I'm not a happy camper, so I post this disclaimer, I need to cool off for awhile....before I say something I might regret! Later!
 
Funny, Canna grew just fine before they started pedaling these bullshit "finishers". Write to them, ask them to show you the science behind it. There isn't any! Science proves the opposite. Go read on how plants take in and move and store nutrients and you'll see for your self. Its an old, hippie myth and the thieving nute companies figured out a new way to fleece unsuspecting growers. Do hydroponic veggie growers flush there plants?? They'd laugh at anyone asking.

You want to trust the nutrient companies, that's ok. But if you don't believe they'll sell you shit you don't need, your wrong.

I didn't make this shit up either. I spent a year trying to find the right information. Plant Biology will set people straight.
Yea I just "flush" with H20

Opps I almost forgot to mention when it comes to extraction solvents, you have "Polar" and "Nonpolar" solvents.
I'm not going to go into it, as it is better explained by them who know , such as Erowid (it's not my area of expertise).
Erowid will explain if your interested in the difference between them.

If extractions are your thing then this will be of interest.

So I think the final report on the batch of tincture I made is ready.

2ml is a wee bit too much for a daily dose. Going to add 25% straight booze to bring down the concentration a bit so it's easier to gauge the effects of the doses. I.e. a .5 ml error doesn't result in heart palpitations...

Other than that, it's not too bad. With the additional booze, I'll have 200ml, or 100 doses. All from just under an ounce of scraps and popcorn.

Definitely worth the effort.

@912GreenSkell I'll file one of those forms tomorrow probably. Been too busy cleaning out the tank from the GG4 grow. The base of the plant grew into part of the tank, so I have to cut bits away a small amount at a time or risk damaging the plastic. I think at this point i'll let it dry a bit and hope it becomes a bit more brittle.

Good stuff bud! I blows my mind how strong this stuff must be for the amount of pot used

It is important for growers to monitor the levels to ensure their products are in compliance with their state’s regulatory guidelines.” And those can vary considerably.


Where regulators do require testing cannabis for heavy metals, the list usually includes arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. “Other states, like Maryland, include additional elements to be tested for such as barium, chromium, selenium and silver,”


All cannabis strains take up heavy metals at a different rate so that’s why we need too flush the plant out ....

If product isn’t flushed it will smoke black and crackle, the heavy metals above need too in reasonable amounts,

Archie made a good statement if white ash is so good why does it burn white, try some imported cigarettes they spark like hell, but the main factor is nobody said smoking was healthy in the first place it realises carbon monoxide and if heavy metals are smoked good luck too a lot of things, some of which are cancer causing and lung damage will considerably be more. Compared too a white ash....
