First off thank you for your service! My dad was a Canadian naval vet for the duration of WWII and fought in both theatres until it was all over. He encouraged me to join up but a stint in Sea Cadets really showed my lack of deference to authority so better no service than a dishonourable...

I haven't had sodas in a couple of decades since they started using HFCS in all of them. I like ginger beer but the local store doesn't carry it any more. real can sugar and real ginger in the one I like and it bites when you drink it. Gave up booze 2 and a half years ago but drank hard stuff...

We live in the boonies and even when we go to the city we never eat at fast food joints. I have low blood pressure and often get dizzy when standing up too fast. Lots of meds to deal with high BP but nothing for low other than caffeine and salt. The amount of salt I add to my water is less...

With our power costing over 30¢/kwh I wish I could veg at 12hrs/day and flower at 8. I got into autos just for growing outside as I'm so far north photo plants can never finish before the snow flies tho our fall season is getting longer every year thanks to climate change. I won't waste power...

You don't need a PAR meter to keep your plants in the zone. I have one of those little 3-in-1 probes that check Moisture, pH and Light. The pH part is useless really and the moisture testing is half-assed but the light meter gives me a good reading of the light intensity. The scale reads from...

Nice mix of clear, milky and amber on that one. I'd be chopping about now. :peace:

Hydration is overdone by many to the detriment of their health. I watched a Marketplace program I think it was about a year ago where they looked at how much added water a person needs and it wasn't no 8 extra cups a day. Most people get adequate water in their daily diet really only need to...

Rather than try to respond to a bunch of different posts I'll just drop a few lines here about RO etc. If you are on town/city water all it takes is a call to your town office or their works department to get detailed water quality reports sent by email for free. Many post basic reports at...

A good DSLR is something I'd love to get. Back in the 70s my mom got both me and my dad Canon AE-1 35mm film cameras for Xmas one year. Since then I've acquired a bunch of different lenses, filters etc and even use to develop my own films and do my own printing with an enlarger that could make...

Acetone with it's low boiling point makes an excellent solvent for extractions and can be used just like ethanol or ISO for frozen quick wash methods. Nail polish remover acetone with usually a scent added or an adulterant to discourage sniffing it for a buzz. Easy to get anywhere paint is...

Which byproducts are those? If you put pure ethanol in you'll only get pure ethanol out. If you are making your own everclear as I have done in the past you discard the first 50ml or so from the start of distillation which will have some methanol aka wood alcohol aka methyl hydrate in it then...

From what I gather you only use up to 5% total added terpenes in oil so you wouldn't want to use them as your dilutant for vape pens. I have an e-cig and tried making cannabis juice in it starting with a new clean cartridge but it only worked half-assed. The oil had too much sediment in it I...
