Hey, props to you for getting to your fourth grow and for quitting smoking after all those years—that’s huge!
Sounds like you’re really digging into the process, and honestly that’s how we all learn.
Quick tips:
- To keep your oil as THCA/CBDA, avoid heat. Don’t decarb, press low-temp if you can, and store it cold (fridge or freezer). It’ll still slowly convert over time, but way slower.
- If you’re into trichomes, harvest based on them—not the calendar. Mostly cloudy with a bit of clear is your THCA sweet spot.
- Your strain choices sound spot on for pain. Myrcene and limonene can definitely help with that.
Keep at it—you’re clearly passionate and doing the work. If you ever wanna compare notes on cold curing or low-temp pressing, I’m down to chat.
