Hmm…

I know! I almost didnt type that hahaha! I was too high to say “it works” LOL!

 

[BearWater]

Got the plants to be flipped, moved over yesterday. Couldn’t bring myself to flip them, as i have a few more hours of work to do in there this afternoon along with making sure what work I’ve been doing in there hasn’t created any light leaks from the veg into the flower. Along with mounting some fans from the HPS set up I got, the mounts come today. The space itself isn’t new but man does it feel different with 1000 watt light hanging high. I clicked it on to its first setting, literally a slight click, the thing is bright as hell! And the Phlizon Dadman kicked down just adds to how freaking bodacious this flower room is turning out! Im give a huge thank you to all that have helped in the ways you have!

The veg room is yet again going to get changed around LOL! Not sure why it’s so damned hard to make a space work out there? It’s getting there, HAHAHAHA! Didn’t even mean to say “it’s getting there” HAHAHAHAHA! See!? I need a sign that says that shit!

It was a water day and the frostettes were thirsty so dont mind them. They popped back up before after the water/feeding.

I gave the plants a half strength mix of mega 1 part and sweet candy : ) the pots have a nice dose of Gaia 4-4-4 and 4-8-2 in them but i dont think i timed that right so I want to make sure the plants dont get all mad at me during the stretch. part of today’s shed happenings is to fold some of the taller plants over (frostettes and t1000)

check out those critical peyotes! and a little branch bending action : ) i was proud of those trainings

That was the best I had on that one

All thats deserved my friend : ) im still working on my coffee but here it goes! I’ve only ever had the ceiling r etched. It was the first thing i did in the shed insulation wise. It makes every bit of difference in keeping the heat out and the cool in! From what I’ve noticed though is there are thresholds of optimal temps! Like between a certain outside temp the inside room was perfect, so that told me the insulation isn’t 100% but way better than nothing. Hope thats a little bit better explanation lol. Still not the greatest. Just didnt want you to think I was giving you a “i dont care response” HAHAHAHAHA! I was just really really high!

OK! Had to make due with what my local stores had (got the fox farm and worm castings from another town). this is the final medium mix as fallows:
~1 bag fox farm light warrior
~3/4 bag of worm castings
~10qts perlite
~8qts miracle grow seed starting potting mix (local store)

That added perlite and potting mix fixed the drainage and hydrophobic issue. Im 15 for 15 on the Raskals and have 1 XX showing a tap, so im very hopeful to get more of thone germinated to transplant into solo cups soon( hopefully with the next few days).

Room progress is slow (Uncle Sam said fuck you Mr bearwater) and I will be trying to piece equipment together as funds allow. SO!, with that said im entering the half glass full mentality and will push forward. Thanks for stopping by! View attachment 2113134

Hello BearWater! What are your ratios for this mix? what size bag light warrior and castings? Thanks

Hey you got that ratio : ) if you can I would just add some more perlite!

Got passed down some couple year old flower and want to wash it, like a tote full lol! Not all usable but most is. I’m going to freeze the iso and flower in the deep freezer. The only thing I’m thinking might be different is the shaking for 30 seconds. I’m thinking I should only shake for like 10 or 15 seconds because the buds are older. Any thoughts? I have a Pyrex dish management said I could use. Once the mix gets strained and squeezed into the dish I was going to just heat it up in the crock pot without the lid? Is that a bad idea or do I need more heat than that to burn the iso off? I know Gnick55 uses a hot plate for his boiling off the iso. Upper management thinks I should do a double boil like how you melt chocolate (she has zero ganja anything experience or knowledge) I’m wanting to get all the iso out and not blow myself or anyone up in the process. I have enough flower to play around with also, it’s just old and very “CBD’y”

Ooooooohhh Shit!!!! This is going to be interesting hahahahaaaa
I have never used a Crock-Pot, always cook outdoors and I always use a fan so the iso vapours never settle.
I would say a 20 second shake should be plenty and keep it top notch

 

[Oldchucky]

Are you gonna run it through coffee filters? Seems like lately he has just been pouring the filtered liquid into a 9 x 13 glass cake pan and letting it evaporate off! Then scraping it up!

I have an electric skillet I can use also. Upper management just thinks that the Pyrex shouldn’t go directly on the heat. But neither of us has done a qwiso

I was going too! This is some older stuff and quite a bit so I’m ok with keeping it top tier : )

Think I need the cheese cloth?

 

[BearWater]

I forgot to tag @jadins_journey this man makes some Exon Valdez type shizz!

Probably during the initial filtering to get most of the big shit out! It’s gonna take long enough to get through those filters even when it’s fairly clean! I would consult his thread on that making qwiso

I was wondering if you were shooting for the Exxon Valdez crude! Probably what you would get without the coffee filters!

 

[Greenadian]

Thats definitely a very easy way....especially if you dont mind the wait. I know some dudes who can kill an entire week just playing golf and smoking hash all WEEK

Is that titled qwiso or something the like? I remember seeing it and forgot about it until now! Hahaha! He heats the iso off and everything! Just can’t remember the thread name

I can’t golf anymore because my shoulder is all F’d up but I sure can smoke hash ill tell you what!

 

[Oldchucky]

Stumbled across this! But I think he has a more recent one!

 

[Oldchucky]

Also stumbled across this! Your moment of truth has arrived!
