I've been working from home the past few days, and under heavy procrastination I had a chance to make a useful little tool that will notify my phone as soon as the OCS restocks. I've uploaded it to the play store for all ya'lls satisfaction. It may be a bit slow/unreliable now but if there's enough interest I have some ideas for a few more updates/features.
Let the races begin.
Edit: Old listing removed from the play store due to "promotion of illegal substances", probably because of its US availability.

I wish 3.5g could last me a month, but usually gone in 2 days.
On Amazon, buy a bag of boveda brand humidity control. You can use the same one over and over for a couple of months.
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00JV27MF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KDEY27KVHF01SC50HA1V
if you have time you could cancel your order on the OCS store and just order them off amazon: 4 gram 62%, 8 gram 58%
Pick up some Boveda packs:
I ordered 75% relative humidity ones and I found it made the weed too damp. Waiting on my 58%. The higher RH packs are ok if you don't leave them in the jar too long. I've heard you can find them at head shops around Toronto for a lot cheaper than what Amazon sells them for.
"Sold Out" products won't appear within the Cannabis Products Tabs. They can still be searched. I would recommend that if you want to know exactly when a specific strain gets released to download this app.

Not sure if on app store but search "OCST"
Would something like this work? The whole reason I was planning on an outdoor grow was so I wouldn't have to buy a $100 grow light.
if youre bud is SUPER dry you can get a humidifying stone stone to pump some moisture back into the buds
​
this or literally a broken piece of a terra cotta planter
You can do that. You can also get some on Amazon. Look for Raw filter .. there's cigarette type filters, paper filters, all sorts of stuff. Chances are you'll get they before your weed...

I've only ever been able to find it on Amazon sadly. This is the one I use.
It's not super necessary if you're eager to make them, you can always just freeze a large batch and rotate out what you need.
Tiny joints, and use a 1:1 strain. A *great* strain to begin with is Solei Balance. The CBD is mellow and relaxing.
I also wrote a "guide to smoking a joint" which I will share with you :)
1: Place and setting: Do this in a place you are familiar with and feel safe, and if others are there, people you trust. A big party in an unfamiliar spot with people you don't know well is *not* a good idea. You can do it by yourself too if you prefer.
1b: Have things to do - have some music ready, a comedy, some snacks.
2: Don't smoke the whole joint. Light it, have 2-3 puffs good puffs, put it out, wait 10 minutes. Repeat if necessary.
2b: I'll note that with a 1:1 strain you'll probably end up smoking the whole joint, but it's better to start slow - it's easy to take more weed, it's harder to "untake" it.
3: Inhale properly. It's quite common for people who start not to inhale right. After you take a puff, inhale some clean air to push the smoke down deeper into your lungs. Hold it a few seconds (3-5 is plenty) and exhale slowly. If you don't inhale clean air right after your puff, some smoke will stay in your mouth and throat and won't reach the lungs.
4: Stay hydrated
5: Enjoy! :)
To help you rolling joints, you can look at youtube videos, but I also recommend a joint rolling machine - they are pretty cheap and work great for thin pinners.

Unfortunately it was suspended from the play store due to "promoting illegal substances". I have appealed the suspension which I should have heard back from. I will probably have to re-list the app. I will let you know when it's back up. Thank you.

ah for sure it can def cause a bit of stomach ache, but i find it fades rather quickly if you are drinking water. i find stomach pain from edibles are generally just lack of water. cheers man i hope you find what works for you, but i just make my own now, and if you don't grow yourself, its worth to just buy a bag of bakesale (68$/oz) and infuse some mct oil yourself. this way you can take less and get more out of it :) peep this device for small batch oil brews
​
i have the larger version and my god, if you use lecithin and mct oil, youll create a strong ass edibles.
Burner tokes on your Stovetop with a straw. Ontop of ashes with a torch lighter. Boof it...
Ideally you want one of these and a propane torch:
Here's the link! As for the jars, I looked to see if they had it written but I don't see the size on them. Honestly, I just went to the dollar store and looked for something that was similar in size to the jars/containers that 3.5 grams come in when you get it.
Here is the link! It has actually been amazing! I was looking for smell proof cases and this one had good reviews and has worked perfectly for my needs.
Thinking of being cheap anf making a kettle, from these:

If you bought any square 3.5g style containers the lid has 4 spots for carts in the corners. Also silicone makeup brush holders work good too from Amazon Makeup should find them for $5

People aren't crapping on the aesthetic necessarily. A ziplock is not a good thing to store weed in. They are gas-permeable.

