You ever try taking a terp pen and slurping it off the paper when it drips like that?
I saw a video of it and now I wanna try it.

I buy those jars in bulk too and yeah they have a weird habit of vaporizing like socks in a dryer.
When I fill they seem to always weigh out to 4 grams so now I don't even weigh. I know if I filled a jar, it's 4g in the bank
 
This is how a broadcast should be!!!
It looks so fun on TV I wanna be there.
The nextflix show isn't worth keeping the sub man. It's ok but it's going south for me mostly because of Ryan Blainey's wife. I see that bachlorette party culture so often around town and especially at our football games I can't stand bitches acting like that just because they're drunk on fucking White Claw and shit.
Other than that it's confirmed, Joey Logano has a shit ton of man-toys.
But I'm liking this Prime takeover! Looking forward to NBC as well and just happy Fox isn't doing Cup anymore this year.
CW came out of the gate with some hiccups but they respond every week to suggestions on Reddit and have done many of them making it a much better broadcast. They seem to be getting better each week

the 4k looks better than fox on my tv...

no rewind or ffw on any commercials though, tried to rewind and go back and wouldn't let me.. thats some bullshit!! good thing i got a mute button!!

even if i don't get to see that on netflix i can always download it from my bootleg torrent site.. they have everything netflix airs. and we might still grab it for a month down the road.. no contracts or anything so just blow $30 and catch up for a month. been nothing but international stuff for a long time anyway.. lips in one language and dubbed english overtop kinda bugs me, like watching old kong fu shows!!

there are some wound up cazy drunk fans at the track right now!!!!! hahahahhaha

hope larson has a better 600 than the 500!!! he better race brisky clean at the start!!!!! he dirtied up enough for the day.. time to get focused!!!

Picture looks great here. Doing a 3way broadcast with max on the bedroom TV, prime in the living room, and the sirius radio out back. Radio is the best and simulcast would be perfect.
IDK if they're synced up and don't care! Just enjoying a live race day for the first time in a long time.
'Bout to light the grill and pour some thca seltzer in my tea and fire up a fatty!
Go ;bris ;rockb

it was great and i was loving it till i wasn't. as you would say,

it was a double shit!!!! i take those sometimes too!!! hahaha

Me seeing an A&M sponsored car in the wall

View attachment 103021

larson was back there racing with him and i kept trying to key in on the mic and say clear high.. to put that a&m car in the fence!! haha

briscoe had a great night!! his incar drives me nuts being mounted inside like that, i kept moving my head side to side trying to see around the windshield supports!!

i'm a little surprised the 1 car dirtied it up, thats a move i'd expect from the 11.. i didn't watch any after race stuff. hoping prime will let me resume if i want to later this week. no biggie if they don't.

on to nashville..

Bouncing round thru all the feeds, I settled in on Prime.
When Hocevar dropped the live F bomb and there was no apology or awkward cutaway I knew NASCAR had finally found a good broadcast partner. Fuck broadcast and cable TV, the damn cowards. Another reason I stream everything is get away from censorship.

The sound...Who knew V-8s could be piped in to make you feel like you're at the track and not muted? Great job on sound and proof that Fox has shitty equipment. The new soundbar here was up to the challenge and made us feel like we were in a suite at the track.

The comparison between production people in the TV trucks and the equipment they use was oceans apart. That really showed because Fox has been using the FS1 truck package for Cup and yesterday was like Prime brought a Super Bowl or World Series level of production package to the track. Even when Fox rolls out everything for Daytona it still comes up way short compared to Prime.

The booth. I like Harvick, Joy, and Boyer but they don't make a good booth. The dumb jokes, lame puns, friction between Harvick and Bower all the time, Harvick being a newb, Joy forgetting names and where he's at is just bad. Then they brought in Jamie McMurray as if that would help and that guy just sucks.
NASCAR on Fox straight up punishes people for watching and was the main reason I always DVR a Fox race. I wont even get into those commercials on Fox and another reason to DVR anything aired by Fox. Prime commercials were all race centric or national brands you know and not weird culty shit from Fox.
Jr and the boys up there having fun like kids, they obviously get along off track and it's not forced. The knowledge and graphic animation to explain is like NASCAR college for a newbie like me.
Edwards and Lajoie? Who knew they would be that good?! I enjoy Carl Edwards and know I woulda been a fan of his if our paths met while he was still racing.
It was also funny to see Prime get all the talent from Fox and NBC. It showed big-time IMO.

