Lowryder Dwarf Mix HPS & CFL Grow

[Londoner]

no im going to sort extraction out this weekend. well im sorting my cab out this weekend i dont want anythin else to go wrong if it can be helped.

i was thinking maybe pc fan's? one extraction and one for drawing cold air in. and a normal fan in there for more circulation? you think that will do it?


8 more weeks and i'l be smoking the first green iv had in about 6 months.

i hope

I dont rate pc fans very highly mate, especially not with a hps, youl probably get away with it with the 70w but defo not over 250.

Whoop whoop!!! BO!! First weed for 6months!! Carefull you dont pull a whitey lmao

looking good fyfe, sorry to hear bout the casualties! pulled up a seat! this is about the same timescale as my diesel ryder grow, will be good to see how we get along considering ur using hps and cfl compared to my envirolite, keep up the good work

Thanks for dropping by mate, squeeze your seat in amongst the others

i'l have a look at your journals now.

yeh with it only being a 70w it really dont produce much heat i mainly just need to get some circulation and get rid of the heat a little. when i get my hps bulb i can see what sort of temps im dealing with. i have a couple of old comp fans knocking about somewhere so i'l try them out. if they dont work i'l go bigger.

yeh i know its goona be smart having some decent bud for a change instead of shitty soap. i'l have a spliff and

come to think of it my uncles plants are ready in two weeks so i'l get a taster of them mmmmmm

yeah thats been my staple smoke for way toooooo long, ur chest will thank u when ur havest is ready for smoking lol

i know yeh, i hate even thinking about the sh*t im inhaling when i roll up a spliff of soap. i want a nice tasty fat green or i want to try one of those vaporiser's to.

did anyone ever find the recipe for soap bar? im going to try find whats in it. cause its not anything like normal hash is it?

 

[Fyfe]

If this guy is right which iv found a few supporting quotes on dffrent forum it would seem that this is the rule of thumb guide to make soap bar.

There's nothing that is always added to the hash, it varies depending on what the dodgy bastard in question can think of or get his hands on.

But there's no question about the impurities. I've seen water turn a funky pale yellow color, while purifying soapbar. Someone has told me that while purifying soapbar one time, the water smelled like coffee. Disgusting.

quote:While reading Robert Connell Clarke's excellent book, Hashish, we came across a section on low-grade export quality Moroccan hash, known in the UK as Soap Bar. It seems that soap is made from only a very small percentage of resin glands (referred to as pollen), and up to 90% non-resin cannabis plant material which is bound together with bee's wax or pine resin and condensed milk as the mixture is too dry and powdery to be bound any other way. As the mixture is very green due to the high percentage of plant material, it is then coloured with instant coffee or henna to give it that sandy brown colour! In order to give it a slightly resinous look, turpentine is then added, which also disguises the taste!

Well, as growers with an abundance of leaf material left over from a crop, we couldn't help ourselves. We had to give it a try!

We sieved off 10 grams of resin glands (pollen), crushed up 200 grams of dried leaf and ran it through a sieve to reduce it to a very fine powder. We then heated this mixture in a bowl over boiling water and added 5 grams of bee's wax, five teaspoons of condensed milk powder, one teaspoon of turpentine, and a couple of pinches of instant coffee powder for colour. We continued to knead the heated mixture into a dough-like form, then pressed it under pressure and allowed it to cool. It bonded well into rock hard lumps, just like Soap Bar! To our delight, when we tested it with a flame, immediately we were treated with that old familiar smell of grade 'A' genuine Soap Bar! Crumpled like it too! Although there was virtually no resin glands in this so-called hash, we gave some to a friend and he had no complaints!!

well im off to smoke my bee's wax and coffee spliff.

I know the pics aint very interesting but come on not one little comment?

 

[uk WeeD]

look ok- need bigger pots definitley, my auto ak's are the same age and are starting there 3rd set of leaves - having to put up with a shitty envirolite too, dont think me plants would appreaciate baking under my hps (gets to 40c+ within minutes).

 

[Fyfe]

yeh they need bigger pots but i had an accident a few days ago so i want to leave them for now so they can re root themselves as.. well my kitchen floor was covered in little plants and soil.

i'l be putting them in there final pots straight from these ones.

 

[uk WeeD]

the plant in pic no 3, is it really big or is it a tiny pot?

 

[Fyfe]

ouch 4 times. better watch it dont hermie on you with the stress.

i have some other pots i can use for now if they get desperate for a change before my square ones come.

 

[Fyfe]

Its really big compared to the others mate.

well not big but the leaves are almost as wide as they are long. i'd say an inch wide. it just took off. im not complaining though.

[Fyfe]

Yeh i have a bag of bagseed from some real nice stuff i got. it was compressed when i got it? all squished together. i was planning on findin a real quite spot somewhere and dropping a load of seeds along the hedge line. there's lots of good spots where i live where no one ever goes.
