  1. No bud dont think you following me or I am not explaining properly lol. They dont fill the bottle you take it in and they swap it for a full one , like LPG gas bottles . So you getting a different tank every time you go to refill 

  2. Yip .it's gone up a lot and I suppose different regions  , I wouldn't pay it . Rather look for a bottle you can buy . They like lpg gas bottles , they not surposed to be sold publicly but people do. Then it's a 1000 once off for the bottle . When I say its 37kg co2 I mean the actually co2 content not the total weight , it's a 100kg odd bottle 

  3. You will never remove all the butane without a vacuum pump , you want the butane to be under 50ppm for safe consumption . I would reccomend after extracting with butane dissolve it in ethanol which will remove all the butane and then evaporate the ethanol off . This will give you a safe product for consumption. Butane is non polar and ethanol is a bi polar solvent so butane will give you a cleaner product but is harder to get rid of. Ethanol on the other hand is easier to get rid of but will give you a contaminated product , that's why I would reccomend first blasting with butane then using the ethanol to purge the butane 

     

    Hot water baths and time will only remove so much butane and will destroy your canabanoids . Heat will also ruin a good extract , never go above 38 degrees

  4. For a 37kg co2 its R660 a refill , R2700 deposit and a R100 a month rental . There are bottles for sale though if you look hard but they are like hens teeth . I own 3 cost me R1000 a bottle , it works like LPG gas you take your empty back and they give you a full one . @CG420za you could but those tiny bottles wont last long and you wont find a regulator that will fit them properly .

     

    Also remember the regulator will cost you about R1400 and the co2 controller will cost you about R10000.

  5. By making extracts or oils you can regulate your dosage better and have more if a consistent medicine without testing for the home user . If you made a good extract you know roughly how strong it is . You then can take your extract and use it in edibles or whatever you want to make . It's all about consistancy for your meds , if you though a handful of flowers into coconut oil you will get a different product every time but if you do an extraction and then use the extract you get a lot more of a consistent medication

    For me it looks like nutrient lockout due to pH imbalance.

    More than likely right on this one , just read the medium he was using

  7. What I mean is you will only recover about 70% of the canabanoids as not everything will dissolves in the coconut oil as the coconut oil will only hold so much , you could add a lot of coconut oil to flower but then you will end up with a weak extract  . Take the left over flowers from the coconut oil extraction and make cannabutter

  8. Been using fabric lots for years , So many variables involved in this . Fabric pots will dry faster , by the pots drying faster has its pros and cons . Firstly it will add a lot of extra humidity to the room so you will either need to compensate by adding extra dehumidifiers in a sealed room or extra extraction to a normal room . It will also allow you to feed more by as long as your plants are able to use the extra nutes . It also adds extra co2 into the root zone because as it drys it pulls in fresh air . Fabric pots will also help beginners not overwater . 

    I have been using some bags for about 3 years and they are starting to need replacing . As long as you can cope with the humidity there is no disadvantage to using them
