ahhh that reminds me!! i made some honey today! i better finish purging it :) see though and pure golden :hump:
I saw that stuff and boy is it pretty. Nice and golden.

gas i love all the paraphernalia pics/ideas...ever get that cauterizer going?
I never did. Dunno why but that idea just kinda popped out of my head. I have a relative who's a doctor so maybe I'll hound him about getting just one the next time I see him.

Very nice. I need to start running smaller batches when I do extracts. I made way too much a long time ago and am still working through it. I think I would have been happier to make fresh stuff in smaller quantities more often.

yeah, i like the idea of that, i got a heap half cured in a drawer away from dust, when i need some more of this i'll just cure some more up, i got around 3-4 grams by the looks from around 35 grams of bud crumbs, maybe a little on the low side, but alot of it was just red hairs

ok that shit looks...dangerous....lol
yeah i haven't touched it since i first tried it last night.....it's off putting really, it's soo heavy you can't drive on it, and if you even think about lying down, you will soon find yourself waking up 3-4 hours later feeling like a zombie bit you...I love it, but I hate to say it, but it's too strong, for recreational use anyway, i think it works for pain relief, i can't remember. most of my oil usually does

At long last my LEDs arrived. Very very well packed and the ballasts look curiously similar to my HTG ballast lol. Just have one up and running. Taking an update break before I put the second together. It is very bright.

an led ey :) seeing more and more of these!! be awesome for a little mini tent mini scrog aswell, i've always wanted to do that, and it seems these led's are getting better tech, and using better spectrums, it's good that they don't make much heat, but how little heat? is it enough to warm a small area?

We shall find out :) At first I had no fan running on the heatsync and they got VERY hot - like fry an egg. With a small fan they are warm but you can comfortably touch the heatsync up to a maybe a cm from the diode. They are **both operational but I'm only running one in a 2'x4'x5' area with no ventilation and the heat doesn't seem to be building much. I'll keep you posted as they burn in.

They are extremely bright and both have a very pleasant spectrum. I don't like warm white CFLs (for lighting the house) but this warm white LED is marvelous. I'm very tempted to get a few for around the house; Perhaps some 20 or 30 watters.

those things are NUTS gas! how much were they and where did you get them? SICK! lol.
It was $180 for what I needed to put the two together. Purchased the heatsyncs from HeatsyncUSA and the rest from ebay. Seller was laurel-beads

hows the plants looking Gas?
I scrapped the ones in the attic. They are looking healthy and all that but only one is flowering and it's just getting too hot. Pulled the plug yesterday. So as of now this is all I have going on. With quite a few seeds on their way for a small micro perpetual. Also adjusted one of the lights and checked them for actual draw - the cool white is running at 87w at the array and the warm white is running at 96w at the array.

sad to hear you scrapped some plants :( i thought a few were budding ?! damn, i'm still lurking about Gas! You always come up with some crazy ideas :)

One was definitely budding but very very slowly and the rest didn't seem to be doing much of anything. With high temps and tiny pots they were needing to be watered twice a day and I'm just not down with that for plants that are going to be facing 120-130 daily temps and mites. I thought about bringing one down and sticking it under the LEDs but I think it's best to quarantine them. I'll bag em up tomorrow. But yes, sad to scrap them after so many months of electricity and effort. Poor ladies :(

Hehe, I think you might need to skim a bit better. This thread has three or four complete grows in it - only the barely documented last attic attempt was the no go. There's a quick sum up of one of them on page 74 at 10 posts per page. Appreciate you skimming through though! Thanks.

dumb as hell.
So defensive guys :) It is a long journal to skim through. At least I know who's got my back hehe.
