Thundercat's Groooooooow

So I finally got around to building a hydro cloner. I just finished the manifold, and I'm about to cut the holes in the lid. I decided on a 5 gallon bucket, its gonna have 18 sites, and a hole for the pump cord. I test ran the manifold in my bath tub, and it sure sprays everywhere. Seemed like a rather fine rainy/mist type of spray. I'm using the red sprayers. I'm not gonna put all my clones in it the first run, just incase, but I think it should work.

Yea,never put all ya eggs in one basket.Sounds like its gonna work fine tho, I have made one before.
I never used cubes just stuck the stem thru net pot and supported with those damn pebbles,I seem to find with my damn feet.......... ouch!

I'm using the foam collars to hold the stem, hopefully they work well. I hate stepping on the hydroton too Beech, it seems like it always happens when I'm least expecting it too.

I finally made it over to the glass shop today!! All my projects from last time survived, and turned out pretty nice. I played around a little today, and made another pendant real quick. Tons of fun! I have some pics once my wife gets them uploaded she has the phone.

I scraped a dish of oil this morning also. It was an A grade wash from the Sin's OG full plant run. The flavor is so intense, and it turned out really smooth I was very happy. It has a very orange color to it, and a shattery texture. All around its been a great day, hope you guys are having fun too.

Sounds tasty TC. I will do an extraction when I get
the place to myself. ...too dangerous to share BHO.

Them damn pebbles.........Grrr, have made me bust my ASS on more then one occasion.
Being 6' plus and over 200lbs does not help the fall either,I have took out a few rows
of plants before....

Thankfully they have never taken me down. Usually just make me curse a few times, and limp to a seat. I'm about the same size, so I agree it doesn't feel good to hit the ground.

OK I finally have the pics of my most recent glass work, and most recent qwiso extract !!!!

First the glass because I've been so excited about it. This was the 3rd dabber I've made, and about the 4th marble. I made the mushroom first, then added it to the whole piece.


Heres the other end where you can see some more of the color, and the inside of the spiral.


Now some qwiso. Its not an awesome picture, but it sure dabs nice . This is the A grade wash from a Sin's OG full plant run I did the other day. It ended up having a very orange color to it, and it tastes just like the nugs smelled.

Love the mushroom!

Thanks buddy. They've been getting better each time I push one into the glass. I made one the other day that I pushed into a lego shaped pendant, which turned out pretty cool. I wanna start playing with using multiple colors for them to give them more life and depth.

I like this one TC, looks like a bumble bee color bet it pops ya alos like the bee,Your getting good @ it!

Thanks man!! I will have to do an all yellow and black one. I bet that would look good.

Did you intend to do the botttom 3 lines bigger?

Yeah, the line width was based on how I twisted it all up, and I twisted the top more and the shaft less to give some variation to the way the colors look. I actually gave it to a buddy of mine yesterday, and he flipped. He loved it, and thought the mushroom was super cool. Its one of thee first things I"ve given to anyone other them my parents or my wife and daughter.

I'm jealous now! lol J/K.
Lovely WERK!

Maybe eventually I can set up an etsy shop or something so any of you guys that want to can get some glass. Its gonna be a while before I'm good enough for that, and I need to get my own studio before I think about production.

I'd be in line for that

Good to know !

I worked on another today. I only had an hour today, so I didn't get it done, but I made this one black and yellow with a silver sparkle line in it. We'll see how it turns out in the end but so far so good.

I got a B-day in Nov....heheeh
I dont get why this place does not have a gift shop.....seems like it WOULD make money....Thoughts?

I would think so. I would prolly buy some sort of RIU gear if it existed. I'm sure they would make some money selling tshirts, hoodies, and hats like attitude and all the various other companies. Maybe hook up with Seedless clothing.

Birthday in November huh...... I'll see what I can do buddy .

So I took another 18 clones last night, 6 Blue OG, 6 Ultra sour, and 6 C99s. Its been a couple months since I've ran any Cindy so I thought it was time. I also managed to mess up my cloner bucket lid. I apparently bought the wrong size hole saw so I gotta go get another lid, and saw and do it again. I thought it was supposed to be 2 inch, but apparently 1 7/8 will work much better, no biggy. The rest of it is all done and ready.

I've got a dish of oil to scrape today, and I think I might take a bike ride. I finally got my tires fixed and its been fun getting out and riding.
