I learned how to do this yesterday (thanks forums!), and I LOVE IT!!!

It's the easiest, quickest, least smelly way to make an edible, short of making a tincture.

Milk
FINE, DRY trim/bud. If it is just some brickweed, put it in the toaster oven on LOW for ~20 min, let it coo, then grind the shit outta it.
Stove
ice cream, oil, icecube (optional)

Here is what I used to make it with. It is the collector tub from when I trim. I 'bounced' all of the larger stuff to the top by tapping a tune, then moved the big stuff to the side, exposing the lil stuff (what I want)

Pour the milk (~20 oz) into the pot, and turn on low. If the milk gets to hot to 'touch' it is too hot. I just want it ~120-150 deg. Hotter, and the milk will boil/burn (NASTY). I add a 2 finger pinch from that pic above to the milk and...

 

[barletta]

I am left with this:

I grabbed all the finest stuff, and threw it in the pot. Keep on low/warm for ~15 min, then add a lil ice cream (and a drop of olive oil), and keep on the heat and stirring for 15 more min. Let cool, and enjoy! It seems to hit faster than brownies/cookies.

Gonna be making a bunch of mean green milk for the next wk. I doubt that it will keep, I drink what I make right away.

 

[Eddiesaw]

looks like ima have to take trip up there bartletta.; you're always making something and always smoking my dream buds. next time you roll up superspice take a blast for me.

 

[JessE]

Dude, Jorge Cervantes would have a stroke if he walked into your growing environment. Here, take this feather duster

 

[Eddiesaw]

lmao. barletta, jesse thinks you're a dirty boy. haha

 

[barletta]

You guys have no idea what I had to do to clean out the 'grow environment'. It was used as storage - Lots of books, papers, boxes, sheetrock/pressboard. Stuff that absorbs water pretty good. Well the previous residents of the house probably 'gave up' on that space ~'97. Since then, it flooded at least once a year, and they proceded to pile more shit in there. It took me ~2kws of NOT SMOKING and working to clean that MO-Fo out. I was SO PROUD when it was just walls/concrete/pinesol/bleach. The mold was CRAZY.

Fukk Jorge. Doesn't he have a product to slap his name on somewhere? He would hate me. I make my own seeds, and use kelp meal @ $8/box

I saw a spider in the room today that I sent some positive vibes to...

 

[Eddiesaw]

That sounds like it was a chore. all well worth keeping those baby's healty.
ugh spiders. why do they have to creep me out, if it werent for them we'd be run off this earth by damned incets. i dont want a plauge of locusts running this place. i remember when those damned cicadas(spl) came around that shit freaked me out at first. until i started carrying around a wiffle ball bat for 'practice' haha aw childhood was amazing

 

[Greenmoon]

yo again barletta


lol, man always great!!! db

jessE that was pricless


dude you could write a book 10 times better!!!!!!! than Jorge i reckon...and about 20 times as funny!,yar a riot mate

ps yep....definantly got a few shitlets 2(and this 1 fatty lol)...

 

[barletta]

I got 10 superlolo's in dirt and 6 indikilla's. Now we wait.

Still no sex on the MWD's. I got a feeling that they are gong to be a sativa ride. MMG comes down today, and I get the treat of trimming indoor iffy, Spice and Shit. And the bagseed which will be QUICK, as they are ~7-10g plants. Oh boy.

This indy superSpice STINKS dry. I mean STINKS! in a good way. Nice high too. Strong, and eyelid lowering, but not 'couchlock'. The smell is the tell. <--- as true today with my A++ KB's as when I was buying brick. The weed that smell the best/strongest (IMO) smokes the best/strongest. It is rare to smoke some killer smelling bud (for me), and not appreciate it, as it is to smoke some hay and get lifted...

The smell is the tell.

This spring I'm going to start taking the pix for a book. Who knows if it will get done, but I LOVE the guerrilla thing SO MUCH, I would love to 'show' what I do. LOL, my first summer (07) I saw ~10 lbs, so I was very comfortable setting a goal like that for myself. Any active, 1/2way fit person can grow/process 10 lbs by themselves outside if that is the goal. I'd LOVE to spread that confidence/knowledge in a book with glossy pix...

