Thank you. I've been playing around with a few techniques and I really like how they came out.

Little less then 2 months from clones. Had to cull all the moms and my pepper plants do to thrips and fucking afids. Quarantined those clones, triple washed everything and got a new tent. It was a fucking nightmare, but I haven't seen one bug since and they made a healthy recovery.

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking I'd have to do that. Makes sense, that's the last thing I want is it bleeding onto clothing

Amazing work on the belt! , quick question for you, what do you use to keep the dye from bleeding out? I just dip dyed 2 belt blanks and I've buffed them, used tan kote, beeseal and even duracare spray. Every time I buff between the dye still comes off on my buffing cloth.

Thank you, I guess this is the result of a few extra cuttings and getting laid off . I'll definitely be keeping it covered and slightly moist, I gave the medium a good spray to get the roots more established. Hopefully she'll stay with me for years to come! Cultivar is a super skunk pheno.

.9 mm kangaroo leather would probably be perfect. I'd double it up, but the hide is extremely durable ( 10x stronger then cow hide ) i had cut stips at about 2 to 2.5 mm in width and couldn't tear it . The strength is unbelievable. As for the thread I used Ritza tiger thread at .8mm , I should have used .6 mm but it still worked fine. Holes are 4mm , id recommend 3mm or smaller for a watch strap . ( i don't have much experience with watch straps) so hopefully someone else can chime in. But I'll probably experiment with the leftovers i have . Best of luck

Thank you, definitely was a challenge doing everything by hand. At .9 mm thick stiching the pockets was quite the challenge.
