Stihl Logger's Shiney Space Box Full Of Randoms - In Dirt Under CFLs

[fopho]

Hermies do suck stihl. Sorry to hear you had some issues, but other than that nice line up of autos.

 

[Mittin]

Hey Loggs buddy! I think I'm gonna try all auto's next grow too.

What kind of lighting schedule do you use for auto's? I know they flower automatically but do you change the lighting schedule when they start flowering?

Alot of fine auto growers on here might be able to provide more info on this than I my friend.. As for ME.. Im gonna run them 24/0 for the first 3 weeks then drop them to 20/4 when they go into the tent. My later ones ill run 24/0 until I see flowering has begun then send them outside. (15/9) I just gotta stay with the 20/4 for the tent chicks because I will have clones starting for outdoor in there too.

It does say it's a box of randoms... Wandered in with a random question SL. Have you ever done any hand logging or been in a situation where you had to move very large logs around without heavy machinery?

 

[GrizzWald]

Log rollers?

 

[Weaselcracker]

It might be a bit of a lost art - I mean moving big logs around for milling - and to get them to where you want, with jacks and stuff, probably rollers too and whatever else people could use to make it easier. A regular hi-lift jack, what we call a suicide jack, can do a lot- but not with really massive logs. In the old days they had all sorts of methods I'm sure.

 

[GrizzWald]

I grew up in a milling area. Seen all the old photos at different shops and sports clubs.. Man, not only did they have no machinery, but the logs were four times the circumference of the plantation logs now...

The style of logging we do is more hands on id say... I drop them each with a chain saw, then they are pulled to the landing with a cable or grapple skidder. A dude with a saw cuts the logs out of the tree then its forwarded to scrag/pulp/firewood. Anything useable is taken out and the rest is chipped. Im the 6th generation in the company, we had a mill up til the early 90's. I have run just about every practical piece of equipment that comes with running a logging company or a gravel bed/ trucking excavating company.

I was doing it up in the mountains here for a year. I didn't have any equipment except for a small stihl 190 and a bigger Johnseed and a rope hahaha. Pulling down logs by hand sucks and when they actually roll get instead of being pulled smoothly get the hell out of the way LOL

Lol you know it Spart! I dont try to temp fate. Them bad chickens start fallin I get outta the way! Id prefer to never be the consistency of grits.. Ive cut in some pretty steep ass hills. We make the tops fall uphill so the whole tree slides to the bottom.

 

[STIHL LOGGER]

THEM NEW CHICKS OPENED UP AND SAYIN HELLO!!!

GC, NP, RP, SS

p.s. I think I got a purple pheno with the RP! Shes got purple stripes in her cytos already.

I wish that was possible but where I was cutting we had the village's water source literally in firing range. I did 35 meters3 last year this year is double that. I always seem to bounce the axe off the wedge at least once on my shin. For anyone who thinks hitting you elbow on something hurts doesn't know real pain.

Lovely little ones man your garden is gorgeous like always

Thanks brother Spart! And I hear ya on the "shin splitter" I cant possibly think of much worse than a shin smash. Bahahaha

 

[420Amard]

Bring a tear to my eye and a limp just thinking about it
This year I got a gas wood splitter so no more welts for this guy. Sometimes when the little shards of wedge being shot past your head sound like a bullet. It's some scary stuff all of a sudden you hear pew then a tree gets hit behing your head.

Yeah man! And droppin pine and hemlock, them dead ass lower branches flyin all over like spears! Ive seen them shits stick in solid clay about a foot.

I'm in the process of jacking a salvage scrap out of a bad spot and down to the water so I can tow it away with my skiff. It's just a stubby thing- the butt end of red cedar. It's very heavy and awkward. It's 7' diameter on the big end and five and a half on the other. Only about 12' long though. With that flared shape and size you can imagine how it's awkward to move around. Its on rocky ground- there's absolutely nothing to attach a winch to, even if I had a winch that big. I considered quartering it there but I'd much rather have it whole because the wood is so nice in it, so I am moving it the old fashioned way with a jack I borrowed. It's just a small hand jack called a Gilchrist, made in Vancouver BC- probably 100 years old. It's a bit similar to a hi-lift jack, or suicide jack as we call them, but shorter and way more powerful. It can actually lift that pig. It's hard work, but another few hours of sweating and and I'll have it down into the tidal zone.
I've been googling around trying to find a jack like this but find nothing out there like it. Really amazing. I figure in the old days they must have been one of the main tools of the trade, well- for lots of trades. Either I'm looking in all the wrong places, or people just don't need to lift heavy things by hand much anymore?
Scuze the tangent. I'm sure it's cannabis related somehow

 

[STIHL LOGGER]

That sounds like a prime log Weas! Close to 600bf! I love the smell of red cedar.. I havent cut them in quite a while.. I used to build bird houses out of smaller stuff id mill myself. Havin a small portable band mill is awesome. Build whatever ya want whenever ya want! The possibilities are mostly only limited to the expanse of the imagination. ( this is where the cannnabis becomes related) bahahahaha.

 

[420Amard]

I guess you could get a few horses and that's what we do if it's to big. We use the neighbors horses and use logs under it so it rolls easier. To connect the wench we drill a hole threw the one end and chain it up. I guess this advice could be cannabis related depends on the size of plant. Hahaha

 

[Weaselcracker]

Thanks guys. I'll keep plugging away at it with the jack and should have it safely home soon. I'm used to working with smaller logs- usually not much more than 4'. It's out on a little island in a crappy spot for wind and tide and I just have my little skiff for this- Just working with what I have and keeping it simple for this one.
I wish I had a real mill. I do like Alaska milling for the huge slabs you can get though.
Have a great day guys and thanks for the chat.
