Welcome New Members!

Hi all. I am a learner with my first grow of autos. Now 2 weeks since seed planted in the veggy garden. (Southern Hemisphere)
I have Baby Boomer CBD, Auto, Critical Jack Auto and Parmesan CBD Auto.
I will stay in the veggy garden for this crop but may try indoor after that.
I am growing for meds for Trigeminal Neralgia and only need a small yield as I microdose with a vaporizer.

Thanks MUCH!!

Hello, Zarg here. I come here once and a while when google deems fit. so i decided to make it official. michigan medical marijuana program licenced. not totally new to growing but not an expert. cant wait to get into the forums and learn and learn and learn. also maybe i can teach. i do alot of things the hard way or sometimes just not ideal and i know its not the best way to go but sometimes its the only option i have. my goals for my grows are to create quick and effective pain management items. I deal with a great deal of back pain and intestinal pain and nausea. more and more people need access to cannabis. once i have my prossess down to a routine i would also like to make it to the goal of care giving for others that are in need of quality meds. Very nice to be a member here. thanks for having me.

talking about it here. trying to learn this dog new tricks, something i cobbled together long ago and just been going with it even knowing its not ideal, just havent had luck with anything else and just dont see indoor soil worth it for the size of the area im working with.

That' some wild stuff... I'm afraid it's over my head. But if you say it works, i wont argue.

I will say "worked" is a relative term. Get a feel for the possbilities on what your space, lights and nutrients CAN yeild and shoot for that. If you start from seeds (looks like it) know some arent worth your time, but some will be full on joy from day one. Picking a high yield strain is huge... I'm sure you probably know all this

Seems like a busy operation. More plants is sometimes just more plants. Some of the fellas on here can yeild well over a pound per plant. I cant (yet) but its on my list of shit to do. Just listen, learn, and keep your options open. Small steps can bring about huge breakthroughs. Looking forward to seeing YOUR growth in this endeavor

im still learning about choosing strains, being someone who isnt thrilled about bulk reading has gotten my stacks of pages to read to build up. thank got for leafly right? lol but with what i got, starting from small, working my way up, i gotta start from somewhere. prolly end up making wax and tinctures outta my first crop to vend at a compassion club just to fund some better equipment and better genetic seed/ clones to play with.

Strain selection can suck. Get a couple of opinions before you commit. Talking about seeds and their propensity for intermittent greatness. I'm hatching 12 seeds for 8 solid soldiers next grow. I hope I get that many to be honest.

One place that seems to give positive advice without waiting for someone to take interest in your post is growweedeasy.com its not a forum, just info. The information is clear and concise, and they get right to it. On a forum you don' really know who youre talking to... have they been around a long time, or are they some asshole greener than you with big ideas. Check that place out. My theory is if one is driven enough to come here for answered questions they have enough to see those little green devils turn into big green devils.

Tinctures and things like that take a lot of material, the better the material the better the oil. You'e gonna want a bad ass plant. I used 11 ounces of DRIED larfy bud, sugar leaves and bud from my last grow to make one ounce of Rick Simpson oil.

i plan on making 2 styles, a coconut oil base and then im going to do a 6 month green dragon tincture (later modified evaporation/honey ect )

I think your choice to use coconut oil is a good one. It makes it very available to the body so it' easy to absorb.

I don't know the second one, but RSO has a few names... Phoenix tears, some even call it hash oil. I'm thinking maybe its the same thing
My point is, you need lots of left overs to make a decent amount of goodies.

I dig brownies. Last time I used 4 ounces of green for 2 boxes of mix. I do this so i only have to eat a 1 inch cube... not a whole 3 inch square. A 6 month old brownie sucks no matter whats in it. You'll figure it out. Take a look at Grow Weed Easy theres a lifetime of info there, and links upon links to hook it all together... your gonna be just fine

the one inch squares sounds about right for the effectiveness. didnt know the type of oil helped absorption, very good to know thanks. and yes, high grain alcohol with your trim/ect left in a cool dark place for 6 months ive read gives you some great potent oil.

You don't want to keep the alcohol mixed with the plant matter for long periods of time. Matter of fact you only want a few minutes. As I understand it 5 minutes is more than plenty to isolate the oil, in dried and ground material, which has the goods. Then you strain it, and add alcohol one more time. And strain it. THEN, you toss it.

