Stoney's Luv Shack

Numbers are good. I’d write down which spot my seeds are in for each strain in my journal. Cleaner look than tape. So a useful if not necessary improvement IMO.

How long will veg time last?

 

[Stoneyluv]

I like the idea.

cool, i'll leave em on there then. i changed the font to make them look a little smoother though.

yeah you're right, it is cleaner than the tape.

thanks for the feedback guys... any other ideas throw em out there!!

How long will veg time last?

i'm hoping for eight weeks or less. the last two rounds went nine weeks but i had issues with both so i'm hoping to drive these a little harder and hope to not make any mistakes... it's the mistakes that get me every time!!! hehe

All the perfect people died so grommies can remember lessons learned, no exceptions. Maximus and his dolt friend Minimus just going towards the smooth weed. Thanks for confirming this veg time, and onwards.

I freshened up the veg cabinet a little... took out the SIP manifold and decking then i put up some new mylar, hung a stripper fan pole, and picked up a $17 tray. I plan to veg eight plants and flower six. i like when you guys have that option going into flowering and i'd like that too...

here is the lineup for the next round, i'm going to start two of each. in the event of the ARC being duds again i will sub in the dotz...

oreoz - gorilla glue 4 - banana punch - alien rock candy

View attachment 17734

this will give me the chance to actually test the newest germinator with hinges and latches, i've tested the hinges hundreds of times now but the latches have no testing at all yet, and i also added numbers to the inside. i'm not sure anyone but me will actually use these..

i thought i could keep a legend or just list it here for reference.

i hope to mix up the soil and start the seeds this weekend but it's almost thursday already so no promises. hehe

i should be okay on the timing, i'll need to keep these in here for four to five weeks so i'm just not sure how the 275 will do at five weeks... should be good, but i have been peeking at ebay for a used 275 to double up... we'll see... i just know if i continue to grow in rounds like this i'll probably tighten up the schedule which means growing them bigger in the veg cab. i've vegged with it before so i think i'll be fine. i'm gonna find out thats for sure!!! hehehe

Looking forward to what happens when you push the ;limits of the 275. I bet it works out!
Love what you've done with the VG! The numbers are cool but I liked that dry erase effect you had in the video. I'll be stealing that one.
PLants just look fucking gorgeous Dude! Stackin like champs!!!

I hope the ARC retry works this time. That cut was popular in Vegas but every time I went for it they were sold out. I did get a single portable vape but that was it

yeah i'm not even sure why i was sweating the 275 not being enough, it's always been enough before and i'm only gonna ask it to do less so i'm pretty sure i'll be fine, but if not i have a back up plan in the works anyway.

i got a bunch of stuff done early this morning and then had to get my state inspection done on my truck... i think i might have to find a new mechanic... ... when he wasn't looking i nut rubbed that autographed hat!!!



after that i had some extra free time so i got all the soil ready for the new batch.. i picked up some granular myco/tric from k4L so i wanted to mix everything up a head of time to get the microbes teaming up. the soil i picked up is lighter than i'm used to so i watered it in with some roots trinity just to keep it moist enough to fill the airpots without it falling out too quick. I'm gonna go with the #1 size like you did this round. mine are the reds and yellow bottom wraps so they're a little longer than the #1's so i'm just gonna put the bottoms in a few nipple rounds up from the bottom, plus it will be a built in plant riser for my tray!!

i haven't assembled the airpots yet... still debating if i want to fill in the second row of holes first... right now i'm leaning against it. i plan to use the drip halos again so i don't think i should even go through the hassle. i think i'm just gonna set the bottoms in so i have about 3/4 of what the red bottoms contain. i'll measure one out but i have a feeling it won't really be like the real airpot #1 in volume size anyway, just diameter.

i'm gonna drop the seeds here in a bit, i cut the paper towels like you showed in your VG thread, i put one folded cut to size bounty paper towel on each side of the center wavy piece (AKA smokey and the bandit III) and i'm gonna have to warm the rez up cuz it's kinda chilli here right now... oh BTW, i'm taking the biggest bong rips i can all night tonight and blowing them south west hoping it creates a vortex of wind and carries some of our cool air down there... high of 75 today and dipping down to 53 tonight!!! got all the windows open now!!

