    20 Ton Rosin

    I've read all 9 pages and want to thank you for the documentation and pictures, awesome thread. I have one question, if you can press pucks and squish those, is there a reason I couldn't press my trim and sugar leaves? I use a spin pro to prep buds and it knocks quite a lot of trichomes and...

    14 plants, 11x12 room,.. how much light?

    if there is a tipping point (which I've never really heard of in MI) it is going to vary by jurisdiction and/or utility company. If you are "legal" I wouldn't sweat it. If you are in a "legal" state I wouldn't sweat it much.

    New system. Will it work????

    I've been considering the same type of "dry root" setup. I'm thinking it should work, if the pump comes on for 30 min every 30 it will be on all the time? Did you mean it comes on every hour for 30 minutes?

    setting up a new med room Feedback from every aspect would be grrreat

    My Q for you is about cooling. I'm in also MI have have been growing since 2008. Sure in Jan/Feb you won't have a problem but you will in Mar-Dec, maybe year round. Where is the cool fall air coming in from? where are you exhausting? at what CFM? 2 x 1,000W will heat the hell out of an...

    Long veg period Larges plants Aeroponic or Bubbleponic or NFT preferences

    I've begun to enjoy the fruits of a longer hydroponic Veg period. It seemed that many growers are (were) interested in minimizing the grow cycle, but for legal reasons (plant count laws) I'm inclined to use fewer, older and larger plants and a wider canopy. I'm about 4 yrs into hydro and have...

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    Thanks, I am going to use your 2L bottle quick wash with a new batch (hopefully tonight).... Are you thinking the oil will float and I can then cool the mixture then take the top layer of oil off the water? will the clorophyll sink?

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    I have Hexane 12 oz, and Acetone 8oz I thought about buying a distiller to recap the Hexane? What other equipment?

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    I agree, and will use your method, oh wise one. Second promotion in 3 posts - I read it last time. However, I am asking as I would like to: a) learn more about filtering and dewaxing anyway b) see if I can salvage something with what is actually a "second wash" with a lot of ISO rinsing. The...

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    I know it is cholorphyll, is there a way to remove it?

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    I really don't want to lose the terpenoids (aroma). I don't think there is "much" wax but wondered if I skipped that step and simply ran it through the charcoal? I really only wanted to lose the dark color. It is pretty near full melt as it is. Also could I use ISO vs. EtOH vs. Acetone for...

    QWISO De-Waxing and Charcoal

    I made a pretty tasty QWISO hash with 99% ISO, it's pretty damn good... BUT it is very dark in color (brown/green). I've been reading about de-waxing with Acetone https://mycotopia.net/forums/holding-tank/63232-bho-butane-honey-oil.html#post832562 And the "next step" advised there to use a...

    HPS bulbs melting

    I could have been wrong but I sensed a bit of condescension? Anyway I start there to provide a real update....I had suspected that I may have over tightened the bulbs in my overzealous eagerness as I set up probably too quickly. I didn't want to lead the crowd here as I sort of hoped someone...

    HPS bulbs melting

    No children, but I'm a bit concerned about your support of euthanasia There are 3 smoke alarms and a CO alarm in the basement and more on the living floors, I had similar concerns upon seeing the first meltdown. But the Raptor hoods are significant and have contained everything easily.

    Yes all the ballasts are identical, in fact I had a 600W ballast from the same mfr -Welthink, and it was about 4" shorter didn't fit the joists ;)

    DIY REZ COOLER from a $30 craigslist freezer

    not bad at all, reminds me of my homebrewing days, we needed to chill gallons of hot wort ASAP to pitch the yeast, then months later cool lukewarm keg beer. Great stoner assembly BUT buy 12 ft of copper tubing, you'll see huge efficiency gains if you can get 12 twists in that bucket, fill it...

    HPS bulbs melting

    Good guess - but the ballasts are supposed to be self switching, nothing for me to change/move/switch

    HPS bulbs melting

    a single 8" inline duct fan... no kinks, exhaust is clear, all 8" flex ducting in one window and out another.... The room is quite large and didn't seem to get "too hot" even before I got the A/C working (sadly about 2 weeks after moving in), in room temps during that time didn't get much above...

    HPS bulbs melting

    I"ve had 3 (of 8) 1000W HPS bulbs melt in the first 6 weeks with this setup. The glass gets so hot one melted a hole in it, another sort of melted right off the base. The third may have simply blown as there were floating bits inside it From the box - 40A Double Pole service run...