Post race was awesome! No cut away early to the stupid ass Farmer Needs A Wife or other fucking brain melting dumb ass reality TV show. Just lingering around for all the post race celebration and stuff we never get to see. It went for so long Chastain was pretty hammered on Busch lite and bloated by watermelon by the end of it. 😋

From what it looks like on Reddit, NASCAR is gaining new fans and curious people into the sport with the move to stream on Prime. Streaming is the now and the future while cable TV is dying on the vine.
The new Earnhardt series has got some eyes from curious people interested and the race hooked them. Larson's double also got some outsiders curious even though that was such a dud in the end.
BTW you hear his interview on the radio? Doesn't sound like he wants to do the double again but did say he wants to run the Indy500 again. IDK just with interviews along the way and that beef he has with F1 guys I think just to prove he's the best driver ever he eventually goes to Indicar and maybe even F1. He's the type of guy I could see having a goal to win a race in every profession race series going. Hell I'm surprised he's not racing a top fuel dragster sometimes or has he?

Surprised the 1 got it...I'll see the replay...
 
This comparison between cable and streaming is nuts!
Fox/Cable had 53 more minutes of air time but only one more minute of race action. Nearly an entire xtra hour of nothing but commercials.
Time to start administering last rites to cable tv.

Hey guys, I saw this and thought it up your alley, something you can print off? with your 3D Printing? or like this guy?

i thought all the production crew and announcers were all Turner employees and prime is just streaming it? i think prime just has a contract with turner network and doesn't run the show. kinda like prime originals, they just buy the rights to air exclusively.

i'm not sure who owns the incar cams.. i think maybe the individual teams pay for those maybe.. the announcers always thank the team for providing in car action. and it would make sense why some are in different positions and different kinds. i like the left side swing cam for in the pits, thats freakin cool getting to watch the crew on pit stops!!

i'd like to see mike joy, jr, and jeff gordon in the booth together. pretty much everybody else annoys me and i at least talk shit at least once out loud at the tv!! and not just in racing man, i'm talking most of sports!! if collinsworth ever moved to nascar i'd probably stop watching it!! haha

damn!!! and even more impressive that they compared it to 2022 and not the rain fest last year,, thats almost shameful kind of numbers!!

i'm good at tuning out ads.. a couple times i hit mute or left the room and noticed how much quicker it was on.

i wish all the series had incar on max.. i wouldn't even watch the broadcasts if that were the case! haha.. just engine sounds and race cars, thats all i need!!

i watched Briscoe get the pole today!!!!! all kinds of track records broken!!!

Hey guys, I saw this and thought it up your alley, something you can print off? with your 3D Printing? or like this guy?


thats pretty cool man!! i've seen others similar made out of wood before. all great till that first time the kid leaves it outside in the rain!!!

my printer only makes things up to 220mm square so maybe a buggy for a sider or something!! haha


.

i owe you guys an update of some of the changes i have, along with a harvest coming up. i need to catch up on y'alls threads first though..

my rain water is/was a problem and there was/is in fact something in it. i've recently cleaned it out and refilled it with bleach and proxide. i wasn't able to wash out the inside the barrel so i just used the bleach and h2o2.. i haven't filled the blue barrel inside up yet. just a little concentrate in there. i plan to fill it tonight.

more on this later...
 

harvest time!!! gonna chop any day now... plants have suffered and i have not done well this round. i thought i overfed and then i thought maybe it was too much light and burned them but now i think it was my water and whatever nasty i had in there.

last week i dumped out my rain collector and my rain barrel downstairs. i tipped over the big rain collector and got my pressure washed in there and got it down to bare plastic and flushed it all out. i then put on a new carbon pad over the opening. i also put some peroxide and bleach inside and filled the rain barrel downstairs with this same solution. i'm not able to pressure wash the barrel, it only has a 2" opening. so just hoping the h2o2 kills off whatever was in there. since then i've been using my tap water for the plants. they've slightly improved since then and have had a very rough life. a couple are starting to hermie so i've decided to chop. i'll end up with less than half of what i was shooting for but half is better than nothing. the ones i will get something out of smell awesome so hoping they end up decent smoke.

some pics as of right now.. terrible...

after the chop i will ozone cloud and UV clean both cabinets and the whole basement a few times maybe with a couple days empty and then start seeds for the next round. i'll be starting seeds for both soil and hydro and see if i can't get a healthy grow. this is probably he best time of year for me to start so hoping to just leave this round in the ashes and just move forward.

i'll post some pics of the harvested buds, i'm sure they'll at least look a little less eye cringing once i trim off the junk.
 
