RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL's

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

I got a question....I've seen so many different times for curing people's harvest....some say it's a matter of about 2 weeks or less, some say it's like a 6 month process! That's a pretty large gap there! And I am still curing my 1st harvest, from about 3 or so weeks ago...and I am still smelling chlorophyll pretty good in my jar with the "sugar leaves" that I trimmed off the buds about a week or so after the chop....The buds have a very very mellow smell.....kinda chorophyll-y, but also has a bit of a nice "bud" smell too....I've mixed it in with the schwag shite I get still till I am only using my own stash....Anyways, is it okay for me to try to use the sugar leaves for the "canna-oil" even tho they still smell like they should cure more, or should I just wait it out, no matter how long, and wait till it has like NO smell of chlorophyll? I really want to make my brownies so I will have some edibles that'll last me all afternoon on a bad day...but now I don't want to f it up or have a nasty tasting oil cuz it still had the slight aroma of chlorophyll....Let me know what you guys think, or what you have done....How did you all do your "pot brownies" if, that is, you ever did them....I appreciate the feedback! :peacetwo::morenutes::thumb::thanks:


P.S. And have any of you used "soy lecithin" as an additive to help with the "emulsifying process" of the THC into the brownie, as recommended by 1 grower/420mag.com member here does in his recipe? He swears it has DOUBLED the potency of the brownies by adding a tablespoon or two during the mixing process of the brownie making...I read that super good bee pollen can be used like a lecithin, but it doesn't have the "soy" additive, mainly for those that are allergic to soy...but I need to know so I know whether or not I can use it in place of my suggested ingredient of "soy" lecithin? I appreciate all feed back! Thanks and much love to all!
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Hey there peeps! I am so baked...............used my new toy, and I'm telling ya, if I could kick my own ass for not buying one of these years ago, I WOULD! I can't BELIEVE the difference!!! For an old toker like me, tolerance is a big issue, and we who have been daily smoking for most all of the last 32 years ( except during my 2 pregnancies, and I had heard it was actually okay to use occasionally during certain times of the pregnancy, so I might have toked once or twice when I was carrying my son, but I can't really remember...) really have a problem getting good medicine without having to get the most expensive stuff or the hardest to find/grow, whatever, ya know? Anyways, this "schwag" shite I've been smoking in a "1 hitter" which is probably THE worst thing a person can choose to smoke with, being so small, I think I've sucked in more butane fumes than herbal smoke over the years, andI got a wicked cough every time I smoke lately....I HAVE to lay off for a while, but I need the pain relief...That's why I'm going to wait and get the "soy lecithin" for the brownies, and use this new vaporizer when I do want/ need to "smoke" some for instant relief...but I have NEVER had not even 1 pot brownie, not 1 pot edible of ANY kind, EVER! Can you believe that?! It's true....So hearing that I will get HOURS of pain relief and happiness rather than minutes, and again, no smoking side effects- I just can't WAIT!, but I would rather wait another day or so, and do it right, rather than rush just 1 more day, and waste a whole batch that could have been twice as strong.
Anyways, this was supposed to be my "vaporizer review", but I don't know if I'm doing a good job or not....but I'll tell you, it made the crappy schwag I use and barely feel seem like the Blue Dream I had this past month! Didn't taste as good, but FELT as good throughout my body, it felt that way! I can't believe I got it so cheap as well, but still brand new in the unopened box, at the local "smoke shop", that sells cigarettes, insence, essential oils, smoking accessories, t-shirts, etc....and I only paid 74.66! They were asking 83.44, but gave me 10% off! Then she gave me another $5 off a $15.99 grinder- it's Billet CNC Aluminum, nice!, but no kief screen, :(..., some Hindu Temple Insence, $2.99, and I was out the door for $106 and change and I got ALL the accessories for the vape too! The $25 aromatherapy adaptor, a package of extra screens, a 4' whip w/ a small glass bud mouthpiece, and for fun, there is a neon blue light underneath when it's plugged in, a remote control, a couple of wood sticks that were pointed at 1 end, and it's covered in screen printing of Bob Marley in the Red, Green and Yellow of his Rasta Nation!....Not to mention it's got a digital display, and even a 2 month warranty against manufacturers defects in materials and workmanship! And I saw this same one without even all the accessories, for WAY WAY more in almost every place I have been looking for a vape at for a long time now! I would have paid a LOT more for all I got anywhere else! Iam so happy, thank god I had enough available credit left on my card, now I got to pay twice as much on my payment next month! LOL!
Anyways, sorry I rambled, but this thing works great I guess, well, I KNOW, but I mean I don't know if I am WAY off or just a bit high, ya know? My guess is I am just right!
Okay, that's it I guess..."The Cube" vaporizer is an AWESOME unit, and I LOVE the experience, and the flavors I am still getting ( not that "burnt popcorn smell I had heard about- learned about that myself firsthand tonight! LOL!) .

