Stoney's Luv Shack

[Zen_seeker]

There’s a recipe for the tangle foot I found In a video..okay to put it up stoney.

Cool, can’t wait to see it.

[Zen_seeker]

Thanks Max.

After seeing what’s in it I don’t know why it’s discontinued?

I have two pine trees and everything else is pretty basic to find. I’ll keep an eye out for pine resin anyway.

Probably not enough people buying it .one batch would last for years I reckon.could even give it to the kids to go play Spider-Man

I would have used it in traps for my sisters. Lol

Used to booby trap my room as both younger sisters would snoop when I was out. Invisible thread or fishing line was great for that. In the end they would team up and just try to find the traps. Setting them off was fun and surprising.

that yellow tub works just as good, it's just thicker is all and a little messier because theres no brush. but the yellow tub lasts longer when used outside, doesn't get weaker in the rain. if you put it on a plastic or cardboard collar and then wrapped that around the stalk it would work just as good i bet.



i know what ya mean about the wires.. a few years ago we had all our carpets replaced and thats when i ran all the speaker wires and some hdmi cables. i don't wanna even think how much copper is under my rugs!! haha

but those wireless models are so nice for new installs. makes it super easy when you rearrange furniture or change rooms around.

.

and you know it man, those bugs got me more freaked out than anything, every time i look at them i start itching and scratching!!!

from what i read the predator mites have six stages of life and live from 5 to 25 days. they say to introduce 2-10 mites per square foot... i ordered 2000 for like 60 per square foot to cover both cabinets.

.

texas game looked great in 4K!! cool part was there were no commercials at all.. every time the game paused for a commercial or half time they showed this view live with no audio...

with the right tshirt on you could really get some free company advertisement if you knew where it was gonna be!!!!

Dude, every time somebody mentions bugs I feel the need to go spray.
I've put so much into growing my own and finally have this room right where I like it and I damn near start to panic thinking it could all be undone by a dang infestation.

Looks like YTV gives you something like ESPN+ alternative channels which don't show commercials.

Like for the Texas vs Georgia game there's the national broadcast then skyview and stadium feed on the + channels and they go blank with a screensaver during commercials.
When it lines up, I like to go to stadium feed with radio on because our radio guy is one of the best in the country.
I wish networks would go back to the days of simulcast because TV people suck so bad and ruin it.
I even like to listen to NASCAR on the radio because like you said that one time they call it like they're all 5 wide going 300mph hahahaha!
This past Sunday I did the whole race on radio because I didn't wanna see Briscoe's A&M car, that's how much I was disgusted with that wrap.

Yeah we shit the bed Saturday night. Georgia just has a d line that can take over a game. That's exactly what they did and absolutely pants us. Dumb fuck student section made the whole fan base look like spoiled brats having that tantrum too. Just an embarrassing night, ez to forget and move on from it. Kids man...And I'm talking 17-22 yr olds....They can be amazing human beings at times but other times, holy fuck they are the absolute most entitled fuckers on this planet. Get them in a football stadium boozed up and I'll show you the worst that generation has to offer. Worst of all, they're rich and they will be the ones leading this world very soon.

But I'll always have this from that weekend!

 

[Stoneyluv]

very cool man!!! wow would i make a mess with that stuff though!!!! that dude didn't get any anywhere, i would have knocked some stuff over or kicked the table or something messy would happen!! i just know me!!

Probably not enough people buying it .one batch would last for years I reckon.could even give it to the kids to go play Spider-Man

oh man we should send a batch to @GoodShit97 's kids!!! mark it playdough on the can!!!!!!

always more than one use i guess!!! glad it's ez and you can make it with stuff you can get, i bet you could fine tune it to the way you like too!!!

i'm getting to be the same way about gnats now too!!! i just can't stop them either! i bought some nematodes to try out, should have them tomorrow and i'll introduce them when i upcan.

i got the predators today, they came overnight with a freeze pack in the box. one was still pretty solid and very cold so i felt confident. it came in a little shaker can like a spice does, they like it humid so they suggest lightly spraying the plants with water first.

i dumped some of it out, looks like vermiculite for their packing, looked at it with my magnifier and saw a few red one running around. they were super tiny, about half the size of the two spotters, difficult to see with my magnifying glass but within seconds i saw a few alive so hoping for the best. i sprinkled half the can on in the black room dividing it up in each container. then i put the rest on the two plants in the white room and left the empty can in there under the plant.. fingers crossed!!!!!! so i added more bugs to try to get rid of bugs..