I hope you get these issues worked out.
Hard to guess what could be in your water.
All the haze/ smoke from wildfires has me wondering.
I read this and it made me think that ash could cause lockouts possibly like a Ca overdose.
Because wood ash is about 70 percent calcium carbonate, it will do the same thing lime does, but even more quickly because its particle size is so much smaller.

Good thing is it is a weed that really does love stress.
I have had my share of sideways finishes but always seem to have great buds smoke wise.

hmm.. ya know the rain collector did have a film or coating on the inside from something. wasn't nearly as clean as i thought it was. and then after i changed the carbon mat even after just the first rain you can see it was already capturing quite a bit. i think i need to just stay on top of this part and not let in any large particles. today was just the first time it rained since then.

006.JPG007.JPG

since this has now bit me in the ass i just need to stay on top of it and make sure it stays clean. once bitten twice shy kinda thing.

i still have two mason jars filled with the old water untreated and i fully plan to have it tested at a lab. i wanna get my well water tested right away too. been quite a few years.

and to be fair it may have not been the water. a few days after i gave them the heavy feeding and cranked the lights up i saw burn from some. thinking it was just the nutes i continued on. at this point i was kinda side tracked with the hydro issues. then after a couple weeks i saw they were still bad and getting worse so then i thought well maybe it was the lights, seemed like only the ones under the hot core spot was torched. raised them up and lef em go for a while and slowly the rest of em started to burn too. i'm just assuming it's the water.

still gonna inspect heavy for russet mites as i chop. i plan to look at one leaf from each branch and go from there.

also found some crud stuck to the inside of my humidifier housing. i had been using that same water in that. i could have even been foliar feeding the bad stuff in the water if there was in fact any in there along with feeding it to the roots.

just going to clean everything really well and try again.
 
You've brought up some really interesting things bout your water man.
Rain can be quite nasty but it depends. Like city rain or rain falling thru industrialized areas picks up all kinds of shit on it's way down. Like up high in elevation it's good and clean but other areas it's roulette.
Used to just be maybe acid rain where it falls and picks up crap giving it an extremely low pH well below it's natural 7.0 but nowadays all kinds of shit is picked up from the air when rain falls thru it with pollution and what not.

Also sounds like you found that dirty little nasty secret hueys like to hide with that weird snot slime that develops on internal parts. When it dries it becomes a crusty like crud. That scares me bro.
I had been using one for what I thought was flu that turned pneumonia and sent me to the hospital. Later on was gonna use it again thru my recovery at home but when I took it apart to deep clean I found all the slime and crud. That fucker went straight to the garbage and I'll never use another after what I saw in there but if I do that thing will get cleaned every time it's refilled.
It's really a case study in why to not use water that comes something like a humidifier, deheuy tank, and AC evap run off. That water is loaded with germs and disease.

Maybe a smaller tank and faster turnover could also help. I think that helps me....burning thru about 10-15 gallons a day has me refilling my 55 gallon drum every few days. I treat it's pH there and since my adjuster is molasses and apple cider vinegar it clouds up then also keep a mosquiot dunk in there as well as a pump to keep it moving and turn it over.
I wouldn't want to drink it but it holds fresh for a few days. But yeah if it's been there for a few days or more and I see anything off like slime or an off putting algae, or even just dirty looking I'll dump the tank and clean it up.
 
