hmm you have me thinking of a cheap BHO tube i could make.

it would involve 1 piece of 1" PvC 2 1" end caps and a piece of a metal coffee filter.

drill hole in one end cap for the butane fitting.

drill 3/4 " hole in the other end cap, place metal coffee filter material inside end cap and put on PvC

never really though about using PvC thought it had to be glass.

pvc is safe given you work with in the rated temps for butante, but you will never exceed those, so no worries!

all you need is a piece of pvc and 2 end slip fitting caps caps. o think its a 1/16 hole for the butane entry, and what i did to to the other cap is drilled 5 holes(1/8" or less) in a star shape.

but i do recommend to unbleached coffee filters over a metal screen, you will get a much more refined material this way.

you still can see them pics brute?

the pic to the right of the canopy pic is a bluecheese under that lighting, its fan leaves are coated in trichs even the biggest ones!
below that s the first 2 pics are WWxBgmh, the tripoloidy, i have some others of that cross going but none as impressive, smells just lliek bubble gum.

last 2 pics in that row are a shot of G13, which is an amzing and has huge buds on it, and then a bagseed sativa, very lemony under some uvb lighting.

bottom row is some wax i made with 100% sativa buds

No need for paper (bad actually as the root hairs can dig in. Just drop them in pure water with a few grains of sea salt. Taps will grow no problem, then use tweezers to move them into the starter cubes

fuck em i got more....:D i like being able to say that lol.

but no i used to get the best result in just setting them in a cup of tap water.. then my tap water went to shit, so i just started putting them in paper as a habit. actually what i should have done is just dropped them in the cups with distilled. but there where a couple seeds in there i was watching carefully so i have been checking on them every 8 hours any ways so figure paper towel would be best for them till they cracked and immediately into the rooter.

also ive never heard about this method, any link to info about it?

Link? I AM the link!

The sea salt (and I DO mean a few grains of it/ 4ozs h2o) provide and abundance of minerals, supercharging the pure water

Been using this for 3 -4 germs with gifted old seeds (could be many years old). 95%+ success within 24-48 hours

yeah i was thinking an ebb and flow. basically just like your system but downscaled, with more plants per site and more meant for SOG.
