Hey lead, hope all is well w/ u man, updates? I just lost my herijuana mom's due to a buddy turning off my fans in my temp veg room, so I'll just have to watch your herijuana's grow nice and dank. I managed to save my Chemdog D mom though.

hey lead, things are looking great for the next round to come. I also have a Chemdog D/herojuana(not sure it's motarebel) that was supposed to go in next round but I've been neglecting em a bit, they need a bit more TLC. I'm digging the worms you got man, I'm actually trying to build up my army of worms also to help me w/ ACT and also my newest/latest project, I think I'm going to finally start setting up some aquaponics!! btw man, what do you think of those solistek ballasts? I really like the designs on them but don't know anyone that owns them. I wanted one of the non remoted dimmable ones.

Thanks for stoppin by, lovin the ballasts so far.

Kinda bummed, Herijuana was male so they got the chop. Guess was not my time for herijuana. Got Sannies herijuana so hopefully will get a girl in those. Positive part is more space for the harlequin's.

Pic update from day 8 of flower.

My compost is super fuzzy and ready. Will post more pics of the results later. Check out the Vortex Compost Tea Brewer I built, lookin forward to the results under the scope.

Love the labels on the photos. I'll start adding those. Nice work on the vortex. I was happy to rig some airstones and a 5 gallon bucket. The day 8 harlequin is gorgeous. What is that 8 days from?

Thanks outwest, 8 days of 12/12. a.k.a. Week 2, day 1 of flower.

That vortex brewer looks badass! Of course the girls are looking great too...

El Cerebro · Apr 2, 2012

dude, does that thing have an all-glass vapor path? awesome.

those harlequin sure have an unusual expression..

TrichromeFan · Apr 2, 2012

I agree, that vortex brewer looks pretty sweet. I bet you made a lot of bongs back in your early years....

Medijuana · Apr 2, 2012

If you built that brewer yourself, are you willing to provide us build and equipment specs? My setup looks primitive in comparison, just a bubbler in a 5 gallon bucket. :(

cemchris · Apr 2, 2012

Hell yea lead. Always enjoy your posts. Tea brewer looks good.

Nice work leadsled!
Those girls are the picture of health.
Properly brewed ACT kicks ass :)

Hey Waayne! Glad you stopped in. Thanks alot! missed the quote button on the 1st run.

Shady said:

Thanks shady, you are too kind. My girls are not picture perfect but still look like they will pull through. Gotta figure how to post up a secure video of it in action.

Thanks El Cererbro, you crack me up. No glass would been super expensive and then I would break it! lol.

You got a good eye. The harley's have has some light stress, some leaves got bleached when I stuck em under the 1k MH. I want them to stretch more so put the hpd above them, little more sensitive to the 1k hps than the others. Got the Chemdog D and cherry pie under MH and harley/cookies under hps currently.

yes, happy to do a detailed DIY. Give me some time and will do a different thread, I can take it apart and get measurements. I had to do some cutting and fitting to get it right.
.
The original plans are online but not super detailed as far as what size to cut pipes etc. DirkD posted his brewer on here,not sure if the thread is still here or not. This one Cost me about 200.00 with pump. I used a 6 gallon carboy from the home brewing shop. Amazing how hard it is to find a 5 gallon water bottle without a handle!

bigcheese510 · Apr 2, 2012

plants are looking amazing. love the uniformity in the canopy . have you ran the cookies cut before? theres always a big buzz around it and not to sure if ive ever smoked the real deal cuz a lot of people say they have it but dont. looking forward to seeing all your ladis flowered out. good luck this run.

cheese

kushtrees · Apr 3, 2012

I would LOVE a diy tutorial on that brewer looks bad ass. How do you like the omirita rx and harlequin, been considering trying these for awhile, high cbd has always interested me. Jealous about ur cookies man such a great strain.

plants look amazing best of luck

Thanks, Real Deal is around. That MCU ATF is what I am jonesing for though.

Flowers are around but they sell out FAST. Was some on the top shelf last week. Was gone in about 4-6 hours.

Will do, I took pics and measurements of the brewer. Will post it up when I got time. I do like the harlequin and omrita.
I got a few more strains still need to test for cbd, hoping I get some more high CBD phenos. Will share the results as I get em.

Currently, I am way more excited about double jack than cookies. High cbd with flavor and bag appeal.

Thanks for stopping by.
