Grump's Dip-N-Stix Grow 🌱

Hellava job grump!

 

[GrumpAzz]

i was wondering if you were supposed to shake em around now and then in the racks. i do this when i have the extras in a cardboard box. just shake em once a day.

I figured it couldn't hurt.

i was surprised all the misc. buds a trimmed wet added up to 36 grams so far!! i haven't weighed a harvest in a long time. in fact i've grown perpetual for so long i only really understand single plant weights and averages.. i never harvested my cabinet full of buds like this so i'm gonna be meticulous and get an accurate count so i have something to compare to if i'm gonna grow mono crops like this in the future.

I hope to reach a point where the final weight is unimportant. I just had to beat my last grow. Needed to see some sort of improvement on this round. So far, lots of improvements this round.

hopefully your new ACI gear lasts a long long time and at some point you'll have forgotten all about those hours, if not already!!

i never had luck trying to look at trics. it always seemed like i could just move the scope around the bud until i found one leaf that had colors i was looking for. i ended up with better buds once i ditched those things. never really saw cloudy so they say, always seemed clear or amber.. i just use pistil receding along with overall bud look, uptake in water, and smell. so maybe i missed something way back then and didn't have the right lighting or something.. curios to hear what you have to say, i still have them.. loupes, magnifiers w/lights, and a usb digital one. all just taking up space.

They've been great with warranties so far. Free replacements and apparently they retooled these new plugs, too. Was it from what I said to them in my emails? Man I'd like to think so.

The loupe.. I couldn't hold it steady enough to check on a wispy plant trembling in the breeze.

rinsed the bucket and pump like 10 times


and u werent kidding that pump is noisy but ill have a use for it
thanks bro u no idea how much i appreciate you for the packages

my first DWC attempt was pretty good with no chiller, around 80f in the water, trying to get a second run under DWC in.

working with what i got

if only i had all the right tools and parts for the job....priorities.....this kid is expensive lol

Almost bought a cannatrol last night.

My plants say when. I have loupe and goggles but behavior and overall growth, appearance say when I chop.

Those are neat just damn pricey.

now im patient enough to let em proper fade and ripen.

Maximum potential.

Man... this'll be my next purchase in the weed realm of things. I just want full control over the cure. It would EVENTUALLY pay for itself in grove bags

I let these run 2 and a half weeks longer and they swelled up so much in that timeframe.

Hell yeah.

I was noticing that too, buds were starting to swell up and noticed some more triches on my lowers

Just looked it up
$1600?

Yup

Like a "fancy" wine cooler jacked up.

Slapped with a "green" tax

 

[GrumpAzz]

Haha.. yep.

The convenience of it all is worth a ton in my mind. Just gotta talk my heart into it

 

[moe.red]

Yup

Like a "fancy" wine cooler jacked up.

Hmmmmm. I think I could build one for the price of the cooler and about $100

Anybody wanna design one with me? I got a fridge I can use already.

Haha good point.

I hate it man, I hate not being able to dry even close to 60/60, from everything I've read 68F+ terpenes can start to evaporate, if you're smelling it, that's the terps evaporating away off the buds we just spent 8+ weeks growing.

I want all of those % points

And proper dry/cure, a variable for smooth smoke.

@GrumpAzz I can send you the rest of my 1# grove bags if you want them. I probably have 6 or 7 left I’ll never use. I’m back to glass.

Dude build one and I'll send you 500 AND come pick it up.

Easier with glass? Or do you like the final product better?

Deal. Just finished this print head recovery jig so ready for the next project. Got a bum leg so now’s a good time to get busy on designing something.

I use jars too, not tried the groves yet.

Final product. It’s just a preference thing there’s nothing wrong with the bags.

I’ve got about 10 of the 2.5 gallon glass jars so might as well use them.

Man I like your style. Knowing you, it'll be a killer project too.

I use jars too, not tried the groves yet.

They worked alright last run but it dried too fast and hit pretty harsh. Killer terps though.

I will just set up my AC this time but if things stay the same for me I am willing to invest in the cannatrol at 1600+.
@GrumpAzz that is how slackers do it. Set it and forget it~!

How would you use it? Seems small for you.

 

[steamroller]

I thought the same but if it dries in 4 days and my room never finishes all at once I think I could make it work.
I also think running my AC for over 1 month in the dry room will cost 1/10 of the cannatrol.
It would spend most of its life like my press, tumbler, distiller in its box.
But it would be a useful tool also IMO.

It does appear to only hold a pound or less.

First world/ white people problems?

So 1lb every 4 days won't work for you?
I think I can make it work~!
There are a few members here that own one and have not said one bad word about them...
@OLDCRO ....

you had me at useful tool.

Would a full size refrigerator or a chest freezer be a good doner? The electronics are easy.

This guy did a much larger wine cooler with glass door for $200

Alright. I'll have to think about this some more. Don't get too involved just yet. I'm gonna look at this again. If you build one, I'll buy it. Just wait a bit before you start. Not sure if my old ranger could make it that far to haul a full sized fridge back.

Sound good to me, don't harvest all at the same time anyways, we rotating around.
