Great update DD!
Pain salve - CHECK
Capsules - CHECK
Saving money - CHECK
Taste identification - CHECK (finally!)
Transplant - CHECK
That's really awesome DD - everything came together real nicely for you.
Enjoy having the MIL around! Hopefully you get a gap to do some transplanting in the next week or so.
Aftermath
Hi folks. Well, we got it done. MIL arrives today and there is nothing for her to stumble upon. You wouldn’t know what’s going on here if we didn’t tell you.
I followed @Amy Gardner ’s excellent directions for infusing oil. I adapted the recipe slightly using 20g instead of 9g to a cup of organic, cold pressed EVOO.
I decarbed at 115*C for 90min in a closed foil pouch. This was my nod to preserving terpenes as I did not refrigerate or freeze the material between decarboxylation and infusion. Getting it done.
Infused at 85*C for 7hrs.
Half of it went this way: (@SweetSue ’s body butter pain cream...)
And then in to jars..
And half had lecithin added, then after 24hrs we could fill some capsules.
And there are two of my goals complete. The pain cream works a charm. Neck already a better place to be. Use will be ongoing.
It makes me smile that it was free. At the price we had been paying each tub of pain cream would have cost a hundred dollars.
The capsules are great! They work a charm. One gave me pain relief for hours yesterday. It was remarkable. Two is a slight buzz. Five before a bath is ok tooI haven’t yet crunched our guesses through the spreadsheet to calculate the dose more scientifically.
So the harvest is all packed down into 7 jars now for burping.
The taste has been driving me crazy. I thought it reminded me of strawberry bubblegum, but it’s mango! The exhale tastes just like a mango lassi. I’ve never tasted anything like this. Potent too!
Then I had to do something with the veg area. Roots weren’t as full as I would’ve liked for transplanting, but we won’t get a chance to do anything here for the next 3 weeks.
They don’t have the protection of a heater any more. In fact they have the opposite. It has been snowing here for the last couple of days. Temperatures are not likely to reach double figures in the tent - the HPS has been packed away.
Fingers crossed for signs of life a month from now.
Keep free!
I live were weather like that is normal during the winter, remember what lettuce will do in your freezer at that temp.
Great journal, right out of the gate! I heard awesome montage music in my head going through your pictures
Plants are looking great! I’m excited to pull up a chair and watch the fun begin
and good to see you 
Thanks for popping in, folks
I know exactly what you’re talking about John. Our coldest week of the year and wouldn’t you know it!
If I didn’t have jars (and hence, a vape) full of gorgeous ganga I’d be much more nervous about it. Not that there is any more I can do, so there’s no point worrying anyway, right? (Wake and vape this morning canya tell?)
I did get to check on everyone yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.
After 5 days of neglect they don’t seem worse for wear. The four largest got bigger. The tall one got taller. The clones that weren’t showing roots a week ago now are. It’ll be a while yet before they get up-potted.
All in all I’m optimistic that we’ll see another Isabelle run come out of here.
Touch wood.
I splashed around a bit of grow nutes, calmag and silica then gave them a foliar Rx of neem and diatomaceous earth before zipping up.
And hello!
That is one of the most interesting comments I’ve read on 420 and I take it as a huge compliment
Are you a musician? I have music in my head almost constantly - only recently found out it’s normal enough for people like us.
My bagseed Isabelles had awesome montage music too - at least whenever I opened the tent.
As far as watching the fun begin, SR, I’m afraid we’re just heading in to a hiatus. While there isn’t much gardening going on at the moment there is still as much music as we can get. Took everyone to The Mikado last night and great fun was had by all.
Thanks...I believe I was smoking some cookies and cream at the time 
Lovely harvest DD great job. I missed the whole show but watching now lol.
My dad's favorite G&S operetta. He performed it at summer camp in the 1930s, and though he remembers nothing of his past, he can still sing every note and around 80% of the lyrics.
Thanks for the ups! Yeah, we’re still a bit thrilled.
