    Island Of Misfits

    I want 3 different take-offs for water. First just before the UV that will go to the plants. the 2nd one after the UV and before the calcite filter so minerals won't plug up my BUNN coffee maker that's never seen anything but RO water and the last after the calcite filter that 'polishes' the...

    Island Of Misfits

    There's a water softener in my basement but I put it on bypass a year after getting the place. The old guy used potassium chloride in the brine tank as it's better for watering the garden with so you don't add a lot of sodium. Once I get my RO system installed I'll use the brine tank for...

    Members List of Beans

    OG has been back for a while and still overgrowing the planet! Same address as always and plenty of seed give-a-ways, auctions and swapping all over. After getting the last fall box I looked at all the strains I'll never have time to grow and stopped putting my name in for them. Mentioned on...

    Sheep Alert PSA!

    I used to watch Soupy Sales right after the Friendly Giant when I was a kid. Cartoon junky too when cartoons had violence and Olive Oyl was built! ☮️

    I was adopted so who knows but I've used LabRat since I went back to school at age 33 in '87 for 3 years to get a diploma in environmental chemistry. Got my first computer with a 300baud modem and started hanging out on BBSs dealing with environmental issues so the nym seemed to fit. :) Used...

    I still don't know what this Cabana thing is. Is it a pot forum? ☮️

    Island Of Misfits

    Been at it for a while alright. Grew my first buds in '78 under a bunch of T-12 shop lights in 5gal pails of dried sheep shit and farm dirt from my father-in-law's farm near Red Deer north of Calgary, Alberta where we lived. Then small grows on and off over the years until we moved up here to...

    PGRs! Go wash your mouth out with soap! :) I'm a little OCD about trimming and with my arthritis that's a bad combo. When I'm cropping I only take enough colas to take me an hour so if my hands start cramping up I won't have a big pile of pot to go all limp and make further trimming...

    Wrap it up in plastic to slow drying if it's not too late. I like drying my trimmed fresh off the plant buds in doubled paper bags down in the basement when it's 45 - 50F. Need opening and dumping out every day for the first week or so then less often as they dry down. I'll put them in a...

    Inline booster fan

    Increasing the pipe size would reduce restrictions a bit so a modest increase in output should result but maybe 10 -20% at most. The only way to double the output from using those two fans would be to have another exhaust line and outlet for the 2nd fan. Better to just buy a real 6" inline fan...

    Inline booster fan

    Putting the same size fan inline with the other won't increase the output one bit unless there is a carbon filter on the intake. Then you would have some increase in output as the two fans would have more power to suck air thru the filter but still probably wouldn't even hit the output of one...

    Bugus Monkey's new and improved puzzle basement and various ramblings

    I don't know about that. They grew 640, a quarter section, of industrial hemp last year and doubling it this year with a few more guys starting crops as well. There's a new hemp processing plant here now and it should be in operation soon to start trial runs on last year's crop so it's all...

    I have some Freakshow IBL seeds here but don't know if I'll ever grow them. Don't really need any more freak shows in my life. :D I do like to wave my freak flag high tho. ;) ☮️

    Bugus Monkey's new and improved puzzle basement and various ramblings

    I hear you about how it piles up when you keep growing it. So many strains, so little time. Wife is crabbing about all the room taken up in the freezer with sealed cans and freezer bags full of pot so I'm trying to get an old 4x8 grow tent back from a buddy to use as a clean room to set up my...
