Thanks G im slow but getting there
I need to find out more about this. I was not aware that pollen dies, but then I guess it makes sense. Frozen is the way forward, seems to work a treat!As to the pollen, I'm not sure that it lasts for more than a few hours exposed to air. Do not write that in stone, I said I'm not sure. I've also read that spraying the buds you paint before putting them back into your flower room is a good idea, it helps to keep any loose pollen from spreading and I think this is where I read about it not lasting real long.
Now that would be cool Dez, GOOD LUCK indeed. Funny speaking to some people who work the coffeeshops here, it can be hard to get a normal job after working in a coffeeshop according to a lot of bods.Wish me luck. I heard through the grapevine that the guy I built the grow op for is looking to fire a guy that works at his dispensary for stealing bud and I'm going to try to get his job, hehe.
My body is too F'd up to be doing the kind of work I normally do so I've been trying to find a job in another industry for some time now with 0 success. I keep getting told I'm overqualified and they don't hire me out of fear that I'll leave if I get an opportunity making more money back in the construction industry. All I can do is try to reassure them that I'm not looking for that but my resume is long and mostly construction so they don't want to believe me.
I don't need to make the same money I used to and I can always supplement my income with my new hobby here if I really needed to but that's not why I got into this hobby so I'd use that as a last resort. Same buddy that I'm going to try to get a job with has said he'd buy from me for his dispensary if I needed some dough. I've smoked some of my stuff with him and he was pretty impressed so don't think there'd be an issue. He really liked the Sour Grapes.
Anyway, I think it'd be a cool deal to work at a club and I'm all about whatever is going to make me happy anymore after having to with other people's BS for soo long.
You need to speak to oscaroscar who sits up all night watching the ashes!!!Pretty much off topic... but I know some of you are in England. If you are from anywhere else, you probably have no idea what they are... but... anyone watching The Ashes?
Sounds like a lot got trapped in the mulch, your strainer sounds like it's too small/tight...whatever you would say.Whats up fellas. Looks like some breeding is going down cool shizznit Dez. And thanks everbody for the input i learned a few useful things whilst reading.
Well my first hash attempt yeilded miserably. Hmmm not to sure what happened but out of a few oz of skuff i only managed a gram or so. But it is Heavy Duty and a light brown almost blonde sand looking. Think i did a few things wrong like using frozen skuff and over mixing the batch. Ohh well atleast i got me a lil hash and no more shake laying around. Next time ill do better hehe.
The good folks at hanna instruments sent me my new free of charge ph probe today. Seems they are simpathetic to newb hydro growers lol. Anyways i just thought that was really cool of them to send a replacement for free. Now I just hope it works lol.
Hope yee all are doing well. 1BMM

England are doing well as far as I have heard....I think Masonman was playing with ya bru...it was the "stumped" comment that gave it away, hehe.It's a cricket match. Well actually a best of 5 of matches between England and Austrailia. They have it every 2 years. It's fucking long... but the best thing in the world of sports (in my opinion). You might guess it to be about the stupidest thing if you weren't into cricket. Each match is 5 days long, 8 hours a day. Started the day before Thanksgiving and goes till Jan 6. Oh... haha... the best part. It could be a draw at the end. So far there's been 1 draw, and England are looking to win the second match today (actually tomorrow in australia).
Also... I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for their vegging light info. It was like a roll call in here. We have so many members it's fucking awesome. Lots of good info there. I'm still not sure what to do in my grow... but I'm armed with much info and experience of others... which is one of the reasons the 600 club ROCKS!!!!
Ah, the new Tardis in construction. It still amazes me that you get nearly a pound out of the cab Jig!!!View attachment 1309629 View attachment 1309630 So the first pic is the old tube... that's gonna be placed about 4 feet up the wall... then the one sitting by the door is going to be the bottom level placed about 2.5 feet up. the tub will be the rez. It will have a water pump flowing the water though the top tube... then it will drop strait down to the next tube... then to the rez. It will make more sense when it is together. It's gonna have 5 plants per level, 10 total (i'm good at math, huh). I'm using strong ties to hold the things up to the wall.
I mix for 30 minutes with a wooden spoon and good old muscle power. My ratios with trim to hash are about 10:1. I leave for 15 minutes to sink. Then lift bags. I don't let the bags drain naturally, I bounce the bags slightly so the run off doesn't take all day, and doesn't trap any unwanted minuscule plant matter that has got through. I generally run the mix 3 X.Ahh good thinking jig. Wise guy you
No I did mix it well. I mean i mixed it for like an hour letting it settle for a few min here and there. I just didnt seperate the mix correctly i think. I siphoned off probably alot of good shizznit as it hadnt all settled. Ohh well lesson learned. I did get a nice chunk though. Ohh and that pic was takin right before i started mixing aswell Duh i should have said that hehe.
Like a pro Jig. You setups are always so tidey and efficient. good stuff dude.
Yeah Endls i did have the frothy foam going. I just jumped the gun to soon. Next round will be better i hope lol.
That was for sure worth the see 1BMM!!! Lovely ladies!!!
Hopefully your vision will have come back then, Dez, lol.Damn dude! My headband never got any height to it. Yours is bitchin looking.
I'm also too f'd up to really even be posting since I can hardly read atm so I'll post a pic of mine in the morning. Took me a few minutes to type, read, edit and then finally post, lol.
See you guys tomorrow
Digital ballasts are about 100 watts more efficient - magnetic MAY be more reliable, but definitely wastes about 100 watts as heat. I have a digital 600HPS which has failed once, and a 400HPS magnetic that I got to use with a CMH bulb - thing seems built like a tank.Opinions on digital ballast vs normal?
Opinions on digital ballast vs normal?
Fire Fire Fire, Hot Hot Hot>>>>>>>>>>>running and screaming to the fireyall saw what happened to my magnetic right!?
I'd use Hot Shot No Pest Strips for the spider mites (better than neem and as good as pyrenthins IMHO) and spray for the mildew.got a quick question for you guys on the six hun, If u wanted to treat for powdery mildew and sppidermites would o mix the stuff in one spray bottle or do two seperate squirts with two difrent bottles?
neem oil will work for both just greatIts spider mits and pm im dealing with but i will think bout milk wen ive rid the gals of mites