Everyone has a bad run every now and then, look at the nightmare that is my current grow, its like a building site weed patch. :ROFLMAO:

i'm with ya man.. could have been better, could have been worse. hey at least i don't have mites!!! i scoped and i'm confident!

i know you feel yours is taking a bit longer than normal. you're not alone in that one.. this grow here was exactly nineteen weeks in total from seed.

but the deed is done and the cabinet is clean.. i've already sprayed it down with avid bug spray for prevention and tomorrow i will blow it out good with my compressor and then ozone/UV-C, then spray again, and a final wipe down with soapy water.

i'll be starting the next round early this week.

one thing that has me thinking is maybe it had something to do with the large amount of rain we've been having.. not much snow last winter so our water table is still low so i'll take it but it's been a ridiculous about of weeks we've had with rain.. like seattle kind of rain!!

maybe it saturated something evil that doesn't normally get wet, or overflowed and carried something in that isn't normally in the path of water... i kind of think it's how i got the algae in there. it wasn't always in there, it's kinda recent. not the cause of my problem but maybe got carried in the collector the same way.

i have a few theories most of them are out there but still possible. maybe a water test will tell us!

yup, same kind of thing man.. this is after i scrubbed it as much as i could and it still left the crud, this is right where the first bit of fog start travelling through the machine...

and i even got in there good with my french tickler toilet brush!!! hahaha

yeah i think you're right man, just need to stay on top of the cleanings and hope the peroxide worked for now and just keep up with it better on the cleanings and refills.

.

good luck to the 19 team!!! maybe the 19 and 5 will be door to door at some point!!!!

i'm pumped for next week in meh-he-co!!! that track looks badass, i bet there's no bumps!!

I wonder if this would work it keeps my res super clean
 
Would white vinegar help with the stains? Maybe PH down?

maybe... i don't know i didn't really give it a real effort yet. i'm sure if i tool it upstairs and washed it with hot water and soap it would come off. i didn't get that far yet.. it's still downstairs and a wet rag and toilet brush wasn't enough. just being lazy with it is all... i don't need to use it again till december or january so got time to scrub it off. it's now the time of year where i fight high rh.. personally i'd rather deal with high rh versus low.

I wonder if this would work it keeps my res super clean

ya know i have something very similar but i never really gave it a thought to use. maybe now once it's cleaned well to help keep i clean. think that stuff is mostly acids i believe.

.
.

i was very happy to not see any bugs so i am moving forward with the growing and no reason to really wait. and guys i tried to find a russet mite as hard as i could. i scoped over a dozen leaves from each plant and spent a good two hours just inspecting and searching. i found absolutely nothing.. it was the fuckin happiest two hours i ever wasted in my life!!!!! not kidding!!! at first each one went with a sigh and a deep breath but as i got further and further along and not seeing anything i was actually doing a happy dance by time i got to the last handful of leaves to check.

so after the harvest the first thing i did was spray the proper amount of Avid miticide on all the walls, ceiling, and floor. the next day i opened it up and used my compressor to blow out all the vents in the lights, fans, and all the exposed wood. (this worked awesome i will do this from now on forever!) then i washed everything with hot soapy water from the top to the bottom. then i blasted it with my heavy duty ozone generator for about 30 minutes and completely clouded the cabinet while the UV was blasting from the outside. then i switched places and blasted the inside with UV.

this is probably the cleanest it's ever been and i would like to make this my after grow regiment every time!

put my table back in and now i'm ready to go already!!!! so last night i dropped the next round!!! 21 seeds loaded up!!!!! the most i've ever started at once!!

now germinating:

The Shine - Capt Redbeard - two for hydro and one left over for soil.
Honey Fried Bananas - Anesia
Glowberry Rush - Anesia
Purple Lobster - Anesia
Privileged Baddie - Anesia
Elementz - Anesia
Berry Widow - unknown local breeder

just need to mix up some soil yet, nothing needed to buy just some of my time.

i'm with ya man.. could have been better, could have been worse. hey at least i don't have mites!!! i scoped and i'm confident!

i know you feel yours is taking a bit longer than normal. you're not alone in that one.. this grow here was exactly nineteen weeks in total from seed.

but the deed is done and the cabinet is clean.. i've already sprayed it down with avid bug spray for prevention and tomorrow i will blow it out good with my compressor and then ozone/UV-C, then spray again, and a final wipe down with soapy water.

and the haul....

i'll be starting the next round early this week.

thanks for lookin in my man!!!



one thing that has me thinking is maybe it had something to do with the large amount of rain we've been having.. not much snow last winter so our water table is still low so i'll take it but it's been a ridiculous about of weeks we've had with rain.. like seattle kind of rain!!

maybe it saturated something evil that doesn't normally get wet, or overflowed and carried something in that isn't normally in the path of water... i kind of think it's how i got the algae in there. it wasn't always in there, it's kinda recent. not the cause of my problem but maybe got carried in the collector the same way.

i have a few theories most of them are out there but still possible. maybe a water test will tell us!



yup, same kind of thing man.. this is after i scrubbed it as much as i could and it still left the crud, this is right where the first bit of fog start travelling through the machine...

yeah i think you're right man, just need to stay on top of the cleanings and hope the peroxide worked for now and just keep up with it better on the cleanings and refills.