once i get the seeds ready tonight i'll post what slots are what strain to have em documented.. but yeah i really hope the ARC works out, i'm squirrel stashing some of the OG to compare it to.. if the rest of these seeds are all duds i will just smoke it all up and leave it in the past!!! and never buy from dr blaze ever again..

started another batch of tea again, i put another water jug on top of the main one to be a foam catcher... been a few hours and now and i think i figured out why it failed last time. i think i just simply overfilled it. this one here has been running for five hours now and looks fine, but man if it didn't look like a syfy robot before it sure does now!!!



but the foam is not bad at all when i leave room for air inside... last time it looked like this in a couple hours...



so yeah i think just a gallon less water and it seems to be fine. this is three gallons right now. i'll know more tomorrow, it should be ready to use around 8pm. if that top jug is still clean and nothing oozes out then i will make the top hole a little bigger and ditch the top jug. i want the hole bigger just so it's easier to fill no other reason. i bought this jumbo sized unibit for it, i didn't know they even made them this big...



just getting a little stackin' action... this zangria smells like a box of fruity pebbles!!!!! i know the terps usually change as it matures but so far it's got my tail waggin!! the sugar fairy is even hittin the fans a little already!!!



ah man i gotta tell ya this... today the mrs was trying to channel your inner wife while making tortillas... you guys are the the only ones we know that make em fresh... i realize thousands of peeps make em fresh, i just don't know them!! but bro today she crushed em.. probably the best we ever had here. she used lard, i normally use butter. i liked these better! but yeah killer wraps bro, i ate three just by themselves with a little sweet cream butter... ah yeah!!!



Hope ya have a smooth weekend at work and it cools off a little for ya!!! and good luck to brisky!!! he's on fire right now!!! freakin better than larson at the road races!!!!! watkins glen this week... i'd love to see him win, punching a ticket would screw so many other teams out of the playoffs, i'd love to see it!!!!!!!

 

[Bandit420]

I can see it now. That moment when Mr. Luv sees your hemp smoker gear and what happens when you're not looking....




Man IDK if I just forgot or what but I don't remember two road course races on back to back weekends last year?
These are the weeks I think I make my move in the pool. Jimmie Johnson at the end will fuck me but I really like my picks to close the season out. I still have Brisky with a win at Roval but yeah I like where the 14 team is headed right now too.
#5 is just all over the place...Literally! Man that guy races a ton!
I saw the Indy car reveal he had last week and damn near ordered the diecast right then and there after the announcement. Gonna wiat though and just visit the Hendricks hauler at COTA next Spring.
I was happy to see Gragson get out of his Legacy contract. That team is dead to me now. I like Eric Jones and JJ's a good guy, sucks what happened earlier this year with his family, but as far as I'm concerned Legacy and Petty can fuck off
IDK if NG goes back to JRM & Xfinity or what now. Only 25 so he does have some growing to do but he's a good driver and needs to be racing. I'll be one of the first in line for his new team gear giving him support.

Man I gotta admit...We haven't made fresh 'tillas in a while but that don't mean we don't have fresh 'tillas!! About a block and a half over there's a dive Mexican food joint only open for breakfast and lunch but the old lady in there cranks out some of the best flour and corn 'tillas I've ever had!!! I'll go in there on my dog walks and score a dozen or two.

if only my nut rubs looked that cute.. i'd be doing them out in public!!!

man i couldn't agree with you more on the whole legacy team shit.. talk about totally trashing a respected brand like petty. JJ and his wife really screwed that organization all up. and i as well will be supporting anything gragson gets into. with the playoffs about to start i wouldn't expect to hear much public news about him the rest of this year. unless there's an injury and a team gets desperate. not everyone will want to hire josh berry as a sub. i wish him the best!!

but man bot our teams had a bad week.. i can't ever remember back to back road races, i remember the good old days when there were only two road races a season!!!

glad tio see the 2 had a good finish, with all those around you in the pool having the dinger, but you should still be in good shape, a lot of racing to go yet man!!!

