thanx for that, have you done dry ice hash with fresh frozen? would you have to let the hash dry then?

I'm sure it's possible without drying but I have a feeling it will be a much cleaner easier project with dry buds, and you'll likely yield a bit more as well. Dry trichs are just so much more dense than fresh trichs... I'm kind of curious though. Perhaps if it was all cold enough, and with dry ice it will be, then it wouldn't be a problem. Have enough to try both ways? :)

Mmm...Dry ice hash...Sup Gassy, they killed the aquarium thread....How's the grow going?



How much are houses out there, like 3 bedroom...Jobs to be had? I'm a cook, willing to commute...


I imagine dry ice hash with wet trim might "gum up" the works...But who knows, like to see the results...youTube didn't have any relevant videos?

oh yeah it mounted high enough(its at the top tent 5ft, canopy level is 2-3ft lights are at 3 ft, plants grow above lights often, but i just turn them as i dont use the wings) as for the spread the cool tube will just help to diffuse the light and shoot it at sideways angles the the plants. actually i think i got a little sunburn on my stomach fixing a fan to cool it. why arent you running UV?

well i have to point out it wasnt like one brownie that we ate,(2 of us) we ate the whole tray(14x14 probably)

i have heard of it being doen with fresh, but i would freez it with dry ice then shake it and add dry ice this might be cold enough to freeze everything to solid

Why did they kill it? That's lame :( I hope yours are doing well, and assume they are. Houses range greatly in CA. Marin county for instance is 1mil + for anything while other places are fairy affordable with 3br from 75-155k. Basically if you want to be in a decent large city it costs a lot of money. CA has one of the highest costs of living and there are very few jobs atm - 11.5% unemployment for the state atm. Pretty place though.

I'm not running UV due to moving my grow into the attic. My fixtures straight up won't fit through the hatch and are additionally extremely heavy - not interested in that type of weight up there. Edibles are weird because once you get past a certain point, which can be very hard to do, they start to have a different effect. I remember going to Eddy Lepps birthday party one year and all we did for the entire day was smoke and eat and eat and eat and all of the food was laced. At first I tried to monitor my dosage but after I realized that I had consumed roughly an ounce of bud in the form of hash edibles I just gave up. Must have had ten different types of cookies, five different cakes, at least two different pot ice creams, caramel, peanut brittle... I can't describe the almost floating feeling that resulted - no tiredness, just lightness. It was really weird, never been to that state since.

Don't forget, I live in Los Angeles, so I'm well familiar with the cost of living in Cali...And I also know price ranges in CA vary greatly...I was asking more specifically about the paradise/chico area. It's all good, I can just craigslist it. Sick of LA, feel like getting out for a little while.

lol, ah, didn't realize you were already from CA. Chico is pretty cheap all around. Cheap food, cheap supplies, super cheap booze... You can get a nice 4br 1 block from campus for less than 160k. 85-145 further away. Paradise can be a bit cheaper. I was looking at a big place in Magalia (just north of Paradise) that was 5000sq ft, 20ft ceiling, on 15 fenced and gated acres... and it was like 180k. They had a rent to buy for I want to say 950/month - I realize much higher than having it legitimately financed but still demonstrates how cheap it was. BBlah, gorgeous property, I wish the wife didn't mind the seasonal snow as much.

If you go 20 min north of Chico prices drop in half. But you're really starting to get into methhead land.

i have a half lb of mixed fresh frozen trim with the couple of oz of fresh popcorn nug, I see alot of people using the 220 bag for dry ice, this seems too large, why not the 73 micron? or 120 even?

would you like to add them? i can help you with that, there is a very simple way to do this. recently i ordered several t5 bulbs of the net, they came in these cardboard tubes about 3in diameter about 5ft long. so i had an extra t5 ballast i wired it up cut holes for the tombstones and covered the surface with hvac tape to make it reflective, very lightweight, and better than hanging all that metal! you could probably get the tubes at a packing store or hardware store, i just use screw in hooks to suspend it with chains screw right into cardboard, it is surprisingly thick. as far as fire, well flouros arent know to have this happen and i dont think it is a major concern, i could see where hid and cardbourd or incandesant, but the heat form fluoro isnt shit.

attic shit.. its not hot up there?

Not sure. I want to say the silk screen I used was much larger than 220 and it came out pretty clean. If I had a whole set I would use the work bag for my dry ice extraction and then I'd use my other bags to clean it up via a sprayer and water.

If I go for UV up there I think I'd pick a MV this go around. And yeah, massive temp swings up there. I think it'll be great for the winter but now I'm waiting for these plants to finish so I can shut down for the summer.

fair enough then , i'm pretty keen to go down tomorrow and get some dry ice can only get it in big chunks so i'll have to break it up i suppose i'm keen as. still curious as to this fresh frozen trim method with dry ice.....i mean if the erbs are in there with the dry ice, it should be frozen so the resin isn't sticky....i cant find anything on it...surely,

well if you do i would go with the most updated version of th exoterra(the old ones have problems, the new ones come in an all black box) or a powersun or the one from reptile UV, i did some rereading the exo terra is a flood, not narrow like the other brands and it is recommended to use at 5ft so my height is perfect

dont mess with flukers or westron, they have really bad reviws.

thats sucks your up in the attic, but yeah wont be good till winter, and the MV gets hot!

you guys are getting me hyped im about to go get some dry ice and clean my mesh bag and make a batch

yeah i know all about them they need reworked thats why they took them off the market, the issue is with the glass and the amount of UVb going into the dangerous levels, stay away from MH till i get some tests done.
