Took the last of the clones that passed the tug test out but most were reasonably well rooted anyway.
I think I have exactly..... many clones.

Back from decarb and into the oil we go. Infused and left in the freezer for the night.

The house cattycorner plus one across the street burned.

Hook and ladder were first on the scene and before it was done, we had 8 engines, 2 paramedic rigs the battalion chief, 5 cop cars and virtually everybody from 4 blocks around. One way to meet the neighbors.

Owners kept running back into the burning building yelling for his dog until one of the other neighbors finally stopped him as smoke was pouring from the door. Lots of bangs and a few booms that could have been propane bottles or a gas can or a meth lab as one neighbor claimed was on the being talked about on his police scanner. The junk filled garage. (I should talk) and the crap the fire dept pulled onto the porch was just plywood paneling and unburned and odds and end you find in a packrats house not a cook house IMO.

Thought I'd brag about some blooms I'm enjoying in the back yard this Year. Unexpected color shift in a returning effort that has always evidenced the darker shade up 'til now.

Those are quite nice.

I need to grab a snapshot of the patch of yellow dumpster dived daises from the supermarket growing under the tree. They must have rooted through the pot and into the ground as the splash of color is far greater than the 1-gallon pot should account for.

I would love to see you make a tutorial on how to use your keif to make vape juice; I would be using decarbed flower but the process would be applicable I believe.
The whole vape juice experiment lasted about a year in total and in the end, I went back to flame and pipe, but I do have all the bits and pieces still and did a fair exploration of the whole thing I feel. I'll dig around and put together a reader's digest condensed book version for you.

Yesterday's breakfast hash and 180 proof mini shooter kicker. Damn I wanna toke but I'm being a good boy with my lungs until the Borg assimilation stage #1 is over.

With the oil jar full I started on a ball.

Forest Gump has the nicest look of the current set. Hybrid with enough Sativa to give good spacing and size.

Bulking up well.

Wheels down and 15 seconds from touchdown.

This will drop you in when I was still using entry level pens and infusing off the shelf 0 nicotine juice with hash.

You soon find you are tied to the charger and need a bigger device.

Bigger open coil units.

1713794863349.png


Driven by a pair of 18650 lipo batteries it'll drive anything I can wind coils for.

1713795108237.png


And you buy more hardware, and the coils get funky tasting, and you need an endless supply of them.

1713795268059.png


So you stat winding your own or buying pre-wounds as they are a fraction the cost of the coil inserts.

Then one morning you wake up feeling like you are drowning from all the PG vapor you've inhaled over the past few months and you're shorter of breath then before to say nothing of the cost and mess of spilled juices. I shelved it all and went back to basic pipe and flame.

I even went as far as dripping 180 proof hash tincture on the coils at a temp just below flaming and while it worked, I never did get near the same punch per drag I get with simple smoking.

Most of the Commerical cannabis vape pens are made with 90% concentrate and my hash was only half the strength. It came down to how many tokes I needed to get my high on.

Make near paste of weed and.
70% VG (vegetable glycerin)
20% PG (Propylene glycol)
10% PEG if possible, otherwise use PG (polyethylene glycol)
Heat 200 F for 10-20 minutes and press out.
Start with like 5 grams of weed and a tablespoon of VG-PG
You don't have a concentrate to work with so pack as much weed into the fluid as possible for max strength. Getting it strong enough was always the issue.

I've managed to jar up far more than I can consume over the past year and now with the penciled in schedule of sequential harvesting I'm comfortable experimenting trying to make concentrates. The idea to use some of my excess to tinker with vape juice stems from a reluctance to throw away the disposable units I've been gifted for birthdays and such. I guess the most efficient avenue would be to invest in a press to squeeze out rosin/resin and shift my consumption to interstellar overdrive.