It will get done eventually, but will it get printed...

Really, indoors is cool, and the buds are good, but Outside is where it's at. Sore from outdoor work and sore from indoor work are 2 completely different things. In a short grow season (like mine) I love the indoor thing, but if I could have plants going 8+mo outside, I'd have NO PROBLEM staying outside.

If I do the book, you guys can all be in it. You can be the dudes with the black circles covering their faces, digging my trenches... I'll be in the shade with the ssh and iced coffee...

 

[barletta]

Well, It's 4:20, and I'm thinkin - I haven't had any Orange D in a few days...

Smoked 2 hits in a bowl. YUM. Orange cremesicle. Very strong. VERY similar to the indy SuperSpice in the high dept. Rolling a dutch now...
Fukk trimming...

This is brutal. I had my pix re-sized and everything, and I started uploading them when I started rolling. Now I'm lighting up (15 min later), and still not done with my 4 pix...

Like I said, VERY similar to the indy Superspice. Different smell/taste. Not nec better, I bet with 4 wks cure, the superspices dump all over this bud (which is 90/100 bud to smoke...). I let the cut go due to nanners ~9wks, and she needed 10 to finish, so I risked my other plants when I ran her. I don't need any 'difficult plants' in my garden. I let 2 VERY good plants go due to nanners. Orange Diesel, and Cannaloupe. I go2 2 very healthy/mature seeds from those lil buds, and I'm keeping them outta my seedstock (but keeping them). The orange flavor is very unique, I have seeds from a different O.D. mom ( x ssh, x MissMud) and these mystery seeds, so if we ever get 'clamped down' on in the states, I'll have some -Orange-

Bud is strong smooth and mellow. No coughing fests, but it's spicy enough that an exhale thru the nose makes me sneeze. Clear head, but NICE body high. Warm, active indy dom high. BUT she took 10 wks, threw nanners, and was a med-poor yielder. The other plant WAS a yielder, but I didn't keep a clone. Oh look the pix are up...

@4:52....

 

[Greenmoon]

chop chop,,dig dig.... mate count me in there as well!

I hate to just post randomly (yeah, ok), but I gotta tell y'all bout the power of the Shit.

I'm smokin the Shit that went too long out side, and I'm TWISTED from some choking, nose burning literal fire. Lemmie back up. The other day I started smoking the Indy dom SuperSpice, and was very impressed with the strength. Then I smoked the Orange Diesel, and figgured that the 2 buds were very similar in high/strength. Prolly the strongest indoor indica leaners that I have. So last night I decided to roll up some RAW shit. RAW. I ferget most of last night, and I didn't have no cannamilk/cookies/brownies, nothin. I smoked ~1.5g over ~6hrs. That's not much for me really at all. It was enough.

LOL, the power of the Shit. Shit is the BEST strain that nobody talks about. (that I've run)

I'm watching "The Battle of Shaker Heights" - so far it's a great movie (could be the Shit talkin). I'm waiting for "Waiting for Guffman" GREAT movie. In the states, it's on International Film Channel @1045AM Hawaii time. (possibly not on IN hawaii)



I love the warm rain and a big bag o indica on a Saturday... Windows open, not payin fer heat! I went to the flea market to get a lil head piece hammer, but the guy I got my grinder from was not there due to the rain. Only 2 or 3 places with pipes, and there were some spoons that looked like they were done by the guy that did mine. I'm actually pretty sure. I was just 'cruising' them in the case, looking for a DEEP lil hammer or a simple big steamroller (2' x ~2" pyrex tube w/bowl 'sunk' in.) I saw the hammers at the place I got my grinders for 2 wks. They were thick, and HEAVY fumed. Very well made pieces. Well they didn't show. I don't blame them, as only ~10% of the normal ZOO showed. I DID walk past the comic book STEREOTYPE stand. 2 dudes in their mid twenties, long greasy hair under some sort of hats. EVERY comic book in it's own sleeve. They had this conversation NO JOKE to the effect of (I was just walking by, so as not to alarm them. They are a jittery breed, and I wanted to observe them in their pure, natural environment - @ a comicbook stand at a fleamarket in the boonies) "Superman's mind has been melted but he KEEPS coming back. If (unknown evil villian who's name I didn't catch) wanted to kill him, why didn't she..." I was smiling HUGE on the inside. If I were the invisible man, that is one place I'd get LOADED and go. Geek night with Dominoes stuffed crust chem pie and the lord of the rings DVD collector series...

