The screenshot itself didn't work but it seems to have worked to take a screenshot and then crop my image:



Do you think this guy is nearly ready for picking or should I give it another day or 2?

QQ: is it normal for jars to emit water from the air hole whole pressure cooking to sterilize grain?

I put the air filter stickers on the modified jar lids and water from inside came out during the process, so they all got wet. I removed the foil and put them in my grow closet

Will they be alright? Should I do something different in the future?

Thank you in advance

Hey guys, quick question:

Are there any strains that are stronger and more potent than Golden Teacher that grow fine with BRF Cakes and Shoebox Tek? If so, could you share some of the strongest?

Thanks yall.

The stumps will get absorbed back into the sub.

Aborts and stumps are auto digested.  I leave both.

Just finished cleaning and patching up some holes in my repurposed dust to use as a SAB:



I'm confident I got everything sealed right but is there a way to test it for integrity? I thought about blowing some vape smoke into it and then hitting it with a fan from the outside to check, but it sounds kinda silly so figured I'd ask...

Also I put clear tape over the arm holes and cut slits into it. Each time I flame the scalpel I'll need to lift the flap with my opposite hand while inserting my laden hand into the SAB. I've practiced the movement a few times and I think it won't be too cumbersome but are flaps generally not recommended?

I didn't have any contamination problems before, but I saw some air gaps that made me paranoid.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Don’t work with an open flame in the SAB. It creates currents and if you’re working with ISO, bad idea. Develop a smooth flow and flame your tools outside the SAB.

Yeah, cut all that crap away from the arm holes.  The holes are supposed to be open so there is no billows effect from your arms moving while you work.  This is why a glove box is outdated and insufficient for what we do.  By making those tape covers or sleeves or whatever you are creating a billows effect that will turn it from a still air box to a moving air box.

I wouldn't have side shelves, or store things in there, or use alcohol inside the box.  Doesn't matter if your torch is in there, have a box full of alcohol fumes and an open flame anywhere in the vicinity and you will experience what a lot of people here already have, a big woof and no eyebrows.  Sure wipe down your box before hand, wipe down plates and jars when putting them in, but leave the box there with the arm holes open so while the air in the box goes still and the particulates drop the alcohol fumes will vacate the box.

I constantly see people trying to improve the SAB and folks, the simplicity is why it works.  A SAB is a box with open arm holes that prevents air and particulates from moving around.  The more you try to complicate that, the worse it is going to perform.  Just make a box with open arm holes that have enough room not to create a billows effect, like this:



Nothing to create air movement, uncluttered box with tools outside, alcohol use minimum.