and just because you got him in the pool don't mean you gotta root for em!!! lots of shitty drivers i don't root for win!!!! hahaha

.

so saturday i tested out the VG... working great so far!! there is even extra room inside if you wanted more towels or have thicker ones... my only complaint was the rez so i re drew it and printed out a better one that didn't leak!!!

i have all eight seeds in there right now, i think i put them in saturday night so i'll check em out tonight in a bit... i put them on a heat mat and under the light. i would normally use my dtv box but i thought about what you said in the VG tread and decided to put a light above them.





i also picked up some veg nutes because the only ones i have are old so i decided to give this a try (it used to be called natures pride)... it has a lot of stuff that i like in it and i'll be making tea with it so we'll see how that works out....





and my tea brewer worked great with the foam, just a tiny bit came out and i think with the new bigger hole and a small chimney i can control it just fine!!!



and one last update.....

something i've wanted for a very long time and finally upgraded..... gonna need a paint job for sure, but with a gauge... fuck yeah!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

the first ones to spread their wings... alien rock candy!!!!! the others were right there too... both oreoz and banana punch had shed their shells as well. both gorilla glue are still under helmets. so less than 48 hours and six of eight are above ground....



so we'll call this week 1 day 1...

How’s the new germinator working out? Still testing or bang on?

 

[Bandit420]

I had the same problem with a 3D printed leaky rez. I made it at 100% infill to so not sure WTF happened.

That's so cool you have a pressure gauge on that jack. I've looked at adding one to mine but there's some hang ups...#1 is getting the jack out of the housing without destroying anything. #2 is I'd have to take it to a machine shop to drill the hole and thread it with a tap & dye. I just don't have the tools to do that.

Are those the resized airpots?
For your luck with ARC this time buddy!

Only one race left now before playoffs!!!
You know Gibbs is gonna go Gibbs trying to get that last spot. 9 and so many others are desperate...Does Bubba get bounced on the last lap of Daytona Sunday? I sure hope so! I would love it so much for either Brisky or Burton to get this one and just stick to so many guys near the cut line

Hey you see the new NASCAR video game coming out? I might have to get back on the Xbox after seeing this!

And NASCAR and Netflix announced a new series that will show early 2024. It will be a 5 part show, each 45 minutes long, about the 2023 playoffs and filming has already started

NASCAR is really trying hard to reinvent itself. I have watched the last 2 or 3 races and I cannot believe how things have changed in the last 5 years. I am just not seeing the fans like before or the big name sponsors. Something is cutting into their popularity, might just be the future of Motorsport with all the electric cars and bikes.
I am not a fan of Bubba or Gibbs. There will be some really dirty shit come Sunday. You can count on it. I like Elliot just because of his dad. But I am a fan of Larson and Bell is a pretty clean racer from what I have seen. Those two are pretty strong at the Chile bowl.

This is my first full season into it as last year I got into it after going to COTA and getting hooked. In one year I've gone to 5 races already and will do the 6th next month.
There's a changing of the guard so to speak with the sport. The good ol boys of yesteryear don't like the new stuff, be it the cars or tracks, and are staying home or not watching but with that comes new fans like me and my wife who had believed stereotypes until we went to a race. The world changed as we knew it that day.
Attendance depends greatly on the track from what I've seen. All Texas races I've been to have had huge crowds if not sold out. Chicago was nuts with the crowd size and Pocono looked packed. I think it was Richmond where a crowd looked thin on TV.
It doesn't seem like there's a lot of money in the sport but those TV deals and purses at 6,7,8 million are surprising.

COTA and Chicago are definitely for 1st time fans and when they show up, they get hooked on it. So that's been my thing this past year and a half is telling people to go to a race and see. The several who did come back hooked.
I like every part of it but short track racing is my least fave and The Clash in LA is pretty lame. But big tracks, super speedways, and road racing gets me going and excited. Road course racing might be my fave just because it's so crazy and wild. The different strategies and etiquette each track offers is really fun to watch. It's not perfect, like I'm not a fan of stage cautions, and I doubt it ever will make everybody happy but we have a blast watching this insanity every week now.
I also like a lot of the drivers, especially the youngsters aside from Gibbs. I'm looking forward to the next wave of drivers too who will replace the Busches and Harvicks of the sport in coming years. So yep, transition all around the sport for a few more years to come before thing kinda settle in

Say Bandit are you still no beans in the Chile beans?

