Yes, that's my house. Apparently midiboxing is not gonna be possible the next couple of days...

Did the article say "the 25 year old blew up the house growing weed?"

if so... Damn! can I get some of that????

Hopefully Your not that 25 year old and also that your ok...

[nILS]

I'm not that 25 year old, and yes it did say that (although the article didn't connect the growing weed and the explosion).

I'm fine, as I was lucky as hell. My car wasn't quite as lucky. It got hit by a window falling down from the 4th floor. Just sucks to run out of a building in your boxers and not be able to get back in to get such helpful things as, say, pants or money :-/

[Twin-X]

WTF you were in the building when it happened?

Glad you are allright.  :)

[nILS]

Yep. I playing trace tetris in boxer shorts ;)

[lief138]

If that dont get the ladies attention.... I would know what would. :) Glad you are ok

Damn dude that is extreme. I know what it's like to lose everything, it can be hard, but it can also be really refreshing - you get a whole new life ;) Hang in there bud!

[nILS]

Being the lucky bastard I am, I didn't really lose anything. Well except for a good nights sleep in my own bed. A minor shock and some hours of adrenaline overdose don't really count as a loss.

Sorry to hear about this man.

Do you live in an apartment block?

If so, then that guy is putting everyone elses lives in jeapordary with whatever lighting system he was using.

If youre gonna grow weed, do it in a house that doesnt effect the lives of other people!

Im guessing the guy got evicted since this?

[Ashiman]

i think it was the propane-butane that blew up , as used for some kind of cleansing(?) process . The guy surely cleansed himself out , LULZ .

[DrBunsen]

Ah, alkaloid extraction.  Mmmmmm, solventy  ;D

Glad to hear you're OK.

Alkaloid extraction for weed???? I don't think that's very common.  I know it's very easy for something like DMT but does it work with THC? Isn't it more likely that it's being used to sterilise equipment.

Gutted about the explosion Nils, I can't read the article, but I hope there's not too much damage.

Various solvents can be used to extract cannabinoids from the weed. Ethanol, buthane, acetone, etc. "Honey-oil" is what it's called (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_oil), not exacly alkaloid extraction. It's more common than you think.

I don't get the "propane-butane" part tho. Especially coupled with "equipment sterilization". And I know thing or two about growing :P

CO2 tank explosion? Um, no ::)

Oh yeah, sorry about what happened nILS :-\

[asafnetzer]

nils, hope you're ok and not much was lost.

P.s, people around here knows too much, maybe a sub-forum ?  :o

[nILS]

Yeah, I'm just waiting for someone to suggest midiboxWeed  :-\

[Enth]

Yeah, Midibox is all you need for your dream-come-true midized & fully automated grow-room project!

Yes, I've seen the honey oild extractors.... You pack a metal tube with "plant matter" and then spray a can of butane in the top and the oil drips out. He must have been growing a fair bit if he's making oil. The only thing I've ever seen used for extracting alkaloid is naptha (or hexane) which is cheap as it can be collected and re-used.

The sterilization thing was a wild guess, i'm not sure what you would use propane for in the growing process of weed. Maybe there was a Crystal-meth lab up there.

good to know you are ok!... now take your underwear to the laundry fossi :D
