Thank you Don and NL3004! I put this together for you folks tonight, it chronicals my etrernal struggle against the hippie menace. I couldn't get very many posters in even with a 10 minute song. NL the posters are in my Grow Lab thread if there are any that you want to download, they start on page

I've got 50 pages of Holy Carvings (picture hieroglyphs) hidden away at Jon Stewarts forum, I'm going to make those into posters some day. In the spring I became obsessed with non verbal communication and spent 6 weeks in seclusion on Jon's Funny Stuff forum because I figured that no one but no one would go there looking for something funny except by accident.

Baaa zing! Don't forget to tip your waitresses folks, I'll be here until I get my threads deleted. Now for my stinging mamba song.

This is a beautiful song, to listen to it uninterupted click on the Only In Dreams video link at the bottom of this post and my Vimeo page will come up. Start the video then pause it and surf the web for 5 minutes while the video loads. I believe that the video can be downloaded from Vimeo as well if you'd like the Adajio For Strings on your computer or want a full page video to read the posters. One of the most beautiful songs ever written, this version is from Gershwin's album so it's sans that god awful helicopter chopping and Charlie Sheen's monologue. Just peace.

Very intentional, it's my mind emptying itself.

I've got a new version that I'm putting out tonight Poplars, 3 new posters and 55 new pictures. I'm going to have trouble squeezing the pictures in, many will be short duration - I've got series such as Crop Circle Of Bud corn growing from seed to be stem trained, I'll rattle through 12 pictures in 30 seconds, I still don't think that I'll be able to get all of the pictures in and still have the feel that I want ... its fun.

The new version will have much more of a story feel, a journey. I'm going to make someone cry, please post when you do.

Weed Science

Much in life doesn't make sense to me, like a dance who's steps I can memorize but the purpose seems to be to dance as fast as one can. My mind freezes on the WHY people work the way they do and I don't achieve the results that I intend. Marijuana gardening has been the first thing in my life that has been entirely under my control, including my mind. The simple logic of physics and biology are sometimes head bangingly frustrating, but they are always simple and logical, and once deciphered pedestrian.

Not only the produce, but the procedure of my garden has given me control of my mind and a slowly increasing influence of the world around me - yet I'm completely bewildered at the simplest motivation of another human being. The moderators on RUI have never been anything but the most kind to me, civil and helpful in every way - denying no reasonable request while asking nothing in return. If there is a hippie on RUI it is me - I want something from you, not the moderators, and I have not been able to find out how to provide you with fair trade without asking directly.

For those who've been following the thread for sometime, (Saladman, Shortbus, J.Cun, Mae, and too many others to mention) you may have noticed that I don't ask for help easily, I'm asking now. Everything in this thread has been given freely with no obligation of remuneration, I am humbly asking for your help:

1. Watch Hobbes 11:9 (Adajio For Strings). If the video evokes an emotional response please post and tell me about it - good or bad. If you're offended by some parts that is important for me to know as well - the video is a work in progress, intended first for you and later for the larger community. I need feedback about what the video says to you. If someone posts a negative comment - PLEASE - do not respond. I am asking for the negative comments. As well, its time for us to fight the good fight - to save every resource for the important battles, not the ones that go away when our monitor is turned off.

2. Tell your friends about the video, email them my video page URL (Only In Dreams - signature section of post) and ask them to drop into the thread. Marijuana grower or tea toddler, we need everyone but the hippie.

3. Copy and paste the message at the bottom of this post to the RIU contact address at the bottom of this post, add a few words of your own if you like. Ask your friends to do the same. We need a forum to expand Crop Circle Of Bud, I'm at the point in technology and technique that I'm comfortable brining in people from outside of our thread - people who haven't had the time to absorb what we are doing and why simple simple changes in environmental variables can make such huge changes in results.

I need to be able to license CCOB technology so The Academy can benefit from the sale of products and marijuana seeds that the tens of thousands of views of our thread can provide. The Academy must at sometime support itself, this is central to the CCOB philosophy. At this point in time my only resource to finance The Academy is you, not from your money (I wouldn't / can't take a dime) but from the sale of seeds and technology that the success of your grows will bring.

