I had some stock continentals that were given to me. The owner of the race car that I crew chief for Cook them off his brand new truck. All the mileage it had on it was from the dealership, to his house and then to the mod shop the next day. They were the stock wheels for an F-350 and mine was a 250. They were definitely taller than mine and I couldn't do a full steering lock but they rode great.................. For a while.
I had belt separation on these tires to begin at 10,000 miles. The separation would make itself evident by it developing a vibration. Naturally the assumption would not be the tires with such low mileage coming so I look to suspension problems. Absolutely nothing wrong, but wasted a bunch of my time!
I had a complete tire machine come, so I slapped on a suspected culprit on to check the balance. I didn't need to check the balance, I could see the problem when I spun it up! Talk about a lot of movement! It was Pathetic!
I hadn't towed much at all. And none of that towing was with a weight distributing hitch. With it being the fronts going bad first, I knew it wasn't caused by towing.
Look would have it I had sponsorship that sent me a nice set of wheels and tires for my tow vehicle. And all it cost me was more their decals on my stuff!
Yeah, some googling and it looks like a LOT of people with the same vehicle I have with the same tires are having the same problem with them wearing out before 30k miles.
Same here...over the past year or so skunk, lemon and gas seems to work well for my ailments. The sweet "dessert" strains, which have become popular over the past several years just don't seem to work on my pains. But, that's just me.
Alright light geeks, what do you think about this?
Here's something that I want to test on my next auto grow.
I think I'm going to select some known short indicas and place them in my 2X4 tent with the far red.
I'm not gonna turn on the far red until it gets past that Spindly seedling stage, but after that it's gonna be on 18/6 with the main light. And I'm gonna run it like that up until about two weeks before chop.
Naturally if I see too much elongation I'll pull it back.
I think one that is a pretty good candidate that I've grown a couple of times and know the structure very well is Sour Stomper. Now there are two phenos and I think I've got the purple one both times. The green one is a bit larger from my understanding. I know her basic structure very well and her bud structure.
I think the only difference would be running them in Earth box juniors. I've never ran sour stomper in anything other than a three gallon rain science bag. And then I'll probably want the top her and train her.
I think I still should be able to derive a conclusion on how the deep red affected Sour Stomper.
The point of that this post is that, one of the biggest things that a lot of growers come up against is stunting. We all know that you really do have to have your stuff Together to be a pretty good grower of auto flowers. Stuff happens and we just don't have the stars aligned quite as well as we thought we did! I'm just thinking this may be one way of helping to avoid or reduce stunting problems early on.
I'm still going to do that testing of the deep red in this upcoming grow with one known photo girl. I think I'm gonna run it same cycle as the main and justice leave it out two weeks before chop. Should be a good test run for the autos.

Alexa what is the wind speed?
"It is currently breezy at 2.9 mph it will remains so for most of the afternoon."
Breezy at 2.9 mph?
Is Alexa just fucking with me or is she that damn dumb?

My car has adjustable camber too and not all places adjust that part! Does no good to have alignment straightened if the front tires are sitting at an angle!Look how many times you Could go back to Bubba, before it would approach the cost of the Firestone deal.
Smoke about it!
Yeah I've had problems finding real alignment guys. The ones that don't just do what the stupid computer says to do.
I built a pretty crazy 04 twin turbo Mustang Cobra. It still had the IRS, but it was super built. This was over a 900 horsepower street car back in 04. Naturally with a street vehicle with that much horsepower, traction is number one in your concern. Well we did run drag tires on the street when we were hunting owner George Bush Raceway........... I mean Tollway. When you're out racing in Mexico, most people wanna be as light as possible. Well we couldn't be that way. To help keep that rear end planted most time we rode 4 deep.
That helped quite a bit, but there was still something else missing. Part of it was getting a better working moose controller, but with using the stock suspension settings, when on full boost the weight would transfer back Like we wanted , but it would change the angle of the tire and most of the weight would be on the inside of the tire and not fully planted. Now this was a fairly limited street time car but it was fully streetable. So my solution was to take it to a guy that I knew how to align a vehicle. I explained to him what was happening and what setting I wanted. So normally driving around there would be more pressure on the outer tread due to the angle. When under full boost and the transfer of weight would level the tire out perfectly and get a full grip all the way across the tread. Once that angle was dialed in, we would beat Hayabusa motorcycles on the roll.
That car was ridiculous to drive at the drag strip though! IRS was just not built for that. And I can build the differential to hold it, but they just couldn't build the axles strong enough. At least not at our horsepower level and weight. They were absolutely no reductions in the weight of this car other than the tubular front K member and that was for clearance for the turbo system. Stock Cobras are heavy as hell to start with and we only added to it!
