Dinafem Dinafem Blue Amnesia XXL & White Widow XXL

[Dinafem-Mark]

I think you may have created a couple of FIM junkies. I find myself pacing in front of my seedlings now with a pair of scissors waiting to cut. Think I might be freaking them out a lil. Pretty sure Mav nailed it with his last cut.

I can think of worse addictions lol

Looks good to me buddy Give her a few days to recover and we will see the response from the plant

@faded187 @MesaBoogie Thanks for the help gentlemen. This is one reason we love the AFN

Hey everyone, quick update with some photos from yesterday which marked day 24.

The 2 Dinafem's are still the 2 leaders of the tent. The WW has really caught up the last few days and is thriving. I have to admit I just broke one of her big fans a few minutes ago my mistake...first time I've done that. Was doing my usual leaf tucking and it just snapped. The fans on the WW are so big it sounded like a carrot being snapped in half. Hopefully she doesn't get too upset.

The Blue Amnesia is starting a couple shoots where she was FIM'd. The WW hasn't done much there, I am starting to concede that I may have in fact topped her instead by mistake. If FIM'ing is originally a result of missing a top IE "Fu&k I Missed", is there a term for missing the "Fu&k I Missed"? Would it be "Fu&k I Missed the Fu&k I Missed"? So FIMTFIM? Something to ponder anyways...

Looking good!

Thanks @Maria Sanchez

I noticed in your sig you're currently smoking (consuming I assume) "Canna-coconut Oil"

I am actually right in the process of making my first batch. I am doing the mason jar method in my crock pot. Did 1 cup of coconut oil to a half oz decarbed 10% 1:1 THC/CBD sativa I recently harvested. 4 hours in and was going to run it to 6 at 180f. Hoping to try a few recipes tomorrow. What's your favorite consumption method? Any advice/tips would be appreciated! Cheers

Consuming. Was. Then moved onto a kind of RSO but with olive oil added.

For the coconut oil, my process was:

1. Decarb in oven for 30 min (for THC strains, I later used 60 min for CBD strains).*
2. Break down the buds. No need to grind too fine. I did about 15 g = 1/2 oz.
3. Put broken buds in a cloth pouch. Finer would be better.
4. Melt the coconut oil, using a double boiler method (keeps it at 100 C). Did 200 ml IIRC.
5. Add the pouch.
6. Keep stirring that oil with the pouch, for ... 8 or 12 hrs, cannot remember. A long time!
7. Keep stirring that oil with the pouch.... goes a bit green / yellow.
8. Remove pouch and strain hard, squeeze.
9. Let it sit and cool, will probably solidify (though my room temp keeps it liquid).
10. Store in fridge.

* I also did 60 min decarb for THC:CBD strains of 1:1 and 1:2, Honey Peach CBD and Industrial Plant CBD.
Your ration of 1/2 oz to one cup is almost exactly the same as mine.
I think 180 F may be too low.
I thought it was 117 C, which is about ... 240 F.

Consumption method. Had to experiment for dosage.
A big heaped teaspoon was about right for me.
I'm not very large, so you may / probably need more!
The buds were middle quality, had crystals, but nothing spectacular.
I just add it to my morning coffee, and add a teaspoon of lecithin.

That dosage will start to set in after about 1 hr, building up to peak around 4-6 hrs.
Then slowly taper off, but can feel the edges about 10 hrs later.
That's pretty much a full days worth.

My present RSO style is after decarb buds in ethyl alcohol 95%.
Then maybe 200 ml alcohol / 15 g = 1/2 oz, running through twice in a cloth pouch.
And using a fine coffee strainer after that to remove finer particles.
Then put the alcohol in double boiler, keeping at 90 C (or whatever alcohol evap temp is).
Once I get down to the last few ml of alcohol, I add about 8-9 ml olive oil.
That's to keep the resultant oil smoother and more liquid.
First time I didn't do that, and the RSO was so damn hard, couldn't get out of syringe...
Ended up giving myself a huge hit because hard to control dosage with such high concentrations...
(I'm guessing that first RSO was in the 80-90% range.)
Add the oil brings it down to maybe 10-20%, easier to heat up from the fridge.
And more flexible in dosage, just a full dropper tube under the tongue.
Depending on strain and quantity of bud, about one full dropper has similar effect to the coconut oil.

This is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing this. Interesting about de-carbing CBD strains for longer, I did 45 mins this time at 240f but will up it to 60 mins next time. The 180f was the temp it was in the oil and I ended up running it for 6 hours in the crockpot. Everything I read pointed me to 180f but maybe that wasn't hot enough?

I made a batch of cookies but didn't make them potent enough. You have to eat 3 to get a strong buzz, I will double the coconut oil next time around. I am playing it cautious since I don't have much experience with edibles and have definitely eaten too much in past attempts! It's also interesting the effect of eating a 1:1 strain compared to a THC dominant strain. Much more relaxed with less psychoactive properties, at least in my limited experience so far. Is that consistent with your experience? I haven't tried as much as a TBSP yet but am planning to try an increased dose this coming weekend.

Thanks for sharing your RSO recipe, I'm going to give that a shot for sure. I have already purchased the items for gummy bears so that is possibly going down this weekend, it should be fairly simple since I can use coconut oil to make them.

I really appreciate the detailed reply It's a big help, cheers

The 2 Dinafem's are still the 2 leaders of the tent. The WW has really caught up the last few days and is thriving.

The fans on the WW are so big it sounded like a carrot being snapped in half. Hopefully she doesn't get too upset.

That's what we like to hear the Dinafem girl's are leading the pack and looking in tip top shape

The Blue Amnesia is starting a couple shoots where she was FIM'd. The WW hasn't done much there, I am starting to concede that I may have in fact topped her instead by mistake. If FIM'ing is originally a result of missing a top IE "Fu&k I Missed", is there a term for missing the "Fu&k I Missed"? Would it be "Fu&k I Missed the Fu&k I Missed"? So FIMTFIM? Something to ponder anyways...

Now you know why it's called Fim mate as you can imagine many people have f,d the tech up and missed

It's all a learning curve mate and so far your doing a fine job and learning as you go

Thanks for the update buddy

You're both too kind!

I would have loved to have documented both the coco oil and RSO/olive oil,
with photos or even video, but I was busy enough without all that.
Because the RSO/olive was about 4 or 5 batches, it got easier and better quality.
The batches were THC:CBD ratios of 2:1, 1:1, a straight THC and a straight CBD.

I won't be going back to the coco oil, mainly because the length of time.
The alcohol on double boiler was quite safe, with a fan, windows open and no flame.
One batch took about ... an hour, I guess. Compared with 8+ for the coco oil...
