CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

SSH is one of my favorites... definitely can make you paranoid if you over do it. Kinda regretting not growing another this year, but I'll have some new sativa doms to try.

yeah it truly is one of my all time favorites since then but paranoia is one of the possible side effects lol. I have to get some seeds of it and try it out for sure. I also loved Neville's Haze which takes like 12-14 weeks+ to flower. Heritage seedbank has an awesome Lemon Thai cross from Bodhi. https://heritageseedbank.com/product/heritage-seed-co-lemon-thai-sativa-f4/

Yes but you do get a bit windy at times, then there's the humidity.......I love your winters... beach at Christmas is nice....and no snow.....ya....I could live with that...I've been seeing some stuff about insurance rates down your way breaking the bank for a lot of folks....I guess you got to pay to play.....

Yeah its a slippery slope. I prefer actual equality than paying reparations. HOWEVER, looking at how the government spends our money, I would at least feel good if some of it went to helping Native communities in need!

NY state is paying our local native tribe, the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, (Nation of Awkwesasne) aka "the rez" to the locals... 15 million dollars, plus 2 million yearly for who knows how long, because of land the state bought illegally at some point in the 1800s... these towns are in my county. The tribe filed a lawsuit in the 80s and it just now got settled. I agree with that since they kinda swindled the tribe out of the a good chunk of land from the already small portion they were... let's say "relegated to." It's all bullshit. This country was built on the backs of native Americans and then slaves, and then the poor whites... to pretend otherwise is dumb. We've always been a country that thrives on oppression and that will likely never change... without full scale revolution that is... but we're all complacent at this point, happy to bitch about it online and live our materialistic little lives absorbed in our phones... it feels too far gone now.

I read your day plan this am, did you geterdun? I had/ have a similar day, I bagged my harvest now cooking some coco nut oil up. I've an old buddy out west that just lost a leg t because of alcohol and cigarette abuse and he now can't drink or smoke but wants a buzz. I make these gummies I'm going to ship out to him but they're not very strong each. I'd like to concentrate them somehow...,, My wife takes 2 of these pucks $1 coin size 1/2" thick.......somehow I'd like 1 to equal 2 so I can make them stronger...any idea's....I've a lot of weed in not enough oil so it should be a good batch but how do I concentrate it?.....I'll make more this week when the MCT oil I use gets here for now its just Coconut oil....

There are so many unsustainable institutions in the world that this will likely end in a bang.

This is from the Fermi Paradox - a study of why we have not seen any evidence of extraterrestrial life. This is called "The Great Filter."

This is the argument that technological civilizations may usually or invariably destroy themselves before or shortly after developing radio or spaceflight technology. The astrophysicist Sebastian von Hoerner stated that the progress of science and technology on Earth was driven by two factors—the struggle for domination and the desire for an easy life. The former potentially leads to complete destruction, while the latter may lead to biological or mental degeneration.[78] Possible means of annihilation via major global issues, where global interconnectedness actually makes humanity more vulnerable than resilient,[79] are many,[80] including war, accidental environmental contamination or damage, the development of biotechnology,[81] synthetic life like mirror life,[82] resource depletion, climate change,[83] or poorly-designed artificial intelligence.

We have so many of those against us right now.

I think reparations are a good way of acknowledging the negative side of America but I don't think it should be done with cash.

You want to lift your people out of the conditions that they were put in due to the negligence of our society? Offer scholarships and grants for start up businesses. Offer education in how to actually run a business as part of that grant along with mentors to help sustain those businesses so that they can sustain a profitable business rather than "Here's a wad of cash for the inconvenience. Good Luck.". Offer familial assistance while those that would be the forebearers of success get the time they need to make that change permanent. More regulation on the power brokers within those communities so that they don't monopolize the landscape. Indian casinos are a good example. They make millions and the board members and tribal leaders get rich but the ones that really need the help never see it.

So many "solutions" I see our governments herald as the answer to a particular problem are usually just band aids to appease the loudest voices. That's why no real change happens. Problems need to be solved on a systemic level rather than just a patch to keep it moving along.

Make an alchol extraction instead of a oil extraction.cook off alchol. Your left with concentrate.figure 1 gram of concentrated oil to 1000 mg.so if you want 100 mg gummies which nock my socks off use 1 gram for 10 gummies.

Afternoon yall morning was busy for me trying to find some cheap quart or two size pots to move some plants to out of solo cups. Got em outside so I just wanted something to give me a couple more weeks. Fingers crossed I'm going to attempt to move them inside and avoid a huge disaster by bring some freeloaders in with them. So far they look clean but that's just with the naked eye.

I plan to try something I've never done before, I'm going to try and soak the pots with a water/peroxide mix to hope and clear the soil out from any critters before they come in. Maybe some sort of sulfur for the above ground plant parts, also considered neem dipping them entirely in like a bucket or something (a friend that works at a grow facility suggested this)...anyone got some thoughts on this? Maybe a recommendation on how strong to mix peroxide, sulfer or neem with water?

Skeeter bits work on most root pests… not all but dam near and its harmless to plants and animals

Yeah, there is a limit to how effective that will be.

There are a number of methods to get higher potency, but they all involve a tool. Press, alcohol, kief screen, something.

I imagine you are going for the lowest tech what you have around the house option? Do you have any other extraction gear available to you?
 
Moe.Red said:
Using that system you cannot exceed 1% THC by weight unless you run many passes of buds thru the oil. Its a volume thing.

Using a different method like alcohol you can make it whatever you want it to be. 20%+ THC by weight if you want.

okay I'll need a run through with alcohol, I see flames and fire dept in my future... I've a pint of vodka and can get more but how do I get the 2 to meet without flames?

I have a gas stove so I had to MacGyver it when I made rso... used an electric griddle... now I have an actual electric burner... they're like 20 bucks. Probably could use a crocknpot too maybe? Depends how hot it gets I guess, or it will just take a long time to evaporate the alcohol... needs to barely simmer to reduce tincture to rso.
