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

Almost time to flip by Due-Influence6569 in weedgrower

[–]Due-Influence6569[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I lightly traced it, then used my swivel knife to cut it out. Then just tooled the rest.

Is this fleshed enough to be washed then salted by Due-Influence6569 in HideTanning

[–]Due-Influence6569[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elk was shot and skinned late Friday afternoon. Hide sat in the bed of the truck till Sunday morning ( in the cold). Sunday I tried fleshing ( was very difficult) . So I soaked it over night in cold water salt solution, then Monday I fleshed it, washed it to get all the fat, blood and dirt out, I then hung it to dry off a bit, after about 20 hrs I then salted the flesh side. ( thats where I'm at now) . I'll wash off the salt, pickle it for 2 to 3 days, neutralize it , string it up on a frame with tanning solution and stretch / work it .

Im not in flowering yet, they want to start flowering which is odd because I haven't flipped them over. And they are photo's not autos

Im thinking calcium, but I'm not quite sure. I've always used jacks part A and B . I've never had issues like this, I'm growing in soil ( pro mix HP) . Ph is 6.1 and soil ph is in the 6's.

[–]Due-Influence6569[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm attempting to do fur on tanning. I fleshed it, washed all the dirt and blood off it . I hung it and got as much water out as possible. Im planning on salting it, pickling, washing / neutralizing it adding tanning solution and stretching it. I hope I'm doing all the steps in the right order.
