it will gum up your vape. You can get a vape for rosin like a kandypen. Rosin tastes way better than qwiso. No doubt about it. The colour is different too. This weekend i will break out my press again and see if i can get some rosin yield. :)

Thanks mister, I figured that is why my wife had so much trouble with her new Puffco. I just do not understand why I cannot clean if effectively. Both atomizers have a black coating on the bottom of the ceramic bowl that will not let go. Do you think it will work with a magneto since there is an actual coil at the bottom of the chamber?
 
I think in an air 1 with the cup thing you can do it. I would put some herb in then a blob then herb. My utilian 721 worked great til i smoked shatter in it. I have flushed it out with alcohol and everything but the air passages are a bit clogged or something.

It still works its just a slower draw.

The vape ones have the heat elements in the cup you put your oil or shatter or rosin in. So you put a blob on the element and puff a way. But cheap ones are hot as hot knives. Good ones have temp control. Kandypen is good but i should have got a source orb.

I am sitting on two packs of Candida-1 I am hoping to pop in the near future. I am currently flowering out Mothers Little Helper from cult classics and have another pack. The Candida are fems so I was hoping to use as a cherry buster in the reversing world. I am also registered medical so I would imagine I have some sort of access to testing and don't have to do my own? Not sure on that though. I also have zero issue sending the right people cuts for anything other then shipping.
And just to bust the lovers of spraying's nuts, I guess I should spray now eh? lol

Hey OMS, I have a 1:1 cut of my Blue Harley which is Blue Ripper x Harlequin, short runner too I finish it 7 weeks from flip. I have it in seed form as well in BX1's and found one pheno (which I lost the cut!) that was pretty well all CBD, very mild stone but worked great for migraines and inflammation (lower back). Either's (clone, seeds, or both) available pro bono, for cuts of the 1:1 I'd need ~3 weeks to run some. In the GTA via email addy on my icon.

I love how you prove how kickass you are with something other then your beautiful pictures and bragging rights.
One love GroErr.
Cheers :)
 
The final plant of the 2018 harvest is now chopped and drying. This is one i have been waiting for and look forward to trying in a week to 10 days. Malawi X Panama roughly 12 weeks outdoor flower. Weather is turning to rain and snow this week so the timing is good.20181106_101102.jpg

5 x 4 is a custom build or a giant timber. Either would make your grow happy. Also a pair of 315 CMH might do a decent job of it.

5x4 is the best use of the space I have ... I was given free reign to build what I need and that size just worked nicely

I have a 3x4x5 plus another shelf above with a light (both for veg) and 2 5x4's for flower with a third 5x4 to be built in the new year along with another a 3x4x5 for veg

I'm going LED in the second tent to see what I get ... was thinking CMH but trying to keep down on the heat as my ventilation system will need a major upgrade come the new year
 
I find heat is directly related to wattage. Any efficicency claimed otherwise never ran in a tent (energy can not be created or destroyed etc.).

If you are in a good tent all energy goes back to heat. So wattage reduction for decent yield is how to go. Strips or CMH i would say and you will rock the space.

I want a 9 foot x 3 foot space so i can run all my current lights right :D

You are correct, 1 watt = 3.412BTU heat per hour no matter the light source drawing that 1 watt.

"No matter the light source drawing"... Is this correct? As in 1000 Watts of HPS puts out same heat, as a 1000W MH as a 1000W CMH, as 1000W of fluro, as 1000 Watt LED ?If so explain, I thought each type of bulb had different efficiencies so different amount of energy went to lumen output while different amount as heat. As well as bulbs age, they put out less lumens, so the lumen/ratio gets worse.

Plese enlighten if you know more than me, its quite probable

Very true, heat is directly proportional to wattage depending on the light being used ... different types of lights have different energy conversion efficiencies

I am restricted in what I can use due to the house insurance not covering a fire if the source of the fire turns out to be a diy light or light strips that are not CSA approved

In regards to CMH, back to heat again ... LED is the best option for par per watt of power used ... I'm at roughly $0.68 per gram based on my last harvest and I think I can get that down even further with LED

I am not biased but wow Timbers work good. It is worth it to get Dan to make or sell you the best light and the best part is you will have no regrets.

Blurple lights should be called regrets.

2 cmh though...geeze they frosted up my buds the most of anything.

Within a tent with reflective walls the heat is there almost the same between all light sources. The byproduct is heat. You go back to the original heat per watt. I do not have the value but it so many btu's per watt.

If done in the open out of a tent you may be able to dissipate it better.

And an air cooled hood wicks the heat away making the CMH with a air cooled hood really nice for max lumens per watt within a heat range.

I have run 315 CMH
VERO
STRIPS
QB BOARDS
But never old school

All that being said about 400 watts of light in a 4 x 4 is dissipated with a 4 inch scrubber at full power to maintain an ambient heat under 80 with lights on. With an ambient 68 degrees main floor and 65 in the basement where the tent resides.

Based on a timber and a grow strip light and a quantum board.

And plants grow better under 80 with no co2.

And any gain claimed with heat production being better per wattage needs to be really observed. The difference is probably less than 10% from HPS to Veros but veros do produce more lumens per watt.

That is where the efficiency lies. You can produce with 600 watts what you could with 1000
watts etc. And for personal use I am doubling my usage in a 4 x 4. I will break it down smaller but i think the goal for a hobbyist is the best dank in the least space and energy requirement.
