hydro gone wrong!!!!

hey folks, im back... sorry i have taken so long, i got off work and my neighbors envited me over for shots of captian so im alittle on the tipsy side right now =)

as far as kif... im alittle lost... im used to just picking,drying and smoking

i seen a recipie where you boil the plant in water/oil and let it simmer then put it in a freezer (after you strain it) then once the water freezes you just scoop the oil off the top...

other than that im lost.....

plz.. im drunk and tired, i need help (laughs hysterically)

god im toasted!!!!!

I personally like to cook with stuff like that.

what took you soo long to buy a light, its so neccessary indoors for flowering, i dont think you should scrap it, but there isnt much you can do beside put together a keef screen and hopefull get alot of it. its unfortunate but under cfl's and only 2 of them your flowering will take forever.

I wonder if your the fellow I told a couple months ago that trying to do hydro with CFL's is not the best idea for this reason.
Well good luck.

make butter or oil. i like olive oil, it can be used in salad dressings, etc. Grind the leaves, stems, pistils, etc. The biggest thing to remember is to "double boil". This means fine a pot that fits inside of an even bigger pot. I use a pasta pot (like 12" tall and 14" wide) with a smaller saucepan/pot inside. The water boils the pot that the oil is in, so it never burns it. Add your trimmings to the oil (I like a cup of oil per ounce which ends up making a pretty potent mix depending on the grade you use), I like extra virgin olive oil, and then bowl for 3-4 hours. The water in the big pot will boil, the oil inside the little pot will simmer. Mix it around a couple times an hour, make sure the water level doesnt get to low.

Then dump it all over a jar or bowl or whatever that has a cheescloth strained across it. The oil will pass through, the plant matter will be kept out with the cloth. Then remember to squeeze/press all the oil out of the cheesecloth. Dont forget this, there is a lot in there. I let mine cool to room temp and then its ready to use.

If your making brownies from a package, 90% use oil not butter (although you can substitute). Try to find the brownies that require a half cup of oil, many are only 1/4 cup. I love it mixed with green pesto over some pasta, or with guacamole

as long as pistil are still growing white...I would let it finish...Might be good pot

id prolly make a "green dragon" i can get you a recipie (or it is in recipies forum) this would prolly be the best

actually turned out pretty good and i was satisfied with it

so good deal:thumbsup:

how far away were the lights?

You have a number of options including BHO honey oil, cold water extraction, ISO oil, dry kief. Personally I would do a cold water extraction and make hash.

To do this use a 5gal bucket and fill halfway with water and add a bag of ice. Cut up your plant (dry or not, you get more when dry and frozen) and dunk it in the water. Agitate the water with a stir stick, blender, or some other way for about 5 minutes. Agitate twice or three times and then filter out the plant material and save the water. Your hash is in the water. Let it sit now for about 10-15 minutes, your hash will sink to the bottom. Next filter the water through a coffee filter.

Filtering all that water through a coffee filter takes a while so what I like to do to speed up the process is to siphon off the top 75% of the water. You lose a bit but most is sitting on the bottom of the bucket. Filter this through the coffee filter. Once that is done you can carefully scrape the coffee filter and collect your hash. It will be wet and green. Let it dry out naturally or what I do is press it between my fingers for a while to squeeze out most of the water. The hash will then take on a consistency like primo hash, real sticky, black on the outside and green on the inside, like good bubble.

Hope this helps.
