the density of those trichomes is astounding. really fuckin impressive man.

i need to get a bluelab...

These ones are almost 7 years old. The ones before that were older than that. Only ever owned 2 sets of pens and a truncheon in 20+ years of gardening. Taken care of they last a long time. Gotta hang them upright and keep actual storage solution in the ph pen cap, and clean the ppm electrodes with glass stove top cleaner once every couple weeks.

 

[tobh]

to you, sir. cheers

disregard my shit paint job in that corner cut. i was never allowed to do cut-ins when i did contracting. hands too shaky.

 

[Dirtbag]

to you, sir. cheers

lol nah making a reference to a pick. i'm a guitar player myself, and actually started on something similar to what OD builds. Remember the flat tone and absolute lack of resonance my first guitar had. i just think those cigar boxes are comparable to such quality tones.

I play also. A friend built one and it had a great sound. He built it to be plugged in.

fuck... this harkens back to much simpler times. days of ska and skateboards, fights that led to blunts and decade long friendships. adulthood complicate shit worse than governments.

i make a huge mess if its in the cap, so i put it in a cup and put the ph pen in there. what do you do for ec pen?

Nice reliable pens, sounds like, heard nothing but good things about bluelab

lol dude there's a sponge in the cap. two or three drops is adequate.

ec pen electrodes should be dried off after each use.

Something I like to do in my threads is dump progression pics, in this case it's roughly weekly updates, near enough. I didn't look at the dates. But it gives you a good idea of how they came along from the beginning under t5 up to full blast flower lighting.

Playing the plants some RAA right now. This album is just winter feel for me. I must be going mad because I'm kinda missing the snow hahaha

@tobh dig this guy. Not sure if you heard of him but he was a Vancouver island dude that drifted around here for a bit. Unreal musician, and total street kid. Died a couple months ago on the streets in Edmonton of a presumed OD.
Unreal though. Hes got the feels.
This was from a backyard bonfire here on Vancouver island.

this is what i started on. had the black version.

thing had been soaked in water and the neck was more warped than a wet noodle. the nut at the head disintegrated, and was replaced with a carefully cut piece of mouse trap. fuckin rocked the life out of it though man... more of my fingers blood ended up on that guitar than the ibanez rg SRV series I bought when i got a little cash. wish i still that that guitar. lost it in a house fire, only found the charred body after all was said an done. motivation to play went up in that fire.

tell ya what though. starting on literal trash and moving to a precision machine with a floyd rose bridge, shark tooth fret markers, and play so short you could breathe and hit a cord was the real lesson. once upon a time i could play. don't do it nearly as often as i should now though and have lost a lot of great songs as a result.

i'm pretty sure i met this cat back when i was running with the graffiti crews and hobos. pre-kids. ended up at a party where someone that looked uncannily like this cat was playing and singing louder than fuck while my brother awok and i were out doing our thing. if he rode trains, i'm sure him and i crossed paths at some point. bygone era of a time that looking back was simpler, when back then it felt like utter chaos. things were one track back then.

Works amazing. Mild abrasive removes any film, put a little dab on a paper towel and rub the electrodes until you see the paper towel start going black. Rinse.. done. I use this stuff literally biweekly. Keeps readings accurate.

times like this.. we called these days church.

I wouldn't be surprised man. He was a train hopper. The way he sings that tune though just hits me. All about the love affair with beer.
