Tough race on tyres and riders in that heat on that track. It was only 13 or so out of 21 that finished
Fabio was un catchable. Good to see Rossi on the podium again.

Shame Miller crashed out- easy points if he had of finished.
Whats the story with the Yamaha engines and the rule on the number. I'm just getting back into watching and im not familiar. Something about 7 engines normally but 5 this season and Yamahas keep failing. Can u elaborate on stuff like is the the team thats has restricted engines or the rider or?


Is your Duke the V2 or the V4?

It’s per rider for the season. Went down to 5 this season due to it being shorter.
Yeah that would’ve been a right piss off having your engine fail when your running second. Yamaha have got a gremlin.

The V twin.:)

edit. Yeah, no luck for Miller. At least in the interview they did pre race he sounded like an Aussie again....:lol:

Are you saying 2.5kg of megacrop makes 25L of watering solution? Eg, 100g x 25 = 2.5kg.
yeah about that. Depending on what rate you mix it at yeah. I mix at 200g per litre and dose as 5ml = 1g. But that strong you can get fallout issues so don’t recommend it unless your really going through it.

How does everyone go about getting rid of their old rootballs and trim? I just chuck it straight in my bin and some my mates reckon thats crazy but i feel like its better than dumping it somehwere
I do the same. Just in rubbish bagS and in the bin. You’re not gonna get caught even if he is watching the camera cos it’s not like he knows what’s in there.
And I put the main stalks with the fire wood pile to burn later.

Just thought id do quick review of the centurion table top trimmer coz i remember someone was interested in it and ive used it a few times now.268.jpg
First of all buying a trimmer like this does not mean the end of trimming for you it just makes it less tedious and cuts a few hrs off depending on how much you have to trim. Pretty much what you have to do is just take all the big fan leaves off and seperate the buds this still takes me a couple hours a plant and the leafier you leave the buds the worse itll trim so its balancing how much time you wanna spend deleafing vs what youre happy with the end result. I wouldnt recommend it for anything under a 2.4mx2.4m grow area or if youre doing multiple flower rooms/tents and are harvesting often it cost $8k for my local grow shop to order it in for me and im only happy with it because i went thirds in it so only paid 2.7k ish for it. It works well and it works shit as i said takes a bit of getting used to but when it works well it churns through it well. The bigger heads usually have to be ran through a couple times and can block up the barrell. As for it knocking trichomes off i say barely some buds that are foxtaily it knocks some off the foxtails but thats about it and the vast majority of the trichomes are contained within the bud not the outside surface area of the bud so thats dumb. This is trimming wet i wouldnt try trim dry i reckon thats when you get some serious trichomes being knocked off and buds being destroyed because it does munch the odd bud a bit like in this pic269.jpg
Some buds it trims perfectly, generally the small to medium dense buds come out best and it does munch a bit of bud more so the larfy stuff so if you care about a few grams of wastage dont get one. Over all its pretty good and saves time but it can be rough and make you think if its really worth the money sometimes. Heres some pics of various buds been trimmed by it notice the smaller the better trim.

Cheers mate. Yeah the fact i went thirds in it is the only thing stopping me from feeling like it wasnt worth the money 8k is a very high price tag and me being a fitter and machinist i know exactly how much time and money would go into makeing one of these and its not 8k worth i feel 5-6k worth...BUT it does work

Yep ive been thinking of that last couple days but im not sure theres much i could do either than add some small fins in the barrell to tumble the bud more. And im gonna machine up some new legs for it coz currently we have to prop it up on cardboard underneath the back legs so the buds will actually go through it otherwise they just stay there
