My Stash

Yay.. no name, random breed stuff that my contact had



I saw the macro photos and had to give this a shot. I have an old jewelers loupe, and I just put that over my phones camera. Just thought I would share.

Lil bit of White Widow, already vaped a nice piece of what I had...

Very nice! Looks like the 1/2 ounce of no name I got last week. I also got 18 grams of hash, and some hash brownies. I'm set for a while.

I would take pictures, but cell phone camera's would never do any of it justice.

It's a great day-strain, enough indica to help me out and a touch of sativa to keep me alert. First trench of the day was well-received!

I don't exactly have 3/4 of an ounce of hash around, though... I hope you like pie and wine, cuz I'm on the way over to your place

I do like pie. I'm like Dean on Supernatural.

Forgot to post this the other day. It's macro of the Pineapple Express


Here are 2 fresh colas. As long as the PE has a decent root system, huge main colas will grow out perfectly.

Sweet.

How do you like something twice?! Damn Tstat, those are some impressive sticks of greenery.

Took my monthly trip today. Funds tight, so slim pickings. Decided to sign up at a new co-op... that has one of the Bako 420 Girls working there (she is so much cuter, when dressed down. stunning in fact)! Free gram and another free gram special for $20 donation. Here's what I got.

Bubba Kush




(meh...)

Banana Kush (for signing up)






Oh well, ground it all up, mixed it with the last of my BDV mix, it will do. The Bubba is decent enough to



(huh? wha....? Children... don't let your parents medicate and post. OK, now that I've had a 3 hour nap)

OK... now you really didn't think I went out to get that crap?

First I stopped at my regular place picked up some...

Romulan






And some

Orange (?) Trainwreck (rofl on the name)

Orange hairs, okay. But it's got royal purple splattered all over it.

And seas of trichs!!

That trainwreck looks sooo sexy in purple! I never thought I'd pleasure myself to a marijuana picture,but after seeing that image I'm damn glad my bathroom door has a lock.

I haven't even tried it yet.

No one asked why the Hell I gave a $20 donation for 2 grams of crap herb.




All they had, was .5g. But, when I was talking to mty usual bud tender, we were talking about the Top Shelf shake again. They sell it at $10/g... which is probably what I should buy on a regular basis, really. However, he said if I wanted to give BHO a try, he'd sell it to me, at $5/g.

So today, I swung back by and grabbed 10g, plus I can add the 2g from yesterday.


So I guess I'm giving BHO a try, soon. Though, that shake, sure is a tasty vape.

EDIT: Weighed out, what I had after tossing in the freebie herb form yesterday. So, I have 12.4g. I'm still reading on this whole process. I want to do butane, but I'm not really hip on the idea of heat. When you did what I did (drive hazmat/petroleum products big trucks)... introducing two things that haven't any business being together, isn't my idea, of a good one.

But, my understanding of butane and the purge, is butane will eventually dissipate/evaporate. Not sure, but I should be able to cover the dish with a filter, fan blowing over it and minimum time, should be a day at most... though I'm thinking the longer I let it sit, the thicker consistency.

But, then I don't really have any idea what I'm talking about.

^If you're paying 10 bucks a gram for shake, it would be cheaper to buy bho retail than make your own. At 5 a gram there is some savings, maybe if you don't figure in the equipment you'll need to buy. Bho that isn't vacuum purged tends to be nasty (imho) and vac setups aren't cheap.
My point is: Make sure you really like making bho before you invest.

Why we only started with $50. Shake should be used loosely. I started just poking thru it and so far I've pulled out, over a gram of flower. Its basically what I would get out of my grinder. Its not shake from trimmings. Its shake from top shelf bud, when they switch out a container. When they can't pull out bud to make a weight, what's left, goes in the "shake jar". Its all $20g stuff.

Edit: oops, I'm not paying $10g for it. He's giving it to me, for $5g. I'm a family friend, so I get specials not available to the public.

If you would enjoy the process, or don't trust local suppliers, then you really should make your own. The quality of the bud isn't the question, it's the amount of equipment you'll need to procure in order to make slightly over 2 grams of bho. Just make sure it's something you'll want to do again and again.

I personally can't get herb cheap enough to justify manufacturing oil vs just buying it. But I haven't had to contend with those murderous cali clinic prices!

Would QWISO be a better option. Though finding 99% alcohol, ugh. 91% its easy.

I don't know @$&# about this stuff.

Some people use a brake bleeder with good results (iirc mighty mite is the way to go, I have a deep vac pump for HVAC though) to vac purge with. A stainless steel turkey baster and Pyrex dishes can be had for cheap enough and butane itself isn't that expensive. That said I can get good oil cheap enough it's not worth my time unless I was going to buy trim by the pound direct from growers. Making good bho is learning process a lot of times even when you have the right equipment. IMO bho is better then qwiso in taste they will probably be fairly similar in extraction efficiency if done right but qwiso can take mulitple washes with really cold solvent washes to make sure you don't extract too much plant material.

Should post some pics of the cherry pie flowers I just got. 100% organically grown in soil stuff is top notch had to move my pre ground stuff to an air tight jar rather then my usual dispensary med bottle because 3 HOURS later my wife could smell it on the other side of my house upstairs through 3 closed doors emanating from my garage where the vapor den is. @ 8.50/g for a 1/2

Soooo . . . my provider stopped by with some samples today. Looks like this is going to be a main strain for this years grow. Its simply called "Blueberry" and the taste, sweet as sugar Really dark colorings, lots of blue and purple in it. The medicinal effect is so well balanced, good full indica effects with a nice sativa edge, but not racy at all. Better pics & more samples l8tr . . .

My first attempt at bud photography, just a crappy phone cam with no magnification.
No flash:

With flash:

The strain is 3 Kings. The press online seems spot on regarding the flavor and potency.

I don't know the name, just know I likey. I'm not a pro, and only have a BB lol





My New jars are being used!

A few nugs from my Platinum Cookies I harvested not too long ago. It is dark heat nursery's cut.

That Platinum looks YUMMY!

OK, so this is what I got from my experiment, with my test extractor. I tried it with just over a gram... but I can actually stuff over 2 grams in here.

I put this together, because after buying the PVC pipe stuff, I read you shouldn't use PVC. This is with 2 grams packed in there (I wanted to see if it would fit)


Exploded view


This is what I got off the single gram.

Welcome to the club, BigDaddy

Got the UltraDART loaded up with a tasty dab of HeadBand honey oil... I believe the "honey oil" we get here is all made with CO2 instead of butane... It's got me goooood. Took a few dabs of it off the nail, then the DART, now I'm vaping up some Candy Kush. Fresh batteries are the best.

I'm mostly trying this, because I was asked to. I don't know why... but both brothers, seem to think I know how to do all these concentrates and stuff. I have a set of bags, I never got to use. That's it.

I was venturing into the Youtube! wilderness one night and ran into these 2 guys, making BHO. I thought, "wow... that looks easy". Well, except for that heat... which I still can't figure out why its necessary, unless you want to be doing dabs in under an hour. Eh, I can wait. Though... I did just take a look at it and it looks a LOT different than it does in those pictures, which I took this afternoon. The newer consistency has a lot of little bubbles, and is turning more of a golden color.

I'm going to try running the rest thru tomorrow. The gram I ran thru the 1st time, looks like it easily has a good wash left in it and I'm pretty sure it needed to be packed better to. I ended up with like a 1" gap in the middle of the DS after the first shot.

I just need some more, so my scale will actually register it. Its a cheapo, that reads tenths... but is real iffy registering lighter weights. But, to my untrained eyes... single wash, that looks like a pretty good return on a gram. Or, am I wrong?
