Damn did Shed put the brakes on ?? Been since Sat. no play
Sorry sb, been around the site but not here! Not much happening in my grow at the moment.
So how about a Monday update? Of course!
Here is the satellite aerial view of the babies this morning (labeled so you don't have to remember from last time
):
Here is the flyover/oblique aerial:
The Tin Can Kush 1 and 2 and the Red Dragon are all on day 10, and the TCK3 and Candida are on day 8. They are all getting 1g/gal of MC except the TCK3.
Red Dragon is getting some nice growth on:
And check out the roots:
TCK 1 and 2 both have similar root growth.
And here is a closeup of the Candida, which has skinnier leaves than
my first two Candidas:
Could this be the sativa leaning pheno? I hope
@Amy Gardner can tell me when it gets older!
Moving on to something more personal, I want and don't want to talk about the QWET-to-cart project some of you have been following and probably wondering what happened to it. I've called it off and the reason is really difficult for me to reflect on. I'll plow through this but I don't want to get into a back and forth for what will become obvious reasons.
In a nutshell, it turns out that the 200 proof Extractohol uses methanol to get the ethanol from 190 to 200, with no mention of that on the bottle or their website. So while doing the extraction in my kitchen with the windows and doors open, I suffered
methanol toxicity and was down for three and a half days. I really thought I was never going to recover, and have since developed what I guess is a type of PTSD from the experience. Even writing this I have sweaty palms, racing heart, and feelings of anxiety. I asked my wife to get rid of the stuff at the hazardous waste dump and can't even look at the equipment without feeling uneasy. I have difficulty falling asleep from thinking about it, and the smell of antiseptic hand wipes freaks me out.
So I doubt that I will be able to even try to use regular 190 proof ethanol even though it would be much safer. So for that reason (and with apologies to
@GetIspire ) I can't continue to create solvent extract to test the carts and batteries with. Maybe I'll find space for a press sometime and see if there is a way to use that in carts, but in the meantime that pursuit is dead.
Thanks to Ispire for sending me all the cool products, and I know my son is enjoying the batteries with his pre-filled carts from other vendors.
I hope everyone's weekend went well, and that you all have heat, electricity, and your health. Stay safe.
