Very cool so many michiganders!
 
Glad to see everyone coming over to chat! Lots of great knowledge to be shared in here.

I heard we are getting high winds today and tomorrow. I hope I don't loose any power if not I will be screwed since I am on vacation.. :confused: drawbacks of a hydro set up I guess.

Hash bash in Ann arbor is 4/6 and will probably plan on going this year and light it up! First year legal!
 
@Icetech that sucks! I am crossing my fingers we don't have a power outage. So far so good, camera feed = power :)

Interesting goal. I have started to look into what to do with what I will get for shake and popcorn on this grow. Are you going diy press or looking into off the shelf options? I looked at ethanol extraction too but seems a bit on the dangerous side if not done correctly

Mine too. There's a corner between the house and garage that catches too much water and gets my flower side wet.

I do ethanol extractions slightly less dangerous than butane as far as solvents go. If I can ever get enough $$ around I'll pick up plates for the shop press or maybe grab the new 10ton portable from dabpress.
 
Yeah.. mine is along my back wall of my basement at the base, which means clogged weeping tile :( and no way to fix it... just waiting for the house to turn into a moldy death trap.. :)

Oh this sounds right up my alley! I want to get some material to vape and edibles so ethanol extraction may be the route. Have you ever heard of the source turbo from extract craft? I found their site while doing some research.That thing can do ethanol and seems to recycle it so it lasts longer. Are you doing diy ethanol?

I have yes. I looked into it a little bit. Pretty neat rigs.

I do make some ethanol extractions now but they're too dirty for anything besides a dab rig. That's why I want a press setup. Much safer, no solvent, cleaner product.

Welcome @BlackSheep138 ! Those plants look great! What's the main reason you are moving to RDWC? I am currently doing juts DWC and I am looking to move to a recirculating dwc set up so feeds can be made easier. Just concerned how I will handle different strains needs within the same grow.
