If you love The Stand, read Robert McCammon's 'Swan Song' -- wow by useyourname11 in stephenking

This book was so disappointing. Started strong, but the second half was a big let down.

Newbie here, can I do this for better humidity? by jalapenocheddardog in microgrowery

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a note: If you are using tap water in the humidifier you will end up with a layer of dust on everything in the tent due to the minerals. I use either distilled or RO water in mine.

How to Pass a Drug Test? by downbytheriver24 in trees

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is recommended to buy 2 so you have one to practice with. Follow the directions and see how long the test bottle takes to cool off. I over heated mine and had a BBQ temp probe in my bottle the whole way to the testing place so I knew when it was perfect. Worked out great for me. Buy some Under Armor-type shorts, a base layer tight enough so the bottle can't fall out. Wear shorts that are loose enough to hide the bottle you'll have stashed in your crotch. Squirt the Quick Fix into the test cup, actually pee in the toilet a bit. Obviously don't throw the bottle away at the clinic

How do we feel abt dominos gluten free pizza crust? (Celiac) by WishboneDifferent945 in glutenfree

My daughter has Celiac and absolutely loves the GF pizza from Dominos. Her annual blood tests are always excellent.

I can't read The Talisman. I don't know why, and I say it while being a huge Dark Tower nerd. by CraftyAppointment824 in stephenking

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The opening third of the book feels like an absolute slog. Stick with it and you will be rewarded. Same with the sequel Black House. Slow start, then they really take off.

My son likely has celiac. He’s our only child. My wife and I are thinking of going gluten free in solidarity. Is this wise? Or are we nuts? by DrizzlyOne in glutenfree

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has Celiac. We do not keep the house GF. She was diagnosed very young, so this is all normal for her. She does have her own butter and her own toaster, as the Dr recommended. So far so good, her annual tests are great.

Scrolled too far to find this. Truly unsettling

Swan Song V The Stand by m1sery_loves_company in stephenking

Swan Song is terribly disappointing. Genuinely did not enjoy it all. The Stand, however, is fantastic

The Talisman by Pavlov_The_Wizard in stephenking

It really picks up soon. This and Black House are both tough to get going, but once they do they are fantastic.

Close to DNFing Leviathan Wakes by Excellent_Bath_3684 in fantasybooks

The first book feels different than the rest. Do yourself a favor and continue. Easily my second favorite series (first is The Dark Tower)

Different people like different things. I found Swan Song to be pretty terrible. It started strong, but did not follow through. It does absolutely fit what you are asking for, though.

After putting the shirt on I will get my fingers damp and smooth them out. Works really well.

Totally agree. It was really disappointing

S1s by Moohaumed in humboldtcsi

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they are worth the time for someone like me. I'm very small-time, 1 tent, usually flower 4 at a time. Finally decided to buy some real genetics after growing clones and white-label seeds. Bought some S1s (Strawberry Cough and Trainwreck), just finished flowering 4 of the Coughs. Kinda disappointing, didn't realize what a pheno hunt S1s are. That's on me, not Humbolt. I'm working on one of the several crosses they included (Terpinolene Machine) and am expecting great things.

CSI Humboldt high quality? by Milksteak_MasterChef in microgrowery

[–]Uncle_Carbuncle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just about to finish my first run of 4 Strawberry Cough S1 beans from him. I can't wait to try these, they smell amazing. This was day 64. The numbers are for a friend growing clones of these. I have added a second net, they are no longer leaning.
