If I didn't want to get cfl bulbs, and had a dedicated 2x2 tent to keep a kali mist mother, which king of light could I buy that fits? A small T5?
I'm planning to plant 3 seeds in case one of them is a male but if all 3 turns out to be a female there no room for 3 plants in a single 6 gal res so I'd just move the third in its own tent and replant it in soil.
Some like the 2' model of that lamp? link

So I made some cannaoil today. I've never made edibles and have no idea how I will react but I am anxious to try it. Doc says edibles work much better on IBD patients than inhaling smoke or vapor.
The chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe I want to try calls for oil, so I made cannaoil. If recipe had called for butter I'd have made butter.
I had never made cannaoil before, so I google'd the recipe and bought what I needed.
Measured about a cup of oil
Grabbed the popcorn
Threw the popcorn in the oil in a crockpot, cooked it on low for 3-4 hours
Once the color is amber
I filter the oil with two layers of cheese cloth
I'm left with the amber colored cannaoil
I'll let you know how the cookies turn out

Well I ate two and didn't feel a thing, so I probably severely underdosed (I calculated about 0.5g per cookie)

I actually cook my oil @ 350 degrees for about 20-30 mins. It turns much darker than your oil, and packs a whallop.

I was concerned about burning it. I'll try again another time.

I have a similar story.
First time I went to make it, I had it on med/med-high and I saw that the oil was starting to smoke! I thought I had burned all the THC out of the oil, so I made a batch of brownies and me and my gf split the entire batch.
I woke up 14 hours later, still in my clothing, laying on the bed, on top of the covers, with my hat on, in the same position I was in when I fell asleep.
I learned that it takes a LOT of heat to burn the THC out of cooking oil!

My colitis is flaring up very badly these days so it might just be a fluke accident. Plus I don't tolerate oil as well as butter, so I think I'll just do my usual killer brownie recipe and substitute the butter with cannabutter.
Plus the actual taste of the cookies was only so-so.
4 hours on low in a crockpot might have been too little.

You may want to try glycerine tinctures for your pain,(I use food grade vegetable glycerine) I have been experimenting with them recently, there is not much infos on them. You can make the pain killer in about 45-60 days which is not meant to get you high or you can heat it up in a crockpot for 8 hours (not sure on the settings I have only done this one in a double boiler) and it's more of a knock you on yo butt high.
It's hard for me to see what it really does because I smoke so much pot, and I enjoy smoking it ... I am not a big fan of edibles in general. I have used the tinctures when I am working somewhere that I can't smoke when I need a thc fix and it so does the trick.
I have a few people that have tried my tinctures so far, with random pain or reason ...
One guy said that the cold press stuff (45-60 days process) was helping him sleep but he felt groggy in the morning (someone that rarely smokes)
A woman with fibromyalgia (spelling??) said that both the heated stuff and the cold stuff were easing her pain, but she didnt feel the high when using the cold stuff, however she smokes pot daily and the cold stuff that she first tried was made with trim so I am looking forward to see what she has to say about the new stuff made with buds.
Another close friend said that it takes the edge off at night and help her sleeps, she hasnt slept so well in years and when she sleeps well she has less pain the next day (I think she arthritis...)
Anyway I dont sell any, I just made it for myself and wanted to see if it could really help people with chronic pain. I dont feel like it does anything for my tendinitis problems, but it's definitely has some good medicinal properties so you might want to look into it.

The last couple batches, I was using 1 oz of buds that I grounded and dumped into a 500ml mason glass jar, so that would be around 300-400 ml of glycerine I am guessing. I buy the glycerine at a local health food store. Next time I will just put as much pot in the jar as I can because I want it to be potent enough to use droppers instead of half teaspoons for measurements.

Endur0xx, I'll try a tincture down the line, thank you for that.
As an aside, I have a question concerning my grow.
Since I've invested a ridiculous amount of money in getting a fully automated system, I started reading up on nutes and figured it might be smart to drop another 200$ and get better nutes.
I've been reading journals for the past few days and some people claim 30-40% boost in yield using boosters... I'm sure there is an exaggeration but even 10-15% is good.

I use Advanced Nutrients lineup, and it's phenomenal. Expensive, but it's easy to use and yields great results.
