i need a new set of cans. i'm reluctantly rocking out on a pair of senheisser shitty mc shits, umm their HD 465, even running through dedicated amps and such, it's just not very pleasant. that's what you get for £30 though i guess. i need more money, and am thinking i might be out of job within a few months, took a look at the profit and loss for this month and oh deary me things do not look good, not one small bit! :( if i do get made redundant, well i'm packing up shop and going on holliday for 6 to 12 months :) canada to peru or something, bit of a road trip and such.

as to meauring, it's nowt to do with confidence, i jsut don't care and am too lazy :lol: my cheese mom hadn't been watered in like 8 days and was drop dead deadish, so instead of taking care to boost her back up i just drowned her in god knows how much ph8 water, she's just dandy :lol: i figure i don't need to worry about what i'm giving them until they show signs of hatred towards me. i fucing love being this laid back at times. i've a friend who works on the principal of "what's the point in leaving something till alter? you're still going to have to do it" well because later is alter and right now i am chillllllllled :lol:
I love my skullcandy's... about the 4th pair ive had, the sound is perfect from them, nice n crisp, clear and loud, they look good aswell lol

the girls are looking wicked smar3t ya gonna get a nice yield from them, whatcha going with next stain wise? im doing 2 more runs of this blueberry then im gonna swap for bubblegum and PPP.

would recommend making gumby hash with ya trim its easy to do and strong as fuck aswel, made sum at the wkend with the trim from 9 big blueberrys got just over half ounce 15.2 i think.
Evening Sambo mate, long time no speak, hows things...

Im hopin i get a good yield from them, anythin over a 4 oz will be a bonus from this grow, not sure what to go with next, still got some more of the BigBang seeds, will see how this smokes and if i like i might grow the other 3 out, or i may be taking a poll on what people think are the best strain and go for a few of each, depending if i throw the grow room in the attic depends on how many i grow, but i think i could get another 2 in this room... just.

Will have to have a look on how to make that, dont wanna waste any of my hard work.

so an inferior product as a result of adding non-active ingredients. weak! don't condone!

you sell hash on the street then be respectable about it and sell real hash, not cut shit to earn a few extra bob. i think you'll catch nothing but flak for suggesting methods aimed at boosting weight at a loss of quality :lol: no differnt to adding trim and sticks to baggies, makes me mad as hell.

i hear wot your sayin TTT but not every one wants mega strong shit that mongs you out an leavs you unable to do anythin i know a few people who prefer less potent stuff an hash is usually strong so its not just about the £££ an i dont sell on the street just to a few friends an i often end up given away more than i sell when my mates are short an that an it would be a bonus to be able to pad it out a bit

Glad your well mate, 15 hrs fuck that, i think i would be crying from the pain, not lookin forward to trimming, i get cramps in my hand when i clean my teeth in a morning... no lie lol.. so trimmin for an hour is gonna have me doubled over in pain, never mind 15hrs..

I dunno, i was just aiming for 4 oz total, but im not sure what i will get, either way its gonna be good... n the buds have fattend up nicely in just 1 week, gettin some propper fat cola's, so another 4-5 week and they should be bending under the weight... should be aswell, nearly used 250ml of cannaboost on those 2 at £20.00... worth it though i think, will be investing in the larger bottle for the next grow... The smell is so fuckin sweet, its like stickin my head between the g/f's legs and inhaling deep, i love it lol, not that she smell of cannabis, well not since we stopped anyway ;)

i guess i should av just lookd n saved myself the ear ache

This is by far the easiest and safest method. Save all your clippings, male plants, whatever. Dry them completely. Now take em, and place them into the blender, add the highest quality isopropyl alcohol you can get, they make a 99%, but sometimes you can only get 91%. Thats what I use the 91% it's cheap, like $2.49 a bottle.

Now pour enough in the blender to cover your herb, turn on the blender and wait about one minute, maybe two, but no more than two minutes, you want to use the blender enough to pulverize the herb and have it completely soaked...that's it. It's better to have too much iso than not enough.

I have heard of stories about people thinking they'll get more for there efforts and allowing the iso to soak in for a whole day. This does NOT work. It is a waste of time and good herb too, because what happens is you end up soaking out all the impurities too. It'll look green, and taste like shit.

Now comes the tricky part, (but I'm planning on an improvement to this step, I'll include it at the bottom, but I havent done it yet.) get out a bowl, I like a bowl with a flat bottom. Like a cereal bowl. Get out one coffee filter also.

Pour some of the contents into the filter that you are holding over the bowl, as it fills, try to grab the tops of the filter, and close it off so nothing can escape out the top. Gently squeeze the filter, extracting all the iso into the bowl below.

Basically you are all done, all that is left to do is to evaporate the iso, what I do is place the bowl on my monitor for about a day. Obviously keep an eye on it. You could also place it near a space heater. These are about the only methods I am going to condone. Stove top heat is way too high and could cause a fire! In the summer time you dont even need extra heat, the iso will evaporate naturally if left to itself. Evaporation usually takes about a day or less.

