Make Bread, Not Vitriol.

O & R's awesome waffles

makes 4 waffles and some CO2 for your plants

start the night before

melt a stick of butter in the microwave

pour two cups of milk over the butter and put it back in the microwave just long enough to get your milk warm and remelt the butter, don't get it hot as temps over 120F will kill yeast, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract

meanwhile, measure out two cups of flour, two tablespoons of sugar, a teaspoon of salt (heaped if using kosher), and a spoonful of instant live yeast.

combine the milk/butter with the dry ingredients until just mixed, batter should be on the thin side, not thick, add a little more milk if necessary, don't worry about getting all the lumps

loosely cover and put it in your grow room overnight, because you have your lights on overnight

next day separate two eggs and wisk/whip the whites till frothy/soft-peaks/your-arm-almost-falls-off add the yolks to the batter and carefully fold in the whites

put it in your waffle maker and cook it, then use real maple syrup and not that fake shit

Are you in a legal state or country? Kinda hope so cause you are more likely to make the news with a strong argument against legalization, unfortunately.

Alternatively, in a non cannabis friendly local, prison might be the safest place for you, where they don't allow you to play with sharp objects. And lessons are learned the hard way.

Scary.. The new Reefer Madness: "Are you kids kids burning candles?! YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!" God willing, I wont become another one of the long list of 82 people who die by candle each year... reminds me, gotta go stack some hay next to my candles.

Let's just be crystal clear, for me, you, and anyone who reads.
Simple yes or no.
You are sure that there is no way you could set up a candle safely in your grow? You just couldn't. If your kid had a science experiment, or there was a gun to your head, and the gangster said: "Set up this candle safely in your grow, without being a ninny about it, or you die!!" .. You just couldn't? You'd die?
I'll go first, my answer is :yes.
If my kid had a science experiment or a gun was to my head, I could light a candle in my grow, or yours.
Now your turn, yes or no?
Impossible to harness a candle and not be a ninny? Yes or no, could you or couldn't you. And if you say you can't, I'll agree, you can't. If you can't, you can't...
If you can't, correct me, it seems you also believe it's impossible for every other person in every other situation on earth that isn't you and yours. And if you're going to keep yapping, acknowledge right now that what we see in the picture below is the source of your ire.
Go on record it is your belief mature homo sapiens in the 21st cent can not be trusted with a tea candle under any circumstance.
Again, if you can't, you can't. Not the raging inferno of your imagination, what is in this photo... Is that about right? Ok, you got the grumpy hall monitor niche cornered. You fire hazard trolls are washed.... fuck, just burnt my finger!

you leave that candle unattended for hours at a time, i guarantee it will make soot. the wick will get long, it will flicker and you will make soot.

Stop Candle Soot
5 Easy Ways to Reduce Candle Soot

One of the most common complaints about candles of all kinds is that sometimes they soot. There are a number of ways to greatly reduce the amount of soot coming from your candles which will also help them to burn better. Today I will share some tips on burning candles to help you have a better experience with your candles and save money. First lets take a look at what causes soot from a candle flame.

Why Do Candles Soot?

Soot from a candle is caused when there is incomplete combustion of the fuel. Incomplete combustion can be caused by a number of different factors. Two of these factors are the balance between the wax and wick in the candle and disturbing the candle flame. The fuel to the candle flame is the liquid wax which is being drawn up through the wick. Once the flame of the candle has started drawing the liquid candle wax up the wick, it does so at a steady rate. When the flame of the candle is disturbed the size of the flame changes and the amount of fuel being used is no longer consistent. If there is too much fuel for the flame to use it is put off in the form of soot.

Keep Candles Out of Drafty Areas

Burning candles near air vents, fans, or open windows will cause your candle to produce soot. When a breeze causes the candle flame to bounce around, its size changes. A still flame will use a consistent amount of fuel. A flame that is bouncing around will draw fuel up the wick at a variable rate, sometimes too much, other times, not enough. When a too much oil is drawn into the wick and then the flame size shrinks, not all the fuel is burned. The extra oil is expelled as soot into the air.

Use Vases and Hurricanes That Are Open On Both Ends

Many event locations, where candles are used for lighting and ambiance, require that the flame of the candle not be exposed above the top of the holder. This could mean the flame of your votive candle must be below the top edge of the glass or that pillars and taper candles need to be in tall cylinders or hurricanes. At first this sounds like a good idea to also keep the draft away from your candles, and it is. However, using a closed bottom cylinder or vase can create problems of its own. Fire needs and uses oxygen to burn. When you have a candle down inside of a container the oxygen is quickly used up and more is needed for the flame to continue burning. More air is sucked into the container through the top but at the same time the warm air heated by the candle flame is trying to get out. The flow of cool air coming into the container fights against the flow of warm air rising out of it. These setup creates a draft inside of the container which produces soot. To reduce the draft created inside of container, use one that is open on both ends. Raise the container up off the table about a half inch using something that can spaced apart so air can get in through the bottom. For my test I used 3 stacks of coins but you should use something more stable.

Put Candle Cappers On Jar Candles

If you are burning jar candles with an opening of about 3" you can purchase candle cappers for less than $4.00. These simple candle accesseories separate the warm rising air from the cooler falling air, reducing the turbulance in the jar. Jar candles will usually start to produce more soot the further down into the glass they burn. This is because the flame is getting farther away from the top of the container.