If you keep the green in alcohol for longer, you end up with other compounds in you mix, shit you don't want. Please double check this, i could very easily be wrong. But, I'm feeling strong.

And grain alcohol will work, but it isn't as effective as 99% isopropyl... again, look into it, if you find out different is like to hear about this. 99% iso is much stronger, and far less likely to leave impurities in the finish product... to be clear, it's alcohol and distilled water in isopropyl. Grain alcohol can have a ton of other stuff in it.

This is my protocol. I hope to hear from others, if they make RSO

yea i wont be making anything without having everything clearly marked out from reputable sources but here is what i was talking about as far as green dragon. there are just so many, tired n high i get shit mixed up in my head from just memory

GREEN DRAGON TINCTURE - without cooking

Equipment and Supplies
Use an air-tight jar (or jars) to mix your cannabis and solvent. This jar will need to be air-tight so it can be shaken daily over the course of a few weeks. Mason canning jars are a great choice.

• Grind your marijuana and fill your jars 3/4 full.

• Good solvents are: high-proof alcohol, glycerin, absinthe or vinegar. If you go with alcohol, the higher the proof the better, Everclear is a great base.
• Cheesecloth (to strain out your vegetation).
• Small glass bottles with dropper tops.

Everclear bottle full of Green Dragon.
Directions:

• Grind up the marijuana.
• Decarboxylation step: Heat marijuana on a cookie sheet or in a glass dish in 150º F for 15 minutes.
• Place decarboxylase cannabis into your jar, after it has cooled, until 3/4 full if you don’t have enough weed to fill your jar 3/4 full, use just enough alcohol to cover what you have. The alcohol should be about 1/4 higher than your marijuana level.
• Slowly fill your jars with your alcohol. (Everclear/absinthe/etc.).
• Tightly seal your jars.
• The tricombs fall into the Everclear by placing the jars into the freezer.

• Tumble your jar for 2 - 3 minutes (roll it back and forth).

• Tumble your jars daily for the next 2 - 4 weeks

After 2 - 4 weeks:

• Open jars and stretch cheese cloth across the top of your jars.
• Pour solvent into a bowl, straining the liquid through cheesecloth.
• Pour liquid into smaller dropper bottles.

Enjoy! Remember to use with caution until you get a feel for the potency of your batch of Green Dragon.

Yeah dude. Decarboxolation step doesnt look to be anywhere near hot enough or long enough. Where did you find this recipe? Give grow weed easy a wink they usually tell you how AND why. Glycerine and vinegar are suspect also. Never heard of either used as a solvent for THC. Have You used either to clean a bong? Let me know how it turns out.

Cheers

Look up Rick Simpson oil. Its very similar, and widely used.

New member here, it's awesome to see so many people helping each other & I'm stoked to be a part of the community. I'm on my second grow in my Mini Indoor Setup. First grow was Ghost Train Haze #9, that was a terrible mistake on my part. I wasn't taking into account the amount of stretch a full Sativa would experience, but I learned many valuable lessons on that one.
Now I've got a "Locomotion" (BlueDiesel x Timewreck) clone going, just topped and almost ready to LST.
I don't have much room for a grow setup so I built the best setup I could in minimal the space available. Below is a short breakdown of my kit.

My Setup:
* Rubbermaid Storage Closet (36x36x18")
* 240W LED Grow Light (TaoTronics TT-GL14) R/B/W/UV
* Adjustable Light Hangers (1/8" x 6')
* Panda Film and White Duct Tape for light reflection
* 80mm INLET fan w/ Carbon Impregnated Filter
* 80mm OUTLET fan w/ Carbon Impregnated Filter & handmade Filter housing
* 2x - 4" interior fans for air movement
* Eco-Duino Automatic watering system with handmade watering head (DynaFlo fittings & tube)
* Internal Temp & Rh probe to External display

Note: Pics are from the last grow, I've added better light hangers, more air movement and covered every square inch with Panda Film.
I'm happy to pass on my tips & ideas if you are attempting to make a Mini/Micro Grow Setup.
Peace

Seems like you take it pretty serious. Very nice.
