It’s important to remember that distillation removes terps and other beneficial cannabinoids. In the commercial cannabis industry distillation is typically used to salvage thc out of crappy or contaminated starting material. This is how a lot of dispensary edibles are made, and it’s why they usualy dont hit as hard or last as long as the homemade edibles made with whole plant extraction.

I like to collect pollen and save it for later. Air dry a little pollen on a glass plate for a few days then store in an airtight container with a desiccant pack. Keep it cool + dry and it will last a year or more in storage. Then you can pull it out and use a paint brush to selectively pollinate a bud or two whenever you want. 🙂👍

I can totally relate! I’m also on disability and have been trying to figure things out for 15+ years now. I’ve tried out a lot of different niches in the cannabis industry over the years including selling seeds. The cannabis world is full of opportunities, but it also comes with a lot of risk. You should totally follow your passion and see where it can take you. Making seeds and breeding is a ton of fun! BUT… you should go into it with the understanding that if you are working for yourself and doing it at home, you will be operating in a legal grey area at best. Its very hard to pheno hunt, test, and do other breeding activities in a home grow while fully following all the rules. I think most home breeders get comfortable bending the rules a bit and accept the risks that come with it. Having medical paperwork and a doctor willing to back you up can offer a degree of protection and is something I would recommend to anyone wanting to grow more plants.

Learn the local rules, learn the loopholes to the rules, then learn the penalties so you know how far you can push it. 😉 I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice lol!

If you want to start a seed business and be 100% compliant, partnering with a licensed legal farm (in a locale that allows it) is pretty much the only way to do it. You’d have to be an employee of the farm, and your activities would have to stay within the laws and limits that apply for that business.

if you want to do large pheno hunts or seed projects in your home grow, you kinda have to accept that you will likely be violating the rules in some way or another. sometimes there are legal loopholes you can use to give yourself some degree of legal protection, but it’s typically not a sure thing and there’s almost always still some potential risk.

in other words… if you are going to start a cannabis seed business you’ve got to either fully commit to a partnership with a legal farm and follow all the rules, or you’ve got to accept that you are not 100% compliant and will always face some degree of potential legal risk.

-Keep everything super cold! Starting material, tools, work room, drying area… everything! Keep it cold!

-Be gentle! Stir or agitate slowly and carefully while washing. Being too rough will really tank your quality. Focus on quality and let the yield come naturally. You can always wash your material a second time to try to get more out of it. Don’t try to beat more yield out of your material, it will just ruin quality!

-Drying is super important. Get your drying area dialed in and Keep it cold and dry! If you have access to a freeze dryer that’s the easy way. If not, do some research on air drying hash and consider techniques like sieving or microplaning. Water trapped in the hash will cause it to turn dark, loose flavor and oxidize. Get that water out while keeping temps low to preserve color, flavor, and potency.

-Take pics and notes as you go. Have someone there to help ya if possible. Try to be observant and learn from every batch! Hash making is an art, keep working at it and improving your skills. Practice practice practice! 🖖🙂👍

Hi. You got those from me 🙂👍. They are JR’s Cherry Paloma cut crossed to itself. With these Paloma S1’s we are seeing lots of green and purple/pink phenos. The greener plants are probably leaning more towards the Georgia Pie, so probably real earthy and gassy. The pink/purple buds take after the Trop Cherry side of the family and often have a bit more grapefruit and purple flavors added to the gassyness. There’s been some really pretty purple/pink phenos but the green kushy gassy stuff is pretty nice too! Enjoy! and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. ✌️🖖

Congrats on your first harvest! I’d stick with flower, any kind of hash or concentrates is probably going to be a more intense dosage than you are looking for. Well stored flower can last over a year and still be pretty nice to smoke. I suggest getting some integra humidity packs and one of those jar lid vaccum sealer devices off amazon. Vaccuum seal your bud in a jar with a humidity pack and store it in a cool dark place and it will last a long time!

Just jumping in to say… If you are on a budget and just getting setup, I would totally skip anything thats going to cost you $70 a quart! Winterfrost is an interesting product and its worth playing around with at some point, but its totally a luxury type of thing, not something you need when you are first getting started. If you are new to growing or just getting back into it theres probably a ton of other stuff you could invest in that would be more impactful. I would make sure you’ve invested in quality led lights, environmental controls, a quality drying/curing/trimming setup, great genetics etc…. before you start thinking about expensive optional nutrient additives. Focus on the essentials first. Theres plenty of time to play around with fancy optional stuff down the road. 🙂
