Edit : I think my numbers are off, my dates don't work right in my log. Surprise surprise, I have pics saying Aug 5 at 14 days old July 29th wasn't 14 days earlier. That makes July 20th as ground breaking day, adding 9 more days to their growing turning them 54 days old from breaking ground & 33 days old at flip. Its no wonder I'm having issues growing I can't seem to keep sht straight any longer. Maybe since my head whack? Old age? too much pot? or 1/3 of each?

Welcome to my freaking life.

I get the calendar confusion.

My shoulders started aching this summer and are getting worse by the day. I was active in sports up to mid 40's and then still golfed through my 50's. I played men soft ball until mid 30's as a catcher and threw the ball hard until then. My right shoulder now aches from all that, along with hockey up until i was 45, shoulder hits and what have you have taken a toll. Then there's the thousands of miles cycling and 10.s of thousands of miles on motor cycles that I had accidents with all of them....ya I got me some aches and pains...lol.....no patches though.....tell me more I need some relief at night. What patches can I ask my Dr for when the time comes?

Oh i just have OTC stuff, icy hot or salonpas

Yeah my shoulder is getting me from cycling i think

Just went on a short jaunt this morning, first ride on new Shimano ultegra clip pedals, need to do some adjustments i see, they have adjustable clip release stiffness, and then maybe turn my cleats a little too to be better aligned with my feet

You definitely were more active than I ever was!! Sucks how the shit that keeps you healthy causes aches later in life, ironic

Have you ever flown into a crowd of people on your bike with cleat's locked in? Funny as fk watching us fall over like cartoon characters. I loved cleat's for going up hills but unlocking them fast wasn't an option when I rode and I teetered over a few times when I couldn't get my feet out

So far i only fell once, the very first time i tried them on in the parking lot when i got the bike lol, it was like a cartoon, standing still then plop lol

I always get ready before a red light, and so far no issues. These new ones are even tighter than the last ones, which makes sense they were really old.

So far i really like the lock in, but it is definitely a very weird feeling at first, especially the feeling of using muscles on the up stroke.

You're right they are super helpful for extra power going up hill

Well, now that you mentioned all this, I had a fall for the first time, on my bike, loaded up with 24 cans of cat food from the $ store.
It's cheaper there than online (Purina 9 lives $1.50). Put them all in a cloth bag and bungied them in my bike rack, nice and tight.

Now when I take off on my bike, it's hard to wrap my leg around that rack, espesially when it's piled high with stuff.
So I put my left foot on the pedal and twist the throtle to get her goin' then like a cowboy on a horse, I bring my right leg over
the top and away I go, yippee ki yay.

I am very saftey conscious, but this time, I forgot to look to my left for cars coming out of the parking lot, before I took off.
So my head said "you better look" sooo I did and just at that moment, as I was in motion, the load shifted!
Down I went! Crash into the pavement and I went into rolling mode (like when I was a kid and learned to roll when jumping off garage roof's)

My hip hit hardest and left a huge bruise but I got up embarrassed as hell and proceeded to shake it off, fixed the load and rack and
took off home. Today is the second day and still sore and bruised but wiiser and won't look over my left shoulder while taking off.
I'll do it before my lil cowboy take off lol.

PS; I just put iced tea in my morning coffee instead of half n half.

You painted a perfect picture, I can see it being done......gotta have that stuff on video...maybe $ store has a camera...lol...it'll take a week or two to heal up if it was a bounce off the pavement...ouch, no head whack hey? Do you wear a helmet?

I roll with the punches, but somehow my bikes weight made the fall more awkward and my hip hit first. Getting better but a 8 x 2 inch bruise.
I never liked wearing a helmet on my Harley, but was forced to by law.
I never wore one as a kid, I tried to wear one, but it’s not gonna happen.
So no, I don’t wear a helmet and probably never will, just me. I do wear fingerless gloves though, and that save my hand from some serious road rash, it did catch my elbow though.

My wife used to work there and is friends with the manager. I’ll ask her to see if she can get video of that catastrophe.

I was not a helmet fan either but it is a law here. Good thing cause I'm pretty sure I'd be dead, that whack on my temple would have cracked my brain, there's no doubt about it that helmet saved my life.

Ya I understand but I can't stand them lol
But I was looking at them and might buy a Bump Cap and try that out.

This one is the Green Devil universal bump cap insert for baseball caps, cause I'm always wearing that type hat anyway.
Cause all the helmets I've tried on at walmat really suk.

They erase the film every 24 hrs and don't have an outside cam, Nuts!

As long as it stays on as you fall /if you fall. Mine is a lot like this without the ball cap front. I hit right under the emblem this helmet has. I have a small hole where a sharp rock pierced the plastic to remind me. It has a tightening liner I can adjust to fit securely

Sept 16
It looks like I'm around week 4 in flower. 1 of my Alaska Thunderfuck had to be bent over. it reached my lights 2 days ago. I just bent down at about 1 ft from the top and within a few hrs she was pointing back up.
Before I knew I had mistakenly flipped these I topped a Grape Skunk probably 1 week into flower and its developing a nice pair of twin buds on top.

