Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

Hehe. I have some pretty absurd social anxieties. If there are any more than a few people around that I do not know I start to freak out a bit inside. Subsequently I spend a lot of my time at home. I also have this terrible habit of getting overly obsessed with things. That 40g was my first tank and I put it together for $60 total over a three day period in the summer. Hit up petcos $1/g sale for the tank, found the filter and heater for free on craigslist, built the hood myself out of some extra bathroom vanity lights and old barn wood, filled it with local river sand/silt, grabbed some free plants from a forum... Within another two weeks I had the 30 and 10 filled and planted as well :)

Funny thing is that I had no interest at all in fish until my wife told me she wanted one. She quickly lost interest, like before she even purchased her fish, but for some reason I couldn't get it out of my head. Perfect science experiment imo.

O snap, do I owe you something as well? I had forgotten. And I moved so let me toss you a new address when you get around to it - no rush.

:(

I used to have 98 subscriptions

down to 4 Gas, Rad, Matt, Loyalty

Im kinda glad though, im getting my buisness plan and loan application worked out right now and staying on top of my school work. used to sit for over an hour to go through every journal and comment/like, by the time i got done people were commenting on my comments and it was another 30 min. then another 2-45 min to update my own shit......too time consuming for me right now, i have too much going on

hope all is well though with everyone.

Thanks mellokitty. And yes, hardcore agoraphobe. People are crazy... Way too unpredictable. I don't mind being in the depths of the rainforest, the dry dunes of deserts, abandoned ghost towns, ancient temples, dark wet caves, but people freak me the fuck out. I've been sky diving and I'm also a pretty avid traveler and I'd have to say that I'm more comfortable falling from a plane than being on board one with a bunch of people.

ya, totally hear ya on the unpredictable part. in my case i'm sure there's a touch of people-related ptsd in the equation as well.
there isn't, for instance, any amount of cannabis that would persuade me to get on a cruise ship.

I'm on my phone had a long paragraph and it messed up. So gonna shorten it up lol. 5 bags roots organic 707. I guess I can plant them right into the bag. Bought 5 fems from 420-seeds. Mixed so I dont know what I will have. I bought a 40 watt cfl but it burnt out after two.hours. Gotta go.to.chico to return it. I have only two.that I germinated. Going to do the other 3 around april.and do direct outside instead of seedlings under cfl. I bought some verde nutes and superthrive. Also.have fish emulsion. When should I feed. Seedlings are about 1 week old. Any suggestions? And I love your grow set up by the way. Questions appreciated.

Sounds like you're on your way. I start feeding once they have two true sets of leaves. Too easy to kill them before that.


Made some dry ice hash out of an ounce today. Used some pretty course silk screen so I'm thinking I'll clean it up with ISO and a coffee filter in a bit.

You're is definitely on the list but you haven't updated it in forever! Get on that man :)

hash looks good man
Thanks. Tastes like nothing but does the job.

Yeah. I'm curious to see how the end product is. I've made qwiso before from straight bud and it's always turned out pretty dark even with fast passes and really cold ISO. This stuff should be super super lite and very clean in comparison but I assume that means I'll taste even less than it does now. I guess that's not a bad thing though as the bud I used didn't taste good anyways.

hahaha. I was wondering if it was legible blown up but never really checked - you can totally read the entire back though. Too funny. Old card so I have a diff doc but I wouldn't be surprised if we used the same office. Oh wait... I think Medicann has all their cards signed by the same doc and it's not the doc you actually see - I have differnt signatures on my paper versus my card.
