Ness, treat your rose like your pot. They will take the same food and the same water really deep and then let dry. Water in the morning so there is no moisture on the to make mold. Keep the leaves dry where you live. You may get black spot from too much moisture, but they will just drop their leaves but not die. I saw on your pot it is a knock out rose, they are very easy. Enjoy it.

Morning Stoners. I just realized my morning is everyone elses afternoon. Since I flower at night and live alone, my nites and days tend to get mixed up. I re-potted a few mozzarella into 5 gallon pots. Once I get some size on 'em I'll flip 'em. Got some bad news today. Amazon says the press I ordered is sold out. Last time the told me I had to wait it wound up being a refund. Not happy about that.

Hey Nick !-- It still needs to be modified but for $125 I can make it work when I need it !-- Baseball cap heat transfer press !-- It has a timer -heat controller and one curved heat plate --- If I keep the curved one I'll need to rebuild that hard red rubber pad and replace it with something that got no give! --
I might just order me 2 flat heat plates -- The flaws are that the pressure lever pivot point need to be reenforced -- I'm use a bar clamp to take the pressure off it !-- 2 flat heat plates and it'll do for now!

 

[Keef]

What's up with that link to that story about Hamilton's wife the other day ?-- That came outta left field -- I get confused easy did I miss something ?--
Just made me an afternoon cup of coffee and filled the pipe !-- Man on a mission !
Looks like we got rain moving in !-- Maybe no fires in the dunes !-- Time to do your duty !-- Weed ain't smoking itself !

 

[Keef]

Gloman -- I can tell U what Fruit Cocktail wine post to taste like !-- I can work with this !-- Just finished scooping off the fruit solids -- Took a taste !- Not bad at all !-- Removed the solids -- added another cup of sugar and some water !- See how how high an alcohol content them yeast will give me before it kills them !-- I also think the Cherry gonna be outstanding with some age - It's cooking in secondary fermentation -- Blueberry Merlot just about where I want it !-- Fruit cocktail wine?-- Who woulda ever thunk such a thing ?-- The yeast eat sugar they don't care where it come from !- The alcohol dissolve the terepenes obsorbing the smell and taste of the Fruit !--
Been high all day and I'm O.K. with that !-- Happy Independence Day !

 

[umbra]

Keef, you asked about the perry the other day. I go to an orchard nearby and they will squeeze me some fresh juice. It is the only way I know to get it without preservatives.

 

[Keef]

Cool Umbra-- Add yeast and let in ferment or U cook it first ?-- I took a 5 lbs bag of apples and 5 lbs of sugar Chopped the Apples up put them in a bigass stock pot and cooked them soft -- Ran it thru the blender -- Put it in my 5 gallon fermenter --Let it cool and added yeast the next day !-- I got a good flavor but it give U indigestion !-- Never could figure out why !-- I've also fermented Apple pie filling !- With cinnamon!--

 

[umbra]

I cook it with sugar, cool it then add yeast

 

[Keef]

Cool !-- So now the Boom -Boom starts from the fireworks !-- Got my dogs in my lap -- They don't like it !-- I don't like it !- Makes me wanna shoot back !-- Better put some music on --loud !-- There goes Jet the 6 lb black and white that thinks he's a Bull Mastiff !-- The barking!-- I better get back in this pipe !

 

[Keef]

Ear plugs !-- It helps some !-- The problem I faced with that Apple Jack was I realized that the ethenol is not the only waste product of yeast !- Them little buggers also make methanol and acetates -- Removing 4 gallons outta 5 as water ice not only concentrate the ethenol but dat other sheet too !-- A cotton ball and charcoal layered funnel filter -- a Vacuum cleaner duct tape -- I think pulling it thru a charcoal filter will remove some those nasties?-- Find out soon !

 

[umbra]

I couldn't believe how much it cleaned up the ethanol extract I did.

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C.!-- It's still dark -- Been storming all night --
Another cup of coffee and a toke or 2 and I might live !
Wake and Bake !-- Let's do this day !-- I saw the Gloman lurking around earlier !- I know U up U old fool !

 

[thegloman]

Don't know much about acetatates other than the one I make for blasting caps, but with apple jack removing the peels first will reduce the methanol output. Not eliminate but greatly reduce.

I'm sad to announce I had to cut down my best BB King plant.
The one on the asparagus bed attracted the attention of a nosey small plane. He flew over my grow and circled 3 times. S.O.B.!
Oh well, next time he'll see it gone. Breaks my heart.

On another note, I been harvesting cabbage and broccolli this morning so I need to drop a bunch of it off at the rescue mission in Peoria.
I really do enjoy growing but can't use it all myself.

I hope there were no injuries last night. My church put on a fireworks show to rival the pro's.
It was Great!

 

[thegloman]

Hehe yup! I'm up. Can't sleep past 4am these days.
What up brother keef?
I'm done outside for the day now. It's a muggy son of a gun again today and supposed to get over 90. Sure could use some rain.
I was talking to my paper delivery girl today who says she has a peach and a plum tree in her yard. She was complaining about how messy they are so I told her I'd take a bunch of it for making liquor and wine.
I see a new still in my future!

Now for a bong!

 

[Keef]

What up G ?-- Still getting a little rain here -- Don't worry about those peels -- U cook it off the methanol and other nasties will come over in the head !--Throw it out and done !-- I do like the way U cook off the head and heart then run it again to remove the head !-- - Yep - Yeast make traces methenol acetone - It's in beer and wine naturally !-- It wouldn't hurt to reduce by freezing by half like I do but condensing it more than that makes getting the taste pretty hard to do !-- Did find out that heating it up to kill the yeast at the end also gets rid of some those nasties and improves taste !-- I put the gallon jugs in a water bath to heat it up !--
Another cup of coffee ?-- Toke or 2 ?

 

[Keef]

Gloman I'm sorry U had to chop that B.B. but better safe than sorry !-- U got to see how she'll grow for U outside ?
She'll work inside U just gotta bush it and flip it at maybe 18 inches tall !-- Be safer to just keep the grow inside if U can!

 

[thegloman]

I still have 1 in the greenhouse but this one was SO perfect.
I think this will be my last outdoor crop.
Time to start acquiring lights, pumps and the such.
Ill get about a years worth of stash from the greenhouse if all goes well so I have a little time.

 

[umbra]

Good morning OFC. My plum tree doesn't bear enough fruit to be making alcohol from it, lol. Dogs eat them when they fall from the tree. I try to get the yard free from fallen fruit. Keeps the bugs and pests at bay. Moles have been bad this year. They usually hang around my compost pile, since it generates so many worms, but they have been in the front yard in the flower beds and the dogs have been digging trenches chasing and hunting them.
Its been a lazy week with the holiday in the middle of the week. I do have a few things I need to accomplish today, but not in a hurry, lol.

 

[Keef]

It can wait Umbra ! -- My backyard is a wreck !- Weeds getting high needs to be mowed bad !-- I ain't dumb like I was when I was young -- The wind not blowing much- It's humid and bigass mosquitos waiting out there to take me down !-- It's over grown and needs lots of work ? -- To me the choice is go make it look nice-- Maybe get malaria-- zika -- bit all dahell up ? -- Or just stay in here -- get high and take a hit for being lazy !-- I can live with that !-- Where my pipe ?

 

[ness]

Good morning OFC. Got a busy day line up. Another cup of coffee and a few hits and outside for yard work.