Always and forever.

my rez problem was it was too thin, i thickened it up and all good now!!!

.

that jack was almost a necessity.. see i have all those tools and the know how to use them, my problem was i put the hole in the wrong part of the jack and then while trying to fix my mistake i created a leak and the jack never worked the same since i would have to clean all the oil up each time... no bueno!!!

so once i move all the RC stuff i have pilled in front of the press because i can't use it. i'll swap it out... it will actually look a little cleaner when it's done... and once i paint it black!!! hehehe

.

man i was kind of torn on what to do for airpots... i had eight yellow bottoms in the shed for over five years collecting dust so i made the decision to cut them... so they are tall like the reds and i made them fit just smaller diameter than the reds and also go one notch further to make them the same diameter as the orange bottoms. so depending on what row i start with they can be oranges or a little bigger than orange. then i just put the bottoms a few rows up to make them a little shorter because they are so tall... see i listen when you talk!! haha

so i'll give it try and find out in a couple months if it was the right move...

.
hell yeah daytona... anybody can win!!!!!! anybody!!!! it won't be larson i can tell ya that!!!! hahahaha he hates that place...

i didn't see that show or the video game.. that's freakin awesome!!!!

nascar is always gonna change... if you like the sport you almost have to embrace the changes. i wasn't sure how i would like stage racing when it came out.. i love it!! more restarts.. that's what i like the best, the restarts!!! i didn't like the past two weeks of an hour and a half racing with no cautions. for one it's too hard on the drivers, two it's not competitive at all only one or two cars have a chance, and three damn i need a smoke break!!!! especially at road races where there are few full coarse cautions to start with.. do that at bristol where it don't matter if there are stage breaks or not.. they just brought stage breaks into the sport now they're taking them back out already, somebody in charge not doing a good job seems desperate to me!!

Say Bandit are you still no beans in the Chile beans?

bro you could invent a bean that tasted like the best ganja in the world and got him high as f@ck and he still wouldn't like it in chili!!!!! well maybe if you made it a jelly bean he'd eat it!!!!

Always and forever.

If you enjoy Nascar you might like World of Outlaws Sprint car races. They are a blast and the racing is IMO on parr or better than Nascar.

As far as the Nascar and the changing of the guard thing. I think that is probably an accurate statement. Fontana or (fontucky) as some put is, is being redesigned from what a 2 mile oval to I believe a short course. To me it seems like Nascar is trying to combine several forms of racing to reinvent itself. The road courses I can see the Aussie Super Cars, in the added road courses. More tracks going smaller is also a change. I do hope they are successful. IRL has had its struggles over the last decade or so and seems to be gaining stem, also F1 showing up at so many venues is also cutting into Nascar. COTA was added in the last 5 years, FA I believe they have been there 2 years and now Las Vegas this year.

Man that's some good looking weed!!!

It's funny you mentioned the restarts because I was thinking about that Sunday. I'd like to see maybe a restart after stage 2 but keep stage one green. I like both side of that coin..the restarts and green flag pit stops so if there's a way to get both I'll be very happy. The madness on pit row and then chatting it up with a few of those guys in Chicago makes me want to see them involved and under pressure. Like Suarez's crew and that air hose under the tire. He all but had that race won until that so I love how every little thing matters and how a pit stop can make or break a day.

