Ive always wanted to do Assateague island too, but i understand that the mosquitos are as big as the wild horses! and more aggressive! The state campground has sites on the beach where the ocean is just over the dunes. but again the sites are on top of each other.

Lo, i just remembered that Baltimore County has an island called Hart Miller in the middle of the bay made from all the dredge from the inner harbor downtown. only accessable by boat. Hubby has been talking about taking off from the house and paddling the 8 or so miles up the river and across a...

Looking for some suggestions for new places to experience the great outdoors. So far, my favorite places to camp are all in Maryland, but we are looking to travel in the next few years to some places further away. We tent camp and don't generally get sites with power and water because we are...

Day 4 water change progressively less skanky and much lighter colored than yesterday. very little sediment and the bong water odor is knocked back a bit. the herb also seems more saturated - like it's as waterlogged as it could possibly get. about 10 minutes in...

OK, just went back and re-read this thread. I will be doing the vinegar/salt thing with my watercured ABV. unless i change my mind;) and about the vinegar, taken from "The Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook" by James Green "...it was found that for the most part pure alkaloids, which are a...

vtac, totally. i would contribute regularly if there were such a forum. I am looking forward to making all kinds of baked goods if this water cure works like i think it will. I'll be able to put it in anything just by subbing it out for flour i would think. still debating whether i should...

Day 3 water change not as dark or smelly as yesterday's water change. looked like auto drip coffee vs the french press looking stuff from yesterday. smells faintly of bong water. some sediment, but less than yesterday. The herb smells less like abv and more like bong water today. i hope that...

YAY! It worked! Overnight on the lowest setting somewhere >95 f. voila! crispy bud that crumbled beautifully and was much easier to grind fine. still not quite as fine as I would like it, but it eliminates 1 crumbling. DH commented that it was like i had dried it to the point where it pulled...

I understand using vinegar, but can you tell me why salt as well? this intrigues me. I've never heard of using salt as part of any type of extraction. I'm thinking it either makes the vinegar carry the goodies better or allows the plant to release them better. I'm currently working on...

back to the ABV watercure... Day 2 - water change this shows just how nasty the water from day 1 actually is. it looked to me very much like french press coffee with it's fine layer of sludge at the bottom. it's dark and smells just like the vaped weed. no surprise there. so it's into the...

limonene is also found in varying amounts in all kinds of things. Citrus essential oils are not pure limonene, it just makes up part of what they are. overall, unless you are allergic or sensitive, I would say they are safe when used properly. Proper use means not getting it on your skin...

hemp, that was interesting, but i've used these oils safely for years. The general consensus in the aromatherapy community it that these oils are safe when used with discretion. The amounts we are talking about are minuscule. I will be researching this further with some of my industry...

*off topic, but it's my topic** finchrock, any of the citrus oils would be nice. usually lemon, lime, orange, peppermint or spearmint are pretty inexpensive as far as oils go, are easy to find at health food stores and generally safe. Lavender rose, or chamomile would also be safe if you are...

finchrock, you just made me realize that i could put a drop of essential oil of choice inside my ABV container and have flavored/scented ABV. :o I have been playing with essential oils and weed for about the same amount of time, almost 20 years, and I never had the idea to do that until now...

Well, I plan :lol: on setting a bit aside to smoke, vape, and possibly do QWISO. or i may just end up making a double batch in a 9X13 pan! who knows?! they freeze, right? It's fun to be doing new things with one of my favorite herbs.:):)

So i finally collected enough ABV to make some brownies. I started with 28 grams of moderately vaped herb (which i forgot to snap a pic of - use your imagination) and decided to water cure it to see if i could get it to taste less nasty than it smells. I have never baked (or done anything with...

Therein lies the rub, the high humidity in the Chesapeake Bay area won't allow me to just lay it out to dry, or sit it on top of the tv or whatever. I'm right on a river and my stuff will literally absorb moisture from the air and smell and taste, well, kinda like a river. a brackish one at...

Ahhhh.... Another Excalibur cult member. :brow: Professor, I have the 9 tray because i garden and it is huge! so big in fact that it has to live in the basement. I haven't yet run out of room. I hesitated to spend the dough for the fancy schmancy square dehydrator with a fan, but I am so glad i...

OMG! Cheech and Chong were right! fiberweed! lol! it is really great to see all these innovations being made with hemp.

that's funny right there:lol: what about watercuring to remove the fart inducing properties - not sure whether they are water soluble? Or maybe just eat your abv with some gas-x or something? I have just enough ABV saved up for a batch of brownies and I plan on starting the watercuring process...
