Cheers mate,
You are a minefield of knowledge. You've convinced me to go with the distiller, outside is a no no for me as I'm overlooked from every angle so the smell would likely attract attention.
Please do let me know if the testing comes to fruition and you think it's worthwhile, would be useful contacts for the future.
Thanks for the reassurance about the RH, part of me suspected that about 50 is ok, but you know how it is, when I go and look at them I wonder if they would be bigger if the RH was higher. Me over thinking as usual.
My gut feeling about Ruderalis is the same as yours with regards to oil. Though they are different strains my gut feeling is also that my current grow of feminised photo periods will be a better vape/smoke than the autos I grew, but maybe I have a seed planted in my brain (so to speak) by the elitist grow shop staff. Their problem wasn't that they need a spliff, its that they'd had four too many.
Will be interested to hear about the UKCSC. Did occur to me that my COPD is not at a stage yet that it requires any form of treatment, I'm growing now because plants don't just spring up overnight and magically turn into oil, so I want to build up the skills and be prepared; and also if heaven forbid a cancer or other horrors appear it would be the first thing I would try with or without conventional treatments. I have two tears and mild arthritic inflamation in my right shoulders rotor cuff, I don't vape every day but I have noticed an added bonus that if say I vaped on Tuesday evening I don't get any grief from the shoulder for a couple of days (much better than say Nurofen gel). Back to my point; so I wonder if these scenarios, in addition to vaping to make me stop and relax properly and reduce anxiety, count under the tagged plant model as medical need.
Listened to another episode of Cannabis Health Radio earlier, general consensus is that it's best to use three different high THC strains when making oil to cover as many bases as possible with regard to getting different cannabinoids and terpenes etc, which made sense to me. So definately is worth reseraching strains to get a good mix. This episode also mentioned that "official' Canadian dispensaries may be forced to limit the amount of THC content in what they sell, this seems suspicious to me. If THC kills cancer ( the higher the better) it would suit pharma very well to pressure for lower THC content (under the guise of preventing psychosis no doubt) so that only they can legally access high THC strains to create more customers.
My last rant of the day, bye for now.
Regards