LOL

Got a few pix of the MMG's seedlets. I put some random seeds (something x dude) out just for comparison.

And here is the most efficient 100 you can spend outside of payin the electric bill. I challenge anyone to grow more weed for less money (inside, and with equal effort and quality) than you can w/this $100.09. Do you know what a 100 gets you at the hydro store? LOL

LOVE that fukkin Agway. AND dood gave me a big dog cookie fer nothin.
Schoolbus sized perlite, 3.8cuft pro-mix, 18lb cottonseed meal (long term N source); 25lb BioTone (organic 4-3-3 w/mykros, cal & Mg); 35lb rock phosphate; 40lb jersey greensand.

Thanks for the thread so far Barletta. I've got some LaNina so some feedback is great and interesting as this is my main hobby.

Yeh, smell is a bit of a guarranttee of strength. Lost my first post but I'll go again. Just a bit of 'fad' for newies, you're no newbie, for stinky pot but I find it a hassle to grow and 'friends' (40yrolds) dislike it being noticed in the car or on person. I say it is a 'fad' because now seed descriptions seldom say 'low odor', even if they are, all the emphasis is on strong smell. True it is a guarrantee of strength but I hope it doesn't make getting strong, large yield, low odor seeds difficult to find because it's probably a bit harder to breed low odor & potent.

I agree that strong stench has best chance of unique taste but surprisingly sometimes strong taste is a bit of a turnoff after a while - maybe I'm bit of an oldie - but i guess 'soft' smoke is most important to my group. Mind you even though I think it's a bit of a fad you could argue it's good that pot is made more risky and challenging.... anyway I reckon odor is a hassle

Anyway, 20 yrs ago an associate grew SSSC skunk/afghani seeds for over 5 years that I got in mail - it was a great body stone / mind high smoke - probably bit stoney for northern hemisphere tastes these days, but a great fulltime smoke. The plants had broad leaves and grew big fists of high calyx buds that untopped yielded 5-8oz in 8 weeks fully matured. I'd guess today's equivalent would be more sativa in bud structure

 

[barletta]

johnstreet <----Cool name! Thanks fer stoppin in.

I'm deffo still a newb. I just did a lot in the lil time I'm growing. The strength of the smell is a good indicator of the potency, but the flavor of the smell I've found to be a 'tell' of the high, too. If I crack a bud and the initial scent leads to a long sloooowww ssnniiiiiffffff and a pause and a smile, I'm sniffin (most likely) a sativa dom. If the first smells leads to a quick whiff-whiff and a "WTF?!?!" face, Ima need a pbj sammich soon...

I am LMAO @ "The Office". FUKKIN FUNNY.

Anyway, I grow some smelly weedplants, lol, but I have checked my carbon filter ~100 times since March, and nothing. I've been keeping my buds in jars since my little hippie sister showed me, and if that baby is sealed I'm good to go. LOL, it's funny you mention a sk/afghan. I was sitting with a ziplock (double zipper freezerbag, hit the outside with an alcohol wipe) of that Aurora B (NL x Sk) for ~ a week in a spare bathroom. It's a good thing that it smelled like some sort of glade plugin/incense stick, cause it was unrestrainable. ONA Gel is quality stuff that every grower should have on hand. I don't think that a carbon filter that is large enough to pull the air to exhaust a room can be overcome by smell (not trying to vent a 4lb room thru a 20 lb filter). Growers who claim that plants overpower the filter are either expecting the filter to vent too large of a space, or they have a leak.

Hey, ideally I'd just grow this SSH#1 cut and I could just leave the window open. It only smells like weed when it's drying. ALL of the SSH cures to a very smooth smoke. I'm just kinda pumped to get this skunky funky cause I hadn't had any for a long time. LOL, as soon as I can start smoking this ssh, you won't be hearin bout no indica's stinkin up my room. I trimmed the ssh1 and the tall mmg 2day. They hit the jars in ~ a week. I didn't realize it, but I only have a TINY bit of that kalichakra, so I'll smoke it first thing in the AM to give a smoke report.