Much love to all of you out there tonight, may you all be safe and protected...:yahoo::thanks::bongrip::yummy::peacetwo::circle-of-love::adore::Namaste:

Hola HMG! Nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by to see what Im up to all alone out here in BFE somewhere in the southwest...
I'm very sorry I wasn't able to properly write this note of thanks for what you did to help me find that very important brownie recipe that a super cool dude posted for me, i just don't have printer, so I was waiting till my hands didn't hurt so much to write the whole things out by hand, and my hands usually hurt a lot, especially when it comes to writing...
You were so kind to stop in and help, I know you didn't have to, but you did, and I thank you so much my friend! I have to go check your grow out too now, and see what you have going on! May Peace and Love Surround you at all times...
Happy growing! :Namaste::):yahoo:
I saw you were looking for recipies I can not help you with a specific recipie you are looking for but this may be of some use to you.

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Well nice to meet you, pilot90! And thank you SO much for your very kind words and thoughts of me and my humble, and fumbling attempts at growing, lol! You have no idea how much your message lifted me up when I read it this am...I truly apologize for not replying sooner, but somedays when i'm sick, I don't even touch the computer, and can barely remember to feed my plants...I've been very sick w/ physical symptoms from the different diseases I fight everyday, and have been bedridden for the last 2 days, can't eat, and the docs still aren't even sure what the heck is causing all these problems with me over the last 11 months since these symptoms just showed up outta no where...Thank GOD, the CREATOR, or Mother Nature....because without my herbal meds, I can't eat or even sleep for more than an hour or so at a time...I am supposed to have osteo-arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis as well, and NOW I am ALSO worried about having Lupus at this point due to these gastrointestinal problems over the last year. ... these new symptoms gave me a 40lbs drop in weight in last 8 weeks or so ( which wasn't too bad for me, as I had hardly any symptoms thru the winter we had, which was long and very cold all the time in our toy hauler, that I gained over 20+ lbs or more, and got so fat I had only 1 pair of jeans to wear! So embarrassing! It's not that I ate a huge amount of food, but when you eat everyday, but never exercise, then the weight comes on, especially when my 1 fav treat s ice cream!) ....simple math...Yes, I am still over-weight, but it is due to me not being to keep ANYTHING down most days lately, just a little hot peach tea, a dry piece of white toast, MAYBE, on a good day like today.
Anyways, I am going to post my newest pics now, so I will stop rambling on and on making little sense, and just say again, THANK YOU SO MUCH! :thanks::thanks::thumb:...

I see you are using a vape now, that's great, they are much more "healthy" I guess you could say..Sorry about the seeds, thats a real bummer..I been real busy so sorry about the the slacking...your journal is one that I view everytime i catch up on journals...I will be praying for you and sending you and your plants good vibes, God bless and stay green..

Ohh, guess what, I was actually nominated for Member of the month, alongside Stevehman, who is my oldest friend here, CapnChronic, and Macgyverup, also great friends of mine....I am SOOOOO stoked and honored, I had to tell my dear friend RVG!!!!
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Hi RVgrower - I think I might have been the one to send you the recipe. If you go to the most recent update of my brownie recipe, it's been tweaked to include Soy Lecithin, and I did mention I think that it seemed to nearly double the potency. If this isn't the one, you might want to at least check it out -- but I think I sent this to you once....