Its a USB microscope from amazon. This one, in particular, is great because it connects to your phone via wifi. It really makes it easy to take a photo and then create social media posts.
And it's still deemed to be in the bottom 16% for speed. Looking closer at what they are doing, I'm getting 19mb downloaded from the pedro review page. Granted most of that is video and the rotating bud shot. They could easily forgo the useless rotating gif, and give you a much higher res image and still improve their speed time.
I only feed half strength 3-1-3 every other water now seems better.
u/Weed520 could you say that in ppms or EC?
Also what is your PH you have been feeding at / what is your mediums PH at?
To even begin to start understanding nutrient feeding you need to be able to present these numbers to start to understand what your actually giving and what your plant is actually using.
The 3-1-3 just represents the N-P-K values and doesn't actually refer to what strength your feeding at.
Invest in a cheap EC meter and PH meter such as this to get you sorted until you can get something better if you want.
Sorry for late response here's the one I got off Amazon find it works great and good quality

It works with everything except few type of phones but most phones are compatible.
I used one of the app they recommended in their manual called inseam app works good with it also set up on laptop manual straight forward comes to 39 $ with tax with Amazon prime.
Amazon has way better prices though, check these out for comparison.

I keep a couple of these handy
A few hours and most weed will recoup 10% of their weight
it can be a little overwhelming. i like to use little jars like this and they easily hold a 3.5, if not close to 7 depending on the bud, you can probably also find them at walmart or something
You could just buy a "1ml oral syringe":

I hear you about having a newborn. My son is going on 6 now and I feel like I was a zombie for many years. Different CBD has different affects on us, Id try a different brand. Also I would try taking it 30 minutes before bed. Lastly check out OLLY sleep gummies, my partner said they took her right into happy sleep land.

justI bought these from Amazon, I am not 100% sure if I should actually transfer all of the product over.

This one looks pretty awesome, but man, it would be pricey to buy more than one or two

I found this on amazon the other day, never bought it but looks like a good idea if you have no experience or don't like rolling: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B013XF7XK8/?coliid=I14ITMYFZ112NK&colid=3C17DUQMXH46G&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
You buy the humidity packs at certain percentages. You keep it with the bud in an airtight container (out of the light preferably) and it keeps the the humidity in the jar at that percentage. Lol at least that's how I understand it works.
Amazon is believe is the cheapest and these are great for up to 7 grams.
I've started out with oils too but back then Redecan gave proper syringes. No I suggest you just buy these if you want an accurate measurement. It's hard to pinpoint how much you should start out with because alot of health and physical factors play a roll. Now .1 of a mil is 3mg of thc. I would say start out with 0.3-0.4 mils to play it safe. Nothing would suck more for someone new to have a panic attack or something. If you don't feel satisfied then I would up it by 0.2 mil increments (6mg). If you got anymore questions just dm me or post to this sub.
I use the AmazonBasics small camera case. It's two leveled and pluckable to customize your things. I have it setup for my Mighty, some stash containers, grinder, charger, water attachment and still have room to add more if I need to.
I recommend it if you need something smell proof. It's a bit bulky but great for storing everything and taking to go or throw in the trunk.

Perhaps read the book White Fragility. Your POV is perfectly explained in this book and why it does in fact feed systematic racism. You can buy it here. https://www.amazon.ca/White-Fragility-People-About-Racism/dp/0807047414
I put my bud in a mason jar with a Boveda pack.
I generally buy 15g at a time. It lasts me a couple months and the bud is still fresh right down to the last nugget.
You can just use your fingers or a drinking straw to pack them.
Costs about $40 for 1000 empty capsules from Amazon.
I get these ones, $128 for 5000 empty capsules
https://www.amazon.ca/Clear-Empty-Gelatin-Capsules-Capsuline/dp/B00PYV3OXA/
Amazon has them (smell proof) and ones that lock too - depending on the size, they run $20-60 :) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MLRS85P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought one of these bags a while ago for around $25. I have grown about 20 oz using pretty much only this as nutrients (did add some Cal-Mag, also cheap). I still have at least half the bag left.
https://www.amazon.ca/General-Hydroponics-MaxiBloom-Gardening-2-2-Pound/dp/B00NXVZQUW
Price on amazon is whack because there is only one dude selling it but you can get it from a local hydro/grow store.
I picked up one of these from Amazon:
This is the same that I have, and have had for like a year at least. I dont know why some reviews mention bad pressure, i find its fine with good batteries. Only problem is it gets dirty after a while and needs to be thoroughly scrubbed
I got mine at Amazon... Smallest sized (4 gram, 2"x2" packet ea) 62% fits a 125 ml mason jar no problem.
There's many, MANY fine books on the subject, personally I recommend starting with :
https://www.amazon.ca/Marijuana-Horticulture-Outdoor-Medical-Growers/dp/187882323X
But there are plenty of other authors whose work is just as good.
Not bad. Yesterday on Amazon (I have Prime) I got these 12x500ml for $9.87... for some reason they're selling for $21.97 today so I'd definitely go with your choice if I didn't get them cheap.
But to be honest, 500ml is too big for 1 - 3.5g of weed per jar. Ah well.
