How long until NM DOH MCP approval?
I think you're right, alfonso, that lots of people with PPL do not actually grow. It's like most things. Looks easy until you try it, and then you have to decide whether it's worth the hassle. Even with being legal, the question arises. You have to hide it to some degree, like when visitors come, or the furnace guy has to go upstairs. Not that it is shame, but not a good idea to let too much word of knowledge creep out into the world. So there is worry on top of expense. Probably lots of people try growing but don't pursue it long enough to learn how to do it right, get the right equiepment, make plenty of room for it in the house, etc.

I'm in Abq also. Early on I grew out some clones I got from a friend of a friend in Colorado. They were good, but came with spider mites. Other than that, and other than making a few clones for myself, I'm mostly growing from seed. Sure is a hassle from seed, though.
I'm also using the FF stuff, Ocean Forest, Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom. I've always used Don't Bug Me for mites, and have used it to ereadicate bugs I already had, and then I use it preventatively every couple of weeks or so on the assumption that the bugs are there.
I've made butter before, but the taste just gags me. I also have trouble modulating the dose, so if I use a little too much it makes me feel less than good. Right now I'm thinking about bubble hash for the trimmings from what is now in soil. Researching the internets for info about the best equipment and procedures. I sure hate to waste all that lovely sugary trim.

Then you do grow some nice bud. How did you make that butter? I add butter to a big pot let it get soft then add trim and bud to the pot mix it alittle then add water then bring to a boil then lower the flame to just over a simmer let it go for 3-4 hours. when done let it cool alittle then use cheesecloth top of a strainer put all your water and bud through it into a gallon plastic pitcher squeeze as much as you can out of the cheesecloth and sit it in the freezer over night next day the water in the pitcheris frozen at this point you will see 3 layers of green colors the very top is what you want I take a bread knife and cut that top layer off and wa la you have butter. If you use the lower layer it will taste bad. but if you use only the top layer you should not get a bad taste. And again you have to use good stuff in your butter. Remember shit in shit out. As for the bubble hash I use bubble bags and they are not cheap. you can do it 2 ways with ice water or dry ice . The dry ice way you come out with more of a kief than what I know as hash. but it is good stuff if you are looking for that rush.

Thnks for the info alfonso... I made butter twice. Both times I did it with a crockpot in water, added a little vodka along the way, let it simmer at very low heat for about 12 hours, then strained and refrigerated. I probbly should have not used the entire cake, maybe that's where I went wrong on the flavor. Man, that stuff was rank. I finally got to where I couldn't stomach it. But it WOULD hit hard. Both times I used a combination of budleaf and small buds. The second time I actually used three oz of cured flowers because I was a bit over the limit... want to play close to the rules. I used a ratio of about five oz material, mixed bud and budleaf (no fans) to 4 lb of good butter.
I'm finished with the butter, though. Now I'm thinking hash. I'm researching bags now. What do you recommend? I've had bubble hash before, and it was very refreshing, a nice alternative to vaping and smoking flowers.
