Unclefishstick's Guide to Home Bicycle Repair

its weird to see the workshop all cut up by walls like that for me but a plan is coming together...should be able to get it working in the next couple months,going to be a timing thing as well since im going to skip the gavitas for now and just use my current gear plus 2 1000w ballast and a couple of hoods and just go ahead and air cool all the lamps....so im going to have to take lamps out of the main garden as plants finish up since none of the screens will fit through the doors of the house....hmmm,got some plannin to do...

Lookin good everyone! Plants are healthy, rooms are being built.

PF, it looks to me likke you might have 3 different phenos. 1 and 2 are similar hieght but the fans are much fatter on 2 and the petioles are shorter.

Time to water!

I see the Surleys are catching on real well in Colorado. I don't think ive seen one here. I have a REI about five blocks away. I'll have to go in there.
I see some other companys are using Surley fat rims paired with a carbon fiber frame and lots of high end gear. Some sweet bikes for under four grand

The Salsa bikes are doing that . the Muluk TI has a titanium frame & the mukluk 2 & 3 have aluminum frames .
heres the mukluk 2 ... nice bike but 3k price tag .

This is the color combo I like . i love the satin black & blood red colors !!!! there was one here exactly like it for 1750 , but it had the 21" frame & i need a 17" max .

The Beargreese XX1 has the Carbon frame

doc thats communist talk coming from you! nothing sings like steel does...i love the trek,(carbon fiber fork,aluminum frame) but it is a bitch to ride on rough roads,and it wont last forever,one good ding and the frame is toast,the tubes are so finely engineered they cant take any dents without the frame losing all its strength...but it only weighs 18.6 lbs...

i dunno though,those crazy ass downhill bikes and all mountain bikes are pretty strong...

that high end stuff is normally for racing or people who can crank the watts out,i think the pugsly will be plenty of bike for me,the only thing i might want different is a 1x10 or 2x10 drivetrain...

Smoked a third of a jay of gg4$, then went to have a taiste of something different. I took a very small hit of some haze.snapped a bud right off the hanging plant. It was a spine tingler, lung buster,head rusher. I went in the bathroom to wipe the snot from my nose, then pissed all over my boot.

So I came up with a good idea. Why not roll a joint of it?

Let this be your warning. I'm getting ready to spark it

.The frostbytes are still in veg , they'll go in flower in a couple weeks .... the first 4 i showed ya , have been in flower sense friday .

I can see a lot of GG influence in most of those, OC might have really have a good cross there, speaking of OC did he get the axe ?

 

[dansbuds]

he is purple frostbyte now hh x oc = PF lol


& uhhhh JW .... the PF's don't have any GG in them , the first 4 pics i put up I'm thinkin have the GG influance .

I would love to have just the 1 x 10 drivetrain , but i doubt i'll be buying a new special ordered one . i'll be buying used & hoping its not a wrecked mess .

 

[unclefishstick]

i would think a 2x10 would offer a good compromise between the performance of the 1x10 systems buts still having some flexibility in where you can go,but in the end i will more likely leave it stock since i will need to ride it on the road on occasion,and i doubt i will be doing anything so rad i really need race level components

 

[dansbuds]

most of my riding will be dirt packed roads & paths or a paved bike path , so no real need for all those extra gears ..... plus i'm of the mind that its less to go wrong or maintain .

 

[unclefishstick]

well,surprisingly a 1x10 cost about double what a 3x9 more traditional set up would cost,not to mention an bike that has it will have high end stuff on it and im more of the school of if you dont need it no reason to pay for it...theres nothing on a stock pugsly that i could break and im not going to race it....ive never once broken a front derailleur in 30 + years of beating the shit out of bikes,i seriously doubt it will be an issue...
you dont really want a super custom bike since its not custom to you,better to get a solid base and go from there...all i did to the ogre was seat and handlebars,and im crossing in to 150 mile weeks on average...

Not like cars then huh ? lol
i didn't think a basic 1 x 10 would be considered custom .... but i guess i can see that .I don't know whats traditional on bikes anymore , used to be 2 x 10 was standard . I'm not looking for high end either , just a good solid reliable bike that don't need to be shopped to fix a few things . i am mechanicly inclined & have worked on many of the kids bikes over the years .

 

[unclefishstick]

thats why i was saying the pugsly is a good platform,the components are solid and easy to work on and not hugely expensive aside from the wheels,the tires are about 150 each...
oh yeah,i will need a rock ring that protects the outer chainring...that way you can just grind your way over rocks and trees and not chew up the teeth...

 

[dansbuds]

gonna have to check CL after Xmas ..... the folks gettin new ones , might want to sell their old ones

im right here JW i got a name change

Well I went and did the DJ Short meet n greet/speaking engagement. Was a good time, seems like a good enough guy. May just pick up one or two of his breeder clones to see what's what. I think I have access to his Blueberry, Flo, Grape Krush and I think F13 cuts.

So I got some pics of the work I got done last night involving the dehuey. Here it is in it's new spot.

And then where it comes out in the veg room.

Will be nice to have access to the condensate 24 hours a day. Since I get roughly 10 gallons a day it should take care of all the veg water and then some.


Let's see what else I got pics of tonight. Oh yeah, I think I may be done with the root tonics, be they Roots Excel or Rhizo or Rapid Start. I ran out of Roots Excell about a month ago and haven't been using anything and still have roots bursting out of pots. Seems just coco is enough to build crazy amounts of root.

That pot is one of the new SPG's that just went in the flower room. Speaking of which, here they are tonight. They seem pretty light green to me but maybe it's just the strain. To be safe I gave them a dose of some Roots 8-0-0 liquid guano last night along with some Photosynthesis Plus.

Finally some bud porn. LOK #1 at day 48. She will go 70-77. This is a good Chem dom plant, would probably play nice with the glue.

Well that's my five pic limit.

 

[calientecarlos]

Very Nice Third!!!

 

[Treetroit City]

Another pic of the LOK#1 that I think is nice.

Pic of the LOK#2. More of an OG dom plant. Not the best photo but the best one I got tonight. Day 62.

So as a few had told me the Shrubblers didn't work out so good as far as getting a nice spray pattern but I liked the way they connected the stake to the drip line so I modified them. Just unscrewed the tops off and now just water like so.

Couple shots of the Galadriel x White OG. Stretch got away from me on these being the first time I've grown them. Oh well, I'm used to floppy ass plants.

A'right then.

Night fruckin work Third!

That Lights out is buttery.

You should def take up the oppurtunity to grab one of those DJ clones. Cant go wrong with any of those, especially his cuts, im sure thier titties.
