Nice bud it shows the CBD trichomes well
Hi, nice grow
I'm currently on my 1st ever autoflower grow of this strain for the same reasons, depression and anxiety. Have put up a grow journal. So far it's going quite well I think.
I have a question about the oil you made a few posts up.
Did you make the oil with fresh buds? How long would I need to dry before I can sample or make some coconut oil?
Any tips would be really appreciated as a total newb when it comes to the oil making process and want to get the most out of what I've grown.
Cheers

Hi There.
I also have a grow journal for the Auto version, completed a while back
My method for curing and making oil has changed a bit. For the non-auto grow journal, I dried the the buds on their stems hanging in my tent for one week then jar cured them for 3 weeks, opening the jars once per day to let some fresh air in. Then using a cheap coffee grinder I processed 10 grams. I decarbed that in an oven. Forget that details of time and temp, but it's probably in my journal somewhere. After that I dumped the decarbed stuff into a slow cooker with 2 cups (500ml) of liquid coconut oil. I let it cook on the lowest setting for about 6 hours. I let if cool off for an hour then strained through cheese cloth into a mixing bowl. Then I poured that into mason jar. That process worked well except for the smell that overcame our house lol.
For the auto version I ground up 14 grams (wanted it a bit stronger) and skipped the decarb process. Somewhere I read that decarb will happen in my next steps which is also different. I put the ground bud and 1/2 cup of liquid coconut oil into a mason jar. Then put the jar into the slow cooker which had was up to the same level as the oil in the jar. I ran that on the lowest temp for the same duration I think, however with oven mitts, I 'burped' the jar every hour to release any pressure. Turns out there was a little pressure each time, so that was good. Same straining process, separate the oil from the ground bud. Btw. after straining the cheese cloth + bud make one hell of a tea bag. Threw mine in the freezer and using it when I notice it. Decarbing in the jar seemed to work, as the oil same strength as last time. No house smell either.
[Edit:] Forgot to mention, I decided to try water curing for this Auto. Worked well. Nearly no smell when smoking which works for me in my situation. I wrote about that that in my grow journal.
My auto grow should be in a signature link below.
The Dinamed Auto strain seems to be the simplest way to make your own CBD...I love it! Now I'm just waiting for an auto version of the Blue Dream CDB; then I'm all set :smoking:

Thanks for taking the time to reply. This is so helpful.
I guess reading this post I assumed you'd made some oil without the extra 3 weeks burping the bud.. Well I was kinda hoping anyway because I'd like to make some as soon as possible.
You do anything with the trim? Leaves, stems and sugar leaves etc?
Which did you prefer to grow. The photo or auto?
And lastly, if I do 1 ounce per cup of oil, how much is a good dose for depression and anxiety?
I'll look into water curing as sounds interesting.
I prefer auto. I've also grown regular and feminizedm but Auto suites my personal circumstances for the time being.
You know, without curing is something I might try next time. Maybe a split test between cure an no cure. I have saved the leaves and put them in the freezer. Not sure what I'll do with them.
About the 1 ounce...it might be hard to get it to immersed in 1 cup of oil. Maybe 1 cup with 14 grams, then a second session with same oil an additional 14 grams? Don't know about what would be a good dose, that's depends on the person. It takes very little for me. With my 1 cup with 14 grams I only need 2 or 3 ml per day.
I decided on 40 grams into 1000ml of oil.
Then into 250ml glass jars
I think 1 cup is 284ml so 10 grams in 250ml seems fine.
I take about a heaped teaspoon (6ml - 10ml) and its working wonders. I also use to moisturise.
Not sure on what strength that would be but it's a great tasty finished product.
Overall I'm very happy.
I got 5.7 ounces dry and trimmed out of 2 plants.
