stay away from nook. We're on our 4th one in year. When the ups fellow picked it up, he asked if there had been a recall, because he was getting so many shipments.

But then it wouldn't be a surprise 
i would rather an iPad because it can do so much more.

A think cos they are letting it with a cooker washer and 2 beds as furnished that's why it's so high, need to tell them they can take all that dirty stuff away how much would that take off. As the house couldn't be in a better place I'm willing to meet them half way I told him I will decorate it upto date and put new doors and blinds up that will get left if I ever leave or out dirty carpets left down there is no wonder the person who been in about 3 weeks has left already

How's all doing! Had to take some time out there, and slowly getting it going again, still have all clone's 
. The Pineapple was amazing, sorry the updates got stopped folk's, safety first......
Took a Psycosis down the other week, great yeilder vs quality, first go of it and think ill let the cheese go for now than keep 2 mother's so alike.
On the Casey Jones Hunt, i popped a couple more pip's last week, but just had a nice surprise with some C.J in with a care pkg.
So got plenty bean's to play with and thinking of about 10-15 diff. 12/12 from seed to get through some.
Hope all the gang's gooooooood and catch you's soon.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I was looking at the Kindle Fire and thought, well if I am getting one of those I might as well get an ipad mini. Like James2500, my good lady is very much an Apple maniac, what with her being an artsy fartsy designerishtype.
The only problem with taking her shopping for it, lik whodat say,s no surprise, but also, knowing her she would end up getting me to buy her a book for 11 euro or something daft, she hates spending money and has already told me, "don't be buying me a birthday present! lmfao, yeh ok, birthday comes round. "sorry luv, I done what you said and bought myself something instead
" that would not go down well.......So it's an iPad mini or a Kindle then...I was thinking Kindle Paperwhite thingymabob if going for Kindle....
It never arrvied, I just checked the spam file and nothing there either....????
they do this in Holland lad. If your apartment is under 70m squared then it is subject (or can be subject to) rent inspection. You can get an agency in who assess the property and will tell you how much it is worthwhile. And the landlord then has to rent at that price, no arguments. However, when renting as furnished, they can charge whatever price as they then start facturing in the monthly lease of the furniture as well....well dodgy if you ask me. Most rental place will be furnished and cost twice as much.
Hello mate, glad to see you around and not asquare.How's all doing! Had to take some time out there, and slowly getting it going again, still have all clone's

