In that last pic, is that where they live full time? If so, have you considered some Mylar on the floor? Bounce some of your light back up at them? ---

It was listed as a selling point for one of my tents (even though that is the default for tents, I believe) 😉 ---

Thanks Low 🤙 Unfortunately I pulled off a stem that had three nanners on it from the base of Liz. It wasn’t there when I left. Temp got up to 81 today in the room. AC temperature control is a little off to say the least. Lol And the oil heater isn’t treating me right lol 😂 Need to mark the temp on the dial!! ---

I have heard nothing but good things about the Ardent decarboxylators, and they can do infusions as well, I believe. ---

Awww thank you for the kind words @kaptain3d🥰 I’ve honestly never tried the MBM or the Ardent, but I’m not a gadget girl. I’ve worked as an assistant chef and a jr. chef and all I can say when someone tries to sell me a gadget is “I already have something that does that… it’s called a knife” ROFLMAO!! This girl does everything by hand with the exception of my fairly new Source Turbo which I use to make the concentrates. @Carpenter, if you are looking at the MBM, it sounds like you are wanting an oil based tincture? I would say it depends on how strong you want the tincture… If you don’t need it very strong, oil based would be good, but if you want really strong, I would probably make a concentrate using a QWET, then infuse that into the oil of your choice. I do hear a lot of good things about both though but here’s a journal discussing the two: > [@Ardent NOVA vs MB2](https://ilgmforum.com/t/ardent-nova-vs-mb2/36315): > > i’m just curing my first grow and think edibles are going to be my jam. has anyone used both of these machines or are you familiar with both? looks like the Ardent will also decarb with the addition of a $20 sleeve? other than that, all this is too new to me to compare. thoughts on pros/cons?