Looks like YTV gives you something like ESPN+ alternative channels which don't show commercials.

i believe thats what it is as well.. nothing else airs on that channel all week and only had broadcast during game play and interviews and stuff. it really reminded me of the old hacking satellite feed days where you could connect to all those broadcasts that shouldn't be seen by public.

but man those brats did cause enough of a disturbance and delay to make the officials look at the play and made the right call in the end!!!! kudos on all the girls and guys that cleaned it up super fast!!! they need to hire those cheerleader's for street cleanups!!!!!!!!!!!

it was a rough weekend as a fan for all my favorite sport teams, so glad it's over with and can look forward to this weekend!!!

i did notice something having the game so clear, i saw a trainer out on the field that looked like he had the same pair of sneakers i have!!!!

But I'll always have this from that weekend!

i can't believe they left him wear the hat!!! that fucker!!!!!! hahahaha

man did he look out of place throwing the horns up!!!!!

Haha, yall can try.
I have a rotten ass mother in law.

growing up i had an uncle like this!! at a super young age anything that made noise or annoyed a parent!! and if it was a gift that made me make my parents crazy than that was even better!! like one time he gave me a super detailed complicated model of the general lee!!! knowing damn well i couldn't put it together and would force my dad to!!!! thing had tiny spark plug wires and everything.. probably made it a week of playing with!!

knives, fireworks, even got me my first slingshot,, some great stories there!!!

Man I hope it goes well with the predators. I bookmarked your link so I can look them up later and see if they'll work down here. I'd really like to get the mites outside before they ever get a chance to get indoors.

Yeah that's the thing about that whole mess....The refs didn't overturn the call because the kids bombed the field with bottles but that's been the perception since that night.
It was actually called offensive PI but was announced as defensive PI. That's when the shit hit the fan.
One official went over to the ref to correct him on it being on the offense. While at the same time, it started to rain bottles and they couldn't announce the correct the call. So after all the melee they just picked up the flag because there's no way we were going to accept that penalty because we intercepted the ball.
Just a weird SEC officiating moment. Like the ref got stage fright or something. I think maybe that crew was overwhelmed by the game and 105K + fans of both teams hating them no matter what got the best of them and now the perception is mob anger got a call overturned.

Oh yeah brother your gear is all official on field gear! same stuff coaches and staff wear on the sidelines for games.
Funny thing too...Now you and Gordon have something in common. You've both have gotten a swag bag from Texas Equipment!

Gordon's a goofy dude man. He was a fish outta water for sure and seemed astonished at everything we have at our facility and size of stadium.
Yeah he got to put on the Golden Hat. It's not a very comfortable thing to have on your head but he FAFO!
He had a cowboy hat but I think somebody told him we don't do that here but you see it in the beginning doing that awkward horns up.
IDK why, but it seems when out of state tourists come here, they feel the need to wear a cowboy hat to fit in.
It's the opposite around here.
Cowboy hats are how we know when people are tourists! Only real cowboys who work cattle and ride horses wear those hats in Texas. Nobody in the city wears a cowboy hat unless you're a doosh nozzle katamine smoking tool like this guy....



That reminds me...time to go vote!

i hope so too man, i'm sure i'll be bugged out for a while yet though till i can let my guard down and not be paranoid. i still have yet to find out if these predators reproduce and lay eggs? all these places that sell them say to reintroduce, not sure if it's a marketing thing to sell more or what. if i bought them again might go directly to their website, they offer freebies...

ah man i got it wrong then. i never actually saw the live play just the replay as the announcers kept talking about it for a while it caught my attention and i had originally thought that it was first called DPI on texas and then later overturned to an interception by texas. for some reason i thought texas got the ball from all that bottle throwing.

