Man arrested after bong shaped like an AK-47 causes alarm

A man who was seen on a Sydney street with what appeared to be an AK-47 assault rifle sparked alarm in Sydney’s north-west on Wednesday evening, causing multiple witnesses to phone triple zero.
But police who swarmed Windsor Road in Rouse Hill, and even sent up a helicopter to try to track down the reported gunman, soon discovered the “weapon” was in fact a bong shaped like a gun.

Police allegedly recovered this bong, shaped like an AK-47 assault rifle, from a car in Rouse Hill.

Police said officers began searching the street about 5.30pm and reviewed CCTV footage from surrounding businesses, which led them to an unlocked and unattended car in a nearby church car park.
Police searched the car and allegedly found an imitation AK-47 assault rifle inside. It will be alleged in court that the seized item was a bong, a water device commonly used to smoke marijuana. It could not fire any bullets.

A police helicopter that joined the search soon found a man in nearby grassland.
He was arrested and taken to Castle Hill police station where he was charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm and intimidation.

The 50-year-old man was refused bail and is due to appear before Parramatta Local Court on Thursday.
A large silicon AK-47 shaped bong can be purchased online for $39.90.

Are you talking using a sump pump to deliver nutes, or removing the runoff? Which lines are getting clogged?

Submersible pumps are designed to move a LOT of liquid, which isn't good for delivery. For removal, they'll still leave a fair bit in your trays that you're going to need a wet-vac to clear anyway.

A more powerful pump won't really help in either scenario.

Are your lines clogging or the drippers? Check out Netafim netbows they are really good and I have never had a clog in over 2 years using them but I also use good soluble ag nutes.

Yes I do the same I have the big 50L pots from bunnings in saucers, I usually feed til just the first sign of run off but have to wet vac them a few times especially when some drink more than others. I have a large Netbow dripper in each pot. . I chuck 5 plants in each pot and usually 1 per pot get swamped so I cut them out early in flower. This run ended up with 40 plants, cuts down on veg time and get nice thick stalks.

your invited to, just need positive vibes,on there no dumb stuff that only you think is funny, bro please
You're coming across right now as kinda borderline desperate.

Funny: "haha", "peculiar", "ridiculous" or "stupid"??? I'm going to guess you'll choose Option-E....."all of the above".

On the subject of stuff only you think is funny, let's agree to pass on the Roscoe P. Coltrane & Frank Spencer stuff, eh? We're past that shit, yeah?

Thanks for the invite. Tag me when you get there & I'll happily follow-along.

You have My Word as an ex-English (FUCKING POM!) gentleman, that I will not disrupt your grow journal.

For those of you who may remember Ruby Fruit........

Today, I found a couple of absolutely fucking stellar nugs that he sent me a couple of years ago when I was in a really bad way & desperate for sleep. Pineapple Chunk & Gorilla Breath.

After getting the relief I needed, I put them away in airtight jars in the fridge until I found them again this arvo. Opened both jars - fresh as a daisy.

Gorilla Breath methinks........

Thanks, Brother!
