    You are not having a stroke! Just enjoy the ride!

    Enjoy the Buzz!
    Happy for you!
    We are delaying till tomorrow probably... still fence sitting.

    I cooked up a handful of sticky leaves from a minor trimming this morning. I sauteed them in a pan with olive oil very slowly for about 10-15 minutes. It was like kale chips. Then I soaked up the oil with a mushroom. I felt something within 10 minutes and it has steadily increased in intensity over the last 4 hours. To the point where I feel really damn high. Now, I haven't gotten high in long time, this grow is my first go at getting some real medicine but I am really high right now. Man

    Unless I'm having a stroke

    But just think of all the future grows, Cronk: None of us is ever gonna throw these leaves out again!! It's a whole new source of riches!

    I read that afterward, yes. I'll try more for longer next. I'll be running out of leaves soon. Mann they're sticky

    Cronk let us know how it goes! Did you read above that we are using low heat but for slightly longer times? I have been decarbing my leaves in my Nova machine for 30-40 minutes rather than simmering gently for 8-10, and the effects are definitely more intense.

    I think those leaves look great. I would just snip off the dead parts, cuz you don't want to eat that.

    Californiakid I do think that. I think I'll start way lower on my Plenty vaporizer, and raise temp on 2nd and again on 3rd go.

    FYI, I just sauteed some sticky leaves, about a handful, in olive oil and ate them. I think they were on heat for less than 8 minutes. I certainly feel something and it seems to be building in intensity.

    Alright, So the wife and I have planned to enter the experiment today, but I have a concern.
    Please look at the leaf tips pictured and let me know if you think that is evidence of possible Nute burn. I don't think they should be burned, but several leaf tips started to yellow. Plants are healthy, I have tons of fresh growth saved for the experiment, just not sure about the Nutes situation. I mean obviously the plants have not yet been flushed...
    Thoughts?

    I have an old original style Volcano (analog not digital). I start it on a lower temp and raise the temp each time I fill the bag. Do you think I'm getting more of each component as opposed to really heating up fast? Looking at the different boiling points made me wonder. Thanks ATU

    That's nowhere near all of them; there's over 200, I believe.

    While THCA starts to decarboxylate at around 220 degrees, it won’t reach your lungs until it’s vaporized, which won’t occur until it reaches a higher temperature. There’s currently some debate as to what the precise boiling point of THC really is. Some estimate that THC [vaporizes] at about 315 degrees, while others believe that after accounting for typical air pressure, THC’s boiling point may actually be around 445 degrees Fahrenheit. https://www.harvestofaz.com/bring-th...-temperatures/

    And another decent chart:

    Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THC-A) Boiling Point: 220° F Sedative, Helps prevent seizures.

    Cannabidiolic Acid (CBD-A) Boiling Point: 248° F Anti-inflammatory, Anti-tumor.

    Pinene Boiling Point: 311° F Anti-inflammatory, Helps treat asthma.

    Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Boiling Point: 315° F Anti-tumor, helps with nausea, pain and depression.

    Caryophyllene Boiling Point: 349 Helps treat depression and anxiety.

    Myrcene Boiling Point: 334° F Anti-tumor, Anti-inflammatory.

    D-Limonene Boiling Point: 349° F Helps treat depression and anxiety.

    Cannabidiol (CBD) Boiling Point: 356° F Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, helps treat chronic pain and epileptic seizures.

    Cannabinol (CBN) Boiling Point: 365° F Used to help treat insomnia, also has an anticonvulsant effect.

    Linalool Boiling Point: 388° F Helps treat insomnia, anxiety and chronic pain.

    Humulene Boiling Point: 388° F Anti-inflammatory, Anti-tumor and helps suppress appetite.

    Cannabichromene (CBC) Boiling Point: 428° F Anti-inflammatory, Anti-tumor, used to help treat anxiety, stress and pain.
