Hey I have a question that I would love to be answered by Weedhound or Flame if I am so lucky as to hear from him
I have spent many hours reading almost all some 750-800 post (I have missed about 100 or so). In regards to using crock pots.
Early on in the thread there was some discussion about when using crock pots an alternative to simply placing the coffee cup in the center of the crock pot was to place water in the crock pot and place the coffee cup in water.
Flame moved away from this because of the fact many were having an issue with what was later discovered was the temp not getting high enough.
My 1st question
For some one willing to monitor the temp and willing to cycle the temp back and forth between high and low to keep the temp around 225 for at least 4-6 hrs. Cant it be used?
In regards to the process from what i have read in this thread Are the following critical items that would ruin a batch?
1. Temp must be maintained above the temp to melt the trichromes and bond the THC to the oil but below the vape temp which would effect its potency.
2. Time is dependent on temp. Basically if what I understand is correct. High temp means short cook time and low cook temp means longer cook times.
3. Grinding the weed. The better its grinned the better chance for couch lock. Basically i want to expose as much surface area of the weed as possible to the oil. If all you have is a basic 3 stage grinder is that enough if you grind the shit out of it? i mean grind the shit out it.
4. The weed. Its a vital ingredient why wouldn't the quality matter?
In regards to using ABV let me ask a general question before I get into a specific. We all know that you cant just eat weed alone and get high. The THC has to be activated or realeased via heat /alcohol. Does the some hold true for AB V Could someone just swallow ABV and get the same effects as cooking with it.
