New Grower First grow starting this week - 1xNirvana Blue Mystic 1xNirvana Short Rider

Harvested number 2 tonight! 127 grams wet! I am very happy with this grow, so much better than I expected. Buds are in the bag, jars ready, hygrometer (Calibur 3) ready, boveda 62 ready! I was looking at the short rider tonight and she is ready to go, I'll take her down tomorrow night. 3 plants and I'm expecting about 3 zips from the 3 plants! Honestly I've never had that much weed before. Not sure what to do with it LOL...Enjoy the pics!

Gorgeous and frosty, Spike!

RE: Having 3 zips - Yeah, it feels pretty baller, doesn't it? :) Just think about these guys on here with real gardens that must be sitting on 20-30oz.....:)

Showing up to a good friend's house for dinner or the ballgame or whatever is going to be so satisfying when accompanied by a giant Ball Jar of homegrown. :)
 
In my early years a bag of home grown was just leaves! Come a ways since then!
 
Short Rider came down tonight. 85g wet, so not as much as the others. I think it needed better care and maybe would have gone longer. Anyway, not complaining a bit. I didn't take pictures. Just did the deed without fanfare. The cabinet is empty. Kind of sad in the storage room. Thanks everyone for getting me through the grow. Now for the dry and cure - the next hard part.
 
It's an interesting "empty nest syndrome" effect when there are no plants growing.....
 
Now that your medical needs have been met for the near future SB it's time to do a couple one or two plant/ specific purpose grows ... maybe grow a plant to be used for edibles, or a plant to make dry ice hash from ... how about a plant dedicated to Green Dragon ...

Speaking of Green Dragon, I just took 1/4 tsp of my first batch about 1/2 hr ago ... a ground up eighth of weed is a real pile ... used 3 oz of 190 Proof Everclear and extracted it for 45 min after decarbing in the oven for 10 min ... hoping for a fun ride ...

I want to hear about the green Dragon...how was it?[emoji4]

Both the wife and I did some ... she did 2 ml and I did 4 ... as a high I was unimpressed ... especially after seeing the size pile that 4 grams made ... but I am experiencing pain relief that has lasted about 18 hrs so far ... I used 4 grams of bud so I know it's not the weeds fault ... we drank it mixed w/ a couple shots of V8 and the taste was not noticeable ... all in all it was easy to make but I doubt I'll make it again unless I get a little further ahead on my stash ... Edibles haven't worked for me since I had stomach surgery but it should have worked for my wife ... she did get kinda goofy for a period so maybe it was working for her ... when she comes down off the roof I'll ask her ...

:no:
 
Sorry the tincture was a disappointment. I really want to try something like that or edibles...but for edibles, seems you need so much weed to make the butter or whatever. I don't yet have weed to spare, but hopefully one day soon I will! I would love to find something to make with say 8 grams or so that would be a good edible or tincture. I was reading something last night about a tea that sounded like something to try.... This is from Neko:

My Favorite is to make some creamed cannabis tea

1 Small suacer pan
Fill half way with water and poor in some milk. I eye ball it.
1tbs of butter and 1tsp coconut oil
Cinnamon,cloves,vanilla,sugar to taste.

Mix all contents(excluding the cannabis) Put Stone on high heat to bring to boil. Once the butter has melted mix in the cannabis.
Once it starts to boil. Bring it down to a medium heat boil. You can simmer but this will take longer. Though, produces better results (IMHO)

Boil it down until you have the desired drinkable amount. Or at least for 30 minutes to 60 minutes. A good 45-60 minute simmer seems to make it a much more sleepy time drink.

I would start out at 1 gram of shake/nug trim and or .5 grams of high quality buds. Then work your way up to your sweet spot if desired.

Have you tried this or something like it?

Quite possibly, you didn't follow the recipe to a T!!! To decarb weed to its fullest potential, you must go 250* for 27 minutes and only do 2 shots of alcohol and reduce by 1/2!!! You green dragon was not as good as it should ave been due to being watered down with too much alcohol and not decarb'd it at its proper temp and time. Here is a graph to help. Try it again at the 250* for 27 minutes and only go 2 shots of alcohol. Bet it will put you on the floor!!!
