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

Morning fam!

I've been absent, had a nasty cold for a week I'm just now getting over. Missed Thanksgiving with family and everything 😔

Cold AF here... Lung room got down to 62 yesterday, lights off.

So this is my first go for making chocolate.... Still happy with outcome. Came out of mold clean. I have a few tricks to try to do better next time, higher fat cocoa or add a lil infused coconut oil to raise fats.

I touched the top right before picture and didn't realize till after the pic that you can see it, oh well

I made two bars, 3.5 for each.

Man what a cook you are! Chocolate looks lovely, love the wrapper, totally love the chicken pot pie a fantastic looking crust!
 
Got a new cat 2 weeks ago from the shelter.
She is still finding places to hide during the day but sleeps with us every night.
I thought I was hide and go seeking champ especially living in this house for 30+ years..
NOPE~!:ROFLMAO:
They say the shelters are so overrun you can name your own price~!
1 year old female spayed ,shots and chipped $35.
Just over a year since we lost our last pet.
She seems to like me almost as much as my wife~!:rolleyes:

Always happy to see the shelter animals get a home. It’s a terribly sad time for animals. People can’t afford to feed them and they are being dumped at alarming rates. Our area out here is the worst for it. We have even had ppl turning horse’s loose.
That’s how I got every cat that I have. Finally they are all spayed and neutered, at least stop that much of the chain.

Holy smokes! Man, what a pitch! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I’m prepping to bag all of my seedlings. So far, so good!
I got rid of my humidifier that had to have filter changes. The filter was running eighty dollars and needing changed about every six weeks due to lime and calcium content of my well water. This new one is a pain in the ass to clean, but much cheaper to run.
Do you add balls to your water? (No remarks from the joke section) this helps a lot!View attachment 31787

Do they work? Have you used them? I'm interested if they do. I see 4+ stars but there's quite a few that are saying they don't and they still get white dust......That's amzon reviews...what's your take?

IMO the only way to eliminate 'white dust' with ultrasonic humidifiers is to use RO water. 0 TDS.
I use an evaporative humidifier that put none of that in the air.
They are just not practical for all with tents, but even have a 1 gallon model I used for my 4x4.

I only use RO water in my humidifiers but I was hoping maybe these little units could save me a trip to buy water

Is it just me? or does anyone else not want a red glowing element in their heaters? Anything that emits light can't be a good idea in the grow space. Are they saying the infra red light doesn't affect plants?

I don't think those ceramics glow red. It might be just for the ad to show people it hot there. I point mine away from the plants anyway. Don't like direct heat going on my plant in tiny tent.

I have an osculating fan over my fined heater to keep air moving. I had / have an old osculating heater with 2 glowing elements just like the pic so I assumed...

So far, so good. It really seems to help with the lime and calcium buildup. That’s an ongoing problem for me with my well water. I’m still cleaning the unit once a month, but it sure don’t have all the build up, like the filtered one does.

You should run ro or distilled water in your humidifier to prevent any scale.

I would love to be able to do that. However, I don’t have a RO system, and the closest Walmart is 90 miles round trip. This thing burns through on average two gallons a day (it holds 4.5 gal) meaning 14 or so a week.
I’ll just break her down once a month clean her and keep adding balls. First one I have ever had that actually takes the humidity to where I want it and holds it there.

Damn once a month is nice...mine gives me a damn weekly reminder to my phone and doesn't stop til I unplug or clean it....every damn Sunday. It's mad annoying. Wonder if I could run some pool shock in it or not....something to combat the slime and mold from forming...anyone?

Idk. I wont use it in the tent, looks like a good back up heater is all lol.
I cant even find any info on it so thankfully it was free! 🤷🏻🤣

I have a cheap RO system from Amazon that attaches to hose bib outside for like $60. Makes like 5 gallons an hour.

Hydrogen peroxide would kill any pathogens. I was theorizing that using a humidifier with h2o2 might kill mold spores in the tent but that is just a crazy stoner idea.

Yea I'm going to have to really bare down and figure that out. I ran a little cap full in there and it still by the week mark started to show signs of pink mold. Need to figure out what it holds gallon wise and how much h2o2 to neutralize it properly. I wanted better results than I got the first time....it did help though could have got another bit from it but I changed it anyway.

Maybe it needs to be added every so often I think it dissipates or off gasses or some process of basically going away lol

You can get food grade 29% h2o2. I'm pretty sure it burns off fairly rapidly so I'd imagine apply every 3 or so days to keep the res clean.

Yea I'd imagine once a week added isn't enough...I think I read it basically bonds to any bacteria right away killing it and in a few hours is dissipated

Is your humidifier in the light or something. I usually don't get growth in mine. Mine has a darker tinted water tank.

I have a reptile style with a long hose so you can keep it outside of the tent like the ac infinity.

Yea, it's in my tent. It's a smoked clear tank, not clear but not blacked out....hmmm I wonder tho. I'll spray paint that sumbich

Come in here tomorrow with a rhino-liner covered huey 😂

Here you go.

AQUATICLIFE RO Buddie 3-Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System, RO Unit 50 GPD https://a.co/d/2eQxB9x

It says 50 gallons a day but I get more like around 5 gallons in 70 minutes. If you need it faster they have 100gpd units for slightly more.

I don't worry about replacing the carbons because they are more for taste and the RO filters last a long time.

If you spray it you won't be able to see the water color, looking through my tank blue water good, green water bad. then I use vinegar to clean it. . I didn't think about light through the humidifier though, maybe a cardboard sleeve to fit over the tank like a double cup for hot coffee.

Oh thank you! Chocolate could be better, just thankful I avoided chocolate seize. I need to keep the heat a little lower next time I think and higher fat content will help out with a better melt and mold fill. Just gave away both bars today to some friends, one is saving for new years with his wife. He better, cause I gave them an ounce for a baby shower that he smoked all of before she gave birth...

I was thinking about sharing this amazing chili recipe with you guys on here that I just discovered. Coworkers said it could win a contest. The really cool thing about the chili is that it has zero chili powder, just a butt load of real chilis!!!

Im in a good habit of taking the tank off and looking in the base where most build up occurs but yea I'm really not gonna spray it lol...I do have black plastic sheeting and tape tho hmm

I bought a cheapish 4 stage unit about $175. After I got it and read the manual I sent it back at my cost $28. The waste water was like 5 -1 there were 3 filters and a chemical pack to drop the ph down to zero. All need to be replaced on a regular basis, every 3-4 months or less. It was the waste water that through me off it though,I'm on a well needing at the time10 gal every 3 days I'd be dumping 50 Gal at a time. Too much for me to waste in the summer months especially

Yeah. Ro has waste water because it has to rinse the RO part. You could keep the waste and water some outside plants with it or something. I've never seen a chemical part. That would be costlier than the little 3 part one. RO water is like 99c a gallon at the store so I figure once I get 60 gallons it's all gravy.

Granny these are not cheap but well worth their cost. They are true 2 to 1 units. The GX200 is 200 gallons a day and the filters will last you over a year.

Ok H202 needs to be installed daily to be in force.

10mil. to 1 gallon should kill everything.
H202 dissipates completely in 24 hours.
It becomes oxygen and water.
So you may need to add it a couples days in a row if the unit is not cleaned up first.

Thank you for this. I don't have RO but hope I will be and to setup in new place next year.

2:1 ratio is amazing!!! I had stayed away from them due to waste water, but I can live with 2:1
