I'll start out with Lugol's solution

It is a 3% iodine tincture supplement.

We make our own 6% version.

My wife has under active thyroid and this suppliment allows her to take lower doses of medicine for it.
When you've got a moment would you mind posting up that recipe you go by for that? And dosing instructions based on your experience using it please.
I've been adding iodine rich foods into my diet and that sounds like a good addition to what I've already beendwarfing towards.

It's pretty straight forward, especially with this Ardent Nova.
I will say up front if you're doing a large amount of time with up to and over 3 hours to do a full batch. This is a comparison to useing Magical Brand silicone Decarb boxes. They can be run in about an hour or so each box.
I did 1260 gms. in the Nove, it took 7-1/2 batches to decarb it al, so a considerable amount of hours.
But,,, the Nova, by far does a much better and thourgh decarb with a much better end product.
So, I decarb about 1/4lb.per batch, after coooling in Nova the green light comes on. I add this to a 1/2 gllon jar and cover with everclear. Continue this process untill I ended up with 7 of the 1/2 gallon jars with about 1/2 lb in each covered with everclear.
If you're in a hurry you can put the jars, covered lightly in a double boiler contraption andboil at 170* for 20 minutes or just ket the jars sit for a week if ya have time.
I then use a 4L vacum fask with a 4000ml buchner funnel and vacum filter all the goodness off the plant material. I'll wash the vacuumed flower with clean ethanol to pull the remnants oils.
Now the fun part. I use a 3qt rice cooker and pour the diluted tincture into it and begin the evaporation process.
I do this on a counter near an open window with a small 9" fan blowing over the top of the cooker and out the window.
Continuse to refill the cooker and continue the reduction untill you begin to see samall little hardened flakes of solid RSO start to float on top.
This is the point where you decide just how thick you want your finished product.
I like mine so that it's starting to get of the heavy viscosity side but not true RSO firm texture for ease of dosing.
If you are a virgin to the tinc world start easy, it'll put ya down and fast.
I use 15ml dropper bottles and they contain the equivalent to a 1000mg bag of gummies. So in other words, a 15ml dropper bottle with a very thick but liquid viscosity oil is about the same as a 1000mg syringe of RSO.
