I have looked at them before, I’ll check them out again. The environment is much easier to control indoors and you can get a few turns a year. A friend brought me a pretty little clone tonight.

Rather than muck up the gardening thread all the time I thought I would start a thread for the dark side gardeners “pot and shrooms and such.” I’m planting my over winter plants now. I have 2 Blue dream photo period plants started and 3 Strawberry pie plants popping and just ordered Killer A5 Haze to finish off my winter run.

I’ve always hung to dry and then cure in quart jars for a couple of weeks.

It'd be an awesome gesture if you were to make RSO for the local cancer sufferers.
It kills pain better than Endone.

A friend of mine has been experimenting with a tea infuser and making tea, he says it does wonders for his achy broken down joints, I may be trying some myself. the buds are free, he knows a guy that grows way more than he and his wife can consume themselves. That's what he and I did Friday and part of the day yesterday. The guy was tired of trimming and was to the point he was going to pitch the plants we worked on, we still have 4 hanging to do next.

I used to dream that someday I could walk in and ask for a pack of Columbian Gold. Looks like I made it. Now I gotta wait till retirement, pesky job.

 

[Magus]

Red hair since, Christmas tree. there's ganja out there now that makes the old breeds seem like schwag.

Made a few tins of salve last night and base for several batches. I used a half pound of bud in this batch. We have been shocked at the people who want the pain relieving cream.

Do you make 2 different creams? The tins look cream colored and the jars look like its a green salve? Or is it the color of the jars?

 

[freelove]

Thinking of making bitters. Has anyone done this? Any help or advice?

It’s all the same, it just depends on what jars we get. The tins are what we use for little samples for people to try.

What are bitters?

 

[freelove]

Bitters are concentrated flavor extracts made by infusing herbs, spices, roots, and other botanicals in alcohol. They are mostly used to add depth and complexity to cocktails, enhancing the overall flavor profile and creating a more well-rounded drink. There are countless varieties of bitters available, with their purpose ranging from digestive aids to flavoring agents used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Bitters play an important role in the creation of sophisticated cocktails and mocktails,

A bitters is traditionally an alcoholic preparation flavored with botanical matter for a bitter or bittersweet flavor. Originally, numerous longstanding brands of bitters were developed as patent medicines, but now are sold as digestifs, sometimes with herbal properties, and as cocktail flavorings. Wikipedia

your question made me think of this video from skillcult several years ago.

No. I have a friend who was a biology major in college. He discussed poppy seeds with a professor. Evidently they are treated somehow so that they won't sprout. Professor told him that if he tried to grow some from the spice jar you can buy in the grocery store, some might likely sprout. He tried, they did. My Czech g grandmothers grew poppy seeds for kolache, buchty and poppy seed cake.

My winter crop is smaller than normal 3 photo flowers and 3 auto flowers. I usually have 6 autos but it gets tight in my little grow room. They are all up and looking good. Should be harvesting the autos in around 2 months.
