First try at diamonds, advice needed, please

If I can, pretty much anyone can. I’m not some smarty pants.

@MTOG, I’m by no means a pro. And while I can understand the argument you are making, someone who can’t google super solution really shows how either lazy or lacking they are. Especially when it’s been explained very recently here.

I made an analogy to video games earlier in another thread. But to keep it more on topic, coming in and asking questions like this are the equivalent of asking how to add or subtract in a calculus class to me.

You’re expected to know the basics before you walk into the classroom I say.

@Curious_Roberto I agree 100%, but can for sure see at least a part of the other side. With that being said, I deplore laziness and everyone should attempt to learn basics BEFORE asking dumass questions… but they don’t. Maybe some sort of algorithm that would require a certain amount of threads read or hours spent reading would be in order… in a perfect world

At this point I’ll give the damn spoon, but they’ll also get some sass from me haha.

Anyways, happy holidays!

There is only one verified consultant on here and for some reason all the others lost their badge. I wonder if there is a thread about why.

:rofl:

There are plenty of well qualified people to hire here. Just make sure and check their history.

:joy: same bro

Exactly!!

wrapping ones head around saturation can be cheaply and safely achieved with sugar water…

Seeds are cheap too…

Once those concepts are grasped, then switching to “costs money” & “might blow your ass up” make far more sense…

Yet almost everyone who is given that gem gets all fucking huffy about it…which is just plain dumb.

Understand the concepts. Experiment with them. Safely. With your kids if you’ve got them…

Then learn to generalize…

We’re all sick of people asking for free information that’s already been posted over and over.

Maybe if you actually came here on the regular, you’d get sick of it too.

Edit: I probably came in here with less knowledge than a lot of you newbs begging for free advice. I came and did my homework, so should you jackass.

I love that people skimming through the threads complain about @Curious_Roberto’s blunt delivery of the truth. If you can’t handle the heat, get outta the kitchen.

Buncha whiners lol.

Even before I had an account here, I lurked for about a year soaking in as much as I could from everyone. Seems a lot of new people just want to jump in and get hand outs from the get go.

Edit: cuz I can’t spell

I think it comes from man’s natural desire to take the easy route in life. It’s ok to take the easy road when you can do so honorably. Being lazy is not honorable.

I was here for 6 months reading before I ever decided to speak up. So much value in reading as much as you can here…

Nah, I’ll just beg for it and cry when it’s not given to me on a silver platter.

I feel you! I came knowing jack mother fucking shit… I had a concept of etho, and vaguely of lpg… I didn’t know shit (still don’t know shit), but I DID/was able to discern that the FB groups were filled with mostly cocksuckers. Fuck, I read and read and read, and continue to read and read. I’m glad the way things worked out because I found a place with a bunch a like minded righteous ass mother fuckers that I am more than proud to call/consider friends, or acquaintances!

I too lurked for many months, reading and reading. Finally when I needed to ask something or felt I had a bit to contribute to a newcomer, I made an account and slowly began partaking on the forum.

A lot of us came here and have leveled up significantly as the result…a lot of us know each other in real life and have walked this path together. So there is a tight group of regular members here, who uphold some form of community standards…as it should be

Curious if this “seed crystal” thing is necessary and where it is proven that this works every time and a scientific explanation as to why this works. I am going to continue reading the thread. I like the post as well but I did not see any replies. Thank you for the info.

google nucleation point.

thats really not a bad idea, wen u have all ur solvent recovered like in the pic. do another run on top of it, ide do 2- 3 runs into ur base. if u recover to much or lose to much solvent u can add more anytime from ur tank…(wen using a jar, u can literaly put the jar up to the spout and add back however much u need). or if ur in the oven for a week and u lose to much solvent just hook up your line and add sum back start the clock over.

Great input… and greatly appreciated. I actually went ahead a bought a diamond miner but just haven’t had the time to play with it yet. I have to keep up with patient requests with shatter and crumble so interrupting processing time to play will have to be timed right. it is good to know I was not completely off base and if I can get patients interested in diamonds the little miner I bought will not suffice
