Morning knights of the bike shop

Looks like im not the craziest SOB in this thread anymore!
Just kidding. Im still prolly more of a nutcase.

Unc, ive been dealing with extremely low humidity lately. Something I bet you know about.
I was wondering about your drying space. Do you happen to know what the RH%/temps range from in there??
I know your not a stickler for exact temps/specd in your grow room. But cant recall asking you about your drying set up. I think you use a tent, if I remeber correctly.

 

[unclefishstick]

you should see what those guys can do on an actual mountain bike! remarkable that a road bike can take that sort of stress....

pappy,its a tent with a filter in it,nothing more complicated than that,its in an unheated room,have no idea the temp or humidity...

 

[dansbuds]

Damn those guys have some skills !!! & the bike sure can take a beating ! any normal bike the back rim woulda been trashed half way through the video .

Restoration of H3ads Wavy Gravy

Restoration of H3ads Wavy Gravy

unclefishstick
two sides to every coin eh dan?

max, tell us a bit about your project with the wavy gravy.

Yeah Unk thanks for asking. Wavy Gravy is the last project H3ad released before he retired. It is Chem dog x Casey Jones. Two fine producers of quality product from years gone by. I'm showing my age here I suppose. I enjoy trying to preserve the old lines that are sadly going by the wayside as the industry travels on with the new varieties. I have a very small operation now,as I have retired and only do this for the wife and myself. I grow one plant at a time in a 25 gallon smartpot, my room is a closet now, it's only 2x4. I can consistently get + 10 ozs+ a grow from it using my unorthodox growing methods that I have developed over time. I've attached a photo of what I do and appreciate the interest in Wavy Gravy. I'm also pleased to have found you guys again as I enjoy the light hearted comradery here. I almost forgot to add that I use a Lumigrow ES 330, now and I love it

mornin fellers...
people can do some pretty amazing stuff on bikes these days,its incredible how strong all the parts are now,carbon fiber is some pretty amazing stuff....even the tires are so much better than they used to be...even with my limited skills i still go through stuff that would have crushed my first mountain bike and shredded the tires...the camber just rolls right through,never out of control....
its the hydraulic disc brakes...it only takes one finger to bring the bike to a halt....


well the pup is gone,guess i can vacuum the house...again
time to pedal off to the store for medium and a grocery run and a stop at the bike shop...

Fresh from the hospital, and chock full of the doc's special mix of piss and prescription vinegar ...... Add in some space cookies and dabs, all Imma say right now is I've missed this thread and it's cast of "colorful" participants Good shit gentlemen

Hey Y'all......
Lazy day here.........put a new bar and chain on my saw, gotta get my a$$ in gear and cut some scrub brush in the yard before everything starts growing again....two nice sized trees to take down as well to give my veggie garden better sunlight this year.

 

[unclefishstick]

man,y'all need to get out on yer bike more often or something,way too many of you spending hospital time!

i wish it was a lazy day,seems like lots of running around,got the bills paid,picked up a bag of medium,got part of a set of 1:24000 usgs topo maps for the area and a 1:100000 topo map.the battery free gps option! lol,i still remember how to navigate with a compass,i just need a comp for the camber now and i can measure mileage for when to turn and such...all the roads out in the desert look the same when you're out there...

Unc....you lead a hard life brother

Just ordered all my drip supplies to automate my watering....gonna be a pretty cool setup I think, we shall see.

Boveda packs on the way too.....life is good

 

[unclefishstick]

hell yah!
toys rock!
my camping gear had gotten to a pitiful state,about all i had left that was still usable was my north face tent,i had only been car camping for years and all my old backpacking gear had simply worn out so when i started this whole bike touring and camping project i was kinda starting from scratch and have been slowly filling things in as i go along...i think i have a pretty solid basic kit for summer and winter now,a good north face 3+ season 2 man tent,a 3 lb one man tent,my nice comfy ground pad for summer or winter,heavy but smaller than many pads packed,the big agnes down bag for winter,i ordered a sleeping bag liner to extend the range of that bag and for use as a summer sleeping bag,and i just got a minimalist synthetic fill 40 degree bag and a microfleece camping blanket.i should be covered through any temp range im willing to camp in...and even the heaviest kit is only 14 lbs but i can go down to as low as 5 lbs and only 7 with a tent...
set for cooking gear,pretty well set for jackets and long underwear and such,picked up more dry bags and compression stuff sacks,got the firestarters and compass and lots of the little camping crap,theres always more little widgets...i know i need a better multi tool,with a good one i can build a shelter and get a fire going with just two sticks to rub together...
should have my frame packs soon,should pretty much be set for cover all the bases then...


wow,babbling again....this critical kush is nice...

dAN did you ever grow the Alien DOJO ix? I forgot I have 20 seeds of FPOG f2 seeds. Will be popping these as well.

 

[Hammerhead]

Keep it located outside of the grow room.

It is is even partially outside in the screen room.

i'm tryin to keep mine warm by putting the radiator next to them . but i don't have any pumps circulating the water , just the pump to feed the trays a minute or 2 at a time .

I use the pumps to keep the Organics in suspension., but they add a lot of heat. You could add a mag 5/7 to yours and not worry about it to cool anymore.

 

[Ganoderma]

heat from the pumps has never been an issue for me yet, that I can recall.

From Jaws right ? i have alien rose , alien soda & a Dojo Fighter .... but no alien dojo's
& i haven't grown any of those yet . i've grown the WSD , SD f2's & a pink dawg of his so far , tried the decap (5 seeds) & couldn't get them going , still have 5 left for another try . but i can say , the only ones i've ever had a problem with from him was the decaps .
