The BroomRoom...

@Ichabod.... thats actually a genius idea... tell us, one of yours?
Yeah that would do my fucking head in... here repair work is normally in 4 hours lengths/devisions/shifts what ever you wanna call it..... makes sense, two of those give you your 8hours....

I try to see the light[hafuckingha] side of it.... coz otherwise all I can think of is inflicting stab wound....

Its not on yet.... and now its raining... 14.6dC...

Well to tell the truth I was waiting for them to go up in flames.

See where they were repairing we had a fire a couple years before. Weirdest fire ever. It was during a thunder storm and the ditch was about 2 foot full of water. So we were getting soaked and there was a nice foot tall flame on top of the water.

What happened was lightning struck the ground and broke a gas line and then started a fire. Was strange to watch.

Why cant lightning strike twice you have to ask yourself.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Ichabod... yes, people in flames are good....
Im starting to think we 'need' to make it strike twice... or more, if it wants...

 

[Ichabod Crane]

learn em sumpin real good they would.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Ichabod... so I hear... or read... I mean, historically...

 

[Zapadra]

Don't gotta do nothing Smelly. Give it some time and they'll implode this place. Brics has finally come, power is merely a ransom card. Get the Russians building, Chinese immigrating and the good powder from the Brazilians. It's all about individual wealth. The western ideal raped by tribal culture....

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Zap... too true... Im only scared they'll take us with them... and then lay will the blame solely at our feet... like they always do... why? coz "fuck you" thats why...

I still have no answer to this.... besides bury my head in the sand...

Then I think about how this era will will go down in the history books, how will our grand children look back it this.... its funny a few hundred years ago leaders would do everything in their power/knowledge to have progress.... but now, with most third world countries, they do everything in their power to hinder progress... like drag this the fuck out, make things more costly.... make everything so you need to do it twice.... but hey lets look at it from the good side, its job creation, you get a 2nd chance, you can just shoot your girlfriend behind a locked bathroom door, doeant matter, you'll get a 2nd chance.... just do ten months, its cool, 2nd chance.... same thing down the road from me, runner knocked down by drunken driver, then tried to claim insurance for hitting "road kill"..... cool, just do 3years suspended sentence.... you took away a mother from her kids, but its cool, we'll give you a licence again... same shit with the olympian who was killed here... a few years for a life.... means fuckall here....

"African problems will be solved in African ways...." one of my favourite Bob quotes....

I think I need a bong...

Interestingly enough my old lady is in EU atm and said to me that she recons this will be one of the points we look back at in history as a mark of the end. I'm slowly beginning to agree. Raised a hard liberal (My timers and their friends compare "struggle credentials") I have always been the first to defend our home with optimism. Nowadays, even the visionaries of the past are getting nervous. At the end of the day, you can't help the greed of others. Obama in Kenya, Zuma in Russia, Merkel in Greece... It's all the same. Conspirators and "freedom" fighters need to stfu. Our species is nearing a bottle neck and it is only the propaganda of the "west" (ego) that prevents a smooth transition for the rest of our Eco-system.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Zap.... bro I reckon the visionaries of the past are delusional stale farts.... who smelt bad and no one told them that coz it was "bad manners".....
I wasnt raised liberal, far from it... but then again, I was never really "taught" shit... I grew up on a farm, in Zululand... bro, cant believe the shit Iv seen... cant convince me otherwise lol.... Personally I feel it all comes down to cultures and genes.... sorry if thats real blunt.... some people are just more progressive than others.... and history always repeats itself... no 'empire' last more than a few hundred years.... ideas and beliefs lost over generations.... I dont have the same mind set or beliefs and dreams that my colonial fathers did....[but I dont go that far back] so Im not gonna spend my life making their visions a reality.... But its so super weird how the majority of the world actually views where we live.... you know, like with "our" war, they/we were fighting against a particular power actually taking hold in the old South Africa, but they lost, gave in, too divided in their beliefs, left and right under the same roof... fuck bro, Im not saying whats taken place in our country has being right.... but in any modern time, when I country is under threat from terrorist, people with blood on their hands, they are dealt with.... I find it funny that international symbols of peace are actually murderers.... terrorist with blood on their hands.... and I feel the leaders couldnt care less about the eco systems, its all about dog eat dog, its all snowballing, survival of the fittest... Jz couldnt give a fuck Hope the Rhino just had her horn hacked off while she was still alive...... ask him who Hope is and he probably tell you its some same cake he's naaing from the home affairs office....