Simple Brownies with oil

Congrats on the vaporizer, by the way! :yahoo: :cheer::):bong:
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Okay everyone, here's some more "bud porn" as we like to jokingly call it....but it makes me drool for sure to look at all the gorgeous plants that our members are growing out there!

First, here is my "Northern Lights#5 x Skunk#1, named "Xena".
It's now day 47 for her, of flower, but I think there's going to be a longer flowering cycle for this one, even though, to my yet untuned eye, she almost looks done right now! But she's still kinds smallish, and I don't know why my plants always stay so small it seems, but she's a beauty nevertheless!
7_23_11_Xena_on_day_55_of_flower_Starts_week_7_on_Monday_.jpg


Here's a side view of her which shows me the Sativa side of her, at least it seems that way to me....what do you all think?
7_23_11_you_can_really_see_her_sativa_side_i_think_here_with_the_larger_internodal_spacing_.jpg


A view from directly above looking down to show how densely packed with buds in every available place!
7_23_11_Xena_from_up_above_.jpg


A close up shot of the inner flowers to show how pretty and sugary looking they are as well as all of the big ones above! Oh, and this was my first attempt at using an LST training of sorts when she went into flowering, after a crappy 1st attempt FIM job back when she was only about 4-6 nodes or so high...
7_23_11_Xena_has_some_nice_inner_buds_growing_really_well_since_i_did_FIM_and_LST_.jpg



Here is Xena's biggest top cola! So big, thick, and pretty!
7_23_11_Xenas_biggest_top_cola_.jpg



Here's a shot of my left fist next to it, to show scale of sorts, couldn't find my damn ruler! Anyways, I DO have a large hand for a woman, I wear size medium in men's gloves! LOL! Anyways, it's about 4 or more inches tall and about 5-6 " in diameter! And that's just the 1 top portion, there are other bud "clusters" on that same stem, and on every other stem of every size, and growing all up and down these stems and limbs, in little dense clusters now it seems, yea!!!...
7_23_11_My_fist_next_to_tallest_top_cola_to_show_scale_.jpg


Xena has sugary crystals all over her buds and those so-called "sugar leaves", because it looks like someone poured sugar on the tops, really! And these 2 cute little fatty bud twins are on the stem directly below the biggest top cola.
7_23_11_Xena_has_some_sugary_crystals_all_over_every_bud_and_bud_leaf_.jpg



And here is Xena's "secondary" cola, that is, the 1 of the 2 original shorter colas, the one I didn't manage to break off!
7_23_11_Xenas_secondary_top_cola_.jpg



And here is my little one, the only one to sprout of the last 4 I am trying to germinate, well, it's already down to 3, because the Syrup seed rotted and died right away for some weird reason! But it WAS a freebie, so maybe they were some old seeds that weren't viable...who knows? I know 1 thing, I am definitely learning to clone this grow! I am going to take clones off of the new little girl, Jackie!

And another update....for some reason, the AKR (Afghan Kush Ryder) seeds I planted after 3 days of soaking in the dark in a sealed container of water, wrapped in foil to keep out the light, didn't sprout after being in the ground for 3 or 4 days...so I had to go looking again, find them, and 1 still hadn't even SPLIT! And the other that had developed a tiny nub of a tail, really had only doubled that in size, so it was still like about 1/16th of an inch or so long I think, maybe an 1/8th of an inch, but I don't think any longer than that. When I saw this happen to another dude like 6 months ago, he pulled the seeds back out, put them in the wet paper towel method till they grew tails about an inch long each, then he re-planted them! It worked fine for him, and I have nothing to lose by trying, as they are going to die anyways if I don't get them to grow right now! Water alone isn't working for me, and the ph is only about 6.5-maybe 7.0, which I don't think is that bad, do you guys?
I started with 4 MMJ seeds again, and only 1 sprouted when they were all treated exactly alike till that point! I don't get it...Is it that common to have bad seeds? Especially since they are all Feminized ones...I mean, they were the freebie seeds when I bought the 3 pack of the "Northern Lights x Skunk, again, only 1 of those 3 made it to survive, and that was just BARELY! Stunted her back an extra month in the veg. cycle. And if I had to have picked only 1 seed out of the 4 to keep, I would definitely, without hesitation, picked the Emerald jack.
7_23_11_Jackie_at_about_7-9_days_old_I_think_.jpg


