Everclear.....Just came to me after a couple of tokes. But I see Irish is on it.:)

Just chopped this male Engineers Dream in half. Just waiting for its clone to root before culling it. It's in a 3.5l pot....needs watered every 10 minutes lol.

I'll remember something mentioned 5 years ago, but I can't recall what I had for dinner :)

Still got all my ED seeds somewhere, and all the other ones I got off BB. Maybe they'll be viable in a few years time. Took all my grow stuff to the dump last week as it was taking up too much space. I say the dump, hadn't even gotten it out of the car before a man in a white van offered to take it all :) Kuroi and I will get something going one day though no doubt.

lovely looking fella, defo got the sativa flavour in him.

i am finding it difficult to find everclear here, even online it's a right faf. would you say there would be much difference between the 95% 96% and 98% grain spirits in regard to quality or ability to get the job done?

Lol. More like me being blind mate. Ffs. Someone gives me something I am already holding it at arms length to see the cunting thing. I am in denial...Just know if I go to the opticians 's I will come out a lot lighter of the pocket and heavier of the head.

Wouldn't like to say on the % as the stuff my mate sent was always the same if I recall correctly. It Def makes nicer product than the spiritus stuff imo.

Everclear is just a brand name of Ethanol sold in the USA by the company Luxco.
It is made in 2 strengths, 75.5% and 95% because in some states pure 95% Ethanol is illegal.

Pure distilled Ethanol comes in a maximum ABV % of 95% (95.58% exactly), it is impossible to get a product any stronger by distillation alone (It is possible to get bottles of Ethanol from Poland labelled 96% because of rounding up like a car engine CC but this is very rare).

A bottle of Ethanol that has been professionally produced by a state controlled distillery (IE bought from a legit shop/source) is the better product than a bottle of Ethanol produced by a home still, it will be guaranteed clean/pure and guaranteed maximum ABV % while being produced under the strictest conditions with the best ingredients/equipment.

There is something called Absolute Ethanol that is 100% ABV (and very hygroscopic) but this can only be produced by further processing Ethanol after distillation with chemicals or by buying it from a legit chemical supply house for lab use.

I'll be doing another one in the next cycle and hopefully the weather will back off. The second tier of buds are much better than the top. The heat has melted the resin. It's not had a fair run which is a shame because it'll be my first try of a plant that so many people love and mine is below par so I probably won't see what all the fuss is about. It's like this round of Cheese if anyone saw it they'd have a very low opinion of it and wonder why anybody ever kept a clone. Growing conditions have made a huge difference with this one. You'd think my last run and this were a different clone

Kipped in a sleeping bag on the beach. Was lush til it pissed doon at half 2. Had to pitch a one man tent and spoon with my mate for warmth. Camping is a young mans game that's for sure.

We've made an executive decision to not cycle into 40 mph gusts and are now getting lashed in alnmouth for the next few hours til the train.
