On the bright side there are many other Homer's running around trying to figure out the same thing. I heard the trick is a jeweleller's screwdriver around the wood and wax and she pops right out.

My basement/grow room reorganization is taking a little longer than anticipated but going well. I ran out of 2x4's so I'll go pick a few more up tomorrow; should be done within I would estimate two more days and it should be a much better system.
I am changing things up a bit with my training this time. Instead of doing a quadlining and then just letting things go wild this time I am going to have just two secondaries which I just topped for a second time today so now I have four tertiary branches and eventually I will top for the third time and end up with just eight main colas and I will trim anything else.

lol, well when I said I heard to do it that way I only learned that when looking for those pics.
It looks like he burned the box. I guess if I was going to do it that way I would have heated the screw up and screwed it in, let it cool and pull it out with pliers. Or I would have put it under Grandpa's press from frustration.
At least you know your seeds weren’t tampered with

I think what threw me for a loop was I read that somebody melted it because it was wax but mine didn't have the consistency of wax but more like some kind of a glue or epoxy? Whatever it was I got it out and the seeds, vial and wooden case are all intact.

That is exactly what I was thinking which is why I didn't mind the challenge getting them out. I think that's why they do it like that and they do mention I think I read on their site it's good for long-term storage the way they do it and gets them safely to you. Don't quote me.

An ironworker would have gotten a bigger hammer.
I'm guessing you are right and it was probably hot melt from a glue gun.
Or got his apprentice to figure it out.An ironworker would have gotten a bigger hammer.

When looking for men who will walk a six-inch beam 300 feet in the air intelligence isn't exactly the trait they select for so not sure the apprentice would be a lot of help, LOL.I'm guessing you are right and it was probably hot melt from a glue gun.
Yes from the consistency I think it was from a glue gun.

So I went out this morning to get eight 2 x 4 x8's and I guess since the pandemic wood has almost doubled in price and I had to pay almost $90. Some guy in the parking lot who heard me whining in the store was saying they shut down a lot of the sawmills so nobody can find wood right now.
When I built a new fence last month had to run all over town looking for pressure treated lumber couldn't find what I needed went to a small town not far a way nothing. Had to drive 45 minutes to another town to get what I needed. Still I had to buy 10' 2x4's when I only needed 8' I was lucky to get them. So wood is in high demand out west also.

Well, it isn't like the stuff grows on trees. No, wait...
It probably would have been quicker if I just went out to the woods and cut it myself

My 2-day job of reorganizing my growing rooms still seems 2 days from completion 5 days out but I like how it is turning out. I think I may be posting a little surprise in the next little while.It probably would have been quicker if I just went out to the woods and cut it myself

Chemdawg Barks for the first time! My Chemdawg has a tail after about 24 hrs in water! So happy to see its alive!
I was a little worried this morning when I looked at it after having it soaking all night that it had not even cracked yet so I was delighted when I checked in the evening that had it not only cracked but had a pretty ample little tail for that much time. I now have it between paper towels to check for a day to see how vigorous it is before I put it in soil.
Here is basically the skeletal outline of my labyrinth system to keep my veg and flower areas separate and un-affecting each other. As I build it I can see I will probably update a few versions but I think this is a decent start. I'm using that panda paper and I will put more vertical beam is when I know where my seams are. Should be a couple of more days but this is getting pretty's nice. I have been pondering on this a while.
It does 3 things; doubles the size of my veg room, makes the flower room totally dark at night, and makes it easier to take better pics in each room.
I assumed it's obvious but my veg area is the purple area with a little plant and the flower area is the rest of the room with the big plant under my Mega Light.
Hope everyone is well.
Looks like summer is slowly winding down. I really want to get this job done and enjoy the last of the nice weather before it disappears for another year.

For sure and I would like to get it out of the way because I have a few other jobs backed up because of it.
