Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

Steady on lads, it's 5pm here & my lights go out at 9pm so you'll have to wait :)

I do have some pictures of my carbon filter refill though. I ordered 5kg & that wasn't enough, but we'll come back to that.

5x 1kg bags

My filter has hex head Tek screws that hold the end cap so these were removed

A bin bag was put over it & then flipped 180 to empty the used pellets into the bag

Then refill with new activated carbon

Ooops, not enough :thedoubletake:

How do you reactivate carbon? I use a blowtorch :)

I've no idea if the blowtorch reactivates the carbon the same as a factory but it burns off the smell & when the flames stop coming from the carbon, it no longer smells like it did & smells like carbon.
When filling, I used a gold panning type action to help the pellets settle, I also banged it on the floor a bit :)
To get it nice & level on the top, I tamped it down & skimmed it with a matchbox :thumb:

I'm happy with the ease of doing it but next time I'll buy more carbon, the blowtorching is a pita & it stinks
 
It's a piece of cake mate & costs a fraction of the cost of a new filter :thumb:

I've just realised it's footy night tonight so you can have some pics of the veg girls early & the flower girls a bit later :)

Ya Know Skunny that used carbon is great soil & coco additive just rinse & dry in sun
 
Girls look awesome. That blue venom is picking up some good size man

Thanks Payton, she's my favourite from that group. She's taken minimal training to even her canopy & looks beautiful :)

:thumb: great update Skunny :MoreNutes:plants
:Namaste:

:thanks:Thanks Luz :thumb:

Absolutely fantastic as always . Your refilling looks like it went well :) I had fucking tones of dust . It was like sweeping a fecking chimney :) so have you reused some of the old carbon . Mine was very tightly packed . Good evening every one :)

Very little dust mate, without the bin bag it could have been a bit too messy though. Yep, I had to re-use a kilo or so,I'll buy more next time & it's as packed as I can get it. I gave it a shake after it was bolted back up & not a single rattle :thumb::)

Feck sake!!! I've binned it & it's got dog shit on top :( If it's really good, I might fish it out, what d'ya reckon?
 
The footy is still on but I sneaked up at half time & flicked the lights off to take some pics. I'll not tell you who's who or how long they've been in flower, I'll save that for Sundays update :thumb:

Oh, the only thing to note is Ultra Lemon Haze got FIM'd :)

Pics :)
