You just gonna break into Mama's gift wrapping paper and roll the whole thing?The clones are by a window so mostly natural light, but they are also close to my seedlings which get natural and a T5. All clones are starting to show roots.This is my next project…
Wow! That is …Sometimes I show stupid shit I've done that seems to work... pretty sure most of you have seen this... this one is about my sifter.
It's just a platform to allow the screen to be vigorously shaken to remove trichomes. It uses a robust masager to shake the screen, but anything the vibrates (finishing sander, concrete vibrator, etc) or reciprocates (Sawzall, jig saw, etc.) Should work as long as the travel is sufficient. The screen is a fairly open 150 mesh. It's made of plywood, springs, and hardware. It works well, but its too big to put away properly, hence the new big ass shelf.
Here's some shots of what it can do.

If I did it again, I'd buy an existing screen for a rotary sifter and put a motor on it. I may actually just buy one. They're stupid expensive, but a much smaller footprint, and they usually have timed cycles which would be nice. This one does ok, its loud, and very labor intensive, but it was just a prototype, and served this function well.
Here's a video.
I’d like to squish it all in a press. Lol. In my location, all I need to do is keep a pitcher of water in the tent for drying. It stays around 56% humidity.You just gonna break into Mama's gift wrapping paper and roll the whole thing?
You could buy yourself a heater plate cage then buy a cheap ass hydraulic press from Harbor freight and go no frills. Let's face it, the hard part is the heater plates, but there are tons online you can get for cheap.I’d like to squish it all in a press. Lol.

I have a small air king fan. No issues with it so far. Fan placement in the tent was tricky for me at first. Parts of my plants would get wind burned if not placed in just the right spot.Good morning. Happy Saturday!
I bought a couple fans, only 1 of which has shown up so far. I got sick of cheesy fans dieing on me so I bought them from Air King. I'll tell you more about it in the video.
The humidity is a bit high. Tut is pretty good for mold resistance from what I understand, but theres just so much mass in the canopy on the plant on the left. These new fans will help keep the pathogens at bay... we'll see
You can tell by looking at the seeds?! Man that's quite a talent. That's cool, free is always good. Congratulations!Won some Purple Frost Giant beans from a drawing on WTTGT. I’ll get these started today. From my initial inspection looks like 3 females and 2 males.

It can be a bitch. I've tried many different kinds of fans with many locations. I even took apart a fan, removing the fan blades and fan guard then taped a duct to the motor which was connected to an inline fan.I have a small air king fan. No issues with it so far.

Female seeds are almost perfectly round on one end. Male seeds are more irregular and pointy. I would take a photo but already put them in their cubes to germinate.You can tell by looking at the seeds?! Man that's quite a talent. That's cool, free is always good. Congratulations!
I see. I hope it works outFemale seeds are almost perfectly round on one end. Male seeds are more irregular and pointy. I would take a photo but already put them in their cubes to germinate.

My shaker thingy died while sifting the last of the Wembley, so I ended up doing it manually. Still, not a bad haul for the aged bud. I didn't weigh it but it was probably 3-3.5 ounces. I didn't weigh the dust.Sometimes I show stupid shit I've done that seems to work... pretty sure most of you have seen this... this one is about my sifter.
