hi all a few pics taken along the way of the oil run today using my diy condenser with added air coil thinking being it might speed it up but it did the exact opposite so i took it back off halfway through the run,my mistake was by adding the extra height i then lost the crucial downhill gradient!these show the set up and you can see its really very simple and safe no fumes and that means less chance of the law being informed as well as the less explosive angle,what ive saved in isopropyl recovering is huge as we was spending a good few hundred pound a year and now its less than £50 a year!ImageImage
air coil,too high!
Image
the solvent in jar connected to the condenser
ImageImage
the condenser filled with water and ice blocks 1mtr coil of 8mm copper
Image
the recovered isopropyl all clean and ready for reuse!
ImageImage
sorry half the pics are fecking sideways im sure they was the right way up when i edited and resized them! oil run total of 22 gram of nice clean amber colour oil,good medicine.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

Acapulco Gold Strain by Barneys Farm



Barneys Farm is continually pushing the limits of marijuana genetics, improving their selection and breeding processes to create something that is truly breath-taking. Acapulco Gold is the next generation of marijuana strain. Like the original namesake the Acapulco Gold flowers with fat colas, flecked with beautiful reddish brown calyx, each covered with beautiful crystals of THC.



The smoke has an intense fruit cocktail flavour that lingers for hours. This is a Sativa dominant strain that offers a long lasting high, balancing relaxing stress reduction with a real upbeat effect. Acapulco Gold far surpasses the rhapsodized smoke of days past.
so im feeling a bit better now i can hear a rvk and fans running! soon have the drobes full again with any luck,cutts are still looking ok as well so far,,,,,,cheers all

hi all well drobe refurb is done!i now have extra stealthy extraction using the storage box /carpet tile silencer and some new bloody expensive acoustic ducting its about half as audible as it was when rvk is on full!it never is on full in service as its hugely overpowered for the space something i believe is the reason its lasted so long in the drobes as they never run more than about 50% capacity whereas a smaller rvk would be under full load and so wear out quicker,makes sense to me.
looked in drobe room this morning and its still a fucking tip and no choice but spend the morning cleaning and then a trip to the tip tomorrow! my god you should see the layer of crap lining the old ducting yucky! now all i need id some plants to put in there,cutts looking ropey this morning and no sign of any germinations yet,come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i might get some pics later once i have removed all the crap.peace all.

so far in the tiny veg cab i have blimburn seeds zombie death fuck and barneys farm tangerine dream and acapulco gold all germed and the cutts look shite bar 1 which i think might have rooted,maybe!i have been tempted to sow a couple of autos to grow whilst the photos are vegging,never quite works out though when i do that,autos take about 3 weeks too long!i cant wait to fire up the refurbed drobe and see how it works now,just hope it shook off the cursed borg. peace all

hi all well zombie death fuck lived up to the name and died!it will not come back as a zombie as its gone in the incinerator!
the bigger drobe is now full it has a bunch of autos i did by accident by misreading the labels i thought they was mixed photoperiod till i had sown they germed then i read the packet,autos!
also have the barneys farm photoperiod tangerine dream and barneys acapulco gold and a single freedom of seeds mac x gsc photo fem.
@Marcus would you believe the cutts still have zero sign of roots but remain alive idk wtf there problem is as the seeds sharing the same space have grown happily both photo/auto so i am baffled,good job im not in a hurry aye?
the refurbed drobe is still empty and will stay that way till the buggers in the bigger drobe out grow it,maybe 5-6 weeks.
tempted to throw several autos out in the sunroom as its much warmer since rebuilt with 16mm double channel plastics and adding extra water tanks painted black which act as a very effective heatsink warming during the day and radiating the heat back into the sunroom at night and has a thermo controlled rvk and heater in there for tinas more fragile cacti and tropical type plants,maybe they would survive?
i will get some boring pics later tonight but they def boring!laters.