Oh yeah brother your gear is all official on field gear! same stuff coaches and staff wear on the sidelines for games.

when he put on that somebody should have called him a donut, that would have been epic!!! (he calls people donuts sometimes)

in the handful of times or so that i've been to texas i don't think i saw anyone wearing a cowboy hat. i've seen more people in montana wearing them than texas!!

ya know jon bon jovi claimed he was a cowboy and he wore pink spandex!!!!
yeah.. and i'm stoneyluv, the astronaut!!!! f'in clowns!!!!!

I wore a cowboy hat back in the 70's.

It throws us off. We want to call you a tourist but won't because we're impressed with somebody having the balls to wear it. And we love to laugh at shit like this too. He gets Brochacho status with this one

[Stoneyluv]

upcanned and flipped tonight!!!!!



they've all been pruned for six tops except for the crazy mutant sour D, she has like twelve tops!!



for gnat control i am trying nematodes. i bought two kinds, one live that can be kept in the fridge for a month. and a sea monkey kind that has a long shelf life and is brought to life with water.. i used them both.



hind sight i think i should have bought these... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7RZUVU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1WMQPAGZ5642Q&psc=1

those prey on both mites and gnats and probably would have been the best choice for me.. woulda coulda shoulda, might probably still will... OLDCRO just told me about them today. he uses them as a prevention on each grow and i think this might be put into my rotation as well.

i'll probably get some in a few weeks or sooner depending on the results i get with what i already did.

I won't grow in coco because of the nightmare infestation of gnats it brings with it but when I did, the nematodes saved the garden. It was so bad the yellow traps would be black in 2 days but a week after the nematodes, nothing.
I've also had great success using them outdoors to rid my yard of fire ants and fleas.

The mite thing is hard to pin down. Outdoors here, it seems they have plenty of predators but those predators don't follow them indoors where the mites can thrive. I'll continue spraying for a barrier but maybe give a shot to and outdoor hatching of more predators after the last frost this coming early Spring.

Bring on the buds!!!!

you guys getting gnats in your pre buffered bags of 70/30 .I’ve never had one ever.i gather you buy it by the trailer load.

i vegged a few more days than last time and also did a cannonball flip this time, i'm curious if it will change any timing..

got a question for ya man, i don't think i can move on to the next tier in the nascar fan rewards i need 725 points and only a few weeks left, should i just cash in my points now? i thought i remember you telling me that i would lose them at the end of the year and only get to carry over my status?

you guys getting gnats in your pre buffered bags of 70/30 .I’ve never had one ever.i gather you buy it by the trailer load.

no, not those guys. just me!! i buy my soil from the same places these guys do, same brand, same model, only i get gnats! i've stopped trying to figure it out because it started to make me crazier than i already am!!

ya know yesterday i needed the containers to upcan and realized i never emptied the soil out of them from last round. so i grabbed an empty tote and started dumping it in and breaking it up. most of it was moist yet too, and no freakin gnats, none!!! now i was infested with them at harvest time and these containers were just stacked up on the floor a few meters from my grow. where did they all go?? i never see them in my house or even the basement, outside in the yard yes but not inside. except for my grow cabinets,,, i just don't get it.. those bags of soil sit there for months and months and have nothing flying out or around.

as soon as i put it in containers and under grow lights i have them fuckers in three days!!!

if the nematodes don't work i'm buying the predators next. somethings gotta stick!

 

[Max]

They must b somewhere outside your room where they are breeding..any sink drains,garbage cans,flowers.they can breed in standing water.pot plant saucers..when nxt grow is finished set it your room up with nothing with light on and set one of those cheap recording cameras in there .they Don’t like orange ,red lights ive read..

i don't know where they're really coming from i just assumed the new soil. i rebuilt my soil for over ten years and never had any gnats at all, i buy one bag of soil and haven't gotten completely rid of them since! at first Max i thought it was from my exhaust being open and they were coming in so i put a bug cover over it. that seemed to make it worse because none were getting sucked out when the fan kicked on. i then messed around with mosquito bits and other similar products, sticky traps and i still had them but not terrible just always there. once i removed the soil from the hydro room they all went away there, now i just have one place to fight them from. and i don't wanna get my hopes up to much but after a day and half i only caught one!!!



what if that was the one last survivor!!!! but i pulled all the plants out today and slid them all back in and i didn't see any fly out so this really is the best it's been in over a year right now!!! fingers crossed!!!!

