Trust me I've read the laws, I wouldn't risk it if there was a possibility of jail time. The only way you can go to jail is if you are growing a lot INDOORS, they don't like that. The only dodgy thing is as soon as you pick the buds off your plants outdoors it goes from a cultivating cannabis (100 buck fine) to "possession with intent to sell" which is a lot worse. I'm growing a lot in the bush this year away from my house anyway so no risk at all really.

Not since I've been caught with 2 of them before, and since I tend to carry them round in my boot to show off or cast my fishing lines real far.

I've been known to on occasions :roll: I do it mainly because its a challenging, nice smelling plant and I seem to be very popular around harvest time.

You already broke the first rule of growing marijuana! Tell NO ONE!

Regardless, I would like to keep this forum PG-13 so please take any drug related discussions to Theopia :D .

Still have to paint it and fit the trigger but It's almost done. I have to wait 24hrs now for the glue to dry. Fingers crossed this thing bloody works its cost me an arm and a leg, since I changed plans half way through and had to buy a few different parts.

Yeh I had a go at modding the valve, I haven't cut the hose to length or installed the trigger yet, tomorrow afternoon I will test it at 30PSI, will this be enough to make the valve open properly? Is 24hrs enough to wait for the glue to dry, to test it at 30PSI?

The suspense is killing me

The reason the pipe welding is so dodgy is because I had to do it quick so my old lady wouldn't see it and I knew all along I was going to paint it. The 2 different colours are primer and glue (the primer removes oil and makes the seal better)

The barrel and all the parts are class 18 which is close to sch80 (rated to over 400PSI I think) except the 25mm pipe (class 12) which is only used inside the fittings.
