As for the recycling system, I think that is a great idea. My concern is not with Grey Wolf, but the amateurs that will emulate him and do not have the proper equipment, or competency required. For example, I can do a wheelie on a motorcycle, but even if I describe to you everything I do, you cannot safely attempt it.

If I came off as an asshole while trying to relay my opinion, I am sorry. I get worked up over these issues, as I feel that we are at a critical time for cannabis in the US, and the last thing we need is more bad press.

Thank you for this insight brother schmal! We agree on safety and bad press, but I see where our basic core philosophies diverge and propose that we agree to disagree.

If that doesn't work and we need to meet on the field of onions to prove truth, I choose boarding cutlasses in close quarters.

Imagine all us'n ignorant unwashed members of this forum, whom still took high school history and are aware that the period in civilization's more recent history, where all knowledge was controlled by the anointed priesthood, was named the "Dark Ages" and that the following period, where knowledge was shared openly, was named the "Renaissance, aka the Age of Enlightenment?"

I rest my case.

Sounds good, I agree to disagree.

I would never suggest withholding information, but I felt the topic needed more info, to add another perspective.

Merry Xmas to all!

The only problem with BHO IMO is it's illegality other than that I think it's better than bubble for turning into capsules or making edibles by a long shot. Also easier to vaporize. I think full melt bubble is a nicer smoke though and I'd say full melt dry sift has got to be the best there is.

Good point and thanks for pointing that out brother MU!

Everyone check with your local laws before making any concentrate, because they vary state to state. If in doubt, discuss it with your attorney.

Here in Oregon, they are legal and in my personal opinion, oil concentrate is the backbone of addressing many of the diseases that cannabis cures or mollifies. Hard to impossible to achieve any other way that I've found so far.

Ya'll should be pressing for legislation in your state allowing its use, based on the preponderance of the evidence.

On the subject of smoking, I advise against it, but continue to do it because of the flavors, speed, and portable utility. My old bronchial tubes are making me pay for that luxury, so I still try to minimize it.

Having boeotian tastes, my favorite is still well prepared bud, for the myriad of flavors darting about, but dry sieve is my next favorite for the same reason.

Bubble is definitely smoother when smoked, but to me tastes hashier, and less floral. Still tasty, and hashy isn't a bad thing, but less of an adventure in diverging flavors.

Where I think all of the concentrates shine, is when vaporized instead of burned. Then you can really taste the different flavors, without the harshness to bronchial passages or soot in your lungs.

When vaporized, non-polar solvent extractions using butane or hexane, also tend to taste more hashy, and less floral than polar extractions like the alcohols.

An exception is a butane extraction of fresh frozen material, which is delightfully floral and my favorite.

the way to get the sweetest nice taste out of butane extract, if the weed is to be dried out, is to just dry it out completely, and make oil within a few days. every week changes the flavor, indicas generally change much faster. and with fresh extractions, its not always delightfully floral i have found, it seems to vary, strain to strain.

Good point! How do you fast cure your material in a few days?

wow, talk about an obscure word worth knowing! I believe this is the oldest living insult in the english language. It's as if 3000 years from now, long after automobiles have disappeared along with the english language, speakers of the new language still call people "jersey drivers", using the english phrase.

Don't be boeotian, wiiiize up!

From Wiki:

Pejorative term</SPAN>


Boeotia was one of the earliest inhabited regions in prehistoric Greece. Many Greek ancient legends, including a number related to the aboriginal population, seem to originate in this region. </SPAN> </SPAN>
Boeotian came to be proverbial for the stupidity of its inhabitants, probably because of Athens' proud assertion of its cultural superiority compared to its rural neighbors.

i cant say i see any value in curing for making into oil using freshly dried product that one wants to retain as close to the smell of the original growing plant. I think curing is really only beneficial for smoothing out herb to smoke it. i just dry it out in a fairly short time, say 7-12 days.

I don't see any advantages to curing them before extraction either bro and should have used the word dry instead of cure.

How do you prepare them before hanging? Pull fan leaves or trim? Hanging branches or whole plants?

What environmental conditions are you drying it in? Approximate temperature, humidity, air exchange ranges.

I am currently designing a forced air drying cabinet for the new skunk shack, as well as a sealed cabinet with ventilation for indoor extractions.

The latter will have fan speed controls and the ability to add heat, so it can double as a drying cabinet large enough for two or three more plants, in a bind.

Lol, that article was written about tests by "Dr." Hornby and everyone knows what a fraud that dude is. Using his numbers as evidence is just a joke really. The dude is certainly showing us stuff about himself. Peace GS


I just had to post and laugh at this comment. I knew about Hornsby from the Volcano shit, and I remember someone trying to say that Hornsby said Decarboxylation happens at 400F....... Had me rolling...