I have a sub to Flosports and get to see a lot of Sprint and late model dirt racing. Love that stuff especially the late models and I wanna get to a live track to see those up close. One day maybe even make it up to the Chili Bowl

IRL is hooking me in too especially with Larson in the Indy 500 next year. I need to set my DVR up better to get them recorded because I'm missing most of those races.
MotoGP is also on my radar since they come to COTA and tix are cheap. There's also a Ferrari racing league that comes to COTA and those are free for spectators and there's other leagues who come to race there as well.
I really want to get into F1 but it's making it hard for me. Tix to go see those races are so far out of my price range for entertainment it's not funny at all. $500+ for a shitty spot on the grass and if you want a seat, it's $1500 each for the cheapies and up to $10K for a box seat. On top of that, parking is $150 and concessions are the $12 beer/$10 hotdog kinda deals.
Same seat for the cup race is $90 and NXS & Truck is only $45 for both, along with free parking and I can bring in a backpack cooler.
The F1 TV broadcast reminds me of horse racing the way they fancy it up. I like racing dirty and stinky with a little crazy redneck thrown in so I think that's why I love stock car racing. And IDK why but when Dale Jr gets all excited and hoppy, it gets me going too haha! Love that guy at the track every Sunday doing his thing

Man that's some good looking weed!!!

It's funny you mentioned the restarts because I was thinking about that Sunday. I'd like to see maybe a restart after stage 2 but keep stage one green. I like both side of that coin..the restarts and green flag pit stops so if there's a way to get both I'll be very happy. The madness on pit row and then chatting it up with a few of those guys in Chicago makes me want to see them involved and under pressure. Like Suarez's crew and that air hose under the tire. He all but had that race won until that so I love how every little thing matters and how a pit stop can make or break a day.



I have a sub to Flosports and get to see a lot of Sprint and late model dirt racing. Love that stuff especially the late models and I wanna get to a live track to see those up close. One day maybe even make it up to the Chili Bowl

IRL is hooking me in too especially with Larson in the Indy 500 next year. I need to set my DVR up better to get them recorded because I'm missing most of those races.
MotoGP is also on my radar since they come to COTA and tix are cheap. There's also a Ferrari racing league that comes to COTA and those are free for spectators and there's other leagues who come to race there as well.

Yes the prices for spectators is over the top. I think Monaco is even more. It is out of my price league as well. But I do like the way they do not put up with BS from the teams or drivers. Cost of an F1 car are insane, a few years back the Nascar guys were hiring all the F1 guys they could find. I do not think that is still the same thing. F1 has a budget cap and it gets dirty, It is going to get worse because F1 teams are using other forms of racing to develop their cars. I kind of like the traffic in the pits.
Red Bull is so far ahead of the remainder of the field it is not funny. In the spring at Monaco Perez crashed into the wall and they lift all the wrecks off the race course. Every team got a really good look at the ground effects on the red bull, not a great day for Red Bull. Before the summer break Mc Claren came out with an upgrade. It was a copy of the floor of the Red Bull. That hurt Red Bull but their lead is pretty large at this time.

we had local F1 track here for years. it was so much fun that weekend, the area would pretty much shut down for the whole week and just party!! that track would have all kinds of racing, stock car ,f1, midgets, motorcycles... pretty much anything. they shut down 15 years or more now... we used to sneak in and run our street cars on the track!!! i miss that place!!

talk about fast pit stops though, those F1 guys know how to get it done!! pressurized fuel, single car jacks.. freakin badass!!! not to mention they create more downforce than they actually weigh. theoretically they could drive upside down!!! imagine that kind of racing... puts a new meaning to head to head!!

i'd luv to drive one!!!

I made some new drip halos for my new batch of eight. the other ones were too big and i didn't draw them so they were very difficult to modify, so i started from scratch and made my own. these print all in one piece and i also printed out matching color tube clamps and this time i made them all a different color...

seems to work great, this size is much better for these airpots... pretty good flow too, i might try some filtered tea through them and see how it works out. if i clog them i can just print new ones, it's only pennies to print.

so with semi auto watering worked out there's not much to do except watch em grow!!!!

Nice dude! Arizona jugs are the standard unit of measurment in my garden lol.

