Welcome to the world of cannabis cultivation and consumption!

As a chain of cannabis dispensaries, we pride ourselves on our friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff who are always ready to make you feel like part of our ohana (Hawaiian for family).
Understanding MANA
Before we dive into our DIY tips, let’s take a moment to understand the concept of MANA (pronounced /MAH-NAH/). In Hawaiian culture, mana refers to a spiritual energy or power that flows through all things. At Mana Supply, we embody this spirit by providing high-quality cannabis products and fostering a sense of community among our customers.
DIY Tips for Cannabis Enthusiasts
1. Creating Your Own Cannabis-Infused Oil
One of the most versatile DIY projects for cannabis enthusiasts is making your own infused oil. This can be used in cooking, as a topical application, or even added to your favorite beverages. Here’s a simple method:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis by baking it at 240°F (115°C) for 40 minutes
- Combine the decarboxylated cannabis with your chosen oil (coconut, olive, or MCT) in a slow cooker
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally
- Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place
2. Building a DIY Humidity-Controlled Storage Box
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of your cannabis. Create your own humidity-controlled storage box with these steps:
- Choose an airtight container
- Add a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels
- Include humidity packs to maintain optimal moisture levels (58-62% RH)
- Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
3. Crafting Your Own Cannabis Tincture
Tinctures are a discreet and easy way to consume cannabis. Here’s how to make your own:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis as mentioned earlier
- Place the cannabis in a mason jar and cover with high-proof alcohol
- Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks, shaking daily
- Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth
- Store in a dropper bottle for easy use
4. Creating a DIY Bubbler
For those who enjoy smoking, crafting your own bubbler can be a fun project:
- Gather materials: a glass bottle, downstem, bowl, and rubber grommet
- Carefully drill a hole in the side of the bottle for the downstem
- Insert the downstem and secure with the grommet
- Add water to the bottle and attach the bowl
- Enjoy your homemade bubbler responsibly
5. Cultivating Your Own Cannabis Plants
For those in areas where it’s legal, growing your own cannabis can be a rewarding experience:
- Choose high-quality seeds or clones from reputable sources
- Set up a grow light system and proper ventilation
- Monitor and maintain optimal temperature, humidity, and pH levels
- Feed your plants with appropriate nutrients throughout their growth cycle
- Harvest and cure your buds properly for the best results
