Eh mines nothing special, some cardboard and tape. Most of the ones I've seen other build are much nicer.

pics or it didn't happen guys..... lol
hope everyone is having a delightful stoney day. Its snowing like crazy here so we are just hanging out watching stuff online and eating food

I really have way too many strains going. Its gonna be extremely hard to decide on just a handful to keep around for awhile. I don't want to keep doing these seed runs as my system is much more inclined towards uniform clone SOG. Few more months and I should have some good staples to keep around and then I can start toying with the "SIN-D99" and growing some of those out.

that is always a bitch which to keep and what to pop

Yep, several of the very tasty plants I've got are not big yeilders, so I am hoping one of the new strains fills that roll. If I find something that yields well and tastes decent I'll be happier keeping a couple more for conneseur stash.

1st bought seed AK-47,Vegged under said light,Flower under the 400.

The best plants for whatever reason are small yeilders..the best taste high.I always wondered why that was?It seems to me if you pop ten beans the smallest female is also the most potent and taste.
Good looking AK.It was one of my first plants i grew also.I liked how it grew but the kush berry it was sitting next to kicked its ass.
I grew the white russian and the cronic at the same time.The cronic was junk.The white russian was really nice though.I think the best one out of those three strains.

Juicy Fruit, is one of my all time FAVS.With the Blueberry a close second.
HMM,Max to this day that AK-47 was in the top 10
of the Strongest highs Ive ever had!!
Had my Buddy doing 45mph on the Interstate,asking me why everyone was doing 100mph.
Beech
ps.TC,hope you and Fam are making it thru the storm OK.....

The AK was a great plant.The white russian would rip you back and had a much better taste to it.More resin production also.
I think it would have rated better had i not grown some kush berry from DNA next to it.it was straight fire.No one who ever smoked it had anything to do with the AK after that one.
I didnt get the cherry pheno that might have been a different game then.
Ive heard say you have to pop like 100 beans to find a cherry pheno.

Man the AK has been on my list for along time. They are just pricey seeds. I've had some great plants from cheap and free seeds, so I have a hard time dropping so much.
The cold sucks for sure, but thankfully my heat is working well and the house is nice and warm. We knew the storm was coming so we had stocked up on some food and drinks for a few days. So we can just hang out and do stuff around here. The wife has been sick all week, so its cool to be able to just chill. From what i can tell my heater in my room is doing an ok job of keeping it warm. All the girls looked happy last night when I went down. I've got about 2.5g of various types of qwiso in a ramakin in the crock pot warming with some Eliquid for my pen, and a dish I need to scrape tomorrow which should have a nice batch of oil in it. It started out as about 1.5 quarts of A grade solution. So trying to stay busy to pass the time.

I am originally from Texas . I was born in Aransas Pass Texas near corpus.I live in Indiana now.
The guy i work with has a strong back ground in air flow,sheet metal engineering.Excellent at geometry.
I have a strong back ground in mechanical and electrical engineering.
I am a certified master electrician and senior mechanic.Just so you know a little bit about my back ground.I think similar to beech's back ground.I am almost tech illiterate though.
The hoods we are making out of ORCA film have had the angles researched for proper light reflection.They are 5 ft square and around 2.5 to 3 ft tall.
The square is made out of half inch electrical conduit.
From one corner to the other a fiber glass grade marking stake.You can find them at lowes for a couple of bucks each.You can also use fiber glass tent poles.
A 18 inch or 2 ft square polished stainless steel plate is mounted and suspended from the crossed fiber glass stakes with eye bolts around the fiber glass stakes taped into place or wired into place.I prefer the tape at this time though.Cross sectioning is also made from fiber glass stakes.
A hole is drilled into the center of the stainless plate to mount your horizontal bulb.
The orca is placed over the frame and mounted with orca tape to the frame.
There is a picture or was one of the frame without orca to give you a general idea on raiders thread.
These hoods are putting off way more reflection and light than any store bought hood.The orca film is better than even german dimple alum.
Two prototypes have been made so far for the hood.Both of them work outstandingly.The second one is more refined and looks better though.
Our next project is to design a prototype for the bloom room.
I have a idea of how to increase light output even over and above the lumen output of the bulbs.Intensifying the light actually.
Im still running it through my mind on how im going to accomplish it.Or if it will even work.I think it will or i wouldnt be contemplating it.
Another project im in the process of working on is building a good reliable flood and drain controller.
The ones you purchase from cap and other companys use the junkiest timers and float switch's money can buy.
The one i have is a water heater timer heavy duty with a SPDT switch to operate the floats.The floats im looking at are made of stainless steel.It should be pretty nice ill take some pics when i get around to building it soon.

Sooo anyone ever find sap has formed on a plant?
I was just checking on the girls and noticed what looked like a water droplet on the stem of a critical jack. I use my finger to wipe it off, and its VERY thick and sticky. I proceed to look above the plant to see if something could have dripped on it.... nope. So I look around that plant more and find about 5 more droplets on it. I gently removed them with my finger and check things out. The plant is ready to come down, but otherwise nothing wrong with it. I also didn't notice it on any of the other plants including the other 2 critical jacks that are the same age.
I brought it upstairs stil not sure what it was. My fingers smelled like the plant so I couldn't tell what this "gel" smelled like. I decided to try a melt test on it, and it bubbled, and kinda carmalized and burned. From that outcome I think it has to be some sort of sap like a maple tree, mostly just sugars and water. I've never seen anything like it on a cannabis plant though.