And one last shot of Jackie, just a slightly different angle, I guess. She looks so lonely in there, and I am now in the process of trying to spark some real life into those 2 AKR seeds by having put them into the "paper towel" method, to get some root tails to grow so I can replant them knowing they WILL in fact, live, because they will in fact DIE, if I didn't do this! So please pry for the little girls to live, cuz they are literally my last 2 MMJ seeds, and I have 0 funds to purchase any more for a while, maybe months, and these 2 plants alone won't even cover 2 months worth of medicine for me I'm going to have to guess, as I guessed what I thought was low last time, 4-6oz out of 6 plants, but got only 2 oz in the long run, and really, it could have been less than that, because I haven't weighed it again since that day a month or so almost now ago...

Okay, that's enough, I'm hoping you all understood me, and I am still sick and not feeling right, so not thinking too clearly at times either, and I hope I didn't ramble on.

Saying goodnight to you all, I hope to hear your thoughts on my latest pics and situation...
Much love!

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Hi RV -

Sometimes seeds are just bad, sometimes they are just realllly sensitive. They don't take well to handling and the slightest thing can cause them to stunt or not sprout. Good seeds are usually pretty vigorous, though. If you have a seed with a taproot that has stunted, it can't hurt to try something different. Go ahead and try the papertowel thing if you want. It shouldn't matter, though, if your soil conditions are right and you are keeping it damp not soaked.

Your plants look very green and healthy - nice fat frosty buds. You're doing great, truly! :bravo:
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

glad that helped you Rv.
i cook my oil for around 6 hrs in a double boil and it knocks mine and everyone that has had its socks off. its all about the slow steep. keep it around 200-250* and you will have good medibles!
grats on the vap.. save your leftovers after u vape it.... you cam use it in your edibles... almost has a peanut flavor after...

curein.
this is a well argued topic.
IMHO there is a difference between a 2-3 week cure (prep cure) and a 6 month cure (show cure etc)
a prep cure is all that is needed to be "smokeable" there can be some clora taste may be a little harsher etc. and also not... depends on the flush in a way for that.
when you let it cure the extra mile the plant, even though already harvested, will continue to pull the moisture and sugars out of the leaf and use it in the conversion of CBD to THC... this is why it "seems to get more potient" it does.... there are also other things that happen... the true colors will come out and become more viberant as teh extra storage is used up... the sent will become more pungent and the Clorafyle sent will disipate...
really what it comes down to is how long will it last.....
i always seperate my prize nugs and store them for latter down the road and give them the most time to cure. when i get on a roll they can pile up..... i have one that is 6 months now..... it is a groomsman gift for my best man.

