! Dutch Passion Hollands Hope Feminised Seeds - Herbies Seeds "When I was young I wanted to grow up to be.... what Hollywood told me I should be as an adult... 2.4 children, white picket fence, 9-5 job, etc. But then, in high school I found cannabis, and discovered that not everything was as it...

Just on a side note, researchers in Australia have discovered how lavender (smell) affects bees (and probably humans) in ways that you wouldn't think: Catalyst: Honey Bee Brains and Lavender - ABC TV Science It not only calms them (as anyone who uses essential oils already knows), but can also...

LabRat has spoken about an SCET method here: Improved yield RSO And to answer your competitive inhibition question... no, we're not using supplements yet. Have been looking into it and will try and track them down when I do my next supplement order.

Any idea if the vegetable oil that you use for this extraction technique matters? I don't really like heating olive oil much and would prefer to use coconut oil. Does anyone know if this will affect the potency, bioavailability, etc?

White Widow crown (free seed from Herbies) that I was able to harvest just after the summer solstice because of an early planting (and flowering). Grown in aquaponics as usual: And here's some chunky Paradise Nebula that also just got harvested (well, two thirds of the plant - the...

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge You can send the alcohol through the still as many times as you like, but the distilling forums say that for safety it should never be higher than 80 proof. Having said this, I (we) do send 185-190 proof through when making the oil, but technically that's...

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge Yeah, this one won't blow up, it's all safe. The still itself is factory standard and I understand the way everything works. Explosions usually happen from pipes getting blocked or vapors igniting (from leaks, etc). I think some moonshiners use fire/flames...

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge Just a note on how I use my still... I use a 30L boiler (like a large electric urn) for turning my yeasty wash into 93-95% alcohol. From about 25L I get 3.5L of spirit (costs under $5 in consumables). I then use a smaller, double-boiler that I made out of a...

Huh... interesting wildjim... I've just been reading several other pages/links on why it's ok to drink distilled water... and now I'm not so sure it is bad for you. Yet another important health issue where there's two sides that contradict each other :thedoubletake: Thanks for the info.

From what I've read regarding distilled water it does leach minerals and electrolytes from the body. But, do a google search and you will come up with dr's saying both sides - it's ok to drink, it's not ok to drink. I would do what you're thinking John - a pinch of Himilayan salt. Lots of...

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge I mentioned it over in the other RSO thread as well... don't drink distilled water on a regular basis. It is not healthy. It will cause minerals to leach out of the body. Get a Reverse Osmosis filter with re-mineralization - I have one of these and it's...
