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

recently I’ve been seeing a lot about “federally compliant cannabis”.

hmm, what’s that?

not to exceed 0.3% THC.

WTF? Thats like non-alcoholic beer and uncaffinated coffee/tea? What’s the point?

I don’t toke because it looks cool when I stand on the corner, I want those cannibioids.

I think I’m going to come up with a sceme to sell 0 octane gasoline (rainwater) back to the government.

I’m thinking I’m getting more and more out of touch with this world and the current level of weird.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the LLL, I liked how my plants turned out my last run after a short veg. This run I had issues getting all my seeds popped and growing at the same time so 2, (the ones I'm having issues with) are almost 3 weeks older than the rest. If I can get my girls all healthy at 4 weeks old I'm flipping. I've been vegging too long all along I think shorter with an early flip is the way to go..

I think the box you shipped in may have been too big, They like small and flat. That's why I ordered the DVD case from CaptRB I was thinking that was the safest way. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all you sent in the box I like the stickers too...

I gotta give my boy Dusky his asthma meds ( twice daily 10 puffs 2 timesView attachment 122598)
Mornin Pipe!
I think it stayed in the U S so long as here the month of December is a total mess due to Christmas. I saw once it got out of the US it passed customs pretty quickly. Not to mention that Chicago is a f’ed up mess right now.
 
do you happen to have a clamp meter?

View attachment 122609

if not, these work great for constant monitoring.. i've used this one here quite a few times to find load suckers... it has a magnet built in so it sticks right to the box and just put alligator clips on the power leads and steal power from the box..


one of these days i'm going spoil myself and get one of those thermal meters!!
No I don't have an amp meter, they are not usually needed on residential power. Unbalanced loads are uncommon in homes with such a small load. Other than the dryer and some lights and TV, Fridge we don't have the stove going or Microwave or anything that draws a lot of power and there's no dead short, it runs for a bit then blows a fuse.

Gmorning, another cold snappy one this am. Clear and no wind but the ground is solid like concrete. We feed some crows and small birds that hang around through the winter, Peanuts, Sunflower seeds and suet the crows come for the Peanuts and will sit in the trees calling for us when the ground is covered in snow. I shovel off our old well head and put down the nuts and seeds. I call it Diamond mining, hoping the crows drop me something shiny as a payback....nothing yet...still hoping...lol

If your exhaust line is clear to the outdoors then its your 30 amp pony panel thats blowing the fuse change the panel

Hey. Gmorning. The air exhaust line is clear and its not the 30 amp sub panel that's blowing the fuse, The sub panel holds a15 amp 2 pole for my well water pump and the 2 pole 20 amp hot water tank with 2 other 15 amp utility power plugs that currently have.......come to thinking about that I may have some of my grow lights on them but that still doesn't explain the Dryer blowing a 30 amp on the house panel....I have some work to do, I'll have to trace out all of my circuits and see wtf is going on. I've traced the 3#10 from the panel to the dryer and its not cut or split. I've tested the lines to ground and there's no faults. The receptacle is good wires tight. The wires are tight in the panel and I have now 7 dead 30 amp fuses in front of me and drying close all over the house...lol...not a happy chuckle there.

I actually do get gifts from the Crow. Aquarium gravel, an old car antenna tip the ones that used to screw in, bits of foil and chewing gum wrappers. I also gift them back. I buy those cheap ass gems from the craft department at Walmart and I put 3-4 of them out at a time. They are always gone at the end of the day. Funny thing has been that they have never brought me one of them back!

I like that, I never thought of giving them shiny bobbles, Maybe They need a prompt I've been just leaving food, maybe a bobble or 2 will clue them into what I want as payback....lots of rich folks down by the water front...lol.
 
I removed the vent cap, and thought that was the trick, then it blew again, its only a 2ft vent straight out of the house.

can you turn on the dryer in a "non heat" mode? just to test if it's something stupid with the motor failing and blowing the circuit. but if it would not blow running no heat then we're right back to square one again... follow Oldcrow, he'll troubleshoot ya through it.
 
Good luck to G$ at his interview today~!
Interview went well, theyre reaching out to my references and then hopefully they call me and say i got the job so we can move onto the next part.

$30.64/hr, I have to work the 1 shift (11pm-7am) for 1 calendar year and then id be eligible to change to a 2 or 3 shift. (7am -3pm or 3pm-11pm)

1 shift comes with a $1.50 differential pay

3 shift comes with a $1 differential pay.

Its something I could see myself retiring from in 32 years when im 60.
 
One more day to go here in the Northeast until sunrise starts getting earlier.
I know many think it all switches on 12/21 but only sunset has been making the daylight longer.
Sunrise has been getting later still until tomorrow [ 1/8 ] where it will finally turn and start coming up earlier.
7:26 sunrise is just a little too late for me. ;wedg
So glad even if slow and subtle in the beginning to have the Daylight stop getting later.
I swear it has been pitch-black at 6:30 am driving into work the last week or so.
By the time we gain an hour in the morning DLS takes effect and makes us do it all again but it happens faster the second time.

Winter time is the most depressing time of the year, its dark til 730 and then its dark again at 415. Idk how people live in Alaska and shit where its dark 8-9 months of the year.
 
Mornin Yiz Menz!
Gmorning Granny, cold, grey and wet here, will be for 4-5 more months. I don't know how non indoor growers survive the winters. I at least have a nice warm green space to spend my days in. I think indoor growing of veggies should be a school class, from grade school on, fk the crap they feed the kids at school now, they need real life skills and growing food indoors should be a priority we teach our youngsters. Growing weed can come later...like high school....lol

Cold wet and rainy here, springs on its way tho. Most of us here are getting the ground ready to plant next month. Lettuce, radishes and onions. The start of the planting year. I’m ready. I’ve been inside for the past few months and I’m ready to run!
Had a Dr appointment yesterday, it’s a 170 mile round trip, news was good but I was worn smack out by the time I got home.
I gave my daughter all of my log in info, so if anything happens again, she can at least come tell all of you what’s up.
 
Afternoon Zen~!
Hope you got your humidifier.
Dehumidifier. And yes. Not as good as the old one. It’s been running for at least 6 hours but only lowered the tent humidity about 10%. Says the rooms at 30RH but IDTS so I put a hygrometer on the dresser to check in a bit.

IMG_8662.jpeg78991440331__CA467FE0-1A61-48BF-9252-F9C36C27FEE6.jpeg

At least I got it for a good price. $202 out the door.
 
Looks solid
So far, after playing with the controls, it’s getting the room down to 30-35%RH but the tents are keeping in the hight 50’s. Also at some point it pissed all over the carpet floor. Not sure why but probably because I hit the wrong thing or the pump button.

Today will be the real test. Manual sucks but I think I’ve got it setup now.

It says it’s a 50 pint or 24 litre unit but the bucket only holds a gallon or so. The old one held more water. I’m guessing the volume is for how much it removes from the air in a period of time?

It does bump the temperature up a few degrees at lights out which is perfect. So we’ll see how today goes.
