Winches for the win!!! Is there anything better in a grow room when you cant reach a light to raise so the solution is hit a button on a remote to raise that light? IDK how I grew without them!
Hoop house is looking on point and good as new buddy!
Good to read about the loved ones making it out healthy. Getting sick sucks so much and when my wife gets sick there's nothing I wouldn't give to take the sickness away from her and let me deal with it.
I've been jabbed with the Phizer vax too. Got the second shot early February and other than a sore arm and achy flu like symptoms the day after have been feeling fight a bear good. When I was in the Army we got ever vax there was to get so since then taking a jab is no biggie.
Yeah GPS's newer lines of fem seeds are legit Man. I've got more Purple Crash, a pack each of Banana Fruit Cake and Sundae Batter in the que. I also found two unopened packs of Texas Butter in a box I keep odds and ends in I forgot about but am thinking of going all fem this grow. Gonna be weird not seeing any dudes in there for the first time in over a decade! And yeah those 40% off deals are steals man.
Yeah that's my RO water delivery in action! Not just RO though. I'm also using a chlorashield for chloramines my city uses, a deionizer filter, and in the barrel today I'm taking a page from your book and installing a UV sterilizer. I've gone full tilt Bobby Boucher with my water now

My electric smoker took a crap on me. Well really I killed it. I thought it would be a good idea to use my harbor freight flame thrower to burn off the creosote build up but turned out to be a horrible idea and I ended up pretty much nuking the poor thing. I almost bought another but they're way more expensive now so I shopped around. Inspired by DJ I started looking at auto feed and pellet grills and got in too deep. I found one at Costco, has good reviews, and pulled the trigger on it. Unfortunately the bastards electronics were defective out of the box. I'm on the brink of taking it back but gave the company a chance and they sent me a new mother board to install. Should here late this week so maybe the new grill will be working by Sunday. Needless to say I have my doubts about this endeavor so it better impress or it's going back and I'll never consider a pellet grill ever again
I have some food porn to share
Ever hear of cooking with a Sous Vide? Or as I like to call it, a meat jacuzzi
I use it for steaks, chops, and poached eggs but almost any food can be cooked in it.
It's basically a large tub of water, a digital immersion heater, and you vacuum seal your meat. You set the heater to a temp, say 130 for medium rare steaks. The meat bags go in the water fully submerged and stay in there for about 2.5 hours. When finished they'll be cooked to perfection but will be all ugly so you gotta sear them in a screaming hot skillet for a minute or two per side.
I went all in one this with a nice sous vide heater & tub, a rack to stack meat bags, and some hi end cast iron from Smithey Ironwear.

meat bag before it goes in the jacuuzi. I add aromatic herbs and butter to the bags. For chops I use a jerk seasoning and they're the best chops ever
