Too much weed

[ponzi314]

So i recently harvested my 2 indoor plants. I did a dry trim, i wont be doing that again as it was a pain in the butt. I was doing stem bending test and there was no crunch after 13 days but feeling the nugs themselves they were try as hell. Brittle even so i decided it was time to pull them down.

While trimming i noticed alot of the nugs were very very leafy as if there was actually no nug and just sugar leaves. So my first question, is this normal? Im assuming it was due to them not getting enough light?

What do people do with these types of nugs, they still had alot of trics on them. So i just started throwing them into that garbage bag on the right. Are they worthwhile to make edibles with them?

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes they are edible making buds

Make gummies, salve, tincture, cookies. Do not discard.

I like hash!!!

[ponzi314]

I actually did some research on this and the one place that sells dry ice is closed for the season lol

[hairyman]

Do it with regular ice and use an iron to press the hash. You just need to get some filter bags. It's fun but it takes a few hours.

[ponzi314]

few hours?? oh boy lol Sounds like i need to find some dry ice. Im going to look into delivery. Im assuming you can get it shipped

Learn how to infuse coconut oil with your larfy bits. The possibilities never end but gummies are hard to beat.

So i actually have the Ardent FX, in past i infused with MCT oil and i just didnt like how it made me feel next day. I could barely open my eyes until a couple hours.

Is there an easy gummy recipe you can share?

[UndergroundFarmer]

I adapted the recipe from LEVO's site. For a single batch:
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp sunflower lecithin
1/2 cup infused coconut oil
1 oz plain gelatin (a 4 pack box of Knox)
6 oz flavored gelatin (large box of Jell-O)

In a silicone beaker, add water, lecithin and infused oil and whisk until mixed. Add the plain gelatin one packet at a time while still whisking then slowly add the flavored gelatin until well mixed. Quickly move to fill the silicone candy molds you laid out in advance on a cookie sheet. If you used a silicone kitchen beaker, you can squeeze it to form a pour spout with the bonus of not getting your hand burned. Fill bigger molds first. The smaller ones are easier to fill when the beaker isn't so full. Set the cookie sheet in a cold place for about an hour then remove gummies from the molds.

This recipe makes soft gummies. The original calls for half the water, lecithin and oil and makes hard gummies like the original Haribo bears. It is also super hard to get everything mixed well with that recipe. Sunflower lecithin is available at health food shops as an egg substitute. It is how the oil gets suspended in an aqueous solution without it all separating.

Youre recipe seems very easy. I think im going to try this one. Trying to avoid using pots and this one fits the fill

Can you Trim Bin some of those trichs to make infused olive oil or other edibles?

[ponzi314]

sadly i dont have a trim bin.

[UndergroundFarmer]

They are worth the price just for comfort alone plus they catch all that kief.

[ponzi314]

i think next rum im going to get it because i used a baking sheet and it really was coated in keef, it was painful just throwing away lol

Larfy buds...not a big deal if they get you high, at least to me. Not what you want but not the end of the world either. I smoke mine. Once they are ground up for the bong I've found that I could care les about the appearance, because my homegrown following GWE advice and growers on this site, is as good or better than anything I can buy in the dispo. You're probably correct about the cause...not enough light or not enough of the right kind of light. Save all the flower and trim every harvest...it'll come in handy.

ponzi314 this one works nicely I use refined coconut oil for less coconut taste. Have made gummies, brownies and even coco-krispy treats (awesome btw)

[golfnrl]

And I'm guessing that you've dried and cured them before they went into the garbage bag or is that after? Just curious. I don't have any really big bags but do have a couple of full turkey bags .

[ponzi314]

Awesome! thank you for recipe @Floopydoop

golfnrl i put all the good nugs in grove bags, they are currently curing. The larfy ones are still sitting in garage in garbage bag lol I plan to trim them off the branches into a bowl then go from there just havent had time. since its going to be for edibles im not too concerned about curing. I could be wrong though. I need to order more grove bags because they are jammed in there.

If you want hash the easy way, make bubble hash. It’s super easy and it’ll be the best hash you’ve ever had

[golfnrl]

Magic Mike is right. Bubble hash is easy to make and it's real good!