I support the formation of a Crop Circle Of Bud sub forum for the purpose of developing techniques and alternative technology for refugees and developing countries. Please contact Hobbes in the Grow Lab thread in the Newbie forum.

Thank you

Hobbes, I made the tincture using the your hot extraction. Its been 1 and 1/2 hours. I dont feel too much effect from it. I looked at the cooked pot after heating and straining with my scope. Is there supposed to be trichomes still on it? I thought the alcohol dissolved it.

Hey HObbes, just read through all 23 pages of this and bravo to your dedicationwith digging up info and posting for all of us to view

I was considering attempting the Cold alcohol method, because i have no means of heating the product safely :/, and was wondering if you have any experience with this method or if anyone else has!

I found that it was worth it to buy a $15 crock pot at Walmart to do the hot extraction. Takes a few hours instead of 2 months.

Been waiting a long time. Plants harvested in July. Have been dried, jarred, and cured. Wonderful smell and taste. Have only smoked one bud since and made up the hot green dragon. I have been waiting due to unemployed and concerned about a drug test for emply.

So I said screw it and tried some of my Green Dragon that had been aging for a while in a cool dark place. Dose equaled nearly three tablespoons. Took two right away. and the other about one and half hours later.
It took about 90minutes to kick it so I dont' the sublingual part had anything to do with buzz. I took it at 1400, the real fun started about 1630. I enjoy this very mellow. Doing a little reading and playing some fine old tunes off the Zune. I think I might try one of the virgin monster buds of the best plant tomorrow. They are sweetly cured. Very outside layer has slight crisp, below that pure virgin stickiness.

Plus I may have had a couple of shots of some sweet Home distillate also aged/cured. Life is sweet!

hell yes bro, this is what happened to my buds after I trimmed them up nicely and jarred.... the outside has a slight crisp but it bends in still such a sweet sweet smell after only 1 month of curing .... and I too can't blaze it because of my lung, can only do edibles, but I know that sweet bud is waiting for me curing in those jars...

I should have proof read my post better. Quite a few typos. I have tried the Green Dragon a couple more times to "verify" my initial impressions.
1. my dose size was closer to 1.5 tablespoons. I was guessing using a dropper. I measured the dose accurately the last time.
2. peak effect came on more than two hours after taking
3. the buzz last a long time, It was going strong for 7 plus hours.
I like this stuff.
Question: If kept in a cool dark place, what's the shelf life of tincture?

hah bro since alcohol is a natural preservative, we're talkin 5+ years if stored right...


correct me if I'm wrong somebody

You're right about the alcohol, but I believe the cannabinoids break down after a certain amount of time. I wouldnt keep tincture over a few months. Just make smaller batches and store in a cool, dark place.

I ended up making some green dragon tincture about 10 days ago, and this stuff is great for pain relief. I take about 2 teaspoons orally with water and feel the effects within 30 minutes and it provides relief for a good 3 hours. I let the mixture steep for awhile on the stove so I have highly concentrated tincture.

 

[poplars]

I highly doubt the cannabinoids would break down if you stored it in a cool dark place... there's absolutely no reason for them to.


cannabinoids either break down by oxidation, or too much heat. unless you can find a 3rd reason I'm going to bet that it could be stored 5+ years without any significant quality loss.


just because you're a heavy tincture consumer doesn't mean it wont last longer than 4 months

 

[purplehazin]

Huh?.............

 

[poplars]

Huh?.............

well why else would anyone do small batches unless they used it a lot?


for me I hardly ever touch it so I'd want a huge batch that would sit for months and months ya know?

 

[purplehazin]

You want a LARGE batch because you almost never use it? That doesn't make any sense

 

[poplars]

nah I mean do a large batch let it sit in th ebottle for months and months ya know?

meh I guess we're not gonna see eye to eye on this one.

 

[tinyTURTLE]

dont use weed. ice extract the hash and use that.

 

[poplars]

I smoke my hash though... I just couldn't use that in tincture man not with a straight face....


I don;t care about the green taste or anything I can water-cure before I do it.. I just don't want to use my hash for anything but smoking.
