Pipecarvers Pipes & things

A bunch of years ago I saw a video from Jorge ????? and he showed us the benefit of removing the grill for air flow and I thought it a good idea to do with a 12" stand up fan until I sliced my finger to the bone doing something stupid even with the plastic blades it sliced right through when I placed my hand there to rest it as I bent over for a second. I squirm as I write this. I'll never learn. This fan though is pretty weak and will stall rather than slice. I hope...lol

i watched my dad do something similar when i was young... it didn't need to happen to me for me to learn that lesson!!!

i believe his words were "hey there's the little fan, i wonder which way it's spinning?" whack! it was a true hold my beer moment and it taught me well!! haha

I have a small fan that the grill broke off of. The fan still works so I put it to blow on my light so it doesn't get too hot. The last time I raised my led I got a good chop on my forearm from the lil fan. 😆
 
Nov 29 Black Friday, I have all my plants in my 5x5 transplanted and the Autopots turned on yesterday. No leaks everything is looking good. I still have 1 plant looking like a cabbage but the rest have been topped numerous times and should be ready to flip by Dec 1st.

I have my carpenter here today making the door to my new room and finishing off a few other jobs that have been on the go.

I have the far reds on for 15 min at lights out again, night 5 tonight, I'll giver them 2 more nights then shut them off again. I hope I can keep these plants below my lights, since I've been playing with the reds they have stretched more than my ability to control them. I hope this run is different.

My air domes, I've had more root mass the larger the domes I've used so this time I'm trying a fan cover to see how it goes. The 4" net pots work greatNov 29 cabbage patch.JPGNov 29 crop.JPGairdome1.pngfan air dome.JPGnet pot air dome.JPG

Tell me did you smoke before or after you you came up with the idea of the fan cover!!! Like i said before Red Green has nothing over you!!!!

I'm a wake and bake and smoke through the day so ya I must have been high. it was just sitting there with nothing to do, no purpose in metal so I gave it a job. I've tried smaller domes and the large ones work better...we'll see how far that goes with the fan grill
 
Nov 30,
I think its flip night. I'll keep the far reds on a bit longer I think I can handle a few more days, They stretched up a couple inches last night I think they are feeding off the bottom now.

1 week from flip and other than running my res dry last night???? wtf I got 1 job. Keep the res filled.....somebody's been smoking and not doing their job.....sigh....anyways alls good. I'm going to use the far reds again tonight and see how it goes for a few days, I think I have them under control and they shouldn't stretch me out of space this time...lol.... and then there's my cabbage looking girl, still growing okay stalk is healthy, just a bit stunted and weird looking.

I played with my new scroll saw this am. made a small puzzle cat...chopped a cheek off but I'll get it when I start getting more familiar taking corners and less wandering with the cut
Amzone delivered my door latch so now I can close my door fully, a bit of weather stripping on the bottom and I can work without dust on my girls.....far less anyways...

yes I'm just getting back into it now, a few small things to get me going. I just ordered some tracing paper and tacky glue. I can tape it to my computer monitor and trace what ever designs I want then spray glue it onto the wood and do my cutting paper and all.

I have 5 great grand kids under 7 yrs so toys and puzzle & stuff before Christmas should be a priority. I'm a pretty good monkey and can copy stuff pretty well, I have some pics of stuff I want to make, it just takes me getting started. Next chore is getting my vacuum system going and all my hoses and shut off valves properly connected and sealed up.

I bought a tub of citric acid for gummies but my ife hates the stuff so it sat. I read somewhere it was good to remove salt build up. My first try I used a small amount, 1tsp / gal water and it did squat. Next try I used 1tbs/gal and that was the ticket, all six socks in a 5 gal bucket with 3 tbs citric acid in 3 gal water. 2 days later they were salt free, just a little rubbing where it was thick in salt but it was 99% dissolved. I have 5 sitting in 2 gal water now with 2 tbs in it. I'll check later to see how it went.

About to try this today. Wish me luck.

Getting ready for sons grow. I’ll have him pop seeds this weekend as I’m chopping at least one plant and expect the rest will be done by the time they are seedlings. 👍🍀

I’ll let you know how it goes using the PH down.

The citric acid worked perfectly again all socks came out spotless, I ran it through my chiller for 2 days before I shut her down and all the hose lines look new. I didn't soak the trays and they still have white salt marks, wiping with the citric acid isn't enough it has to soak for a bit..

I hope your PH down will be strong enough like when I only added 1tsp/gal it didn't do very much where as 1 tbs/gal did the job well. I don't want to rot my socks with all the acid so I hope 1 tbs/gal doesn't eat my socks...lol...I'll find out after this grow I guess.
 
