What did you do today?

[TerpyTyrone]

Spent the morning tearing out old drywall and a fiberglass shower surround. Then took out the Owens-corning. Fuck that shit sucks. I'm down to studs @Jesselikes2Grow.....just the tub is left. Hopin to hear from D-man today.....tile guy coming by tomorrow to make sure we're on the same page. Hopin for some plumbing action next week and tile to follow soon after that. Cha-ching, cha-ching....

passing to the left....

Always place a bed of mortar below the tub surrounds in order to keep the tub from deflecting under the weight. There is nothing more irritating than stepping into what seems a hollow shower. Oh and measure the depth u set ur mixing valve. Over and over. I took mine out a couple times to get er lined up and the right depth. Any qualified plumber should know thw deal. I'm,no plumber. But I'll get er done!

Tub is outta here as well...LOL....I'm just trying to keep it around so I can wash my ass as long as possible....

Tub is being removed to open up the space. The Mater Builder here built a kick ass/solid as fuck addition....all 3 ft x 6 ft. of it.....LOL.....and 3 x 5 of that is shower pan. Plumber set the diverter/mixing valve. I'm gonna get stuck hooking the vanity plumbing up/doing the shower trim/the drywall finish/window trim/building a half wall by the shitter..and more...but thar seems to be the way it always shakes out...LOL. Plumber is 2 hours away and already told me he wasn't driving that far just to put in the trim...LOL. Ahy....home ownership.

Paradise Diesel is down.
115/85 days
877g total wet. Probably trim up to around 6oz.

They should realize that a buncha folks lkie me woulda never heard the word "Ardent" (I'm more in the "Argent" camp) if you weren't here touting it's good and bad points.

Hold yer head up...your use isn't excessive....well...maybe....

I actually got that Argent, hold your head up reference. Yep, ain't gettin' any younger. (Shuffles off to yell at kids on lawn)

H A F how do you like those hanging clips? I was looking at them online the other day but they did not state what the maximum clip opening was. Can you measure that for me please? I have gotten where i like hanging the whole plant intact. I wanted to make sure they open far enough.

 

[sandman83]

refilled the ecogrower DWC with some maxibloom and calmag @ 900 ppm, keeping it low this time around and will only increase if I see an actual need from the ppm dropping...

adjusted the yoyo's in the flower room, still tons of white pistils so I've got a while to wait.

Took a bunch of clones from the bubblegum for the next run, giving the aerocloner another try with just plain ph water.

Looks like a dry cleaning carousel

Here's what I have.

They are pretty strong but I don' know what is "too heavy". But they have a strong spring.

About a half inch is how far it opens before the tips open past parallel if that makes sense. They open to about an inch, but that wide they might squeeze out whatever they are holding. I think the diameter of the trunk would matter more than the weight.

I had a feeling it would be close. I saw another one that was bigger but a bit pricey. I was hoping i could get away with the size you have.My stalks are usually half a inch to three quarters of a inch.

@Capt C I think just a hook made out of a coat-hanger would be best LOL

Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. I think i will do just that. Thanks HAF . I have been lifting one of the lower branches over the hang line to straddle it but i think a hook would work better though.

Could use a large binder clip and an S hook? These open to 1-1/16"

I think these are much stronger than the binder clips. I have low humidity so when I have stuff drying I weigh it to see when it's ready to jar instead of going by days. Having the clips just makes it easier.

What kind of percentages do you shoot for on weight?

 

[H.A.F.]

What kind of percentages do you shoot for on weight?

I think 20% is the standard, so I shoot for 25% then try to slow it down some if needed by jarring it. Depending on how dense stuff is. I have had it sneak down to 20% in 4 days when I wasn't keeping track.

Lots of burping until it stops losing weight and I can stretch it to 7 days. The rH packs are indispensable with that process. Probably why my packs stay fresh.

My first grow stopped losing weight and was at 62% rh at 22% of harvest weight. Interesting concept. Simple and works.

That is why I weigh mine immediately after trimming, whatever form that trimming takes. Even with the whole plant hanging it will lose to about 22% and hold. Granted, you won't get 22% of that weight in bud, but the dryness rule still works.

 

[H.A.F.]

Actually that might be the difference between the 20% thing and the 22-23%. Once it dries to about 22%, you should end up with about 20% in flower. with that 2-3% being the stems.

Apparently I can't delete a message, i was whining and removed it. Sorry for the interuption.

I went downtown to pick up some business supplies and saw a couple hundred protestors in downtown Calgary burning the US flag , all Iraqis and Iranians mostly with some self hating useful idiot Canadians helping out , I asked them if they knew Canada was only a Country because the US allowed it , I got called a baby killer , I told them I had never killed any babies that I knew of but there was a very good chance I had killed many of thier In Laws in the Gulf War and that makes Me very happy. RCMP advised Me to leave and I did so , All while giving them a rather out of tune Star Spangled Banner. Toronto big time protests as well I am told, WTF is wrong with Canada ? I know but the PC police might smack me across the balls if I say.
