Thanks man. Sorry I didn't get to comment earlier on your posts. You've been busy on the veg cab I see.

I've been playing around with craft beer and designs for my new brewery. Just have to make up my mind on direction for my setup.

Definitely need an upgrade and I have some extra cash to throw at it. Won't fit in my closet!

Like the way this one looks...


Or something like this...

thats look like sumthing I could make, actually look similar to some of the products I make every day (tho I would make a better finish of the joints of the table, look like somebody did grind em with a scrup disc instead of some 120/240/400 sand paper and some scotsbrite)

Wish you were down the street. I would hire you to do the metal work on the frame. I can handle the rest. I have a lot experience with plumbing metal lines and electronics is cake too. I use to have all the metal equipment and tools for repairs and fabrication on the cars we restored. I loved our plasma cutter. I guess I could see if my dad wanted to help me build it at his shop. Barter for an endless supply of beer! Lol. He built a bbq smoker with 18-wheeler smoke stacks, Hurst four speed shifter, flame paint job, and mag wheels.

Your plants are getting big. How's the auto doing?

Ooh yea the Auto, lemem get at pics before lights out (midnight)

DSC02630.jpg

forgot how old it is, could check my first post of it, well guess its around a week or 10 days now, last few days it seem`s it adapted very well to the Hempy and got rooted as it began to grow, so fare so good, and about 4 week`s until I have space under the LEDs

and yes could be fun if I was down the street, Im sure we could get each other in to trouble, and I would love to help make the frame, look like a day`s work and maybe 100$ worth of stainless steal (unless you want it acid proof/medical grade then its twice the price) and another 50$ on some good weels, and I would actually not grind the joints, I would use acid to remove the color from the Tic welding`s, less chance of rust and a cleaner surface (like we do on the products we make to ESA = EU Nasa)

Man, you could make a ton down here. Medical grade welding is critical on all the brewing equipment that touches the fermented liquids. Few around here have the skills to do it right. End up having to buy kettles with the right welds made at the factory at a huge premium.

The auto looks perfect.

well that is what I do, got my education on a ship yard but thats like 20 years 20 miles of weldings ago, since then I just upgraded it, have welding pass in most technics, Tic, Mig, Co2, electrodes, oxygen and can weld in aluminum, stainless steal, titanium, iron, high grade iron, but welding is only half my education, blue prints and tool skills take up the other half

Ooh yea and I actually have a work colleague that used to work at Carlsberg brewery :)

btw
did check with the salary is in the US, something like 20-30$ it seem`s for a metal worker, dunno the skills ?
I make 40$ where I am now plus bonus (you know what paid for my first LED panel ;))
so taxes and prices have to match if it should make any sense for me to make the move, have family friends in Oregon and also some distance family I don't know in Chicago I believe

p.s.

you have to fill the pipes with a Helium based gas or argon at the right flow to avoid getting oxygen in to the weldings so to speak (hard to explain technical stuff in english) if oxygen get to the welding before its cool enough you get a surface that is`t clean and will rust

some alu tape at one end with a few small holes (end of welding materiel 1,2 mm etc) and a tube at the other end with the gas at a 7-10m/s flow (argon at the top, helium at the bottom, helium is the cleanest but argon can be used, and its the same as you use on the tic welder) let it flow a few minuts before you start welding, and let it flow trough until you can touch the steel/welding

Hey Happy weekend! Here's a picture of my Lemon Skunk mainlining attempt. It's kinda hard trying to keep the branches tied down.

Yeah, way beyond me on your skills Slip. Pretty good gardener too!

Looks good. Some girls are hard to restrain. Ever grown lemon skunk before? :bigjoint:

Ever get that plant diagnosed? The one you were posting about earlier.

Hey Prosperian,

Looks like you traded the growing the girls for brewing beer. Sounds exciting. I tried my hand at making wine years ago.

This is my first time growing Lemon Skunk. I'm just playing around with the bunch of seeds that I came as part of my grow equipment deal.

My skywalker OG , no I didn't get any responses for help, but I'm just giving them plain water for now to see if that clears it up.

Ok I have six Skywalker OGs. Two of them look healthy and the other four has a bad case of curly leaves. The all in organic soil, are are being fed Advanced Nutrients. The are all being fed and treated the same. I have 12 plants are growing very well, but the other four have severe leave curling and aren't growing as fast as the other. Any advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking maybe they have a birth defect or something. They are in week three of flowering. I'm using 3 HPS 600 lights.

Hard to believe it's environmental because two of the same strains are doing fine along with the other six. You could be right, weak phenos.
Picture looks like toxicity (clawing) and heat (canoeing). Flushing the soil and then some light feeding might get them back on track.
How is your soil compaction in the buckets and PH?
I find that the plants get very sensitive about this time in flowering and it doesn't take much for them to show signs of stress. Keep me posted.

WW 12/12FS - Day 69 total - Apparently, I'm growing hand-grenades.

Oi there, fellas. How goes it? I'm going to have to take some snaps of my distillation OP for you Pros (when I get an extra second). I've been making my own moonshine, and bourbon for a few years now. Nothing else like your own 180 proof.
@ Slip - Pros is right about demand for medical grade weld work. I worked at a metal shop for a couple years, and a co-worker of mine (hardcore journeyman) who had his own TIG setup would take orders for home breweries, micro-distilleries, etc. and he could charge whatever he wanted. They would break their wallets.

Have a gnarly Saturday gentlemen.

Oh hell yes. You could retire off a skill like that if you moved to South Africa bro.

Six weeks flower finally!!! Have a few maturing buds with receded pistils (like the one below), but mostly clear with a little milky.

White Lavender


Scoped at 47 day flip. Clear with some milky.


Clear, but other buds are showing amber here and there. These need more time to cloud up.

Mmmm, frosty grenades. Those fat suckers will trim out nicely.

Pin, if you have the time and desire, I have a friend on here that could use some pointers on making whiskey. Ok to have him PM you?

Now, I'm no expert-crafter, but I don't at all mind answering a few questions if you think that'll help. I check my account daily. Usually in the AM.

I think he means me Pin,if you don't mind I would like to pick a knowledgeable brain on the subject.....mainly any info that would help me in constructing a personal size diy 2g still that i can use on my stove or a digital hotplate.I'm only looking to make a gallon or less at anytime,as that would last me a year:eyesmoke.A couple???real quick.....stainless or copper?whats the best corn?I heard any cracked corn.I'd appreciate anyones comments.peace
