That's funny dog this day and age you just never know She's always messing with me she tried to tell the post office my house doesn't exist but yet it's been here since 1953

 

[WeedHopper]

$10.00 Lids,,I remember well my friend,,and they were huge. We called them 4 finger bags. Damn now i do feel old.

 

[Keef]

Those were the days Hopper but U never knew what U was gonna get and there wasn't much choice !
Most didn't have scales so a lid was often one of those Prince Albert tobacco cans ( U know the flat looking pocket size can) stuffed full !-- I used to get kilos from a caboose railroad guy that made the trip on the train from Houston to the Mexican border several times a week !-- I'd break it down into 1/4 lbs !-- Then break the 1/4 lb down into 5 equal bags for my dealers !-- I tell them I want this much for these 4 and this one is yours if U get more than I want more power to U !-- When U bring me my money we'll do it again !-- Sometimes they would be back several times a night on the weekend !-- I should be ashamed cause one 1/4 lb would pay for my investment !-- Good Times !

Evening All.
Hope all is well. Potted up the little ones. Been doing lots of reading and thinking, I know I need at least one more spot to grow. I have been looking at cob led lights. Ebb and flow and this Aero thing.
And when I read kilo my mind goes ?????
And 10 dollar lids, Not for a long time.
Enough rambling for me.
Off for a Smoke

What Up WH ? -- It was a different time !--
Aero is a fantastic way to clone but growing this way is kinda hard until U Grok it !-- I think Giggy knows about Cobb LEDs -- I just use those middle of the road Mars Hydro 300 Reflector Series . -- I just kinda fell into aero !-- I got knats so I bought an aero cloner cut the tops off the plants an re-rooted them !-- I looked at the cloner and thought -- If that water had nutes in it I could just grow like this !-- It wasn't hard to copy it on a larger scale and fix some things I felt were wrong !-- Cost me a little less than $250 for a box light combo ! ( $50 for the box $200 for the light )-I'm in a prohibition state and gotta watch the power usage so LEDS are my only choice !--I got 8 big 35 gallon grow boxes and 3 smaller ones I use in my nursery / cloning station --One box --One light !-- I see good things happening in ebb and flow and DWC too !-- Dog and Kraven grow that way -- I think ? -- Umbra uses a soil less grow medium !-- All of them are water pharming !-- Getting the nutes right is the key !-- I'm still fumbling around but I'm getting better !-- In water pharming if U get it right it works great but when things go wrong they go wrong fast !-
However U decide to grow someone gonna know something about it !

When these plants are about 14-18 inches tall I plan to flip it all at one to instead of a few plants at a time !
Walk in closet with 6 LEDs ? -- I couldn't do this with hot lights !--

Can't wait to see how this one turns out Keef hopefully you got a zombie in there somewhere not to mention I know you've been on a crazy hunt for colours so this one should be good

 

[Keef]

Thanks Bud but the real purpose of this area will be to feed plants to my spare room I plan to set up as bloom when it gets a little closer to the end of prohibition !-- I got plans for as many as 20 of these in bloom !-- 4 groups of 5 -- I got a good 60 day finisher a group of 5 of these boxes will be ready to harvest every 2 weeks !-- 4-6 plants per box !-- I can get 1/4 pound per box on the low end -- The closer I get the nutes dialed in the higher the yield ! -- I am already above the low end and could double that one cycle soon !--Looking towards 500 grams per square meter and it is doable !

 

[Keef]

Umbra --Which one of those Rosin Presses did U get ?

 

[Kraven]

Morning Kraven !-- That the problem with distilling --People want to to just jar it up and move it !-- How hard is it to take a little time and make it the best U can !-- U cut it down to abut 100 proof ?--- I'm gonna need another case of bottle real soon !-- I got a gallon of Blackberry wine in the freezer --Almost forgot ! -- I get into one of those mason jars it would put me in jail for sure !-- Whiskey bumps U know ?

This hasn't been tempered down yet Keef, it's still around 180 proof. I usually shoot for around 110 proof, seems to be the sweet spot for me. Good for just sippin'

 

[Keef]

I ran across some nice wooden kegs when I was looking at wine supplies !-- Fairly cheap too !-- Soon as U send this out U could get to work filling up a keg for next year ?-- I don't know if the charred inside but that can be done !-- Aged for almost a year in a charred oak barrel ? -- Be sweet !

 

[umbra]

Umbra --Which one of those Rosin Presses did U get ?

No name, just a hydraulic setup off of ebay.

 

[Keef]

Thanks Umbra -- I been wanting to climb back on this Liquid Weed band wagon and I'm just not sure I can make an alcohol extraction clean enough !-- I hate to do it but looks like I might have to blast a little butane !-- Not excited about it but just can't see any other way without CO2 !-- Rosin tech.would be clean enough !
I need to make a clean enough extract to use in an outlaw e-cig liquid !--
OOPs !--
Just teasing !--I mean a legal THC e-cig liquid for when prohibition ends! -- That's my story and I'm sticking to it !

 

[umbra]

IMO the rosin tech is best when doing smaller batches of kief in 1 of the metal tea bags. I would say that doing an alcohol extract of the same kief would yield something similar in quality. But would require the other step(s) of winterizing/dewaxing and evaporation. I bought my set up for $450, bags were $10 for a pack.

 

[Kraven]

I'm keeping a close eye on ya Umbra, when you get close on temps and pressures will you share that please, if your feel inclined

 

[umbra]

Yes, no problem Kraven.

 

[Kraven]

Thank you, I know it's gonna vary from strain to strain, but a good general starting point would be nice. Hows the new job treating you, has it brought a bit of peace of mind to you yet ?

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C. !
Where's my pipe !

 

[umbra]

Yes I like the job. They are a California company so not much of the fortune 500 wackiness. Dress code is very relaxed. Most corporate meeting are scheduled after 10 am, so the CEO can surf in the morning. I like that all the corporate craziness has its place, but it doesn't rule everything. I have a tendency to be very driven, too much most times and I like being able to take a deep breath and relax. The radiology equipment is in high demand so I like that as well. My son @ UNC thinks they will be upgrading 36 of their rooms with the equipment next year.