.

good luck to the 19 team!!! maybe the 19 and 5 will be door to door at some point!!!!

i'm pumped for next week in meh-he-co!!! that track looks badass, i bet there's no bumps!!

Just my wheels turning here but I wonder if that slime would develop with RO water. Might be worth it to use bottled water in hueys.
I remember mosquitoes not wanting anything to do with my tank of RO. Like the water has to have something in it like dirt and nitrates for them to want to lay eggs so the cleaner the water, the less they want it.
I also know RO is best in ice machines and coffee makers but that usually has to do with scale and calcium build up and using water void of those to keep internal parts clean.
 
Why not install RO system?

RO/Filters > micron filters > resevoir (inject o2 with concentrator or bubble significantly) no more bacterial growth.

Uv filter/hypo acid/h2o2/high DO (15-40mg/l), treated, oxygenated clean water ready for use.

I'd hope not, no minerals or organic matter for nutrition for other organisms.

i agree man, the RO would eliminate a few variables for me.. but wheres the fun in that!! haha no seriously though it would take a lot out of the possibilities of it or something else happening to the rain water. i'm not saying no to RO but i am gonna shelf the idea for now. it's at least something i need to shop and impulse buy. because if my scenario i would need more than just a filter. thanks to Grump for filling in the blanks for me and what i would need to use my well water to convert to R/O. i would need a booster pump. and need to be careful where i mounted it because i don't have a good drain downstairs, it's just a french drain and can't handle that kind of volume. i even pump out my hydro system because it overflows the drain in the basement. i'll leave that drain for my dehuey and for when i need to pee real bad!! haha

what i would really like to look into is if it's possible to run my rain water through an R/O filter? i need to research the booster pumps more and learn everything about them and if i could possible set that up. if so, i would probably do that!

i'm just not fond of all the water i wastes. just against my ethics is all and it the real deal breaker ATM and not the cost.

i'm also curious how much money it would cost me to just run sterile for a while. i bet it's only $15-$20 in peroxide cost. i know i'd have to keep buying it but i;d also have to keep buying new ro filters and new pump when it breaks. long run maybe the h2o2 is cheaper. like i said just curious, not saying i'm convinced on one or other. i personally haven't even decided if i;m gonna run this next hydro in sterile or live, i'm 50/50 on the fence right now and i'm in no hurry to decide yet.

as for the soil plants i;ll go right back to living soil instantly.. i already have enough treated water to last almost that whole grow. i'm gonna start it out on my well water, it won't bee till flowing where they use enough water that it will become a pita, and maybe by then i replace my spigot on my water tank so i can conveniently use my well water. got options so i don't feel stuck at least.

.

a big part of this is not letting get this bad again.. it worked for a long time, it will work again. i just can't ever let the inlet mat get this fuckin disgusting again... embarrassed to say ( and show) , there's a worm in it!!! and you know they lonly like the grossest good to live in!!!

speaking of drama....

"the classic 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 would return to its production lineup. Kuniskis acknowledged the company had erred in dropping the Hemi powerplant — “Ram screwed up when we dropped the Hemi. We own it and we fixed it,” he said — and that customer feedback was key to bringing it back. The engine returns with a new “Symbol of Protest” badge — a ram’s head emerging from a V-8 block — to the revived branding, and the company’s NASCAR return is the next phase of its focus on automotive muscle."

yeah right... american muscle?!!? last time ANY car manufacturer had some of that, Lee Iacocca was in charge!

seriously?? hemi in america,, a fuckin joke!! it needs 16 spark plugs just to pass any emission standards whatsoever, eight for the engine and then another eight just to ignite all the left over fuel in the exhaust system. what a scam!!! just leave the hemi's for racing and quit making boat anchors in road vehicles!

bet dodge spent over 3 million in that new "badge" and it probably took like 20 people to come with it... and they're fuckin proud and doing high fives!! fuckin idiots!!!!

sometimes i really wish i didn't know so much about cars and could just wear blinders when it came to bullshit! haha