Dababydroman I found this on the site somewhere. I am not sure who wrote all this up. I am not trying to take credit. You asked and this is what I have stored. I hope it helps.
Found this:
Collection and Storage of Pollen
One of the keys to producing viable seeds is the proper collection of, and if needed, storage of pollen. I try to make sure the pollen I use is viable. I am going to discuss how I go through the whole process. Pollen can stay viable for at least a week or two outside of the refrigerator. I don't recommend waiting this long because it is important that pollen be as fresh as possible. This will prolong its viability during storage. Using pollen that is older is still better than nothing, if that is all you have to work with. Pollen that has become inviable does no good and wastes time and energy.
Male plants produce the pollen and females produce the seeds. ... tap the top of the cone slightly with my finger to see if the pollen falls out of the cone. If it is a very small cone, it is best to put a piece of paper under the cone to catch any pollen that may fall out. If ANY pollen falls from the cone, it is ready to harvest. ... You will notice that some of the pollen sacs are ruptured when you see that pollen has fallen out.
If you don't catch the male cone on its first day releasing pollen, it is best to see how many of the pollen sacs have ruptured. If all the pollen sacs have ruptured, it may be hard to determine when the pollen has been released, and therefore may be inviable. ... Extremely high temperatures will reduce the viability of pollen. Pollen will continue to shed for approximately five days.
I collect the pollen every two days and place it in paper packets I make by folding small pieces of notebook paper and sealing the side and ends with tape. It is important to make sure that the tape covers as little of the surface as possible so that the paper packet can breathe. ...
In order to store pollen for long periods of time, it is important to remove as much of the water content in the pollen as possible. Store the pollen in a glass jar or vial, avoiding plastic bags, which can breathe and are not the best for long-term storage. To reduce the water content in the pollen, place some desiccant in the bottom of the container. I use an indicating desiccant. When dry this material is blue, and as it absorbs moisture, it turns pink. By using an indicating desiccant, you can tell when it has absorbed all the moisture it can. It is impossible to tell whether regular desiccant is still dry just by looking at it.
Once indicating desiccant has absorbed all the moisture possible, it turns pink. Place it in the oven and bake it until it turns blue again. This desiccant can be used over and over again. The amount of desiccant you use depends on the amount of pollen you are trying to dry out. I have found that 1/2 - 1" in the bottom of the container works well. The paper packets are then placed on top of the desiccant.
By using paper packets, which can breathe, the desiccant can do its job. Instead of using one big packet for all of your pollen, place the pollen in small packets so one packet can be removed quickly without disturbing the unused pollen. ... Write the species name and date stored on both sides of the packet so you can tell later on how old the pollen is.
Once I cap the vial, I place it in the refrigerator for two days. I do not place it directly in the freezer because the pollen's moisture content is too high; water expansion can rupture the pollen and render it inviable. Once the pollen has been in the vial for at least two days, and as long as the paper packet has had enough breathable area, moisture content will be reduced enough for you to put the vial in the freezer.
Once the vial is in the freezer, the pollen should be good for years. I have found that pollen will stay very fresh for at least three years. I know one person who used pollen that had been stored for six years and got a good seed set. I have been told that if pollen were to be stored in liquid nitrogen, it would stay viable forever. Of course this method is not practical for most people. If you collect pollen on separate occasions, but eventually want to keep the pollen in the same container, it is best to store the newer pollen in a different vial and go through the same process in the refrigerator. Once the new pollen is desiccated, the newer packets can be quickly placed in the original container.
When removing packets for use, it is important to minimize the time that the vial is open because the pollen and packets can reabsorb moisture. This is another reason to use several packets instead of removing a small amount of pollen each time from one larger packet. Once you remove a packet, use the pollen as soon as possible.
Pollen loses viability quickly at room temperature and even faster at higher temperatures. Pollen can stay viable at room temperature for several days, but I attempt to maximize its viability so that more good seed is produced in the long run. Just because an entire cone is pollinated does not mean all of the seeds will germinate. Quality of the pollen has a great deal to do with how many seeds in each cone are viable. Another reason to keep moisture content low in pollen is to lessen the chance for fungus to grow on and kill the pollen.
When I send pollen to someone who lives far away, I send it in a vial containing desiccant. This will keep the viability high. If the shipping time will be longer than one week, I add a cold pack to the box, which seems to help. I have been thinking about making a shipping container that would have two compartments. The inner middle compartment could hold the vial, and the outside compartment could hold ice to keep the vial cooler while shipping. If dry ice were used in the outer compartment, pollen most likely could be shipped anywhere in the world without loss of viability.
I hope this information helps everyone store pollen correctly to insure its viability. This is especially important for those who are mailing pollen to others. More and more people are propagating cycads every day, and they are also coordinating their efforts with others by sending pollen to people who do not have male plants. I hope this article will help everyone produce more seeds and, eventually, more cycad.

Started all these from seed, my goal is a perpertual grow. 8 Dog BX1 (Feminized) rest are Shouthern Charm, and CJ ....kinda all mixed in, party cups are marked.
This is my beginning
Ill be transplanting into 1/2 or whole gallon pots soon. I think they are outgrowing their Party Cup. under a Lumatek 600 watt Super lumen Bulb and Lumatek dimmable Ballast, Hydro farm 6inch air cooled hood ..... still getting material together P.S. If you look closely, That is a Attic Door Theres also a vent or (fresh air & Humitity) vent in the attic, that is where these plants maintain their humitity and freash air while being trapped in a 2.5x4 foot closet under a massive 600+ watt system (if i choose to give it Extra Lumens) while in the bedroom itself i have it shut off with a a/c in the window that keeps the air cool under the Light which i can control with ease, so i have the humitity and temp in check, (and prolly can throout the flowering stage with no venting) sept for the ODOR, these bitches already smell and their not even a foot tall LOL, but just incase i do have a 6inch carbon filter thats not setup yet, no need at this point. Going to c how this goes first.