Dec Friday 13
Another gym day, its hard to get anything done going to the gym every 2 days but we're in a groove, every 2 days for over 6 months now, we've missed a few days here and there but more than made up for them going back to back to back.

I feel as solid as I've ever felt, I'm a 72 yr old 250lb 5'7" bearded & pony tailed stump that would be hard to move if I didn't want to. I played a lot of sports all my life and I'm pretty nimble ...lol...I wish & I gotten on the weights when I was younger.

Don't try to lock me in a room now, I can go through just about any door made at this point. I'm no toughy the guys at the gym would laugh at my bravado with their lifetime of working out all muscled and tattoo'd up . But Id be hard on doors tattoo's or not.

Plants are growing well 13 nights into flower, I shut the far reds off again there stretching enough without them on. A much better canopy this time, When I rush to flower without topping enough they grow up past my lights, miss using Far reds adds to the problem.

Sippin Gin, eating olives and smoking some of my Blackberry Moonshine/ Cherry pie. Not quite cured enough but tasty none the less. Its only been bagged 2 weeks another month it will be perfect.

I got my lung room all sealed up now, I can work in my shop without the worry of dust clinging to buds

My cabbage girl, the plant I put a fan grill under for an air dome is thriving and my next little project for tomorrow. and my crop & GinDec 13 cabage.JPGdec 13 crop.JPGDec 13 Fan grill plant.JPGDec 13 green gin.JPGDragon on wheeels.jpg

Drinking Blue Gin, smooth if you like gin. Some thing called Compass gin??? I don't know talked into it by the guy, so I took note of his name said I'll be back Brian if it ain't.

Smooth as silk if you like Gin, Gin by the bottle here is $35 ish, the Blue stuff is $55 ish. Nice but not all the time.
Merry Christmas to you as well, if you're on the roads at all keep a heads up at oncoming traffic this time of year MFkers can be all over the road after tipping a few. I know, I used to be one of them....

You can use these on your phone. The first one is definitely on Android or iPhone and is the one I use the most. DM WiFi

Merry Christmas to you too Pipecarver. Best wishes for the holidays. 🎄🎅
 
BTW I got two of these. I fixed my fans and used one on it to see if I could slow it down as it was too fast. The other is on my heat pad. Set half way it keeps the mat between 78.5f and 80.5f.

Both the fan and the heat pad are working great with it.

Yes that's what I have now, Not as smooth though as the Compass stuff but it does the trick. I've been sampling them all lately, Tried a lime Gin, I could drink it but my wife didn't like it,

Snowing today and I have to drive into Halifax to pick up my son for the holidays. We have a new set of snow tires on so I should be okay on the highway but its light and slippery, oh well i gotta do what I gotta do.

The stand on them is what sucks, too light and flimsy to hold focus. I got another stand that made it a lot better to use after I put in a review of the scope on Amazone at their request, put in a review get a free stand deal.1735046113167.png

That’s a nice looking stand. I got the cheap ass one like you had in that above pic.
 
Jan 5, wow how time flies when your having fun...or not as in my case. fkin hermies ruin the buzz and make my crop smaller. ah well a new year. onward

I'm pushing 5 weeks in flower and 3 of 4 are doing well and I think its the allgasog that are doing well.The Ice cream cake is small but doing fine, I dropped the light down onto her as she didn't stretch like her room mates did.

I dropped more seeds last night, time to get my next grow up and going. I chose 7 DFG Triangle Death Skunk regs and 4 capt. Red Beards Gassy Ice cream cake fems. 11 seeds to go in 6 pots. I'll see what pops and split the pots I need to, to accommodate all living sprouts. 1 seed didn't sink and after 18 hrs of trying to push it down it still floats, not a good sign in my books. I have it separated from the others to see if my feeling it won't pop is true. I've no time to fk around with slow seeds if it don't want life its going to get crushed. I'm spite full that way.

I've stalled on my dragon on wheels, I got the parts made but there's a bit of tweaking to get the wheels rolling with the legs and I put it down and haven't got back at him yetjan 5 group.JPGjan 5 icecreamcake.JPGjan 5 icecreamcake1.JPGjan5 allgasog.JPGjan5 allgasog2.JPGjan5 group1.JPGnew yeras herm2.JPGnew yeras hermi.JPGwooden dragon.JPGHermie open space.JPG
 
Looking good sir. Sorry to hear you’re having troubles getting things rolling. 🤣

After Christmas cleanup we just vegged through new years. Today was wifes first day back to work. Not like her to drag her feet but I could tell it was a hard start this morning.

It got chopped, I think it was Ice cream cake, 2 out of 3 hermied on me. I had 3 Ice cream cake and 3 All gas OG and during transplanting I lost the tags for which was which. The 2 that hermied were the same strain from Green Point. I was on the look out and it was about 10 days into flower the balls dropped and they got chopped.
