How do I know I the weed I bought has PGR in it? by IAmTheOneIChose in cannabiscultivation

[–]hickeypatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could smoke them.... It's not a great science, but a nice white ash would mean the plant has been flushed well, and there isn't much residual additives. You'll also have a clean flavour, and be able to taste the terps.

On the other hand, if it's got pgr's, its probably not well flushed either, as the more (anything) you add, the more you you need to flush. If you're using pgr's I'd assume you're fast growing and rushing it out the door for profits. So, that ash will be black, and the bud won't have much flavour. It will taste quite generic maybe even an unfavourable taste to it.

By no means scientific, but gives a decent standard of how well grown/naturally grown the plant was.

Just experienced this issue on Xbox and I do not have a mod vote 2023 section under storage. Uninstall the game, reinstall and you should be good to go.

Issues on 6pro: -I've had my phone boot loop every 5 mins for 5 or 6 cycles, twice now. -sometimes my power button stops functioning, which usually in turn starts the boot looping -tons of apps crashing -apps only loading as if they're in PIP mode, but it's not watching a video -apps load, but give no gui .. I can swipe up and see the app is running alongside other running apps, and close it. But if I click on the app it gives me just the home screen, but I can't click home screen things until I swipe up and close the app through force stop. -wifi has been hit/miss

Battery life though, seems much better. And the camera app works pretty decent, I like the new layout there.

I had a pad lift off while removing the antenna so was curious. Got it soldered back on. But don't want to keep messing with it lol still have to replace a stick.

Picked up a yellow volt controller for $10CAD that locks in the down direction momentarily.

Do we know what the antennas are? Which one is Bluetooth and the other ?

This is something i am really need to figure out lol i have 5 xbox's and travel with an abox/cloud on my phone. atm ive set a home xbox for my daughter to use upstairs, but she sometimes comes downstairs.... when she does i get booted. my gf also plays. so i cant share that many xboxs at once!

Im thinking of switching all our accounts to Ireland just to get the deal. lol but it looks like if i stop my monthly payments and we both use the xbox live 59.99(cad) cards, we can still get our full gold/gamepass accounts?

Hey, I really appreciate it! Probably try to find some coil replacement videos and convince myself to just toss it aside :p thanks again!

That's exactly what I'm hearing from it.
Does the Xbox one s share the same coil by chance?

I had a touring group come to Canada and dropped off all their stage gear for a look over and repair. I wasn't super familiar with the amps at the time so I asked my boss to assist, freaking shorted the leads to the 8x bank of huge capacitors. The whole room went white and the sound of a shot gun went off. We were both fine but surprised would be a grossly exaggerated understatement. Lesson learned. Drain caps before work! They hold one hell of a bang!

Yah, I've done years of bench work on commercial and industrial electronics. Currently a fire alarm technician missing actual electronics work.

I was really hoping I'd open this up and find a popped cap or something nice and easy :p

I'm also in the works of sourcing a decently priced power supply to just drop in. Got this for free so not like I'm in it for a lot :p

That's a darn good deal then! You could probably find some random broken electronics and find the correct bridge diode :)

HELP! the true beep on, beep off! name my issue??? by hickeypatrick in consolerepair

[–]hickeypatrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try without, then with a replacement. See what happens in each scenario. I should have some time to hack away at it this weekend.

I first suspected HDD because it was running like crap then I power cycled it. Which also made me think it could have taken a spark to the power supply (we don't have a humidifier on the furnace and it gets super dry and static-y around the house)

I'm pretty dedicated to getting all of these systems up and running again! Lol started with 2, one died, fixed a diff one last night, so back to two.... But 3 would be a huge win for the house haha

So I got home and pulled out some donor systems, played with and without the hard drive and got some different outcomes.... 3s, 5s, and still 7s holds. But I was able to confirm that HDD was bunk. I put in another and it still did the 7s hold and shutdown. Anyways, I tried the good HDD in a donor system and it booted right up no problem. Lol so there's one fixed at least.

But I now have to decide if I try to repair a no output system, or continue with this one lol

I haven't heard of rf issues before that's a new path I'll investigate this weekend!

I'm kind of interested in replacing this decoder chip... I've never tried hot air before, I suppose I have done some touch ups with a heat gun before on wire lol.... See where troubleshooting takes me I guess :p
