i like it man, i really do. the screens on the bottom and the strings on the top. the house filter is fucking brilliant. how easy is it to run to winn dixie to pick up more for cheap. only issue i have is the airflow rate. maybe if your cfm on the 4''er is good enough it wont be an issue. but i use 2 muffin fans as my wind tunnel....hehehehe. just a gentle steady breeze. both my muffins are 4'' and they both have their particulate filters on them. a quich once over with the vacuum every so often and viola no problems.

i think i want to work up something like this...i only have room for a long, skinny bud dryer as i dont have much floor space left. the tubberware bud dryer must be retired.

ya, my wood one is still perfect but i need to go vertical. 1 screen just dont cut it anymore.

that will be about 17" x 17" and im not sure of the height yet, maybe 5-7' tall?

it sounds perfect man.

will have a 4" exhaust fan with a carbon filter up top, a passive intake down low with a regular filter that you use for the house central a/c.

i will hang colas up top, and popcorn on screens down bottom.

my only concern may be possibility of uneven drying. thoughts?

mine is being constructed so i can add racks or take em out. so i could adjust it. you should do that as well. cause we will have to find our own sweet spots for even drying. but ya ......liluns on da bottom and bigguns up top should do the trick every time. i'm lucky enough not to need the filter. its in the flower room, so the air gets handled through that system.






oh ya.....do you guys wash or do anything to your curing jars in between batches? i just got done pruning some ladies. took quite a few fan leaves off this time. i never do that but i wanna see if it helps or hurts. read too many fights over this subject.

 

[grandpabear3]

and what i meant was.... you said you need something to keep your people at bay when you run out... me too

i meant to protect them from my inner asshole.

i just use and compress dry trim and when its compressed, it looks like a midgrade (shake) weed brick hahaha

and shame on you, i'm telling gypsy.......oh man are you gonna get a talkin to.

yea im going to make them adjustable...they are like drawer slides, without the drawer slides, just a lip or wood, brad nailed to hold the tray which holds the colas...that way i can move the cola trays around to ensure even drying or if i only need just one or two drying racks for main colas either way, you have a point of flexibility and adjustment. great point.

my 4" is a 200cfm fan i blv....

I just made hash last night for the first time! Yeaaaa! Used the old Silk Screen method. Took a while to do half my trimmings that I have saved up, but I have a nice quarter and a nickel size shape! Have not tried it yet, trying to figure out how I will smoke it. I gave away my bong, and only have a vap, or roll an joint. I need to buy some swisher grapes soon. I think I will try heated up the knife. I just want a pure hash hit and see what it does. The hash was made out of 3 different strians, so it should be interesting! smoking tonight! Will keep ya posted. I have never seen/made/smoked hash.

[grandpabear3]

anyone on the jars?

 

[LoudBlunts]

what about em?

 

[DeweyKox]

Thanks bugs, thats what I needed to hear!

 

[orzz]

anyone on the jars?

I wash my jars with "Dr. Bronner's Magic All-in-One Soaps".
What's not to like about 'em? Nothin'. Dilute for any use. Depends on how much you dilute it. Been using it since I was teenager. It was what was taken on hiking/camping trips. It is organic and biodegradable. The Peppermint is perfect for a swim in chilly Sierra streams or lakes and in the sauna ....

 

[GypsyBush]

I'm just ignoring LB for a bit... I'll come back to him...lol..

As far as WASHING...lol...

I'm a dirty hippie, remember...lol... I wash nothing... I love dirty jars...lol...

 

[grandpabear3]

i guess i should go to the newb section.....i forgot we are all a bunch of snobby non helping buttholes around here. i guess i'll do what gypsy does and post every post on every thread i subscribe to so a phat kracker can get some help 'round this mug!
HEY EVERYBODY.........

 

[Return of the Spork]

Kinda funny you guys got on the bud dryer subject. I started building mine the other week and am planning to finish today.

And no on the cleaning. Not needed yet at least.

 

[GypsyBush]

...

oh ya.....do you guys wash or do anything to your curing jars in between batches? ...

Whatch you need Bugs...?

Washing the jars..

I don't... I like the look of my trich caked jars...lol... And i always have a place to go get something to smoke... they do cake on pretty thick after a while..lol...

And yeah.. I don't believe anyone.. in the world...

I do not take anyone's "word for it"...

Anything I want to make an opinion on, I try to bounce it off of as many people as I can, then I brainstorm and make my own opinion... which almost always is totally different from the consensus..lol....

You should try it... some times I stir up quite a buzz by posting in "inappropriate" threads, but the way I see it.. everyone's got a brain right... well, alleged brain anyways...loll..

i just pick, but it is effective and does spur thought. nothing but good can come from that.

 

[BCtrippin]

I have never seen/made/smoked hash.

Never? Seriously? Never Ever had or even Seen hash??!!?????!!????

Well it sounds like somebody is gonna get FUCKED UP Tonight....lol.

You should invest in a hash pipe/bubbler. Its always good to have a glass pipe with glass screen that is STRICTLY for hash and oil. Man I could prolly get high for a week just taking resin hits off my hash/oil pipe...

 

[GypsyBush]

Funny.. I was gonna give him shit for the brick thing, but I couldn't think of anything worth saying about it....

So I decided I was going to ignore him for a bit... you know.. shoot out a cold Gypsy stare every once in a while... lol..


But now I have a serious question for him and I will not allow his lower moral standards to come between me and what I seek... ...my precious...

SOoooo...

LB, have you considered using a motorcycle radiator and some sheet metal to make your own ICE BOX?

I mean... they claim high efficiency... well, so does every radiator manufacturer in business today... and they don;t just go on motorcycles... they're everywhere...

A good radiator shop will charge a small fee to clean and repair one...

Some aluminum... some rivets... some HT silicone sealant... some hoses.. a res... a chiller... you're in business...

What do you think...?

 

[BCtrippin]

I think your on to something. But if you break down the cost and time... Is it still going to be cheaper to use motorcycle rads vs. the actual iceboxes?

Your looking at $150 for an icebox, Zero mods. Ready to go as is.

How much can you get motorcycle rads for? And how much time would be spent modifying one?

I am definitely interested, although this prolly wont help much, just more questions.

 

[GypsyBush]

Probably free at a local junkyard... Free means a case of beer or some bud in scavenger talk...lol...

Just a thought..

I don't need one... I run HEATERS in my op...lol...

Good points though...

 

[GypsyBush]

As far as mods... even a cardboard shroud would be effective at directing the air over the radiator before it enters the room...

They are already set up with fittings for hoses...

I'd look at the ducting dept @ the hardware store with the radiator in hand... I bet there is a perfect solution there...

That's all it is... a radiator with a baffle to guide the air over it...

You could even discuss percentiles of a fraction loss in performance, by design.. after all they have "engineered" this prodict for maximu efficiency .. right?

Or did they just do what I am saying and made it look pretty...

Don't get me wrong.. I didn't think of it..

The IDEA is brilliant, but the equipment can come out of the junk pile...lol..

But I am a scavenger... what can I say...lol..