Today I turned on my green light along with the rest....why you ask??? ...good question. I'll see if I can notice any changes over the next week or 2. Its supposed to enhance the other spectrum's what ever that supposed to mean.

You shared some cool photos.

The bend to keep the ATF out of the light messes with my head. Sometimes I'm surprised at how resilient these plants can be. Other times, I'm dismayed at how delicate they are. I started messing around with training clips this Spring. For some branches, I was sure I would break something, but had no issues. Then, I'd have some that looked like they would be easy to train, that took major damage. It's taking me a bit to work all of that out.

It's going to be fun watching the twin buds develop side-by-side. I see more good photos of that one in our future.

Fun stuff!

Hey Pipe, you going to do anymore wood working? Miss seeing your pipe and pen creations. I know dust and grow space concerns stopped you for a bit but it’s been a while since then.

I finally saved up enough to get a tumbler. Couldn’t find a good size can to make a drum for a DIY one. Screens were pricey too. I found a bubble magic 150g for $380, no tax either, which beats the $799 sticker price.

It’s supposed to be new but looks refurbished. Works well so I won’t be returning it at that price.

If I’d seen yours you posted above I might have checked it out first. You research it at all? Any good or bad reviews?

Hey, I've been thinking on making pipes again. I have an idea to use acrylic pen blanks as mouth pieces. I just have to get at it. I'm really not doing much these days, playing with our boys, taking them for walks or just sitting with them while they're on the line outside. As the weather turns I'll get at it, I hope......Winter days or through long rain spells.

I'd like to bite on the tumbler I posted about. Just $150+ tax. the only review I saw was a guy that used one maybe 10 times and the base had cracked & was no longer working.....Someone wrote of adding a few small rocks, marbles or coins in the drum while turning to agitate the weed better. The next version up on Amzon is like $999.00 or something like that which is a hard no.. They have sifting trays as well that I'd never thought about before, not sure I want to manually sift my sht though.

Ya you can bend them pretty easy up to weeks 3-4 in flower, after that the stems get too hard to pinch and bend easily. Its hard to believe these 3-4 week vegged plants can grow and stretch so much in flower I have to resort to bending her over.

I haven’t been motivated either…not for a while. I get seasonal depression starting every September which doesn’t help.

Acrylic pipe stem sounds like a nice cheat. Save you time working other materials. Is it a health issue or heat safe?

I was going to build one with Stoney’s directions but I couldn’t find a drum big enough. Sons not on garbage anymore at work so no source for industrial size food cans.

I search for cheap solutions once in a while but with little success. The best price I’ve found for the Bubble Magic 150g tumbler is at my local store, $390CND. Next best is is $400 in Ajax.

I was lucky and found a not-so-local store I can drive too where she won’t charge me tax for cash purchases. She ordered me the tumbler for $380 out the door. My limit was $200 but I couldn’t pass that up.

They have sifting trays as well that I'd never thought about before, not sure I want to manually sift my sht though.

I use the trim bin like that. Watch TV and shake as I go. Wife takes a turn too which is nice. Not sure if I’d ever make or buy larger sifting screen though. Glad I bought the tumbler even if I did have to save for it a while.

Before you buy a plastic one see if anyone’s made any 3D printed parts for the one you like. That way if it breaks you have options to fix it. I might be able to print you a part in a pinch.

Make sure you put any material you want to tumble in the freezer for an hour or longer first. Over night is my usual but I’ll put it back in for an hour or so and tumble again up to four times depending on the results. I do this even with the bubble bag and shake it over the trim bin catch tray. Not as good as the tumbler but got me through the first few years of growing okay.

I bought 3 new 5 gal buckets yesterday my old ones are so dirty they're impossible to clean. I'm going to ice hash my hermied sht one of these days soon. I could probably make a tumbler, my only concern is having a motor that could turn the drum slow enough. I have some old motors from old band saws, and a scroll saw but they are single speed, too big and far to fast. I'm just making excuses, If I really wanted to make one I'd just buy the motor and build my own. Its not rocket science is it,

After writing this I started looking for variable speed controllers, wire mesh, bearings....Doable but the $150 tumbler would be cheaper....a good project if I was more energetic. I gotta get my ass moving. I just sit and smoke,play chess,play with the cats, smoke,walk a cat, smoke,chess,eat,smoke,Dr appointment, smoke,ah its Margarita time, smoke,cats,sleep...repeat

Hey, I was kinda hoping to do it this weekend, I froze my weed yesterday, we have to go out today and tomorrow i was going to giver a wash. I'll take pics as I go. One thing I missed was what he squished his washings on to get the water out of it. Cheese cloth is too porous and the washings will stick to it. Parchment /wax paper won't absorb moisture. I'll have to rewatch and see what he used....unless you know. I know I've not done that in the past to remove as much water as possible.

I thought it was cheese cloth, but I'll have to rewatch when I'm finally ready to do it. I'm not sure if everyone does this but i think The following step of refreezing at the end, and then getting it to a powder by a sieve or microplane to do the final dry will eliminate any chance of mold contamination

I was going to build one, thought I had most of the parts. Stoney said I needed a good size can to use as a drum. Also my motor was underpowered. It looked like I could build one for about $200 but hard to find things in Canada. So when I saw the deal for a new one was $380 I jumped on it.

