All natural from my kitchen ingredients. Various combinations of some of the following Olive oil, Lard , tallow , coconut oil avocado oil grape-seed oil sweet almond oil the list goes on the herbs and essential oils depending on what you want from the soap
You need lye for the chemical reaction to occur if you do it right the lye is gone and all that’s left is soap after cure time of 4-6 weeks.

Well thanks friend and yes they smell as good as they look or I hope they do as I created the individual scents from essential oils and herbal infusions, coffee, cocoa butters and powders. I do have unscented for the sensitive, even some vegan but there is nothing like the rich creamy lather you get from tallow or lard.

It’s good to be back growing again.
Hubby needed a reminder that it’s not cheaper to buy it now, than to grow it yourself and the quality and strains are anybody’s guess! He was grumbling about the cost of the replacement light previous one lasted 3-4 years full time on. feed and dirt which I recycle into outdoor gardening by expanding the vegetable gardens.
He has been sufficiently tuned in again a seen the error of his ways lol! So I’m back!

Well unfortunately I have suffered a little set back. One of my Spider Farmer 7000 quantum LEDs died and I’m 5 weeks in since flip. I have been running 2 in my 4x8 tent one per plant. I’m picking up a new light


tomorrow but I lost 3 days of full light. At least it’s keeping the same schedule I am just hope my other one doesn’t fail too! I bought them at the same time. I can’t afford that to happen so fingers crossed.
