New Grower First Grow Feminized Blue Mystic AF

Plant #2 harvested. This plant was shorter than the first, but it filled out ok all things considered. For whatever reason it had many more leaves to trim; the two plants had significant phenotypical differences. Here are a few photos:

Final Blue Mystic harvested. This was the shortest of the three, but I am not unhappy with the bud. I still have my photo Northern Lights that I have since switched to 12/12...just starting to show preflowering; that plant is getting big. I am going to produce THC oil within the next week...once the bud has all dried. I will post the results...

couple pics of the last plant.

Ok, first THC oil was produced from my grow. I used approx 2oz of very dry bud. Stuffed and then placed them in my freezer over night. Poured 95.5% ABV ethanol that was also left in the freezer over night... all over the buds. Gave them a good crushing/stirring for several minutes and let them sit in the freezer for a few minutes. Strained the buds...and poured an additional half gallon of 95.5 alcohol over the buds letting it strain into a collection vessel. I used about 1 gallon of ethanol(total) and filtered it once using a funnel and coffee filter. I tossed out the spent buds and poured the gallon of alcohol/THC solution into my still(see below). Took about 1.5 hours to remove about 80% of the gallon...I will reuse the alcohol on my next run; what is nice is that I used the ethanol I produced from my CO2 production...see other posts.

Below are the photos. The two little jars should be very pure THC oil. I used about half a cup of coconut oil to clean out my cooking bowl so as not to waste the residual THC; this should be strong cooking oil.



Full picture of my newly made boiler with attached essence extractor head...made the head over a year ago. I put a thermometer port down low so I can watch closely the rising temps...Don't want to burn the THC oil.



I use a separate heating element...I have a gas stove and it is way to dangerous boiling 95.5ABV ethanol on. You should do this in a well ventilated area with no open flame.



This was what remained after filling the small containers below.



I haven't weight it, but considering how strong this stuff is it should last us a while.



I used half cup of coconut oil to clean the bowl and melt the THC oil off the spoon etc. It should be strong...make some nice cookies/brownies -- You think??

Thanks for you help folks. I wouldn't have been successful without your help!

great thread ma man. makes a fine read for the beginner. some serious science bits goin on.those mistics are awesome mate:jaw:. am smokin the very same right now. dynamite smoke it is.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Yeah, I am glad I started with bluemystics. The smoke is great...now I wanna find out how it works in edibles and perhaps vape some of the oil.

On a side note, I ordered a bulk order of some AF seeds from Original SSC...so I have 50 en-route. Looking forward to starting a new grow already.