I transplanted the remaining MWD's into 3.4l's, and I put the 'mergencies into 2l's. The ssh1 is lookin ready for some pollen, so I'll be choppin my ssh male after I get them together 2moro or so. Jumble Sk is movin along, I'll prolly be pollinating ~next wk. The Shit is FAST. The superlolo's are startin to poke out too.

Hey, Jstreet, when I post, I copy and paste into notepad. I don't save em or anything, but if I get bumped, I can log in, and just paste it back.

Like my piratepilot bother, watchin the series. If Maddux is the professor, J.Moyer is the shop teacher. Grimey.

Found some links for y'as.

Here is a NICE lil write up on rock phosphate,jersey greensand, and kelp.
http://www.bio-ag.com/products/soilamendments/index.html

Espoma - I get just about all of the food/lime from them. The kelp is WAY overprices, but the planttone/biotone are steals. Link is to the AP food I get for 17 bux (25lb).

Nice info on cottonseed meal that I just found 2nite. This is my first go-round with it.
http://www.organicrosecare.org/articles/nutrients_cottonseed.php

I also like crabshell, so I'ma stop by the fish market 2moro to see if they have any. I am out of kelp AND castings, so I will have to place an order SOON. I order kelp (cause it's CHEAP), crab (if I can't get it cheaper locally), castings, and guano online. I'll also be getting some Rare Earth and Diamond Black. I'm not one for snake oils (from 'fert co's', anyway..) but those 2 really help plant growth. I will be picking up some other 'hydro shop' stuff (coco, gallon of nutes, clone gel, plant success...)too.

$250 ships free in the lower 48. I've NEVER had an issue with an order either missing something or being late. I DID get a cracked pot (out of 50), but I just put some tape on it... You kinda have to search around to get the castings to ship for free, but trust me, they are on there...

[Greenmoon]

Heya b!

lol Jeez check out those shitlets (just like a few of my cannad buds!)bluddy dna


Just my 2 cents on the smell factor i reckon the white russians werent that smelly but was pretty killer smoke.some VERY smooth smoke 2 after about 2months cure was at its best then i beleive
generally though its gotta have some good kick to it when you take a slow(or fast) wiff in the bag or its most likely just girly weed at the end of the day.

 

[barletta]

Thread kinda SLOWED.... after the chop, lol.

I went fishin 2day with my lil soldier. River was as high as I've seen it, but I'm only here 1 season.

I haven't been fishing in WAY too long, and it really showed. I figgured I'd just throw a rooster tail out there, maybe some powerbait, and I'd pull a few out in an hour or so. LOL. These ain't the stockers I grew up with. These fish's ancestors (the browns, anyway) came over from holland and england in wooden boats. The brookies are natural, but they are even more skittish. This river is private and not stocked for ~10 mi upstream, and ~2mi downstream. There may be some stocked lakes that drain into it, but those fish would be the 'survivors' anyway. Well, no hits, rises, follows, NOTHING. I used to be a trout champ, catching fish when NOBODY was getting them. As it is, I would have to be out there a LOT to hang with these fish. When I was a kid, I used to hike and fish this and similar rivers with wild trout populations. I didn't kill em like the stockers, but I rarely got skunked.

Well, homeboy was PERFECT when I was fishing the pools, so I decided to let him do a lil swimming. This dog is a STUD. What current. I was scared for him the first time I brough him here with low water. He LOVES it, and he's like a lil doggie kayak out there. In TOTAL control.

[barletta]

I don't have many plants left with less than ~4wks to go, but I do have......

WACKROS!!!

LOL, here are some shots of indoor and outdoor Spice (same cut), and Shit (I THINK same cut). The ID Shit went ~55, the Spice ~65, and the OD are the plants that went way too long... I SWEAR this spice takes longer everytime I run her. This bud has NO dark trichs, and MAYBE 10% amber. It was done (10-25% amber) ~50days when I started with her in the spring. The reveg is on, wonder if that will speed her up/down...

Spice. Outdoor on right.