Now for some side stepping from the process, as mentioned above, an improvement I want to try is to buy one of those washable coffee filters that they sell at the market. There about 3 bucks with a permanent wire mesh. Its washable and reusable. (I told ya, I'm cheap)

Another side step to this, is I've found that oil can be a pain in the ass to deal with. Using your razor to scrape it up. Trying to get it off your fingers....yuck! Anyway, after your all done and about to throw all that blender'ed herb out.....toss a little into the bowl and when the iso evaporates...you have black hash instead of oil!

Taking this a step further, toss a little more into the bowl and you'll have black herb to smoke.

I have tried the black hash and black herb method and I like these much better than the oil. It's cleaner and easier to deal with.
Peace

Nice one. I am going to grow an autoflower so just getting a red spectrum light. I will go for the bigger wattage. Only thing is do i buy one from Ebay? or from a internet store? Anyone suggest a reliable retailer for the UK obviously?
Also what are your thought on the 300w CFLs are they Rogue?
ebay basement_lighting_ltd are not bad or Homewith Bargains is a good seller or there is charlieshydro1 or kitbagshop all of these i have used and been happy with them

still can't condone it mate :D if the client doesn't want to get monged out and unable to do anything, then they either don't hit it quite so hard, or they try and find something sativa which is uplifting and energetic etc. that's like opening a pub and if anyone wants anything weaker than imported russian vodka you just add water and say there you go, that should be a nice relaxing drink :lol: if you need a weaker drink you buy fosters, if you get mashed on fosters, then you simply don't drink quite so much.

and now you're fleecing amtes :lol:

don't mind me, i've no beef against you in person, just an idealist that would selkl 3.5g at £20 if he dealt, nothing but welld ried and cured etc :lol: if only life were that good :)

shit, just checked my grow, all my plant are over 3 foot tall( a few about 4 foot !!) and i'm only about 10/11 days into flower, think i mit've slightly over vegged the buggers. the bloody tents only 6 1/2 foot tall, ah well shit happens , i suppose i'd rather have that than little stunted buggers.
and tip top , 3.5g for £ 20??? bloody hell mate that was a while ago lol. i remember those days ...although i was payin about £15 for an 'E' back then too.

morning people, well its friday again so its tick collecting for me, another fuckin day of listening to lies, bullshit and excuses...feels like a party political broadcast. i fuckin hate chasing cunts for tick especially when its mates or even worse there wives/girlfriends and they havent even told their partners that they owe me, i mean my own bro's girl owes me nearly £200 and he doesnt fuckin know a thing about it!!! i've got people out there that owe me hundreds, one guy owes me nearly a grand a pays me about £20 a week, another few owe me around the 1 to 2 ton mark and i swear to fuck the cunts must use an invisibility cloak on fridays. admittedly i always eventually track the fuckers down, the us and uk govts should have sent a squad of dealers out after bin laden, fuck all those billions if i'd been sent out i'd have taken his ak 47 until the cunt paid for the henry he got a week last tuesday.

lol dura, that's fuck funny :lol: labour should make that into a billboard!

and whoa mate, that's what i call some serious ticks, sod that! old flatmate tried daeling once, but was basically being played himself, by everyone. he took 5 oz off his dealer to "hold" and give back when it was needed, but was free to smoke what he liked and sell what he liked, assuming he paid the money for it. so he starts pounding through the bag without scales, then figures he'll deal, without scales, but the only people he could find who would buy off him were a bunch of kids that apparently had no homes or lives or jobs and sat in the rain in the church door shelter thing smoking every night, and there was one mobile number to get hold of any of em, needless to say he went back one day to collect the £100 odd he'd figured he'd tick a bunch of kids he'd never met and were obv dodgy cunts. i laughed my ass off at him.

then he gives the 4 and a bit oz back, only he's kept it in paper bags for a month and now it's weighing in at 2. oh he got raped, he basically smoked about 1/2 and ounce and was chanrged £540 for it. he payed and everything, didn't stop and think, wait, it all just dried out! he's that dumb, lovely guy, but dumb as they come. just last night he came begging me to help him get a game working. he'd basically taken the executable loader file from the gam directoryt, pasted it somewhere else and then got miffed as to why running the .exe, not a shortcut, from this file would work, sigh.

it looks to be a freaking cracking day out there so i might have to get my ice cream on and go find a cycle path to wander down. i'm being all outdoor and active at present :lol:

and yeah, 3.5g, every here and there a friend will be going out with me etc and they'll suddenly say, hey, should we get some weed etc, so i will always weigh up a bag to 3.5 or 1.75 and and sell on the dot. sold some hash to my neighbour a while back, think he got 4g for £20, i just didn't really care, it was no loss out of my pocket