Based on what you are saying you would really enjoy Sprint Cars or Midgets. I really enjoyed the times I had around them. When I was like 13 or so I went to my first Midget race. My neighbor sold tires so I would go with him and help out and make a couple bucks. He would have me take out the studs they would use to keep the tire from spinning on the rim and stuff. Later I got a job in high school working at at a sprint and midget chassis shop. I was basically the janitor and I would roll up the welding rigs and sweep up the shop. No one was really around because there was a fab building and a car building shop so I kind of had the place to myself. I taught myself how to Tig Weld and I remember I was making aluminum wheels for my ucontrol model air plane and the neighbor from across the street came in when I was cutting the second wheel. He is like what the F are you doing. You cannot be doing that so he made me stop. I would go to the races and work on the company car. I was getting my pit pass one time and an official asked me how old I was and he said you got to be 18 to be in the pits so I ended up in the stands that race. After that we would get off the freeway a couple off ramps before the track and I would jump in the trailer and sneak into the pits. I had to clean the car, not fun on a dirt track, fuel the car and change the rear gear. Sprint cars and Midgets run on menthenol so they eat like 30 to 40 gallon in a main for a sprint car.

you know it man!! strong, durable, and a full gallon!!!

thanks Anthem, i'm gonna test out my new brewer piece and make some tea and try it out in those rings and see how it goes...

so what did ya think on last nights race? that barrel roll was insane!!!!!

No pink?

no, i didn't have any pink.. when i switched from red to white i left some in the nozzle hoping it would make pink for ya but it didn't really work.



but man that purple and green i got is gonna make some great halloween stuff!!!!! hey i was pretty shocked that i actually had eight different colors!!! those are all in + too!!!

bro that race ended up sucking for both our teams...

.

I put my new press jack in....



looks like shit, none of the couplers fit right, the springs are to weak, it's still a pita to use... about the only cool thing is the release knob i printed!!! haha

so i spent some time on it... rearranged everything, and gave it a slick paint job...



then i called in pimp my squisher and they made it a mean mean squishin machine!!!!!!



complete with two speed pump action, pressure gauge, magnetic parchment holder, lighting, and oh yeah a fuckin war chain!!!!!!

can't wait to take it for a test drive and make some goo!!!!!

I just finished watching the race this morning. Those were some really violent barrel rolls. I mentioned somewhere I worked at a Chassis shop that made Sprint Cars and Midget. Chassis. That was like 40+ years ago, what I am getting at is that when I first started seeing cars barrel roll like that I thought the driver would get really hurt. The thing is the barrel rolls absorb energy so now I realized barrel rolls can be a good thing. But that was pretty violent. Back when I would go to the track that was before Hanz devices and what was killing guys was going into the wall backwards. I believe that is what killed Dale SR.

Oh and I think Bandits #1 had the best car, that last slow pit stopped hurt him beyond what he could make up. Did you see the way Chase and company almost split the field. I think he was holding some back but once he got out of position he was screwed.
Also it looks like @Bandit420 BFF is in on points!!!!

"War Chain" has me rolling!!!

I can't resit dropping a blacked out themed squishin' playlist now :

oh for sure the rolls are a lot better than stopping fast thats for sure. and at least it was the grass at that. i wonder if he wore one of those digital mouthpieces?...

hell yeah!!!

one more...

i think i might be the only one with my passion for black the way i have.. and yeah i get those people now and then that say black's not a real color... i always say no it isn't it's a way of life!!!

i'm going to add a set of springs to help open it up a little faster, it's fine for just doing one press and wait but for back to back it tool some muscle to pull the piston down. i gotta pick up some hardware tomorrow and it should work better.

not that it don't already look like ice (kudos brother!) , but man i'd love to get my da polisher on that!!!!

so i got a new toy alert... a couple weeks ago i was talking about if the 275 could veg out my plants long enough. i still think it could but i went out looking for a second 275, couldn't find one used at all but scored a crazy good deal on this gem in showroom condition!!



everything works on it, it was dropped for sure... battle tested maybe.. idk but for $123 i took a chance!!! i think it's a second gen, you would know better than me but it has the higher kelvin color white where my other two have the hps yellow looking white.



now i have the flexibility to do whatever i want. i could even flower in that cabinet too if i wanted to.

it's the second day of week two for the new batch...



and the first day of week seven for the old batch....











had a few crashed against the wall so i got to use a couple yoyos!!! more like yeah yeahs!! they work great so far.
