Nice Keltic. Zamadelica is also in my ‘interested in’ list. The cross morglie made of Zam and Panama is one of the prettiest plants - based on watching a few members grow it, in photographs.
I just splashed out on the infusion sleeve 
There’s no THC in the cosmetic/skin oils I’ve been looking at. (And I’ve simply been looking at products - not reading much
- we already know it works!).
I‘ve introduced CBD to this pain oil to see what it adds to pain relief. Dr Sulak recently mentioned seeing more and more clinical evidence that CBD enhanced pain killing i topicals. I think that was an insta snippet and i havent chased it up for deeper details.
I’m actually about to take his new CBD course... was supposed to start it a little while back, at the new year, but you know - weather events.... I’m really looking forward to it. Hope to start next week. It’s all self-paced - thanks doc
Regarding my skin oil research, there’s a little bit out there to read about the skin and CBD (but a long time since I did so) and it seems to be fairly widely accepted that CBD is really good for maintaining and healing skin, skin texture etc. I’ve only been researching by way of canvassing what strengths they are and 3mg/ml seems the consistent strength of cosmetics w CBD (no THC). That was in face oils, bath bombs, bath salts etc. I’m going to aim for about 6mg/ml and then dilute, so I can test a stronger batch on myself and for a couple of psoriasis sufferers I know. That’s the next project - made very easy by the addition of the Nova.
I did lowball the WW THC% estimate. I wasnt sure it reached its full potential but it is surely potent, gets one super high. I guess we could rerun the calculations with a higher percentage for that one. Let’s do that! I’ll go back to what SS did by hand and see if I can recreate it for myself. It’s early in the day... should be ok!
All that said tho’, I’ve been making a topical for pain thats about 6-8mg/ml for more than 2 years and it really works, myself and many, many others say so - so there’s going to be nothing lacking in this oil. I’m still golden
I can’t recommend it more hghly. I had dismissed it for years becasue i decideD it was too spendy. Now, i couldn’t be happier! It is a perfect fit for me

Thanks Luiz - i knew it was all weaker, could have asked you all beforehand. ANd that might not have changed what i did!So Amy, you actually used a total of 85 grams of weed in your batch of 3 different materials. I assume the MB worked fine for you. Problem with your batch was 25g had only 4% THC and 34g had only 5% THC. As Shed stated, if it was all 16% THC you would have been golden.
BTW I checked my notes and I have White Widow at 19% THC. I got that number from Dope Seeds website.

In other news. RAIN! Shed-tons of it 
60mm so far and more int eh way. Came in nice and slowly over a day or so too so by the time the torrential stuff hit things were already wet. Hopefully it’s getting in!
The soil is going to be very wet tho’ so maybe it isn’t such a good idea - well, not so much a ‘bad idea’ so much as just ‘not really worth it‘, perhaps. I wouldn’t usually foliar when the soil is soakinG wet. Hmmm... maybe I won’t after all. Wait for the rain to dissipate. Seems i just cancelled out my own initial thought. Does that mean this post is now superfluous?
Hammering rain on and off here now and will continue all night we think. Gosh I’m glad were nowhere near flooding as even this is totally intense. Sending prayers to all those who are. 
so much water. 222mm since Friday (about 9”) and 168mm of that fell inside the last 20hours. Few leaks, nothing major. The wetlands are full to overflowing. I am now aware that this kind of rain on all the hardest hit firegrounds is not so great (too much all at once) - so the natural processes will have even more to deal with and rebuild as they try to repair and restore life to soil communities etc.
Ahhh Bubba. The sound of gentle and steady rain. Even tho it’s too much all at once it is an amazing salve from the post-fire stress. The humidity and the mosquitoes were brutal at first, but once even more rain came and a new round of frogs came to life out in the wetlands, the mozzies dissipated a bit, phewf!
They catch and eat the Jack Jumper ants that I am allergic to, my best friend and protector...
