This press was from Princess Auto
The plate assembly was 270 cnd from China

If you are handy, already have the tools and ordered all the parts off of ebay.
Purchased the Aluminum and drilled the plates yourself
Should cost you around $150 to make plate and controller.

I have the same press and so does @berulakide

I followed @Greengenes707 DIY plate video.
The video I used got taken down, here is his new video. My plates/pid set up cost about $230 to build.

Almost finished my a new light. Still waiting for my Chilled Puck from RapidLED is located in California (Somehow my light ended up in Sweden) It's for a Lemon tree in my living room.

So RapidLED uses a USPS Label then gets FedEx to drop it off to Canada Post. So I get Fucked as usual any time FedEx touch my mail.

So I had good success with Canuk Seeds this year Blueberry and GG#4. One of my resolutions is not to buy seeds in 2019.
Instead of going out this year I spent my NYE budget on seeds.


Happy New Year!!

Congrats but, $20+ for a single F1 seed? I got the same email but $249 for 11 seeds at regular price plus discount was a hard pass for me. For Canuk seeds..... $20+ a seed....SMH. If it was $5 or less a seed specifically because of the breeder, but they seem to over value their offerings.

Could have ordered from attitude and stacked a bunch of promos and ended up with more reliable, trusted and known breeders and twice the seeds.

I've had excellent results from Canuk. Not so much with other breeders so far. I don't think $152 is too much for 12 different strains.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure what kinda pheno selection you're going to get from a single seed per strain. Especially being F1's. I'm looking forward to seeing how their bubba looks.

I have wondered about their bubba, mostly because they say it is a bubblegum cross which is not true of actual bubba.

Here is Canuk C99...I think it has a calmag issue. Upped the Calmag not sure if it is helping though. Only strain on the table showing this, although it is the only Sativa.

 

[gb123]

Feed your plants both grow and boom for the two week switch over if not longer..... not just bloom.
It may help and you wont have to add cal/mag

So who's making the 2019 thread?
This picture doesn't belong here but i dropped 14 black funk dawg seeds from Jordan of the Islands yesterday, good germination rate IMO
8/14 were already standing up this morning when I snapped this pic


* @zoic could just change the title to 2018-2019 gyo

 

[WHATFG]

[GreenHighlander]

PeakseedsBC Kush x c99 tester at day 50 from flip.




Best part is it is 100% Canadian bred and not even close to 20 something bucks a seed.

The smell is absolutely amazing. Smells like rocket candies with a hint of kush.
All credit goes to MIkeJ the most underrated breeder going. All I did was not kill it lol

Hey farmer j the press works well, but i have a queation. Between your qauge and press where the fitting is, what do you have for a seal? 1 nylon washer, or 2? Or o-ring or combo? Mine seeps a tiny bit of oil when left under preasure, and i would rather not habe to keep topping it up or ever worry about any contination or big mess making.
The diagram in the book shows 1 but it came with 2 and a small o-ring??

 

[gb123]

Gauge,,...we don nee no stinkin gauges man


kindding

I never installed one on my 20 ton but I can tell ya you get a feel for it as you go
You dont need a gauge to tel you that you pressed to hard. You can press paper into pieces and herb all over the place
A pre press is key for herb and kief or bubble is put in a bag.
BOTH CAN BE SQUISHED TO HARD! but you feel how hard to press and you can see when to stop.
just tryin to save ya some doe....

Yeah mine seeps a bit too, but I like having the gauge. I'll press 1 ton for a minute to warm up my material, then every 15 seconds after that I bump the pressure slowly until I get to 6 1/2 tons.

Ok, at least i know im not the only one. The guage came with the press so no extra dough spent there. I like having it, and i do kinda the same as you farmer j and do about a ton to warm up then increase a ton or so every so often as well.
Just trying to see if i can keep it from seeping out. Still though, isthereone nylon washer in there or 2?