I decided to put saucers under all my plants today.. i was listening to Steam and Bandit talking about this last week and not sure why i got away from them but i decided i wanted to see the suck back again so...

lookin for some of that Kyle Larson speed... starting front row tomorrow!!!

 

[steamroller]

I put forth little effort but had 0/ zero effect on my gnats this grow I am finishing.
I have had success with the bits, but slacker and I see them still.
Hoping after harvest that I can treat the 4 clones in the tent still vegging and maybe one if I can reveg.
Some of my plants would have filed charges if they could for drought abuse but it was overall a very odd season in my neck of the woods.
Having a controlled room does not seem to mean you are a completely separate eco system?
Maybe just slightly more refined?

I exterminate and bomb my room for spider mites.

Yeah you'll lose your points after Dec 31 but you'll keep your tier status and pick up from where you left off next season.
So yeah you can cash them in now or let them expire. The closer it gets to Dec 31 the more things start to sell out.
I missed out last year so just let them expire. This is the first year I've gotten to redeem them for anything.
If you don't have enough now for anything good that autographed KL flag or diecast will be reachable next season but you can also score tix to Pocono. I've heard that fan reward tix are usually pretty good seats too.

The saucers certainly reduce watering frequency for me with the suck up.
I'll get gnats in the Winter sometimes but rarely in Summer months. I can get by bug free but mites can rear up from time to time.
One stumper I'm having is fucking mushrooms growing in my soils while you guys don't get them. But I think that may have been from an order from Amazon because those were the only four bags that would grow shrooms. Two bags from another order haven't been growing any shrooms.

So I got my Truex RC car today and last week I ordered a Ford body and some medium firmness tires as well as heat sinks for the motors.
I'm also gonna order another Toyota and Chevy body to make alternative paint schemes for both Larson and Briscoe.

I've found a couple companies that do custom wraps for RC cars and these two have the templates to make them for the Losi NASCAR bodies.

Briscoe will more than likely be a Margaritaville car.
But for Larson I'm gonna make his Jinya Ramen Bar sponsor the main sponsor on the car. Paint will probably be black, white, and red. Same font he uses for the #5.
This will be on the hood

honestly a few of them i don't mind, but when they get populated they get mean. i hate when i open the doors and get bit in the scalp every time, i'm done with that! outside, yes i'll deal with that. they live outside it's theirs i'll live with it but not in my home dammit!!!

my absolute last resort will be sand.. if you cover the top couple inches with sand, it's to heavy and they can't crawl through it. makes for a real PITA to water though.. a great candidate for bluemats right there!!!

.

i bet if you had a huge lung room it would be possible to not deal with outside elements.. huge though, probably one of those geo homes with a suspended geo shaped grow room in the middle!! haha

just curious man, what foggers do you use? i used a hot shot fogger a few weeks ago and it didn't kill all of them. i was reading how important it was for it to have a miticide in it. i never read the label..

I missed out last year so just let them expire. This is the first year I've gotten to redeem them for anything.
If you don't have enough now for anything good that autographed KL flag or diecast will be reachable next season but you can also score tix to Pocono. I've heard that fan reward tix are usually pretty good seats too.



The saucers certainly reduce watering frequency for me with the suck up.
I'll get gnats in the Winter sometimes but rarely in Summer months. I can get by bug free but mites can rear up from time to time.
One stumper I'm having is fucking mushrooms growing in my soils while you guys don't get them. But I think that may have been from an order from Amazon because those were the only four bags that would grow shrooms. Two bags from another order haven't been growing any shrooms.

So I got my Truex RC car today and last week I ordered a Ford body and some medium firmness tires as well as heat sinks for the motors.
I'm also gonna order another Toyota and Chevy body to make alternative paint schemes for both Larson and Briscoe.

I've found a couple companies that do custom wraps for RC cars and these two have the templates to make them for the Losi NASCAR bodies.

