First of all, +rep, +rep, +rep
To George Bailey, the richest man in town!
But seriously, you've given so much to so many people - your patients, the readers of this thread. Your karma and goodwill generated must be exponential by now.
Now if I may ask a more mundane question.
As I was reading te thread I say that you would have preffered to use the 14 gallon containers as opposed to the 18 gallons, as you only filled the containers half way. To conserve vertical space, and nutrients as well, I was wondering if your system could work with a few modifications for the change in size, using the 10 gallon rubbermaid roughneck containers.
Ace Hardware site gives the dimensions as
23.8L x 15.6W x 8.9H - if that is correct, the length and width are the same as the 14 and 18 gallon containers. By cutting down the height by 7.6", would there be enough room for the system to function properly? If it does, perhaps the pumps will not need as much pressure as they will have a shorter vertical distance to climb. Anyone?
Again many, many thanks, your system is sublime.
P.S. As a repayment for what you have given me, I am going to find a way to seek out cancer/AIDS/whatever patients with needs that I can accommodate, and those that cannot afford to pay, will not have to - I am going to have to be somewhat stealth as my state has not yet approved medical use for MJ, but probably will in the future. (Any advice on where to find folks in need, please let me know - I was thinking of either volunteering or hanging around the chemo wards - don't laugh, it's all I got for now!) So if you're ever feeling down - just think of all the seeds you've spread, the people who are helping patients now b/c you helped and inspired them, it's too big for you to know. You did a good thing, Stinkbud.
