No quite sure what you mean Shamen but I would suggest grow diaries as that is the suitable board. What are you scared of?

@Shamen no problem bud. Would you like to keep the thread under the grow diaries?

Hi @Shamen you appear to be running 2 threads with very similar content. Why is that?

You guys can now create quizzes on your own for other members to do.

If you're into cannabis juicing and using the plant as a whole then perhaps its best to find an alternative to neem just to be on the safe side. I've read up on the possible benefits of using peppermint and rosemary essential oils as pesticide sprays. Something you can make at home as well. They smell way better too

I've noticed bad effects on the plants after spraying with the recommended dosages. I think if the concentration of the oil is too high on the leaves it will get too hot, especially indoors and will literally fry the leaf. I've seen quite a lot of talk lately of the campaign against neem oil. Perhaps there's some truth to this. Neem oil is meant to disrupt the digestive system of pests. There's just the question of whether it can affect humans as well. It shouldnt be all over the bud anyway.. @Green Leaf Organics do you spray anything as a preventative?

Isn't cannabis club running something along these lines?

Im afraid not bud. You need a tangible tag in your photo. In other words the tag must be a physical tag you can touch. Not a tag you place onto the photo with photoshop, paint etc. See the other entries

Thanks bru

Looks about right yes

I read, from one source, that its better to harvest a high CBD strain early as CBD degrades quicker than THC. How much truth is there to that and should we be following that guideline? My CBD strains are a day away from the chop according to the breeder but they certainly aren't ready in my view. The one has begun to start its swell but the others aren't even there yet. With THC not being a priority, does it actually matter if you harvest the plant too soon? Or perhaps is it beneficial to wait a bit longer to allow the plants to put on more mass?

Well by the looks of it I'm gonna need a distillation flask and a condenser. The flask needs to be at least 500ml, preferably starting from 1L. Just started looking into this now so not sure if that's all I'll need. Shot though. Super useful you are lol

Well aware of the risks of course. How is this distillation process more dangerous than purging the ethanol into the atmosphere? Keep in mind I wont have any open flames going

Im also checking out experilab. They looked promising at first but stock seems limited. They dont seem to have the right condenser as well

Something like this?

Would you be able to show this to me in practical form? A boiling flask is the round bottomed flask right and a condenser is that coil like thing right?

Dont these water distillers work? Some are priced 2k to 4k

Cool will probably get from them. Thanks all for the input.... now my next pursuit is a distiller to recycle the solvent. Any ideas?

Thanks a million@greenkush Whose prices are these? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

They listed Herbasol Extraction Alcohol (5L) on the quotation. Googled it and came by this ad https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-other-home-garden-items/queensburgh/herbasol-alcohol-herbal-extraction-solvent/1003390626950911163622209 Clearly targetting cannabis oil makers. Does indeed say its denatured but is somehow safe for herbal extraction, is that possible? This will be my first time making oil so I'm not sure about methanol ey. I mean if I dont purge 100% does that mean possible blindness? lol I'd still ideally want ethanol that isn't denatured so what could I expect to pay for 2 to 3 litres? Levy and all... If you can even get amounts as low as that

Contacted Ace Chem and they don't sell food grade ethanol or ethanol safe for human consumption. I got a quote from Enterprise. 10L for R1127.00. Does that sound like a reasonable amount?

Yes

Does anyone know or tried these guys ethanol? https://enterpriseethanol.co.za Are they legit?

Yes. Quizzes can only be done on the website. Just visit the site in a browser