We use the brown parchment paper. Don’t use wax paper.

If the parchment paper get wet/damp it will deform and can rip.

My buds aren’t washed first. I use a jar full of boiling water as a rolling pin to flatten and decarb the kief in the parchment paper. Then I put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. I fold up the hash into a smaller square and repeat once or twice more.

"My buds aren’t washed first." ........I was meaning the wet hash is what should have as much water removed as possible. The video had the guy squash it on some kind of material that removed water but the hash didn't stick to it when done. I've rolled mine into Temple Balls with hot water in wine bottles. I bought 2 not for the wine but the bottle was a perfect shape to use as a rolling pin. I have them stashed here somewhere. The wine was meh but nice bottles.

I’ve never actually made bubble hash. I just used the one or two bags to shake the kief out after putting the bag in the freezer full of trim.

I’ve used two or three different Bicks pickle jars. Just need to make sure the lids on tight.

I made burn proof gloves by putting surgical gloves over winter ones. Nylon or wool will work. Heat eventually gets through but it takes a while and cools quickly when removed from heat.

Once I squish it flat I put the parchment paper into the freezer for 5-15 minutes. Then take it out and get the hash off quickly. Fold it squarely and put it back into the parchment paper to repeat the process for a total of three times.

Haven’t made a temple ball unless you count small ones from finger hash after trimming.

Hope you make a big one over the weekend. Can’t wait to see your pics on the process!

Hey, ya neat idea with the gloves. I used oven mitts and they were awkward to use. I've gone as far as putting my bags in the bucket and my weed is frozen. I just need the ice. I have 3 -1/4lb bags full of material only 2 fit in my fridge freezer, all rough trimmed buds loaded with seeds.

That's a different method from what I did. I placed my bubble hash between folded parchment paper. Not near so the fold the fold doesn't get any gummy shit in it and roll it with the hot water bottle at 175f -195 f, roll flat open, gather into a ball roll flat in the parchment paper again and repeat 10 -15 -20 times until the ball is all shiny, then store like weed.

I bought 2 bottles of wine for the procedure. After drinking them I filled with water and kept on the stove in a double boiler around 200f, I'd use 1 for a bit then swap them out to keep hot . I made a mess the first time learning and lost a lot in the messy process sticking to parchment paper,cheese cloth and everything else. 2nd try went a bit better. I should haver mastered this time eh???...lol...

Fkin cold here this am, 7C I had Dusky sleeping on me again last night, first time in months since he needed the warmth. Nice day now but brrrr 7c with the windows open is a chilly start

Hey, ya neat idea with the gloves. I used oven mitts and they were awkward to use.

That’s why I made these. Better grip and much more flexibility. I was worried I’d shoot the pickle jar across the room with the oven mitts when I push down hard.

I've gone as far as putting my bags in the bucket and my weed is frozen. I just need the ice. I have 3 -1/4lb bags full of material only 2 fit in my fridge freezer, all rough trimmed buds loaded with seeds.

Currently I put trim or flower in large freezer bags. Squeeze out any extra air and zip closed. When I’m ready I dump a bag or two in the bin/drum and start it spinning.

That's a different method from what I did. I placed my bubble hash between folded parchment paper. Not near so the fold the fold doesn't get any gummy shit in it and roll it with the hot water bottle at 175f -195 f, roll flat open, gather into a ball roll flat in the parchment paper again and repeat 10 -15 -20 times until the ball is all shiny, then store like weed.

Not so different. I collect the kief and brush it into a pre folded parchment paper envelope.
I tap it all down to the bottom and place it on the cutting board. I boil water in the kettle and fill the Bicks pickle jar. (I usually keep boiling the same water.)

Next I start rolling the jar across the parchment paper. Jar lid is beside/over the kitchen sink in case it pops off. (I fill it sitting in the sink too.) I try not to roll from top to bottom of the envelope as it will occasionally burst the end. So side to side is best. Once really melted I stop and put in the freezer for a bit to make it easy to take off the paper. I fold it a few times and flatten it out again. Usually three times is good. Then it goes in my container for later use.

I never have more than enough to cover the cutting board. The jar is the perfect size for me to man handle. Only thing I have to watch for is keeping everything dry so as not to rip the paper. The jar stays hot enough for me to do this three times in about 45 minutes, maybe an hour. I don’t really time it.

When I saw it sticking to the paper all the time. I started putting it in the fridge freezer for 5 minutes. Then it peels off like candy. Sometimes bits still stick so I use the hash that came off to dab at the chunks still stuck. 98% comes right off stuck to the hash.

It was colder last night with the windows open but not that cold. Sitting around 22* in the shade at 11:00am.

Good day to get out in the yard and do some work. I’ll have to smoke on it.

I got my first wash done and its sitting waiting now for the second wash. I ran out of ice already 2 bags $4.99 each just covered my weed. I'll run out again for another bag or 2....at another store. I only used 2 of the 3 bags of weed.
