Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

Yeah... I made a few mistakes. Generally I use 99% not 91% but I have no idea post move where the local distributors are. Generally do a pour through with with very very cold iso but this time mixed in a dish and then poured through the filter. Every time though I've ever made ISO oil it's always been dark as fuck. I guess the color doesn't really personally bother me but for I wouldn't say its something I'd be excited to photograph and post.

All this said I'm still thinking of cleaning up several grams of BHO with ISO. I just really don't like that ill in the lungs feeling... Think a wash in ISO and a purge would clean up the BHO at all?

Maybe I should just bake with it all.

unless that somehow magically separates the contaminants i can't se it doing much really, unless the heavies sit in the corner once u have dissolved it maybe, not sure, let me know gas, sorry i dont have experience on that

I'm thinking that there has to be some remnant butane and that putting it into a solution might help release some of the butane.

hey tanker.. long time bro.. have lots to doo and between bein sick and transportint my mom to dr appt, have taken the life out of me.. when i get the chance to get to riu i can load the home page and cant get past it. dam internet. ur lights r kewl. good idea, and cheap.

count me in on the caulderizer. i got some oil ready to burn. . i will get ya out a check as soon as i can.

my wife and i have athur in our hands. she has it way worse than me. my friend took some hash oil and mixed it with drinkable aloe vera. she started using it on her hands and it did ok. so we got the idea to use bag hash. i mixed up 2 grams of hash to 3 oz of lubriderm hand lotion. wow that shit is awesome.. i can play the banjo again. the pain was too much i couldnt practice much, now im tryin to practice everyday. but ya dont get the buzz. i had her rub it on the lower back on a flare up and it helped out a lot. my mom is now using it on her ouies. hope this helps out someone..

catch ya later tanker..

If this has been addressed earlier in the thread forgive me.

I wanted to ask the author a question. It says in the title that you are using UV light, however the only reference to non visible light supplementation I can find in the thread is the following quote:

I just recently grabbed two General Electric 8 pannel fluorescent X-ray lamps for free from my local Kaiser who has switched over to digital X-ray photos versus prints.

Are you using X ray lamps rather than UV lamps? Or is there also UV supplementation that I am yet to find?
Thanks

could do maybe, maybe the butane is a lighter gas, i heard butane has oils in it to begin with, but i haven't researched as i don't agree with butane, did it once and it stank crap. let us know gas, sounds interesting, that would be like free-basing in a way

nice work hammer! good to hear someone making lotions and stuff! i make tinctures with brandy and hash oil, and a few drops on your tounge gives a pleasant buzzing tingle and my mrs thinks it relaxes her to rub it on her temples. i just don't like brandy full stop, or alcohol for that matter, i just don't like the smell or tastes.

i mixed .5 gram of hash oil to 15ml of brandy, smells superb, well changes the brandy smell anyway!! it takes a little to dissolve but through an eye dropper, this stuff is amazing, mrs take it everywhere like that chick on cruel intentions 1 with the coke around her neck in the little vial hehe

Love hearing about tinctures doing their job. I'll have to give you a buzz in a bit.

My side lighting consists of X-Ray viewing panels - the panels they hang on the walls at hospitals that radiologists use to look at the old school xray film prints, I've just taken off the opaque white covers. Every other bulb in my side lighting is a 10.0 UV bulb. So yes, there is quite a bit of UV supplementation, just no xray supplementation. Growing with actual xrays would be very very bad - high high energy use and it would just fry the plants and give me cancer. Most hospitals now use digital xray film so they are throwing out their old veiwing units, which is how I grabbed mine for free when they sell for several grand a piece (don't ask me why they cost so much. maybe the hospital grade plug? lol).

Oh yeah, todays progress -

With the help of a very nice fellow RIU member I took down my tent and packed the rest of my grow gear and moved it to my new place. The 4x4x8 tent is currently in the attic on its side and will be used for veg. Later tonight I'll be sealing the flower room, hooking up the ventilation, and flipping the light. Will update with pictures then.

good to hear gas, and cool idea flippin the tent on the side for veg!, space saver

Today will be day 1 of 12/12. I don't have super amazing ambitions for this plant - not sure what strain, isn't in perfect health, and it's in some super cheap crappy potting soil that I found in the garage when I moved in. But hopefully this will signify the start of a perpetual until it gets too hot.




Time to go cook up some snails

You're expanding! Looks niiiice. You got some decent space going on in there...thought about investing in a cheap a/c?

a tent on the side huh, think of the scrogging potential there....totally possible

you cook snails to eat, escargot style? butter n garlic? never had it...any good?

gives me the heebie jeebies...i like oysters and clams, but man a snail is just...weird. lol. looking great on the setup man. cant wait to move mine too...oh smoke report and weight are up! check out my thread...

and again THANK YOU GAS for the write up on organics. fucking KEY!

Well the house has a huge AC and I have a 12,000btu portable AC but the attic just gets sooo damn hot. In the summer it'll hit 110 here in the shade on some days which means the attic will be ~130 or higher? Not too sure a 12,000 btu portable AC would do all that much. I'm pretty sure even a huge AC would be working it's ass off. We'll see though.

Yeah, I was actually wondering why more people don't flip their tents. I could see people making a table and having one on top of the other, both on their sides. Could pull a lot of weight in a small area doing that.

np. I've had snails in the states and snails in France and several other countries and I always really enjoyed them so I thought I would have to try my own. Unfortunately they didn't come out just as I would have liked but I have several hundred more for further experimentation. As gross as they sound, they are really not much different than eating a squid, clam, or muscle - just another primitive mollusk.

Quite the process:
After a week long purge pick out some snails and clean them:

Remove from shell after a quick boil:

Clean and sterilize the shells:

After soaking in salt water simmer them in wine and herbs:

Stuff them back into their shells with some butter, garlic, bread crumbs and cheese:

And into the oven:


Not very pretty plating but oh well.

woot woot!! and the "hurry up and wait" begins!!

radeon: if you like clams you'll like escargot. they're a bit .... chewier (although that totally depends on the chef too, and i hear gas is a bit of a foodie)

wow gas, that is impressive, i will not even try them, just the thought chills me you are very creative i give you that! i'm more of a schnitzel man

if i liked any of the things you mentioned these are similar to i would def try them but.......no thanks. i did find this cool video though

I like this chef john dude and i plan on making these this summe when my zuccini go into flower. I did make this already and they were pretty good but i didnt have all the right ingredients (no lamb sausage and no greek yogurt/buttermilk) and the cinimon was a bit strong so i think ill go 1/2 dose on that next time but other than that they were great just a little bland but i think the spicy lamb sausage would have been much better than the spicy pork sausage i used.

sorry for the video spam, ill take em down if you want just let me know

I like video spam I really have been wanting to try making stuffed squash blossom. Should have done it to my spaghetti squash last year - we didn't eat even a quarter of the stuff we grew.
