Well, well, well... Howdy Folks!
It's been a while since I was here, but thought I should make some final comments about Miz Dubya's fate and the results of the harvest.
All-in-all not bad, but not that great either. The dressed dry weight of around 1.25 lbs was way better than I had expected. All the trim and half the bud went into oil production. I used a grain alcohol leach to strip the plant material after grinding in the blender. It took 1.5 gallons of Everclear to process it all and Yup, I got a very green, alfalfa flavored return. First, I split the liquid into 2 equal batches and cooked the first down and infused a processed coconut oil. One drop is good for 12 solid hours!
Actually, a funny thing happened during the cooking. Before mixing in the coconut oil, I stuck my finger on the spoon to "feel" the match-head sized spot of resin and of course, not thinking, stuck it in my mouth to taste it. A very bad idea I found out later. That was around 9p Friday evening. I smoked a bit of bud and went to bed later on til about 5ish when I woke up for the early "call". I tried to walk down the hall and found I was wobbling all the way to the can! I figured, "Damn I must have been sleeping good! I can't even walk!" So I did my thing and went back to bed. At 730 ish I woke up for the morning and found myself bouncing off the walls down the hall to the living room. I couldn't even freaking stand up! I lasted an hour with severe "bed spins" until I had to hurl, which has only happened one other time with some really good purple sensi. Afterward, everything chilled out, but the effects lasted into SUNDAY! At that point, I finally realized what had happened and giggled at myself for being a dumbass. The potency of the unmixed resin was astounding!
Anyway, the second batch is now a tarball in the freezer. I use a toothpick and take a half-skittle sized bead and scrape it off into a pipe. Just a quick bump of the lighter produces huge clouds of smoke. Two hits and night-night. That one bead can last 3-4 days before I have to reload it!
The rest of the bud will probably end up with the tarball. The buds are too various in potency with no consistency due to the double-stretch-and-bloom during flowering and the required early chop (at least a month I think) I had to perform.
Maybe I'll make some wax or something...
Later!
