Reusing farmequipment to be able to grow Cannabis, at home.

[cellardwellar420]

Welcome to the crew that turns farm equipment into green dreams!





Tired of using your tractor just for potatoes and carrots? Or maybe you think that old plow could use a more exciting job? Then you’ve come to the right place! Here, we celebrate the true craftspeople and innovative minds who have seen the light (or should we say the UV light) in cannabis cultivation. We take ordinary farm equipment and give it a little makeover to help grow something beyond the usual crops.





This community isn’t just about tech—it’s about laughs and ideas too. So whether you’re into forklifts hauling plants by the dozen or automatic watering systems built out of old milk tanks, we’re here to inspire, share tips, and have a good laugh as we get the best out of our land… and, of course, what grows from it!

Cheers to the green, and welcome to the wildest farm equipment corner around!

Ahah!
I use a big one on my CLS to keep coils in dry ice.

I love when i can repourpouse things

Hydro in aluminium?
Our tanks are both acidic and salty. We don't actually use alloy for cooking or storage anymore, except for some camping products, where we think they are insane already.

Its so bad? Did not think about it

Well it's probably not great. There are people using aluminium pans that have had heavy metal poisoning, and quite a few studies have associated it with alzheimers, and other brain issues. Alloy cans are actually lined, or products would go through them. A solution of lye can vanish a can in half hour. A common cleaning solution found around the home.

Many things we use have unwanted problems. Plastics leaching is often spoke about, from plastics that don't appear to be dissolving. If we polish aluminium, it doesn't stay shiny for long. It oxidises. This oxidation later offers protection after a while, for items like the TV aerial. I don't think our tank will leave it alone though. Like foods, there is a real potential for activity in our tanks. The acidic nature is the main problem.

I think eating the green would be a bad idea, but smoking it may cause no problems, and you could look up resistance to alcohols. Extractions may leave the aluminium behind.

All this said, if the churn is shiny inside, it may actually be coated. Like cans are. I suspect it's grey like the outside though. I think the coating process is relatively modern.

I don't expect health problems from the aluminium. The connection to cancer and alzheimer is shoddy. In a few years it will start to leak due to corrosion.

Problematic could be the effect on plant growth. Aluminium is toxic to most plants but then there are a few hyperaccumulators that are not harmed by it.

I agree its not optimal, but if you keep milk in it its around middle of the ph scale like plants like 5,5-7,5?



Edit*
«Aluminium corrosion can also occur because of extreme pH levels. High levels of pH can break down the aluminium oxide coating. In this case, the coat is broken down faster than it can repair itself. To avoid corrosion, untreated aluminium should be used in areas with a pH of between 4.5 and 8.5.»

Aluminium is an extremely popular metal and is used in a vast number of applications but, does it rust?

My grandma cooked on alu pans all her life til 96years generally good

So what? The other guy smoked till 96 and died by car crash. His brother worked in a refinery all his life, dieing to a jelous wife and their kid died at 10 due to leukemia. That can't be any environmental hazard as they act slowly.

With that logic you can jump into a sewage pool because there's this one person that survived.
