OMG yes I remember, hardcore! I never had the cajones to try that. Thought about it, but no.

We used to do 151 shots all the time, wasn't that bad. Someone offered me a shot of Eveclear, i never heard of it, it was illegal here, so I took it. It instantly came back up and I was dry heaving for an hour or more. This was probably 10 minutes after we got to the party. I went and slept in the car for a couple hours and didn't drink again that night. Horrible night. :spew:

I can get it here now and use it for a final rinse after ISO in my glass pieces. I can taste the ISO no mater how much i rinse it, but that stuff takes it right out. I'll swear i catch a little buzz just breathing it if I work with it to long.

Oh yeah, it is awesome for flaming spit balls. And burning your lips off.

Have you tried drawing air through the piece with a vacuum cleaner? That gets my freshly-washed glass free of any extraneous odors. Save you a rinse step maybe.

I've been thinking about trying LEDs. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

I like leds. I have cobs and a good unit farm with cree and osram diodes.

I'm thinking about going back to my t5 for these cold months. Im having a hard time keeping my grow space warm enough. I can't see running a heater and light.

I might just stick a couple t5 bulbs in with the leds for extra light and a bit of heat.

It's not just the fumes, cheap ISO sometime leaves a residue, the everclear never does.

The 91% I get at Walmart is clean ime. No residue that I can detect (disclaimer 1. I worked in a lab and what smells to me isn't necessarily what smells to others. Disclaimer 2. I like the smell of isopropanol in the morning.) Did you try the vacuum trick? I'm curious if it works for you ...

coco x xlg perlite are the shit, that's what I grow in, (says the really intermediate grower LOL)

Do you screen your perlite?
I read an article by Al Tapla about the importance of consistent particle size so I've been screening both perlite and kitty litter.
The best price I can find on perlite is $14 for 4 cubic feet but the shit looks like it's been run over by a truck. Bottom of the bag is mostly glass dust.
All the little stuff gets spread on the lawn.

Guys, I feel bad for treating @Venus55 the way I have the last few days. I just think there's a time in life when people need to grow up and act like adults........So

I just wanted to say to Venus, I saw a sign that said something about Bikes and Racks for 99$ .....not sure if you need a bike .....but the Rack thing is a must .....only $99

I appreciate the advice, but I'm gonna keep doing the etho rinse.

I used to work in a high precision shop and the 97% ISO we used to get would eventually gum up the lapped precision granite plates. Parts would start sticking, get scratched and either have to be reworked, or be junk. There was always a black waxy residue on the parts when this started happening. The company that did the lapping told us to stop using ISO, use acetone, which is what we used to clean parts. One of our engineers figured out about how much ISO was used on a granite per day and evaporated it in a glass bowl. There was a noticeable oily residue lefty behind, times 6 days a week, it built up. We switched to acetone and it stopped happening. I'm not a fan of ISO because of that experience.

I'm going back to hps keep led for veg.. Mine just doesn't pack enough punch.. But I can 't afford a high end unit. Mine puts out plenty of heat, more than I expected.

I've been told to give cmh a try but I know what hps does so it would be tough not to go back to that.

I found that, maybe a resident chemistry expert knows which of those can react with stuff normally found in the environment.

I know that it sometimes has denatonium benzoate in it (bittering agent)

And if it's exposed to light and air repeatedly over time it can form a peroxide, beyond that I don't know.

Bottom side almost finished.

I'm glad you photoed that Prop. now i don't have to worry.

I would inspect/replace the hydraulic line's as well.

They take a beating from rocks & such + they have a habit of bursting at the worst possible times.

I helped my friend move some furniture and I worked on the POS Ford Tempo some more. The bad news is that it's leaking coolant but I'm hoping it's just a freeze plug because it's not in the oil. It started getting dark so I called it a day, hopefully I can find out tomorrow.

It starts and runs a lot better since I sorted all the shoddy wiring out too.

I liked the op of this thread for how fucking good its become.. You all should too he's a God

Now I just need to figure out the whole not a powerstroke but a Cummins 4 bt and how to make it...move thing.

One Ph.D. in Organic already gave him advice he rejected, LOL
