An American Dream - White Picket Fences and Marijuana in the So Cal Sun

Set up the still and got things under way

Made this giant nylon worm from the 2 half gallon jars of alcohol soaked scrapes left after making all that tincture and with about 2 gallons of the hottest water I could stick my hands in I squeezed and squeezed until I was tired.

After squeezing the worm, (damn that just sounds wrong)

Baby Pot Still and wind house. With all that extra water to deal with I left the heat on and the lid off and the high speed fan blasting for most of the afternoon and got it down to a little under 2 inches.

Solar light attempt to reveg. Most of my dig ups have faded like they usually do. We'll see if I can do it in place

Another. Got new batteries for them

Seedling row. I've almost tossed it all back in the soil pile 3 times but every time I get down to collect them up I'll find another sprout.

Moved the Still pot inside and left the fan blowing.

Thanks Deez. Ya I've got a good idea of what I'm doing with it now but this giant worm was a new try and I'm not quite sure just how it's gonna pan out and if I like it or not.
Made a mess in the still kettle with gooey tar all over the insides so I'll have to expend some high proof alcohol to clean that down to transfer it out.
Worried all that water washing brought a shit load of plant waxes and crap along with more potency but only long tern testing will really tell me that.
I'll keep track of this round and test for potency as best I can. Maybe get the wife to test as TTS never came back from the east coast and I don't have any handy suckers to use as testers.
Wife will beat me if she gets really fucked up though. OUCH dammit.

Fished out the congealed globs of goo and poured off the rest of the fluid into the 8x8 pan and left the fan on it.

It's a lot more mass then the usual 4 tablespoons of tar I usually get from 4 bottles of tincture.

Decarbed the usual 30 grams in twin sets of 15 each

3 tablespoons of oil and 1 of lecithin per

Starting to accumulate a respectable number of caps now and I have enough ready kief to run another set of 200 caps like this.

Added 4 tablespoons of Coconut oil to the well evaporated tar left after the fan ran all night. Transferred it from pan to the medium working dish.
Decarbed another 30 grams of hash and got two more triple sets under way.

Bubbling goo nearly escaped the dish

Yet another breaks ground

Todays Anaheim Hills Fire was dead up wind and I was choking on ash all day at the grow. Looked like it was snowing at times it was so bad and found plenty more ash when I got back to the boat.

Didn't think about the slightly open hatch and yes we had ash inside to clean up. Whole harbor smells like a beach fire pit the morning after.

Not happy with this batch of tincture extraction at all. The big worm of wet weed contaminated the batch and I'm not sure any of it is useable. Make good roadway asphalt patch.
.
Did up another 400 super strength Hash Caps and topped off the first oil jar with full caps and started another. This finished up the 9 jars (250 grams) of hash I had on hand so more hash is next.

This worm Doc.
Was an attempt to get that last 750 ml of alcohol back but it was a huge fail as all it brought in was a shitload of tar
Gonna toss this whole round of RSO and go back to what I know works.
The stuff on the paper is smokable I suppose as it's just alcohol and water extraction. Stuff in the dish had coconut oil added and should be eaten but it's also mostly heavy tar and burnt debris. Nothing much like my usual RSO. This is far more burned varnish smelling. Smells like the boiled linseed oil my long ago boss used to coat his wooden ladders with every year.

Since I fatigued and snapped the Hashmaster adaptor I had to get off the dime and repair the old one.

Didn't finish in time to run it so tomorrow early I'll get over to the ice house.

Putting the 21 year old California cannabis baby back is like stuffing a 21 yr old human back where it came from. NOT gonna happen.
Handcuff sessions to me and take me off my Cannabis meds and see how long we both live.
