally depends on whos selling what , the sellers tend to state the weed they have is the very very best around and aim for a premium but the reality is all down to the individual and how it effects them ,ive grown stuff that people simply cant tolerate and yet hasnt hit me too hard and i must really call myself a lightweight as ive no tolerance build up at all , go figure ! i do find it funny the lads who read up on certain sites then try to emulate , someone the other day say they had some dro , laugh ? i could have spat out a lung , i had to explain its short for hydro and used in the us to indicate well grown weed , dank ? bejesus , ive even thought of making some new ones just to see if it catches on

could you elaborate on this please , as someone who may have to make oil soon and is shitting it somewhat id be more than interested in your thoughts on decarboxylation

sat with 5 litres of iso on standby
Aye but me being me I find it difficult to put stuff into layman's terms so I apologise in advance.

Decarboxylation is one of the simplest chemical reactions.

To convert THCA into THC the carboxyl group must be removed (Carbon and Oxygen), this reaction takes place naturally over time when you hang dry your buds.

As your buds dry they release evaporated water and CO2, the CO2 contains the carbon and oxygen atoms from the THCA that you are trying to get rid of leaving behind THC.

If you hang dry your buds until they are obviously dry as a bone then you can be certain that decarboxylation has occurred, as we're not interested in using the vegetable matter of the plant for things like oil/edibles and are only interested in the trichomes full decarboxylation of the trichomes happens well before it does in the rest of the plant.

Rick Simpson decarboxylates his oil in a rice cooker because he makes his batches from freshly chopped plants in big vats of Naptha, it needs decarboxylating before use otherwise it won't work when ingested.

If your bud is properly dried to crispy there is no need to bake it in the oven, this will actually fuck with the final product and it won't be what it should be.

yup with this strain its the opposite, no ever speks about it, its pretty much unknown to most people but its one of the strongest ive smoked, it was around alot when i were younger in the area but its hard to come by now. id probs say its one of the strongest cuts around the uk. no shit at all..

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to The Yorkshireman again.

If you give me an idea of what you're trying to achieve I can most probably help.

Is it oil you want or a tincture or what? Oil has it's place but there are far more versatile options.

In fact thinking on Moggggys it's going to be quite hard to make oil without decarboxylating it manually, you're going to have to fully evaporate the ISO somehow.

i `may` need to make some oil and rick simpsons technique seems easy enough , ive created iso before by simply making a bit on a metal tub ( the dogs drinking bowl as it happens ) and sticking this on the rad until it evaporated enough to soak into/onto rizlas , the r/simpson requires heat plus a water infuse at a certain point which is somewhat of an oddity and in many ways seems a bit hit and miss , ive read this is to enable the last of the iso to disperse leaving a pure product and the rice cooker to is to enable decaroxylation , if i have to create this i dont want to mess it up , as you can imagine 17 oz dry can be come by but if i have to take a second shot at it 34 will be testing or simply not possible in time frames and appropriate strains

Aye there is some science to that, if you mix water with iso it forms an azeotrope (sorry for the techyness).

Basically it's a new substance that has a lower boiling point than either of it's ingredients, making the liquid evaporate at a much lower temperature.

You could grind up your buds, dry sift the trichs through a suitably sized micron mesh and fill gel caps with it.

Swallow the gel cap and job done, Subcool has been medicating like that for years and it's a million times quicker and safer than oil.

papilloedema , the cause as of yet unknown , could be as simple as genetic defect to intercranial pressure to malignant tumour , keeping options open just in case

very very interesting , ive around 6 oz of kief here already created , would it be as appropriate as oil i wonder ? upto the same job ?

im not 100% sure but think your chatting about a strain that now as the name of SB ?
fisrt name stephen as in stephens best,....... was it a friuty smoke and hard hitting and very long lasting ? one that took 9/10 weeks ? has a very low leaf to flower ratio ?
you can get your hands on it around folkstone/dover.............. its very close to tooti fruity or so im told.

hope this helps and good luck on your quest ;-)

you could give quick iso a go. I use everclear in this video but you can also do it with iso.....
