This is interesting! I really want to buy a Harvest Right freeze dryer but they are expensive to import to Europe. I would like to experiment with freeze drying + BHO extractions. Any review would be much appreciated.

Some people would advice you to learn the art of growing pot the old school way, growing in soil. Suggesting the smoke tastes better, it’s cheaper, 100 % organic and much easier to control. I don’t know about the taste when growing in soil but I totally respect that. Anyway, IMHO its primarily...

What you say makes sense. I'll get the larger ones.

If pipes is the only option, would you choose 4" or 5" pipes for your perpetual grow?

I searched again, this time more carefully. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t find it. So I have no other option than the pipes. The 4” and 5” pipes are fairly inexpensive. Much cheaper than buying the Aeroflo20 or Aeroflo 28 system.

Should I run the UV T5 supplement lights for only short periods every day in the end of the flowering cycle or the whole 12-12 period?

Interesting information! The LED light industry has taken a huge step forward since my last try. I really need to read some literature on wavelengths and cannabis.

I think I follow your advice and choose the Quantum boards. I have read nothing but positive reviews about them. Heliospectra is less known and more expensive. Sounds great about the resin production. I needed to hear that information before investing.

Yes, I do run the lights on nights. It helps, but not enough. A split AC unit would be my first choice but problem is that the electricity system can’t take the extra load from the AC. Also, I rent the place so I must avoid making any holes thru the concrete walls. After reading the answers...

Thank you for the advice, much appreciated! I will search again, this time emailing the fence suppliers. The Stinkbud thread and the thread with Alarics adventures (https://www.rollitup.org/t/an-outlaws-journal.879536/page-5) have inspired me so I am highly motivated for the moment. :)

I finally decided to copy Stinkbud's Aero instead of buying a system like the Aeroflo20 or Aeroflo28. The farmers in my country all use metal, wood or solid plastic for fenceposts so I can't find the right material. Anyway, I did find white PVC pipes for plumbing. The standards are 4" and 5". I...

Thanks for posting your experiments. Whats the pros and cons with kogelrohr vs short path that most people use? Is it possible to scale it up to make it profitable?

I couldn’t stand to hear more than a few minutes of his delusions. Is that the same guy who marketed a dangerous looking glass extractor a few years ago? I remember a lady dressed in synthetic tight clothing close to the extractor. If so, his “inventions” are what nightmares are made of. It...

Thank you for your advice, Ryantee55 and Canadian1969! It is a lot of money but I am willing to invest if it means that I can grow during the summer. I keep telling myself that it’s a good investment because I can grow year-round. I found some info on Heliospectras LEDs that looks very...

I used the British Terminal Unit formula to convert watts to BTU. I have 2 x 600 watt HPS with cooltubes in my grow room. The LED is marketed as a replacement for 1000w HPS with the power consumption of 630 w. 1200 w x 3.41214 = 4095 BTU/h compared to 630 w x 3.41214 = 2150 BTU/h Then I used...

I use HPS for bloom. Problem is that my grow room gets too hot during the summer months. I have considered an AC unit but unfortunately it would add too many amps. So far, I have closed down the grow during the summer. My interest is focused on extracts. I make extracts of the entire harvest...

It would be interestering to try that technique next time I have material from a medical strain. Temperature control is almost impossible with my ghetto setup so a heated magnetic stirrer is on my wishlist too.

Thank you OldMedUser for helping me with the syringe problem! This batch is from some old plant material that I use for learning how to make more pure extractions but I agree with you about the loss of terpenes. I guess that I also lose some of the terpenes when winterizing because the ethanol...

;)

I decarboxylated BHO in cocounut oil and collected the product in a syringe. The black part in the end of the plunger that seals the barrel is made of rubber or silicone. I need to know if coconut oil dissolves the black part. Is it safe to store the product in a plastic syringe?
