First grow using Worm Poo as medium

Wow, that’s a lot of info first thing in the morning. I have half read. I need more coffee to finish. But I do need to get some recharge.
BTW, I really really hated chemistry in college but I loved microbiology go figure

I think @Budbrother is already there.

Skydiver · March 8, 2020, 3:49pm

Lol yea I started reading it last night and finished up this morning and I too sucked at chemistry in college…
Smoked too much…
Yea Bud is ahead of the curve but look out when we reach the straightaway… pedal to the metal. Haha

I got myself one a couple weeks ago and when I want edible now I just pop a little decarbed bud in my mouth and an hour later it’s happy time for Kat. Good little machine IMO.

Yep this way no processing other than heating and you get the most out of what she can offer!
More things are processes the more they lose their original offering.

Holy ###% I will be getting lost in this info. Once again thanks @skydiver.

So I received my new Infuzium 420 today.

The original Ardent fits nicely inside the Infuzium.

I tried to fit 4 cups butter (8 sticks) but as it wasn’t melted yet I wasn’t able to fit all in along with the 112 grams (4 Oz) of trim.

This thing needs a melt butter setting but I just ran a partial cycle of 30min and stopped the cycle and added the last 1/2 stick and the 4 Oz trim and turned it back on for the butter cycle. I checked it (interrupted cycle) again 30 min into cycle just to make sure all the trim had made its way down into the butter and it did. Started another butter cycle and reduced the total time from 2 hours preset for butter to 1:30 min as it had already ran 30 min.
It’s doing its thing. Noisier than the Ardent as it has the mixing blade and it runs and then stops periodically stirring the mix up as it infuses.
Haven’t finished the cycle but am looking forward to making 4x the amount than the Ardent does.
The max is states is up to 5 cups butter and 5 Oz of herb.
The recipe called for using sunflower Lecthin but I did not as from what I’ve read lecithin isn’t really necessary as butter already has fats that the THC or CBD binds to.
Once the runs finished I’ll post a couple more pics on straining the stuff

This is what it looks like after coming out

Completely different look than the Ardent

Skydiver · March 11, 2020, 1:40am

Well the new Infuzium 420 is 4x and fast as the Ardent is because it can make 4x the amount.
The end game still sucks just as much as the ardent there has to be a better way to strain out the canna budder without being such a freakin mess. Didn’t use the space glove and I’m sure I’m gonna be fked up soon as it was delicious licking my fingers and hands.
Sorry no pics yet cause my hands were coated in budder. Used the 73 micron bag and it ends up coated in budder…such a waste…there’s gotta be a better gadget or process as did I already mention this process straining sucks

What I miss? What happened?

AAA · March 11, 2020, 3:13am

Haha!!! Love it.

AAA · March 11, 2020, 3:18am

Well. Between a few of us we should be able to come up with something.

Vertical wall basket(round) made of stainless mesh with a plunger?

Skydiver · March 11, 2020, 3:37am

I have to believe the market is seriously in need of a budder mouse trap…the current options are messy and inefficient to say the least.
Yea a cylinder type press…like the old wooden grape press with the wheel at top on a screw connected to a plate with strainer kind of thing

Skydiver · March 11, 2020, 3:50am

Now that’s gonna be an awesome name for the device…
The Budder Mouse Trap…lol

LoCoRock · March 11, 2020, 12:22pm

LMAO…ya there won’t be any loss with that device!!! Crazy how tough appliances and gadgets use to be made. That thing is gonna last another 100 years.

Gremmall · March 11, 2020, 12:53pm

That’s a pretty cool gadget. It even sliced the fresh budder up fir you lol…hilarious

Skydiver · March 11, 2020, 1:13pm

Ronco would be proud …slices and dices!

I know they suggest recharge. I am using magic roots rhizo mix.

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Planet-Nutrients-Mycorrhizae-Trichoderma/dp/B07SL7YGVR

It includes almost all to goodies that were discussed in the article.

Skydiver · March 11, 2020, 2:09pm

Looks like a well rounded mix they have.

Here is another natural way to provide critters to the soil matrix you can make on the cheap at home…
LAB is what I’ve made and this article covers many other things too

Directions on making it here

There is also a lot of great posts / videos in the soil build category here under KNF

shindig153 · March 11, 2020, 2:43pm

Thanks for the information. Seems simple to make the lab. I’m all about on the cheap. I do have some bukashi and used it to start my grow. I committed to use root magic shortly after.

Here’s an article/sales pitch about KNF.

A lot of good reading/products at red bud soil company. It’s where I started the living soil journey.

LoCoRock · March 11, 2020, 5:08pm

I just started using recharge last week and I’d say the girls LOVE it. I’m really impressed with the plants reaction. It says it helps with nutrient uptake regardless of pH levels.
