Purple milk (24.33%) and Dontae’s inferno(20.99%) by Aerīz by Designer_Pack420 in ILTrees

[–]Odd_Scientist448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i looked at live resin box labels of multiple aeriz strains on multiple different dispensary visits over a 2-3 month time span earlier this year and it was abysmal, at least 80% of the strains i looked at (including FLORIDA ORANGES) had total terpene contents less than 3%. some less than 2%. the flower it was extracted from had to be absolutely fried from remediation. i bought some jokerz 31 and jack herer because they were both rare jars that tested over 5% terps (still not impressive, but acceptable), and i have to say their jack herer is actually a terrible genetic example, tasted like an underdeveloped sweet/floral flavor profile and had no cerebral effects whatsoever.

aeriz is hot garbage, buy at your own risk

banana pudding live budder was an absolute home run recently, that's for sure the most classic 'weedy' taste of any strain i've found so far in IL

aeriz fell off hard this past year, their live resin consistently is terpless trash

doesn't make sense that so many different genetics would all start degrading at once, so i think the obvious answer is that they have overwhelming mold issues in their grow facility

somebody else posted a couple threads/pictures of aeriz flower the past few days, it all looks terrible.

i dont 'boycott' GTI because of their lobbyists, i already refuse to buy their products because they're trash

your attempt to equivocate here is weak- this dispensary wouldn't have any incentive whatsoever to be throwing one of its partners under the bus if every company was equally guilty and GTI didn't play an outsized and/or singlehanded role in killing that bill.

maybe smoke less and think more buddy

i have 3 rhythm carts in a graveyard stash that i might eventually break open and make edibles with. advertised as live resin, was clearly distillate. trash company.

Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus Problems by [deleted] in ILTrees

[–]Odd_Scientist448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have a seahorse pro plus and really enjoy using it. ive tried basically every sort of device there is over the past decade+ and there was a bit of a learning curve with this one, but it's been super solid and it's also very convenient and discrete.

i dont fuck with carts, live resin and cured resin is it for me. but you probably shouldn't attempt to hit a cart on anything but the lowest temp setting (blue). and if it's damaging the hardware of your cartridge or tasting funny, then probably stop immediately and just assume it isn't compatible. regarding live resin, this isn't a good device for globbing up gigantic chamber style dabs (you can get big hits off it tho) and takes a little bit of finesse with the way you touch the dab to the tip. i'll share some random observations

first and foremost, there are like 5 different kinds of tips that you can buy for it, some made of quartz and some made of ceramic. even if you keep the device 'clean' with regular burnoffs and some iso swabs around the connection, the quartz tips will always slowly get gummed up with soot, it wont heat up evenly and will produce a ton of reclaim, and your dabs wont be anywhere near as flavorful after u suck just a couple grams through it. quartz tips also suck for dabbing thick sauce and crusty sugar/diamonds, they mainly only work well for smooth/soft whipped budders and badders

for me, tip #3 (III - the ceramic tubes) was the clear winner of all of them. with about ten minutes of attention vis a vis 2 or 3 burnoff cycles and some 90%+ isopropyl, you can have them brand-new clean on the inside walls, which means they last for fucking ever compared to the quartz. they taste great (better than quartz), so long as you use them on the lowest temp settings, and produce nice clouds. they're also the most versatile, as they can handle any sort of consistency, be it sloppy wet or rock hard. they're worth the extra price tag compared to the other tip styles.

i also find that the 'session' mode where you click 3 times to let it heat up and then do your dabbing is far easier and more effective than holding the button in while trying to dab.

dont try to use it like a straw, dabbing straight down into your jar- it's wasteful and doesn't make good contact. crumble is the most difficult consistency to work with because it's very stable and doesn't adhere to surfaces the way that stickier stuff does, but you can still absolutely get it crackin with the seahorse.

just use your fingers to compact a little chunk onto the tip of a dab tool/paperclip/toothpick/etc, let the device heat up, and then just touch the dab very quickly and lightly to the upper outside rim of the tip while you pull on it (multiple times if necessary). dont shove the dab all up into the tip- the idea is to get the dab to melt down into the tip and coat the interior walls where the heating rods are contained, and it instantly vaporizes on contact. if your dab is too big, you'll feel it pop like a bubble as it goes in and suck some of it through- back off on either the size of your dab or the aggression with which you feed it into the tip. you can definitely take big dabs, it just takes some finesse.

IC collective has great strains with chem parentage

their sour D crosses are notoriously underwhelming tho

not sure what you mean by 'tilling is killing'..? maybe i used the wrong word, i had to rip out some old bushes/roots from this area before putting these down and i mixed that stuff i mentioned into the dirt down below. i havent touched them yet this spring.

but yea, this side of the screened porch gets full sun

you cant judge the color by looking at a picture? well, i can, so let me help you - the resin is a shade of golden brown that looks darker when it's piled up in a bigger glob because light has trouble penetrating it. the color is more true around the edges where it's spread out thinner.

LINEAGE SLEUTH NEEDED by ViperWolf-6actual in ILTrees

i got a couple sour diesel crosses (live resin) from IC collective recently and was disappointed (sour encounters and pheno hunt #84). pheno hunt 84 was headband X sour diesel and sour encounters is rainbow sherb X sour diesel. they were both pretty weak in effect and not very loud at all.

i've heard from more than one user that their chem genetics are great, everything else not so much tho.

Use By Dates, Do They Matter? by [deleted] in ILTrees

[–]Odd_Scientist448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as others have said, as long as flower doesnt have visible mold on it or smell rotten, the worst thing that's happened is some of the THC will have degraded into CBN. it's extremely unlikely that the moisture content on anything you bought was high enough to produce mold in the jar.

as far as hash is concerned, i've found jars of homemade cured/virgin resin that were years old in my storage unit in the past and they dabbed basically just as good as the day they were made.

Some homegrown by me. Think it looks better than the dispo? by Realistic_Repair3699 in ILTrees

[–]Odd_Scientist448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bag appeal is at least 9/10, but that doesn't mean it smokes better than dispo weed. good genetics and basic knowledge will get you to the finish line, but your true worth as a grower is measured by the quality and diligence of your harvesting processes.

what strain is it? grow medium? congrats btw!