sorry i dont make it over here that much... theres alot of journals to make it to....
i do my best to catch up so im sorry if i drop alot of info on you all at once.... i have that habit lol
stop by my thread any time
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Well, Hello to you too, MY dear friend!!! Yes! I am very happy and my lungs are sure enjoying the new system! And I am getting used to the thing. I am going to upgrade to the Volcano II next year at tax time if I can, unless they have the "Volcano III", which means I would have the III not the II, ya know? lol!!! I like how that one comes with the plastic bag to breathe the vapor from, and the machine really seems to extract more vapor outta less material, and it fills the bag automatically, and I can use the bag at my leisure throughout the day, without having to repeatedly start up the vape, ya know? But anyways...
As for the seeds, I don't actually think the seed companies give us really old seeds or anything like that, but it just naturally occurs though odds, that sometimes seeds are just bad, no good, not fertile, or like all the other reasons you mentioned that I myself had thought of as well, which is why I am so frustrated with the whole germination process. And I hate giving up on anything. failure just drives me harder and harder till I DO succeed, but I AM a very passionate person, so I can be very very happy, and when I get frustrated, I get very very frustrated, even angry, although I hate to let myself near that emotion, it's so bad for us, it sucks our life energy out of us...The stronger the emotion, the more the cost to us, and our bodies and spirits...
Yeah, so that's why I am going to be turning to YOU for guidance when it comes time to take the clones from the new Emerald Jack I just got sprouted, and that's the one seed I wanted to make clones from more than any other I have got my hands on so far! It's Jack Herrer x Emerald OG...the 2 most desired, and 2 of the strongest of their respective lineages, 1 of the strongest Sativas crossed with 1 of the strongest Indicas....sounds like heaven to me! And it's got an approximate 22%-24% THC, and I believe that they might have listed a CBD value, but I don't see it here in my notes, I'll have to check on that, with ALL my strains...as I am really using this for pain control, moderate to severe pain & nausea control, and I need the strongest herb out there to kill the pain that I am using morphine 3-4 times a day to control now....but I HATE these pills!!! The are seriously KILLING ME!!! They are tearing my guts up, so I am coming off of them, some how...someway....But do not worry, I will get thru it I think..You are no slacker to me! lol! I AM THE SLACKER!!! I just can't function like 2,3,4,5,days a week, sometimes all week in bed! Just wanting my stomach to stop hurting...the nausea to stop...
And most importantly, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for those wonderful words you said to me, that you read my journal overtime you're doing your journal reading...That's so flattering to me! But I know I have SO MUCH MORE to learn from YOU than you have to learn from me! LOL! I can't even think of something that I know and you don't know, ya know? lol!!! ha ha ha ha ha too funny! Yep! I AM VAPING RIGHT NOW!! It's awesome! I am vamping and typing at the same time! It's literally "hands free" when you think about it! I just keep the mouth piece in my mouth and suck on it while I am typing with my hands...no problem! I love it! And I can feel the increase in potency of the mexi-brown schwag shit that I get from my well-meaning friend. Anyhow, I gotta get a lot more for a lot less, which is why I need to grow my own, and clone my own, and try to keep practicing with the dirt weed seeds in the mean time, I just won't grow them out.
I also read your journal every time I am doing my "journaling", as I call it. But I haven't been on doing any reading of journals in about 2 weeks...so busy too, have had so much going on around here as well, then my illness episodes, and well, that's why you will notice me being absent on occasion when I am going thru these episodes. I do try to get back on, even just quick enough to let you all know I am alive, and that I am just busy or sick, which ever it is, and that I will get caught up ASAP.
So I gotta go, it's late and I didn't mean to go on & on & on, but I just had so much I wanted to say. I really wanted to get you all caught up, so you are up to speed as they say, with my personal grow here, and the other stuff in my life affecting it, and my time spent on here with you guys...But I am trying to do my best, and that's all I can do, right?
thank you for your prayers for me and the girls...I keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well...
Much love to you and your family and friends, And THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GOOD TO ME!!! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! GOD BLESS YOU MY DEAR FRIEND!:Namaste::thanks::thanks::circle-of-love::party::green_heart:

glad that helped you Rv.
i cook my oil for around 6 hrs in a double boil and it knocks mine and everyone that has had its socks off. its all about the slow steep. keep it around 200-250* and you will have good medibles!
grats on the vap.. save your leftovers after u vape it.... you cam use it in your edibles... almost has a peanut flavor after...

curein.
this is a well argued topic.
IMHO there is a difference between a 2-3 week cure (prep cure) and a 6 month cure (show cure etc)
a prep cure is all that is needed to be "smokeable" there can be some clora taste may be a little harsher etc. and also not... depends on the flush in a way for that.
when you let it cure the extra mile the plant, even though already harvested, will continue to pull the moisture and sugars out of the leaf and use it in the conversion of CBD to THC... this is why it "seems to get more potient" it does.... there are also other things that happen... the true colors will come out and become more viberant as teh extra storage is used up... the sent will become more pungent and the Clorafyle sent will disipate...
really what it comes down to is how long will it last.....
i always seperate my prize nugs and store them for latter down the road and give them the most time to cure. when i get on a roll they can pile up..... i have one that is 6 months now..... it is a groomsman gift for my best man.

