CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

[MDK]

Just another lovely day in this swamp ass area lol. Trying with all my might to fight the moisture slowly creeping up in my basement from the rain...

I'm ready for snow for real lol

My son the bruiser he is, kicked the cool air return vent off the wall in the hallway....just had screws thru the drywall...today I install anchors should keep him from pulling it off again....I hope

46% and rising in my tent....been trying to keep it low and see how that goes, 45% and under has been where I'm aiming....sometimes it gets higher tho. I should be around 50-55% but I haven't really seen much downside at the 40-45% range.

Had a couple buds that started to get bud rot last time in the tent. Hopefully not this time

Im a fan of the 40-45% range for flowering too. I like 62% for veg though lol

 

[CannaGranny]

I run 50-60% up until midflower, then I cut it to 35-40% to force it to have a defense response and build trichs. So I’m reaching the point that low is what I’m after, always so nice after fighting to keep it higher. Gonna be a big fight this winter with my dry azz heat running.

 

[Dirtbag]

I read this and thought a ford one ton (f350) would have a better chance

I have one of those too, but haven't bagged a deer with it yet.

For real! Even getting it up to 50% is an accomplishment for me this time of year. I need a bigger humidifier for sure.

Just an update on Captain Redbeards genetics. I always appreciated the speed of the turn around. Go online, chose your genetics, pay online and here they come.
Last week I got a Black Friday 35% off coupon from him. Didn’t really need anything, but hey 35% off is 35% off. Went in and ordered a new one of his called Biscotti Blond. The cart went through just like always, until we reached the place to pay out. Then a msg pops up and tells you, you must pay via, cash, money order or check. I’m kind of miffed at this point as I have been paying via an online source for a couple of years now. Good thing I didn’t need it now, as this slowed the process way down.
A few days later I got a mail from Redbeards saying a certain pymt platform had seized his account, took all of the funds and refunded them to the customers. Asking anyone that has bought seeds since Oct 10th, to please pay for them again, once they were refunded the money. (My big order was Oct 7th, YAY). I sure hope folks that did buy from him pays him!
Anyways, this post is in no way meant to dis the Captain. I have no complaints about his products. Top Notch.
Just I have always touted his quick turnaround. This has temporarily changed and you must allow time for turn around now. Time to mail the pymt, and to get the order back.
The Captain and his crew are working to take care of this. I’ll update when we are back in the speedy process.

I have one of those too, but haven't bagged a deer with it yet.

So do I. A 1986 model. Has a dump bed on it. My Dad gave it to me when we bought this place to haul gravel for my drive. She gets about eight miles to the gallon! Has a 460 in it.
I wouldn’t trade it for a tea shop in China.
Were I a deer, I would be very afraid!

When you get ready to buy one, hit me up and I’ll get you the info on the one I have. Been the best so far, for a 160.00 investment. Been running it close to a year now. If you tent grow it can easily be set up to literally blow the moisture in. Just make sure you do good air exchanges.

Yea and if i remember, it has a big ass deer/snow plow on front

 

[CannaGranny]

One more thing, the unit is slender and tall, not using up a lot of space.

Nice, the older ones are real gems. Perfect for a dumper.
Mines a 1999 flat deck dually, I have a hydroseeder mounted on it in the summer and use it for snow plowing in the winter.
Gets similar mileage to yours with the 6.8L V10

Mine has no plow. If I have to get out, we use the tractor to plow out, if my Toyota truck won’t pull out of here. So far in 18 years she has got the job done every time.
Most of the time being snowed in is a party back here and I love it! Means not a single soul is going to show up and the peace and quiet are blissfully loud!
A stocked pantry, a fresh moving water source, generator, good smoke and forty pairs of fuzzy warm never let anyone see ya wear them pajamas..that’s when life is all good good in the woods hood!

I had a 99 dually crew 7.3 bought new in 1999 for twice what we bought our first farm for in 1974.

$42,900.00 CDN for the truck $21,500.00 for the farm

Now the farm probably worth 20x that and the truck in this economy would still retain about 66% of its original value. Well in America...idk how Canadian economy is

A little jealous. I used to love the snow, before I started doing commercial snow removal. Now I'm on edge all winter long and the snow gives me anxiety lol

Idk how your stove is shaped, but I remember growing up with a wood stove and my mom would put a big pot of water on top, sometimes with a few cinnamon sticks, to help put moisture in the air. It made the house smell like cider/pie, it was the best!

The heat from the stove is a great way to evaporate water to raise RH for your living space, which makes it feel warmer as well, and good for throats in winter time.

My cats sleep on top of my pellet stove. It doesn't get hot enough to benefit from putting water on it.

 

[Dirtbag]

Angers me that places ban wood stoves. If anything just demand a WETT inspection and chimney cleaning records. They tried to ban them here but we have so many power outages in the winter, it didn't fly. I can't even fathom giving up the wood stove. Nothing compares to the warmth they produce.

