I’m sticking with diodes for the time, it suites my purposes. Image processing I use photoshop and some homemade scripts for 1bit dithering/bw conversion. I went from a 4.2w to a 10w. now i’m reducing the dot a bit. I played with norton’s process, maybe I’ll do some more if I need a splash board in the kitchen or smth.

how big is your work area in the co2?

Cool, I loved my diode and learned a ton with it. I just got tired of not being able to cut wood shapes.
The 60 is 18x24 and the 80 is 20x28”. The good thing is that my machines both have a passthru slot so my beds are actually 18” x :infinity: and 20”x :infinity:. Definitely a lot bigger than my diode lol

Nice. Fun to use! These things definitely can keep you busy. Do you run a business or mainly hobby use?

My first trade!!

I want to thank staff for allowing me to do this to start my grow!!

So first taker was @Pawsfodocaws

Your photo is done and I will be mailing it tomorrow! Thank you so so much for helping me get started.

Please note - I’m no longer accepting trades for engraves as I found my sources. Now that I see people like my work. I definitely plan on doing something like this again. Maybe a fun contest? :man_shrugging:

Interesting, I bet they are dissolving the cannabinoids in alcohol then soaking the isomalt and letting the alcohol evaporate, likely in a vacuum oven.

I do something similar with sugar and Green Dragon tincture.

The term Green Dragon. I’m guessing that is a special strain that you have to use? This is very interesting. I’m going to have to convince the wife about exploring this option. She don’t mind me growing or smoking down in the basement. However, I tried making brownies one time upstairs and she wasn’t thrilled with the lingering smell.

Green Dragon is another name for a cannabis tincture. It is made by dissolving cannabis in alcohol. I have a whole thread about it, check it out when you have some time.

:open_mouth: I’m just blown away now. I honestly thought you need labs and extensive knowledge in chemistry to process. I’m definitely giving this a read later :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m definitely going to be tryin this down the road.

@DudeWithLasers You should take @santero up on his generous offer. He makes amazing unique beans! Im really happy to see the warm welcome you have got. Not surprised… its OG and I think we love when new members ask to trade for beans rather than just show up in the free seeds thread. :slight_smile:

how does the pass-thru work, manual feed or automatic? I ask because my current setup can burn a 33x24 in ~8-11hr. if the pass-thru is automatic, I’ll buy the co2 just for the time saving.

I can’t wait!
Unfortunately my new lights came from amazon the other day and I had to send back. :man_facepalming:t2: A few of the bulbs were not turning on. So I didn’t want to use it. (3 led lights). I know they are small and most likely wouldn’t effect my grow. I just didn’t trust it.

New one comes today! :raised_hands:
Thanks

Just an fyi for LEDs, some far red spectrum ones dont look like they are working, but that’s because your eyes cant see infra red. So if the next lights have the same problem that may be why :thinking:

Pro tip, most cellphone cameras will see IR. You can test if your IR LEDs are working by looking at them with the camera app.
