So let's just say :wtf3: and add that question to the list, if I understand it correctly. "What method is better: dried then frozen plant material or fresh frozen material?".

For a preview of the possible answer, refer to post #29... but I don't know for sure, really. The smoke report will tell...... :jointsmile:

Right i saw that....and the reason I wonder is because the more WET my weed was (read: waterlogged) the harder it was to seperate the trichomes from the other material. That's why I'd like to see how it works here because I don't really use screens....just a strainer and then a coffee filter and the coffee filter holds EVERYTHING.

Ok....no real clue if that made sense or not.....you guys tell me.

Hound, do you use ice cubes in your cold water extraction method? And freeze your herb before extracting? That is key...

[SnSstealth]

it completely made sense...and i was just pickin on ya:jointsmile: I freeze fresh, and use ice water and ice

For anyone that has followed my past logs, you'll know I was running a 430 HPS with a ValueBright hood... Guess what, I upgraded!

Now I have a Lumatec Digital 600 HPS ballast with a top of the line DayStar reflector that has 6 inch straight-thru cooling. It's connected to an Super HPS Eye Hortilux bulb that really kicks down a shitload of lumens, something like 88,000 +/-. The closet is 7 square feet, so that's way over 12,000 lumens per sq ft! :silly:

Venting it all is a 449 CFM Vortex inline fan that pulls air first via a 24 inch charcoal filter, then thru the reflector, then thru the fan itself, and out the roof vent. I run it wide open 24/7 and have a big time negative pressure situation where fresh air is inducted passively.

At any rate I figure I'll post a few pics and see what y'all think.... The white cord in front is to a circulating fan to keep the girls fresh and happy. Threw in the third pic since it looks a little more in focus.

I figured that if I don't put a shot of them in then I would hear about it later. They went into 12/12 the Sunday before 7/1....

1. Looking up their skirts.... to see the grow room amenities.
2. Two hot GDP babes hanging out in their Hempy pots.
3. Lower part of grow closet showing the drainage setup - bus boy trays!

I had to tie up a few colas last night but did not snap any photos at the time. Good stuff yet to come they are 25 days into Flower...

Any questions or photo requests just let me know..... :jointsmile:

Hey how's that fan and super cool hood working? You may want to think about getting the "kinks" out of your tubing there.....

[MVP]

Hey Hound, The hood and fan are working terrific. There is so much velocity for that little closet (3.5 ft x 2 ft deep) that even the little kinks in the vent lines are not a problem. I don't have room on either side to make the bends less drastic but it blows super hard there are no worries. I've been in the attic to double check and it is kicking ass up there regardless of the inefficient setup... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
