Didn't get around to soaking last night...got tired and i don't like pushing through the sleepy eyes cause i'm bound to do something dumb as my depth perception fades. So i'm ready this morning and it snowed last night, gonna be 40's today so no problem keeping m thermos cool. With the IRT it reads -1F taking a quick shot inside the thermos. I'm still wondering how accurate the guns are cause after sticking it in the thermos and taking the temp i shot the ceiling and it read 59.0F and slowly climbed to 70F as the gun itself warmed back up. Wish i would have spent more money on a gun that came with a probe attachment to get more accurate temps.
Just an experiment, since i couldn't find a ss baster i grabbed the largest downstem from the shop and not sure exactly how much it ended up holding but the whole pile of trim was around 11 grams and there's a decent amount left on the paper(forgot to weight the ds before and after). After blasting the material weighed 5gs and my product weighed .45gs, i used approx 3/4can of Vector and blasted til clear. So i didn't use the cap you see in the pic, i used a cap from a bottle of Seagrams 7 Dark Honey lol, it fit perfectly with an o-ring in it and i hose clamped it snug. I used my 28micron bubble bag screen that i cut out and clamped it over the diffuser end. I was worried about the diffuser breaking but it would be tied up in the screen so no mess. I packed it pretty tight, used a long skinny drill bit to un pack it after removing the cap. Kinda fun experiment since the downstem cost me 5 bucks...was sitting around for a yr at least. I have found a glass baster though that i will probably buy for other small runs, it's the FoxRun brand baster and ACE had it.
Thermos - $8 16oz
Just drilled a hole to blast into and going to open the "drinking" hole for exhaust. Totally going to make a ss cap to use with this. But i'm not sure if i reallt need to worry much about butane absorbing anything bad from the hard plastic cap anyways. Going to perform the soak here in a wee bit since the pups just passed out.
Result from the downstem is very light in color compared to my soak with the same strain same harvest time. way smoother at this point too, but i'm saving all the rest and going to combine a bunch of random wax i have when i winterize.
8 months of snow. 10 months of cold. 2 months of a half assed summer 
Gonna give 'er a try, feels thicker than the FoxRun brand. 
Top of Chocolope, decided to bend the top few inches. Lookin great so far, 10days flower. Waiting for the clusters to get a wee bit bigger before i give it the Canna PK 13/14. Haven't purchased the Canna Boost but i hear it's good and it better be at $50 per 0.25Liters. What do you guys use to sweeten your plants? I'm currently using Sugaree by Cutting Edge Dev.
60cmx60cm. The 400w(chocolope is under this one) and one of my 150watters. This hood is good for up to 1000w it says, so i'm just saving up so i can get one finally. I'm not sure if i would bother going to a 600w but maybe it would be good enough. My biggest issue is height, only 5ft to the glass on the 400w...but this Choco is perfect, about 3.5ft to the tip of the main cola and by the end of flower the rest of the canopy will stretch a bit and fill out to just under 4ft. The bush is about 2.5x2.5ft, i like most of mine about that size or 2x2 depending how many i feel like packing into the flower room.
This plant has been under the 150 mainly and i'm going to get twice off it that i did under my 432w LED this last go around. I feel this plant here was slightly larger going into flower but not by much. it has the 400w to it's side also but as you can see only that very right side gets coverage and it seems a little intense for the leafs.
This will be my normal draining setup if i plan on winterizing. Drain the butane into the measuring cup and i'll add ethanol to that after butane boils off. 
my result from the 2.5hr soak, accidentally flicked some herb into it but it's getting strained again so big whoop.
