larf's Staggering Disaster & Husky Hut

[Joebud]

This was my first run back in the day. I blasted maybe an oz.

That looks just like mine did. What's this vacuum thing and how does it work?

This was my old vac chamber.

I would think fans would be dangerous with the electrical arch in the motor.

That's why you keep It back and high up. Butane gas is heavy and pools along the ground. I've always blasted outside too, so it dissipates petty quickly regardless.

I never heard of the vacuum process. Does it turn the honey oil to shatter?

They drop the atmospheric pressure allowing the butane to evaporate with less heat. I usually keep it around 92 degrees.

That was my old chamber. Now I have this one. I'm probably the only person in my state it's a legit decent sized vacuum oven.

My yields off of a 1/2 lb are usually around 65g.

It eventually deflates into its footprint, and smaller bubbles start forming. I let it go for 4 or 5 days before pulling it out. I've never had it tested, but I guarantee it's as low if not lower in butane levels than any dispensary's shatter.

Day 18.

I think they'll be 3 weeks tomorrow.

The plants are huge now. Luckily I think the stretch is over.

2ft from the scrog net.

 

[larf]

Well I screwed up. They grew another 2" since yesterday. They were hardly stretching until I let them go. I think that's most due to the weather warming up. I also didn't give them a full on defoliation for the first time in years.

I'm not worried about the plants under the HLG because they still have a lot of headroom, but the plants under the Spectrum King stretched more and the light hangs around 6" lower. I was thinking about adding another and turning them both down so that there isn't a huge hotspot. But that's a lot of weight on my tent frame and it would be hard to hang up. I really need to upgrade my LEDs. There would be no issues at all if I had bar lights or even more modern QBs.

The veg room is looking good though.