Maybe that was a bit intense for a sunday morning lol.... sorry if i offended you bro, or anyone else for that matter, but we all know this is the broomroom.... its no holds barred here brah...... lol.... I just cant sugar coat a shit.... wouldnt be right.... but Im a hillbilly

Tune me in PM if you wanna rap more about it.... Im all cool, its not an argument bro.... peace...

If you access to canna bagged coco, do yourself a favour and get it.... washing this stuff seriously sucks arse....

I did Ichabod's bucket trick for the second wash... went through heaps of fucking water... shits gotta be clean now...

 

[SmellyFlorist]

Okay, say I was happy with my coco, htf do I dry it out a lil.... I dont wanna put it out in the sun.... bugs and shit...

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Take the bucket with holes in the bottom and put the pillow case full of coco in it. Tuck the top of the pillow case into the bucket as well. Now take another bucket and place that on top of the pillow case. Push the top bucket down on the pillow case. Put some weight into the top bucket and let it set for a while. The weight can be rocks, a brick, or even water.

And bam damp coco. Its magic I tell you.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Ichabod.... fucking hell! Have you always been this clever...?? and I just never noticed...

 

[Ichabod Crane]

No I steal all my ideas. If I sat in a room with thousands of legos I would just make one big assed block. The fucking ten year old next to me would be able to make a working rocket but just a bigger lego block from me.

Of course then I would steal his ideas and bam Im super smart. Convert it to growing weed and thats how this dog rolls. Really I am that fat. I roll. Well till I hit velcro. To much hair. Would take a ten ton jack to get me off that shit.

Want any other useless facts about me? JK I kind of got the idea here. Long time ago I read something about a guy doing it with two totes.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Oh and on your cloning go here

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=309503

I posted up some shit I did. Read threw and see if that works. Just need twist ties, bottles, rooting shit, and a stake. It has pictures for those who cant read gooda like me.

Here is on picture for you.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Ichabod... I also find it rewarding stealing others ideas... often I dont even see the need to improve them, I dont need to justify to myself Im better than the invention... cause I know Im not... I skip more than I roll... try it... but I hear you on the hair part.... its fine, Iv always got a jersey with me...

Thats pretty old school cloning heyyyy....

Im busy doing the pvc for the bottom light holder... some guy, cant remember who, used to use one, like 'eons' ago, when he had a thread.... anyways, you got any tips on thats kinda shit....? height and stuff... ? could help...

Ichy used a cross piece in the center of his pvc light holder I believe, n drilled n fastened to it. I didn't find a cross, so I used 4 t's as a cradle n zip tied to it. either way works fine. if u use my t idea, it takes a lot of t's to build out the rest of it.

Ive been experimenting quite a bit on my 600w stacks n spacing. My last run I had them about 20" from tip of bulb to tip of bulb. n about 6" down into the canopy on the top n bottom.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Yes I like my bulb base to be in line with the bottom of my plant canopy.

I also switched my light fixture over. The new one is much easier to adjust the height and to make. The fixture has a base that can be switched to accept a 1/2 inch nipple. Nipple haha. Here is two pictures of the assembled base.



As for a thread I have been having problems with my plants. Got a dud cut and that infected other plants in my grow. Been losing 30 to 40% of my grow for about a year. And before that I had some nasty mites that just wouldnt die no matter what I used on them. Slowly culling the duded plants though. Lost some of my best strains.

Once I get the duds all out I would like to do another thread. I get a lot of PM's from people and would like to help the other who have questions but dont ask.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

@Ichabod... Do you think if you cleaned your room for once it might help out a bit...? Fuck how the bottom of your stands lmfao.....!!!

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Cleaning is womens work man. What the fucks wrong with you. Besides where the hell would I clean? Aint got no room that is not got grow shit in it.

Besides I am not growing in that room. So a stray branch gets in the picture. I got bud and shit all over. Found two ounces the other day all trimmed dried and bagged. Looks like caramel corn it is so brown. No telling how old it is.