Briscoe will more than likely be a Margaritaville car.
But for Larson I'm gonna make his Jinya Ramen Bar sponsor the main sponsor on the car. Paint will probably be black, white, and red. Same font he uses for the #5.
This will be on the hood

ohhh thats awesome i have till the end of the year!! i'll wait till the end of the season and see what i really end up with, honestly though i pretty much will have enough for $25 gift card. and i'm cool with that if thats what it ends up being.

pocono tickets would be so sweet!!! i haven't looked at the prizes at all yet, didn't want to get to jelly!!! just saw i had enough for a gift card and closed it out. i'll see where i'm at after the championship there is a slight chance i'll bump to all star, double check ins today!!!!



.

the wrap sounds awesome!!! does it wrap to the inside of the body? i'd scratch it up to much if it were wrapped on the outside. i guess it would have to wrap to the outside if you're going to paint it. the paint goes on the inside of the shell normally. i had to paint my crawler body in seven steps, i had four different blacks that i sprayed... a wrap would have made that a lot easier and i bet a lot cheaper. RC paint cans are ridiculous priced!

i've always wanted to dip wrap one!!!!

I think I used a black flag fogger. Might have been a flea fogger?
I also have and used Smite then.
I have not sprayed since my infestation in 22.
Not organic but not spraying my plants unless no other choice.
I bombed when room was empty and it was cool/fall outside so I am sure weather helped.

honestly a few of them i don't mind, but when they get populated they get mean. i hate when i open the doors and get bit in the scalp every time, i'm done with that! outside, yes i'll deal with that. they live outside it's theirs i'll live with it but not in my home dammit!!!

my absolute last resort will be sand.. if you cover the top couple inches with sand, it's to heavy and they can't crawl through it. makes for a real PITA to water though.. a great candidate for bluemats right there!!!

.

i bet if you had a huge lung room it would be possible to not deal with outside elements.. huge though, probably one of those geo homes with a suspended geo shaped grow room in the middle!! haha

.

just curious man, what foggers do you use? i used a hot shot fogger a few weeks ago and it didn't kill all of them. i was reading how important it was for it to have a miticide in it. i never read the label..

These are the foggers I use. Pretty much a prescription strength mite, thrip, & white fly killer.

They're spendy but highly effective and can be used with living plants in flower but wash the plants a few days after fogging then a do a follow up fog a week or so later.
I think the life cycle is a new generation of mites every 5 days so the goal is to break that cycle and kill off what remains.
There's a handful of brands making this type of fogger and they all cost $20-$40 per can but are very effective.

Yeah man Cup race reward tix are only 5000 points! Xfinity and Truck are around half that.
The only race I don't see redeemable is Chicago but even Iowa is up there for 7000 points. That's a race that sells out the first day tix are on sale too so that's a huge score there.
Once you get to all star then every check in will be worth 55 point and every trivia worth 11. When you hit champion then it goes up to 63 and 15.
The garage experience at COTA is gonna be hard to get for me. Points for that jumped from 10K to 15K. It's for two people though and value on that is $600/person.
I'm gonna have to do everything next season...the fantasy nascar, never miss a check in or trivia, and basically turn over every stone I can looking for points and I might be able to get that 15K. If I don't hit it I'll probably cash in for free tix at Texas Motor Speedway.

That dip is nuts!!! I've never seen anything like that and it reminds me of something like a chrome dip.
The RC wraps are more like sticker sheets than an actual wrap. They're full panel stickers for roof, hood, trunk, and sides. They stick to the outside and you paint the body inside to complete the paint scheme

hydro dipping has been around for a long time now... i think the first time i saw it was jessie james the motorcycle guy.

they use a special printer to print out the film and then set it on top of a bath of water and dip... they're a lot more popular now. you can buy those films and dip em yourself in a tote.

and theres the diy spray paint way...

i just gotta say those nematodes are keeping the gnats down to a minimum.. don't even see them fly around anymore. the live nematodes i bought only last a month so i'll keep using them each week. i might have found a solution here!!!




so the tallest one of the bunch is the can't get right...

so far the amherst sour diesel and the sun of a peach have been the front runners.

and for those that didn't see... coming soon to a white room near you in hydro scrog... i think the sticker is a typo and it's really Purple Candy X Afterglow.




have a great weekend everybody!!!!!! Go #5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
