Club 600

I have done it before using butane and a blasting tube. Was just wanting to be on the same page as everyone else with your nail and dome conversation


EDIT: @ Giggles - Very nice looking plants! It looks like you have some good space to work with in there too.

I am yet to be trying in march the butane way just collecting the bits together now

Just make sure you're safe. Don't blow anything up.

Ii seen a way where they aren't using a stove just a tub of warm water big enough to hold my dish im.spraying the wax into, to help evaporate the butane.... should be no danger with no flames plus be out in the yard

I see. I didn't care for it so much. The high was almost disabling for me except for that one time at Jig's place. I just took a small dab and was pretty high for a while but it wasn't too much. Good thing too because I rode my motorcycle to his place that time. There's no way I'd ride that bike high on BHO, it's too powerful to fekk around on like that.

cool man.... read about too many people doing it inside with a stove or oven, just not worth the risk in my eyes. Be sure to wear a glove or something to hold the tube, it gets real cold like.

Thanks dez, how you been bro.

and yes some very good space to work with

Oh and bud make sure you get that shit purged, evap will never get it completely out. You can build a vacuum for next to nothing. Also a warm bath is safe is your careful, just make sure you don't get it to warm. I usually just place some cheese cloth over mine and place a fan blowing over it for 24 hours and then purge.

I bring water to a slow boil, put it in a tupperware, take it outside, place my pyrex in the tub and blast my 'tane. Works great!

I also put a small splash of that boiling water IN the pyrex before blasting

(I 4got to mention that it has been barely over 0°F, and that if your out door temps are warmer, u may want to not use boiling water, only warm... 100°ish

Other tips I got is make sure the stuff is broken up good. I left a run too clumpy and the yield suffered. Also pack it in the tube pretty good. Not crazy, just a good pack.

And do all you can to get all the tane out. If you don't you will definitely taste it and it would sully the first experience.

So ive had great result's digging my old DOG back from the seed's it put out. I had a few different nameless baggies and wasn't 100% which were the right one's but knew it was there somewhere, so ive took 1 from one lot and another from what i think is the original pip's from the maiden DOG. ( not the odd seed i collected out every other plant ), I knew i had 1 Deff. And now got two ! with another 3 seedling's going lol, think that'll do.
When i grew them before just for kicks i got great plant's that didn't seed so hopefully im good with these.
Excuse the pics, the smaller one also has been grown under a very poor light...( not by myself )

My Casey Jones, SLH and Psycosis are all doing great under the new cfl, smelly already !

i need to learn how to make wax and oil, so i will understand just what the hell is going on around here. my only experience is with bubble bags.

need to learn about washing with everclear too.. all of the oil/butter based edibles i have had before get me feelin a little loose, slightly fuzzy feeling, but man i had a peanut butter cup a couple of months ago that had been made with the everclear wash method, and holy shit!
a couple of hours later i woke up with terrible sunburn at some pool a couple of blocks away, and then proceeded to jump in the pool with my phone still in pocket. hadn't been that blasted in years..

This thread has definitely not lost any steam.

I've noticed that some of you are making the switch to LED's. This is interesting me very much. I'm currently in a utilities included in rent situation and I need to up my stealth, among other things. I'm hearing things about chipsets and such, that one should look for. I'm coming to the place that always has the best answers. I know it's probably been talked about lots lately but , what say ye?

The LED's I used were great. Growevolution budboss 151 x 3. I got not much less g/w yield vs. HID. My electricity bill dropped about $70 a month. I had gone from using a 435 cfm fan running all the time, to using a 50 cfm fan. 1000w hps vs 450w led. That 450w got me 6 oz on my first run. I think I can do better this run.

The plants were by far the most healthy I've ever grown in my now 5 years of growing. They had lovely green leaves at harvest. And the buds are amazing quality. They are small, but amazing. Best taste I've ever done BY FAR. Very resinous, and really strong smoke. Too strong for me, I'm going to have to get rid of my whole harvest, I just can't enjoy it.

I don't think it makes sense for commercial growers, but for anyone growing personal stash, or mostly personal I would go LED all day, every day.

And without question the LED's veg like a beast. Hands down better than HID (in my head). Flower they do alright, but veg is just INSANE.

They are pricey, but with the electical savings I think I have to run for 14 months before the lights pay for themselves. The life on them is supposed to be forever long. I like them.

Speaking of lighting...

When I was in my self-imposed exile last week I was adjusting my light's height and checking on the plants.
After a minute I notice this burning smell, almost burning electrical smell in the tent.
So I look at the light and see smoke rolling up the side of the glass.
I run over the the outlet and unplug it.
Had to leave the light alone for a while to cool, and thought the bulb fried prematurely (only has about 2 months of 12/12 on it),
So I let it cool off and bring all the little ones inside the house and put them under the FL array:




(back in the corner is where we buried Katie)


So, after the bulb is cool I take it out to inspect it and see what happened.
I then see this nasty looking blood-colored smear on the bulb where the smoke was coming from and thought some huge ass spider or insect went into the light:




But, it turned out to be the rope I was using to center the light in the vert scrog:



So I scraped it all off, cleaned up the bulb, and got it back in action:






So I didn't have to buy a new bulb.

Very clear and concise run down on LED. Thanks for taking the time to explain jig.
I'm sticking with my 600hps, but thinking about LED for summer growing.

Doobie, glad it worked out. First you had me thinking you smashed some plants then I thought there was a serious injury!
All's well that ends well... sweet setup man!

Thanks, Cas
I didn't know what the heck was going on when it started smoking. But it's no fun standing next to a smoking 800c bulb that appears to be going nuclear in the confines of a 4x4 tent
This just re-enforces the point that I need to invest in a few automatic fire extinguishers to hang around in the garage and in the tent.

Hey Duchie great to see you back around brotha!


Doobs that wild, so it dripped on there from you melting the ends? Good thing you were around, glad it turned out fine.


Damn 3 pages since last night started a multi reply but soon became aware it would be a mess lol.
