MAKING TINCTURES AND CANNABIS EXTRACTIONS

  Cannabis growers often find themselves, after harvesting and pruning the inflorescences of their plants, with many leaves that are poor in resin that they don’t know what to do. Leaves have much less THC level then buds and they’re not worth smoking. However, there are several ways we can use these leaves. Cannabinoids are compounds that are soluble in alcohol or fat. So there are basically two types of extractions possible here: those made with alcohol and those made with fatty substances such oils and butter. All extracts can…

  OVERCOMING IMPATIENCE AND HARVEST AT THE RIGHT TIME To produce quality cannabis, you must above all be patient and respect the timing of the plant, flowering and drying. We know that patience is the virtue of the strong at least as the grower’s anxiety to harvest and taste the buds increases exponentially every day. The plant begins to bloom and the buds to form and swell. The buds begin to develop thousands of tiny crystaline dots filled with resin. Inside the glands, or trichomes, resin and THC accumulate.

It is important that the regime is severe. A longer daytime period would cause a delay or non-flowering. A shorter light cycle, on the other hand, would lead to lower production. The plants will begin flower formation ideally within a couple of weeks. During these…
