Hi Folks. Just wanted to show off a few cool plants I was growing. I was impressed by how stout and bushy they were. A few strains in the pics: Gorilla Punch and GMO x Dante’s Inferno. They are about 5 weeks old and are from photo seeds.
Hi Folks. There will be several exciting events at Medatron Homegrown in Orange on Saturday the 16th and at their Meriden location on the 17th. These amazing hydroponic and grow store have all your cultivation equipment, top shelf soils and amendments, psy Myshroom kits and spores, and a library of “hemp” clones and seeds to choose from.

There will be several raffles and giveaways from Fire In, and Fire Out! In addition, Fire In, Fire Out will have a wide selection of single source hash rosin, Hash rosin gummies, CBGA carts, Miracle Balm, Live Resin Carts, and FECO. Orange location: 185 Boston Post Rd., Orange, CT. Meriden location: 626 East Main St., Meriden, CT. Hope to see you there. Cheers!
Hi Folks. I decided to make some special gummies and try a new recipe. Everything turned out great, very pleased with the texture and effect. The flavor is sour orange. The strain of rosin was GMO x Cookies n Cream, and I did a very slow decarb at 160F, like I was activating for carts. Threw in some extra citric acid at the end for enhanced sour. There was 5000mg of THC, CBGA, and CBC in the batch, which equated to roughly 38mg per gummy. Thanks everyone, cheers!

Hi Folks. I have a number of new patients with various conditions so I made up a large batch of Entourage Balm. This batch has approximately had approximately 44k mg of Cannabinoids. The main carrier oils are Jojoba, MCT, and Hempseed. There is a long list of conditions that it helps with. Seems to growing daily. Here is a short list of some of the conditions it has helped: multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s with Tardive Dyskinesia, skin cancer, plantar fasciitis, persistent acme, dermatology issues, plaque psoriasis, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, Phantom Limb, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and post op recovery. I’m pleased to announce it cured my 103 Grandma’s plaque psoriasis, score! Making medicine for the masses, fire in, fire out! Cheers!

Hi Folks. Here is as quick video showing FECO reduction. The ethanol is mostly cooked off at this point. You can see micro bubbling as the last of the ethanol is gassed off. After I reduce it a little more I will pour it into a jar and finish it on the stirrer hot plate. This final step is unnecessary, but I like to finish it in jar and put it freezer for storage, and this makes it much easier. At this point, you can draw it up into 1ml oral syringes for patients and personal consumption.
I also like to keep a small amount of butter close by. Once poured from a the Pyrex dish into the jar, put a Tbsp into the Pyrex dish, and melt it to grab the last of the FECO. Makes clean up easy and then you have some high octane FECO butter. Be careful, the butter can be very powerful. Cheers!
Hi Folks. Here is a quick video of ethanol distillation. After filtering your tincture for FECO production, it’s great to reclaim some of your ethanol. Ethanol is expensive so I try to always buy in bulk, and I always try to distill the ethanol prior to reducing. It’s a very easy and cost effective step when making FECO. For safety reasons, always do this step in a well ventilated environment and never near an open flame. Typically I can reclaim 75%-80% of my tincture ethanol. Making medicine for the masses! Cheers!
Hi Folks. I wanted to post a video of filtration using the Büchner funnel. I use it for a final filtration for tinctures, FECO, and other cannabis mixtures. The starting material was 50g of decarbed hash rosin in a 200 proof ethanol solution. The mixture has been filtered 2x through unbleached coffee filters prior to the video.
When done filtering, I poured the mixture back into a mason jar and left it in the deep freezer to process on a future date. It still needs to be distilled and reduced. Enjoy!
Hi Folks. Today I started filtering some hash rosin tincture. The starting material was approximately 60g of food grade hash rosin from the 25u. In preparation, I decarbed the rosin at 200F for 6 hours. Some terps were lost, but it was an efficient and effective process. I then dissolved the rosin in 1 quart of 200 proof ethanol and left it in a mason jar in the deep freezer over night.
Today I filtered the mixture through unbleached coffee filters once, and then ran it through the Büchner funnel 2x.
The first 2 pics show the mixture post filtration. The 3rd pic shows the mixture before filtration. The 4th pic shows the mixture after the coffee filters, before using the Büchner funnel. You can see that’s it’s much clearer, but still has some minor fats and solids. The 5th pic shows the fats and lipids and solids that were filtered out in the initial coffee filter . Super gross!
The next steps are distillation and reduction, I will do those in a few days. Thanks for reading. Cheers!
