How much water and how often should these seedlings get? And, is it an accurate assumption I should PH the RO at this stage?

It’s the same as distilled water, it takes on the PH of what you’re putting it into.
Depends on how long it takes for them to dry out. Enough to get it wet, but not run off yet.

Just water around them when dry. About a 2 1/2 to 3 inch circle around them and the roots will come to the water.

Thanks for asking. I am still a bit anxious during this stage to as well. I always sided on watering too much, so still learning to tone that down. The advice given above seems just right. Food growing bud!

Thanks! I love this journey. I’ve started it numerous times with more failure than success and my memory fails me often. Maybe it’s the weed

Wife and I got stoned real good last night. No better stoner food than this. So creamy, slightly spicy, sticks to your ribs really nice. Along with some buttery crunchy French sourdough bread.

Folks, I’m going to try out our new Magical Butter Machine this week. This is the bud I will use: This weighs in at 17 grams. The plant was harvested last October and was a runt thru the grow but did produce some dense flowers with lots of trichs. Its a Royal Queen Sweet Skunk auto; not a strong smoke but its nice. How much flower can I use to make a potent gummy? This cultivar advertised 15% THC. @Storm @Covertgrower @Caligurl @Growdoc
Edit: I’m going to make the FECO with Everclear since I had it on hand.

Take your grams, convert to milligrams 17,000 in your case . X 15% for total milligrams of THC, divided by how many gummies you make.
17,000 x 15% =2,550 If you make 100 gummies, 25.5 milligrams each.

You’re going to use alcohol in the MBM? I’ve heard they won’t warranty it if you do because if can mess it up… just what I heard but you might wanna check

I think that’s correct, one reason I bought the Infusium 420, it makes oil and tinctures as well as infusions.

I will check that out. That said, the MBM YT channel has this video using ethanol to make a tincture.

It appears the MBM will work with alcohol. I watched the video to see how it works. They chose the 130 F setting which is the lowest on the MBM, grain alcohol evaps at about 100 F, that is what the SourceTurbo heats alcohol to. His end product was pretty green, could be the weed and alcohol under heat for 4 hours makes it hard to get a golden color. After the extraction you still have to do a reduction to make the tincture stronger, with no ability to reclaim the alcohol using that machine. Finding grain alcohol is a pain in some states, so reclaiming the alcohol was something I looked for.

I don’t have a full two cups of 190 proof. I gotta see if I can find it locally. I don’t use it for any reason and can’t remember why I bought it years ago in the first place. So I am on the hunt. Today is a federal holiday so it will be tomorrow. Thanks for the reply @patrick1960

Don’t forget that the weed needs to be decarbed first, you will lose about 12% potency. Works out to about 22mg per gummy.
I just made some last night with MCT oil, ended up eating a quarter of them (180mg), still didn’t get much of a buzz. Same when I infused my Everclear, ended up with more of a booze buzz than a weed buzz (just mixed it with OJ and drank). It worked out to 30mg per teaspoon.
Have fun @T-ray !

Thanks @Spudgunner. The reason I want to go the route of alcohol is the ability to store it on the shelf as opposed to coconut, butter, EVOO, etc.

Yeah, I have 6-1/2 sticks of cannabutter wrapped in foil in the freezer, 1/2 cup sticks, perfect size for brownies!