sorry i dont make it over here that much... theres alot of journals to make it to....
i do my best to catch up so im sorry if i drop alot of info on you all at once.... i have that habit lol
stop by my thread any time

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Thanks and HELLO! HMG!, And thanks for reading my thread and seeing my dilemma and coming to my aide, I can't thank you enough! I don't think I've "met" you on here before yet, so I am glad to "meet you", and like I said, that was so cool, for you to help me find the recipe I was looking for! I copied it all down this time! lol! I don't have a printer right now...that's why i didn't just copy it off here the first time...I sure wish I had! So now I have to just go find the "soy lecithin", & then I can make the brownies!!!
Yea!!!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

Hola HMG! Nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by to see what Im up to all alone out here in BFE somewhere in the southwest...
I'm very sorry I wasn't able to properly write this note of thanks for what you did to help me find that very important brownie recipe that a super cool dude posted for me, i just don't have printer, so I was waiting till my hands didn't hurt so much to write the whole things out by hand, and my hands usually hurt a lot, especially when it comes to writing...
You were so kind to stop in and help, I know you didn't have to, but you did, and I thank you so much my friend! I have to go check your grow out too now, and see what you have going on! May Peace and Love Surround you at all times...
Happy growing! :Namaste::):yahoo:

I'm glad that I could help lead you in the right direction. I just want to be able to help where I can, as people have helped me.
 
Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Same here, I mean, as I get better...I want to give back, to me, it feels better to give someone else a gift than it feels to buy something for myself...I'm a biker, and so I really get off on the whole scene we have going- we are a 501 (3) c , non-profit, family club, and we do nothing but lots and lots of charity work on the weekends, throughout the year....We help others in need, raise money, attend other club's charity events, and just do what ever we can, when ever we see a need for our assistance.
You are a very kind soul, and I really DO appreciate your interest in my grow and the help that you have offered...that is the most generous gift of all to me, is for someone to share their knowledge, the information that may have taken them years, decades, and even a lifetime in some cases to acquire....It is SO valuable....There is no price that you can put on such things. To learn from the peers, elders, and anyone of knowledge that is willing to share in the name of the benefit of others, in this field, for me, is the best Blessing I could have asked for....And I too, will someday, be so happy to give back, in any way I am needed. I believe in Karma, and I know people looked out for me, so it is my desire, of course!, to give back! I always treat those as I wish to be treated, my grandmother that raised me taught me that, and all my old-fashioned ( by most of today's standards), ways...

You re an awesome person and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart...

Brightest Blessings to you always, RVG

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

Hey real quick, I got a question for you guys that know stuff about the "Cube" style vaporizers...specifically, how do I properly clean the glass whip base/ barrel end where the herb goes in and it goes on to the stem in the box that the hot air comes out of....the glass "base" has already started to collect some resin, as is the inside of the plastic tubing, which only has a interior dimension of about 1/4th to 3/8th of an inch maybe....so my wife suggested alcohol, like Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, but I was afraid that it would damage the plastic by having a negative reaction to the alcohol...So any suggestions? The "instructions" were printed out in tiny lettering on a tri-fold about 3" wide by 2" thick. All it does it tell me how to turn it on and off I think and that it has a 2 month warranty on it for defects only in parts and workmanship, from date of purchase. So anyways, if anyone knows the proper technique, or how/ where I might find it for myself, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time. Please have some toast.

Re: RVgrower's Indoor Closet Grow: a Few N. Lights x Skunk & Some Bag Seeds Under CFL

to clean the glass use rubbing alc.... the plastic.. i dont know.... i always just replace it once in a while as the tube is cheep from the supply store. you could try cleaning it with alc... but it could do something to the plastic depending on the type......
hehe bet u know this as well but... make sure its off ...lol :)
