  1. I have a chemical engineer who lives across the road from me suggested baking soda and vinegar. I haven't tried it or seen it being done. I will hit him up for other solutions. Acetic acid = CH3COOH, baking soda = sodium bicarbonate = NaHCO3 NaHCO3 + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2(g) One mole of acid reacts with one mole of soda to produce one mole of CO2 gas molar mass of sodium bicarbonate = 84.01 g/mol molar mass of acetic acid = 60.05 g/ml 3.69 g of soda = 3.69/84.01 = 0.04392 mol 50 mL 5% acetic acid is 0.05*50 = 2.5 g. = 2.5/60.05 = 0.04163 mol (the density of acetic acid is very close to that of water = 1g/mL) Acetic acid is the limiting reactant, so 0.04163 mol of CO2 is produced (theoretically) the volume of CO2 is found from the gas law, V = n*R*T/P V = volume in L T = temp in ºK P = pressure in atm R = 0.08207 L-atm/ºK-mol
  2. Awesome to see you here MonsterMunch! Looks like drawing a pretty good crowd here at 420. You certainly can help indoor newbie's to the advanced. We go back a long while, just seems weird to call you monstermunch when I know you. So could I call you MO instead? promise I am not going for a three stooges line. Your indoor is impressive, which I have seen. I look forward to a little show and tell for the rest of the forum when you ready mate.
  3. I still have a mind fuse blow out every time I am in the Cali Gardens. The smell and size is just unreal. 10 -12 ft (m) high X 8 ft wide I heard the tall stories before actually seeing them, I can validate them. I dream to replicate it on that scale and size here in SA. I don't do anything of note at the moment, too much activity where I am at, so well placed "pot plants" ha ha is all I can do at the moment but working on it !!
  4. Hi TK As you will soon find out there are 1000's of opinions out there, I do use blackstrap in SA but not in the finishing stages last 5-7 days or so. When doing final leaching I just use clean water with no additives as I flush the system before harvest results are negligible. The argument of harvesting before the light come on or go off there is no evidence so far that shows any measurable difference. I do find however on very hot days (outdoor) when harvesting tree gets a little flacid when cut down, but does not effect the outcome. The weight wet vs dry is about 75% weight loss. I do use dehumidifier to speed things up and also a humidifier setup if the buds are too crunchy for trimming.
  5. IMHO http://www.bubblefilterbags.com are the best. Durable and have done many washes so far. Third season so far and going strong. We are using the largest bags as the volume vs RSA in just wicked 873lb of trimming done this season alone
  6. I got ya, I hear you. A whole lot of numbers get thrown out there less than 1% residue etc. People throw out these percentages without being able to say if they're accurate or not, and without knowing if even 1 percent butane might be harmful. The extraction is fine. Just to clarify from a medical stance. Scott Durrah and many more have done major investigation and the the verdict is still out the absolute purest method to get the good stuff I suggest looking into ice water extraction Sure setup is a little pricey but once you got the goods you are set # hash bag can set up back up to $1000 yes thats right but last if you dry them off after use and don't shake the bottoms out when pulling the bags you can get years of use. The tri-chromes release very well, ice, RO water (removes all the, calcium, borate metals, etc. out) and "bags" to capture the goodness and this is what the product looks like best of all 100% clean 3 or 4 different grades while extracting 220 190 160 110 90 73 45 and 25 micron bags in a kit 90 is food grade and the lower you go the higher the grades are So in conclusion BHO is fine but once you go ice extraction you kinda get sold on it. There is a slight risk for normal use, long term nobody knows yet. Just like fluoride in the water 50 years of pumping it into our water told its good for you why is most European countries banning it ? The first is 25u and second 45u (wicking water there) beautiful clear 100% clean hash, if you look carefully in the second pic you can see the other grades, unfortunately I have too many pics with my face in them will look for other bits to help along the way What you are looking at is 3rd Place HASH LA CUP 2013 - This year 1st Place Solventless Secret Cup LA 2014 (no pics yet)
  7. Over the 22 years I have been around marijuana. The amount of info available is overwhelming. The Grow scene evolves almost every 2 years. Methods and ideas are abundant. The US market is shifting from plain bud moving straight to wax and extractions one day in the near future trimmers will be out of the picture. Here is link to wet the appetite The medical side is extremely interesting if want you mind blown skip to 30 min in and see for yourself what the professionals say. These is so much to know and learn everyday. I am NOT a fan of BHO extractions as I believe it taints the product especially if used for medicine, normal recreational smoking not an issue. I will post on clean and beautiful extractions in the new year ( got to get the OK first from the powers that be (USA) coming soon!!!
  8. Nice dabbing rig. The temp control definitely as must for the serious dabber, Butane torch rigs can't compare for those who want to check out the King of the dabbing/melts/wax etc scene on instagram checkout Fullflavamedibles and fullflavaextracts
  9. Some science What ever method you wish to use for extraction hope fully these can fill in the gaps Cannabis_Alchemy_-_D._Gold.pdf Do_It_Yourself_-_THC_Resin_Extraction.pdf
  10. Here is a few books to help you on your way Good Luck! Basic_Hydroponics_System.pdf Hydroponics-The_Basics-.pdf
  11. tga genetics subcool seeds. genetics are very good, have personal experience growing in California with them. Born in the medical growers circles. Yields, node spacing tight, lateral growth superb, fast growing, unbelievable hash from their strains. SA would be excellent location with auto flowering strains especially outdoors. Indoors dynamite!! performers for sea of green grows

    Hello

    Just a few things to keep in mind for the future. The CBD THC and THCA active components have various effects the CB1 & CB2 receptors in the brain through the endo-canabanoid system . Curing, drying and extraction will also vary the potency. The paranoia is due to the over stimulation in the penial gland which regulates other endocrine functions and converts signals from the nervous system into endocrine signals. Triggers the fight or flight response due to increased heart rate and blood pressure etc. as adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine levels increase in the blood stream when you smoke I suggest trying another variety, inspect your product closely to ensure no mold, not laced with anything that looks foreign and get product for a trusted supplier better yet growing your own you know what you getting and what has gone into product. When you first starting out don't make things to complicated, concentrate on a regular routine , don't overreact and add to much fertilizer and additives trying to rush things along. Simple is better and patience. more than half the fun is growing the consumption is the cherry on the cake. Choose strains to suit your environment. Don't advertise to your friends or talk openly about what you are doing. Less is more, make small changes and never show your grow to anybody.
  13. I float between SA and the USA currently in SA
