Cheers,

Now that I've answered Q's here are some pics lol.

This is my inline bubbler with splash guard. I added another diffused down stem and attached it with a Keck clip, so it has double diffusion so nice. I don't know if you can see the splash guard inside but it's a splash guard/perc actually. Sorry it's so dirty lol. The clear bowl is the original, don't mind the cheaper rasta/fumed one in the back. My favorite part is the mushroom in the marble, love that thing.

The herb trich shots I separated by strain. The one with the purple hues is the Tahoe, obviously the favored of the two lol.

Nice bubbler and weed lol don't worry bout the dirt, we all know they're a bitch to clean, leave it to soak in something for a few days, or put some table salt in it when its dry and swoosh it right around, that usually gets the worst off I'm going to try and work one up out of a nice piece of maple when I get the lathe and chisels XD

Those buds look like ice man I cant imagine the kick

Doobieus said:

It's okay Huck it happens and we've all been there. Vinegar does work in a pinch, but it's not good for all of the time. You're going to get proper Ph up/down so you're okay, you're learning. If your tap water is around 6-7 just flush plain water do not Ph with the vinegar again. My guess is that soil is pretty acidic at this point. Flush should help, if it doesn't with just water. Then you're going to either buy some Clearex or make some.

Pretty sure the recipe is out there yeah Grazz? Help Huck out, I forgot to save it again doh!!

Iso and any real coarse salt, I prefer kosher or sea salt. It's pretty much like 420 cleaner, I'll use the daily use formula when I am being really lazy and have the extra cash though. Picked up a lot of tricks from the first smoke shop I worked for, that was one of them lol. Prior to that I was boiling my pipes. I've just been lazy I usually keep it super clean though. Thanks MB it hits like a dream and it's pretty unique I think, I like it and the buds too lol.

That sounds cool, a bong or what? Be sure to share the final product with us, that would be really cool.

it shouldn't do them any harm to flush again, so long as it's just plain water, maybe wait 'til tomorrow so the plant can wick off some of the water you've just put in.

When you do it next literally put it in the bath and run the shower head (or garden/sink and use a hosepipe) through the medium for a good 5 mins so there is PLENTY of run off.

There is a great technique coined 'make it rain' basically you do regular heavy waters and the next time you feed, the plants use it a lot more efficiently and fully. Plus it helps to keep your soil PH in check and stops salt buildup which makes it really easy to flush at the end when harvesting and is generally good practice to keep the plants healthy

the cycle goes (when you see the plants need water) Water, heavy water, feed, and repeat. But in future wait till the soil is dry 1 inch down OR lift the pot and you can just tell by how heavy/light it is, heavy = needs no water, light = needs lots of water, in between... you get the gist

I was going to make a bong first to get the basic wood turning down, treat the inside with linseed oil and leave to soak in for a day or so. And then a bubbler, seeing as I have a bong that'll last a while now, so it doesn't matter if I mess up the wooden bong XD need to get the lathe and the likes first

Yeah it is definitely nice smoke, the kick is awesome!!

Yes flush with regular water again, do not add anything at all. Bring it from the mountain, from the tap, from the super market, it doesn't matter as long as it is plain. Even if the Ph is on the higher/alkaline side I doubt it would do anything but help bring it back into the proper range.

MB is right you're gonna want about 3-5 gallons of water per 1 gallon of soil to flush all the nasty stuff out. The easier way though is just to keep running water through until your run off is clear or damned near clear.

Lol yeah that's a good plan. That would so suck if you didn't have one, and you were just about done making it when...... something fucked up. BAD times lol.

You are good people thank you both, they are sleeping now, tomorrow its bath time... Have some super skunk here and I ll try to roll it up have a nice time (day or night)

I saw the ceramics when i was browsing around for my light, but for some reason i never bothered to look in to them. would you say that they are supieror?

I'm liking it but couldn't say for sure which is superior without a side-by-side grow running off of the same timers and rez.. just too many variables in each grow to say either way.



Grazz

Happy 420 250 clubbers!! Toke em' if you got em', may your lungs be filled with smoke/vapor and may your bongs bubbles, bowls ember, and vaporizers vapor!!

As for me, I'm already starting joy!!

Thanks Grazz its simple one !

I flush them realy nice, hope all the nasty stuff has gone! About the next feeding, when the soil dry out which will be after 6-7 days ???

don't base it on however many days do the 1 inch down test and make sure it's actually dry... No more vinegar! XD and yes start feed at 1/4 to 1/2 strength, when they are dry again just plain water them, next time they're dry, heavy water, then next time do a full strength feed, follow the - water, heavy water, feed - cycle and you should leech your soil clean and keep it clean while promoting really good nutrient uptake.

Happy 4/20 to y'all lol shame we don't specifically have it over here and I have no weed so smoke a few for me XD