Trim The Wicks

One of the simiplest ways to keep candles from producing soot is to trim the wicks. I recommend cutting the wicks to 1/4" for the first lighting. If after a few minutes the flame of the candle looks too big or is bouncing around (while not in a draft) you should cut the wick a little shorter. A burning candle should never be left unattended. If you like to leave your candles burning for a long time the wicks may need to be trimmed again. Don't be afraid to blow a candle out, trim the wick and relight it.

Purchase Quality Candles

Make sure you are getting a quality candle. A well made quality candle doesn't mean expensive, it means well made. Anyone can melt some wax through a string in it and call it a candle. Is it a candle? Yes. Will it burn? Maybe. Should you spend your hard earned money on it? Probably not. The internet is full of pages on which people are selling candles. Type the search term "candles" into Google and you will see there are 165,000,000 results. An experienced candle manufacturer will know how to match the wick size, wax type, fragrance, and candle size to produce a great burning candle.

you're talking about being able to leave them unattended for long amounts of time, in a garden, with fans, and don't think soot will come from this? i dunno, seems pretty logical it would make soot, and i've seen it with my own eyes. so it's not something particular to me, just to an indoor garden with fans and humidity.

Thank you for the useful information. I do sourdough waffels, think I could use the starter instead of microwaving?


I'm a little scared of the radiation.

If you got soot, you got soot, I don't know what to say other than the world is a big place, every garden is it's own snowflake. A lot of assumptions, x, y, and z. I mean, specifically, I got 10 x 10 rooms, I got a heater, a humidifier, a dehumidifier on the plants. I got an exhaust that hardly ever kicks on because climate is temperate, an ambient fan, 72-78 degrees, 60-65%H. I put some candles in water on a metal perch, they burn, no big whoop, no soot. I don't know man. Different strokes. I'm starting to thing maybe I was just raised around more candles than other people? Honestly. I don't get it, lit candles all my life, bought a half dozen fountains, they break but still cool. Maybe they are some old tyme relic. I'm a fan of Smokey the Bear too, but I honestly never knew candles needed such a defense. I post the pictures cuz seriously, what are we talking about? It seems the backlash could be summed:"we can think of only ways it will not work. We can not imagine a way it could work. Thinking it could work is stupid, I hope you burn your house down" I mean, that's an easy game. Put the candles under the plants. lean a candle against the wall of a grow tent. Water with kerosene...

If it were you holding the gun or raping my non existent child then I guess the answer is yes. I could not convince someone infinitely smarter than I to use a cheaper, safer, fermenter.

Let's dial it back, I'm sure you're an ok guy. How about if I put it this way, it's not crazy to think you'd buy this thing just for the thing it is, Right? Because it's beautiful, and tranquil, and that's what 99.9% of them are sold for, right? And all the fountains, all the spas, all the tea candles, we know they aren't burning down buildings, right? And if we remove this seeming dogma of "what must take place in a grow room", we can agree there can safely exist in one room both plant and pretty candle, right? You can imagine at least some scenario. Because, again, these things are sold, on their own, precisely because they are safe and pretty and nobody is dying. I'm not hating on any other co2, don't think you're stupid for it. But now you're talking "cheaper" when it's pennies either way, and as for safer what more can be said. Mix in some kind of precaution, flat out, you would really have to go out of your way to burn your house down. Not going to dumb down a concept to the lest common denominator. You can drive your car through your front door. Don't do it... Like I said, raise a bunny, they're cute too... OR, since you were gonna buy that pretty fountain anyway, try popping it in there.

She may be worshipping satan, I dont know.

But if soot is a concern, its going to happen.

Candles have been around a really long time. We've kinda hit the candle tech outta the ballpark over the last 10,000 years :) Again, I don't see all this soot. You know most soot is when you blow them out. But, below is the kind of candle tech specifically for soot and safety and all that.. a lantern.

Actually, maybe you ain't too cool. Couple messages ago you were talking about prison rape, then you immediately follow it up with this unsolicited thing about raping your non existent kid.. That's weird man, you got rape on the brain. Maybe you're just a weirdo afraid of microwaves and candles and thinks about prison and child rape a lot. This thread is about pretty candles and cuddly pot plants, not your one degree of separation from rape. So chill out.

Im willing to play devils advocate.
Im picturing steel ammo boxes suspended over the canopy containing burning candles. Holes drilled so the co2 can spill onto the area.

My honest concerns would be.
Constantly buying and disposing of candles. Or i guess if you never get pussy you could pour and recycle your own.

Next i have no idea if candle wax could possibly ignite and cause a much larger fire. It must have a flash point
And having multi candles in my steel box could reach this?

Im still not sure how multi candles would effect heat. Would it help or cause me to run ac more.

Would the boost be worth the hassle and extra cooling.
These would be my legit concerns.

Wax smell also but i guess you could just run it in the veg room

What's the space? Tent, room? dimensions? Do you run co2 tank now? If so, what rate of depletion?

LOL this thread is funny. I'm about to get all fucking dangerous and cut a hole in my garage and put a high CFM fan pushing air out to suck the exhaust from my furnace and water heater down through my roof and fill my garage....(new appliances they burn blue not red flame shut your mouth about CO. lol I have monoxide meters in my house.)
