It is against the law to mention global warming in Florida. They are afraid everybody will move away if they realize the whole state will be under water. You would think they would use the scare tactic to build an Amsterdam dyke system and spend tax money.

I saw something on nat geo? talking about the system they were working on in the Gulf of Mexico outside New Orleans so you would think something is being worked on for that tourist (dollar) haven....

Lol shit they'd have to build a dike around the whole state. And then pump the everglades over the side, lol

I lived there for awhile and it made this Colorado boy nervous; I mean, if you're a dozen feet above sea level anywhere in South Florida, have a look around cuz you're on the second floor of something!

Here's the best part; if you just left Florida the fuck alone, it would rise over time by capturing the sediment moving down the everglades and using it as foundation, as the roots of millions of mangrove trees help stitch it together.

Can't do that and have shopping malls or subdivisions or freeways, though, so I guess they're shit outta luck!

Anyone use coconut water in their cloner? It's been years since I've used coconut water. Never used it in hydro. If I remember correctly it doesn't ferment or foam up when aerated like seed sprout tea's do

It's just that all my kona sunset cuts have had white root stubble all over the stems for over 3 weeks but no roots. They developed stubble after the first few days. Everything else has huge roots. So I thought adding some enzymes would help.

I can't find any fresh coconuts local except walmart. But those are from Mexico and soaked in formaldehyde. No bueno. So I grabbed some harmless harvest coco water from Ralphs. It's not pasteurized at all. Not steam sterilized nor made from concentrate. Fresh as you can get in a bottle I guess .

I'm about to dump some in my cloner.

Should be ok, though I know coconut water starts to smell after 1/2 day in the bottle (after I break them open) so possible it does ferment? Wouldnt aloe do the same thing? I usually use coconut water straight away....

Fresh aloe might clog the pump and sprayers. Fresh aloe enzymes and other beneficials start to break down after 10-20 minutes. So I've only added it to tea's right before using them. Aloe powder I don't know. I've only bought aloe powder once for foliars. It was over priced imo.

Yep true that, it does start to break down and I didnt even consider it clogging the sprayers...I have never used the powder only fresh. Do you initially dip your cuts in aloe?

Not really. Directly dipping in aloe gel, I found it caused the stems to rot in a cloner, being exposed to the air.

I do soak them in tap water for a day. Sometimes I've added aloe to that water. But I really haven't seen a difference with plain tap water or with aloe in the soak. I think once the chlorine in the tap water heals the cut, they don't really uptake much.

They do get foliars a couple times a day.

Why would you use water with clorine in it that's almost instant death for cannabis .

I water straight from tap here and this is what I just found on the water :). Sounds good to me or at least the plants like it

The team found high concentrations of manganese and iron and insufficient levels of chlorine at multiple locations.
Meanwhile, tap water samples taken from houses in District 8, xxxxx and xxxxx contain no chlorine whatsoever.

Well then why do I have to let my chlorinated tap water sit to evaporate before I use it....if I don't the plants die .

I also let my water sit for at least 24 hours before I would use it, but I never had a reason to believe my water was bad, it was more of I wanted to make teas, etc and this was part of the system. I have since simplified, water from tap, water with coconut water, water with aloe, water with blackstrap