 

[MDK]

Morning/afternoon to you granny as well....missed your message at first.

Been weird as of late found myself running heater during day and come evening popping on the ac...and even overnight...waking up kicking on heater....just been odd as hell hard to keep that comfort range. Cool weather on the way I suppose will help make the choice.

Yeah I bet that's the problem, people aren't getting their chimney and flues checked/cleaned

Yeah we used to love wood stove... That thing would get way too hot for any cats to even touch

I've 2 of these and they work pretty good, silent my tent is at 64% right now, I adjust it by setting the mist level then adjusting my exhaust fan to the appropriate speed. It takes a day or 2 to dial them in to work together but I'm at 77.9f @ 64%

I'm hitting up moe for schematics on the one he built...that thing dumps. Would be easy to bring it up to range and kick right back off...with the proper humidity controller I think you could really narrow in the rh% swings to +/- 1 or 2.

After seeing it, I gotta try to make something similar

My rh goes through swings all the time and it doesn't seem to hurt my plants too much. As long as I aim for 60% in veg a few points high or low doesn't bother me and I figure they do outside as well. In a perfect sterilized world It would probably be best to stay at a certain set point for rh but my circumstances don't allow that so I'm not going to stress over it....in my ball park close counts

Basic woodstove maintenance.
My cat jumped on it once when she was a kitten. Only once, and only for a split second before she jumped about 10 feet across the room and landed on the couch haha. She has great respect for the stove now. And much curiosity.
Whenever I get it started she comes over and watches me, inspects the kindling before I light it. Then watches it burn for a good 10 mins.

While i agree with you 100%, the last fire here was not due to fireplace negligence.

The last place that burned down in here was my dads friend. He just cleaned the chimney that week, and cleaned the stove that moening. He started the stove and headed up the road half a mile to the gas station (foolish move) and when he got back his place was completely engulfed in flames....

A log rolled inside the stove, busted out the glass front and caught the floor on fire.

They tried to ban wood burning stoves here in NY too but it didnt fly.

Good thing you caught her in the corner of the pic, or I would have guessed that flame to be something other then wood.

Jesus, how big was the fuggin log?
I've seen a lot of woodstove related incidents but never a log broke through the glass.

The worst I've seen from a stove was when a lady lit it up in the morning, not realizing the pipes going to and from the water jacket were frozen. Water jacket expanded and went off like a bomb just as she was going to turn the damper down. Stove door blew off and hit her in the hands and thighs, blew her clean across the room, blew out every window in the house, shrapnel from the jacket went through the wall and lodged into a wooden dresser. She lived, but took wicked damage to her hands and legs. Was literally like a bomb going off

House is a pellet stove and shop has a wood stove. In a lot of areas in Comifornia either wood burning is banned completely or they have no burn days half the time and write big tickets to the people caught burning on no burn days.

The only way the could ever see my place is from a satellite or drone and unfortunately I don’t doubt that sooner or later Comifornia will do something this expensive and stupid!

Peace out.

2008 F250 V10 Lariat with a 5 way on the front.
Full leather, sky light, power everything. Got a cap and ladder rack. Less then 105,000 miles. Had her probably 12 years now.
8mpg. I want it gone so bad~! I just can't do it. Anybody see what trucks go for today?
But I may have figured how to keep it and use it around the house and on the road legal without inspections or high yearly expense.
Thinking of taking it off the road.
When needed register insure and get a free 10 day inspection. Use it and return the plates when done~!
I actually wonder how many times NY will let me do this..

Never inspected again legal 100%.
Brings real meaning to my new but true signature~!

I have pretty much the same pellet stove that you do, and my glass looks just like yours. Had I known you couldn’t keep it clean, I would have opted out. Otherwise zero complaints. Ambient warm heat like you can only get from a wood stove, zero smell and very few ashes.

Haha, man I hear ya. I have a couple F250's, a 2017 i use as my daily work truck and a 2006 I'm only keeping because, just because. Have you seen the price of trucks these days? Lol.
I figure it might come in handy someday. And if nothing else, it just keeps going up in value. Use it for hauling logs and shit around the property once in a while. Otherwise just start it up once a month or so to keep the engine lubed.

 

[CannaGranny]

Wooooo hoooooo! The two jobs I hate the worst in my house is done. We all have our things. I hate tearing out the fridge, washing all the bins and polishing the stainless. Done! I equally hate washing down all the cabinets. I “needed” all of those cabinets, til I had to clean them all! That too is done!
Now I just have about sixty five things left to do that I don’t mind so much. Well maybe..much.
Smoke more sativa!

My snow trucks, the 2017 F250 has a snowdogg V plow and the F350 has a western wideout. F350 has my Kubota F3060 with a 62" sidewalk plow in the back here. Only use it once the snow stops. Would like to get a cab for it someday, but that's another one of those "have you seen the price of" moments..
