I can't use pump bags because my setup requires that I use the pump's bottom suction cups. So I just cut up a pump bag and wrap a piece around the pump's intake vents and tuck it in. You can secure it with a zip tie if need be. Works great, I never get any debris in my pipes or sprayers.

I'm using floraflex nutes and they dissolve great, so I've just been rawdoggin it. Of course, if this pump gets burnt up, I'll probably start using the bags.

It's been 6 months since I found out I'm pre-diabetic. Heading to the lab @ the Hospital in a few to get an A1C test to see if any of the dietary changes I've made since that reveal have helped. Not sure how long it'll take to get some results...this is a new gig for me. The test my doc did in the office only took about 10 mins...but I'm reading it can take 3-4 days so...yeah...whatever. I just try to focus on being a good patient and getting through the BS without my head messin with me. At least I can have my cappi/there's no fasting for this one. (and no blood draw I know of) Eeeewww.

I pulled a LG and didn't really get on here at all this weekend. Sat am, took mom to birthday breakfast, played a couple rounds of disc golf and hung out at a friend's for a couple hours. Sunday, played some more disc golf, chopped the Cinderella Purple plant. Started trimming it in the morning and then just left the plant on the table when I went to league. Forgot about it and when I was walking up to the house, I was greeted with a faint weed smell about 30' before hitting the front door. Lol. Finished trimming her up, ate some food, watched some disc golf on YouTube and then the fun started. Went to get ready for bed and hopped in the shower. When I went to step out, I slipped and then it was like a cartoon running in place trying to catch my balance. Spoiler alert: I didn't catch my balance. I did however eat shit, scrape up and bruise my back, my hip, my ass, and my knee, broke the shower base as I landed on the metal door frame and bent that, all while somehow breaking my drain the rest of the wayfarer from the base. I didn't hit my head and I woke up not hardly sore at all this morning, so it's a win in my book. Lol. Either way, yesterday is still the best day of the year!!!! I heart DST!!! Oh yeah, I also found a random O ring in my tray when I pulled the CP plant out. I popped the bubbler off and it still had all its parts so I'm really not sure where it came from. Lol

ETA: I'm 43 and thought I had another 20 years or so before I needed to get a LifeAlert and add grab bars in the shower.

i'm pre-pre. i wore one of those continuous glucose monitors last year just to see what was affecting me the worst. turns out white rice is the worst - almost as bad as a candy bar! but sourdough bread doesn't do much. also learned that if i drink a small amount of ACV, like half an ounce, before i eat something sweet, it helps counteract the effects. good luck!

That was an expensive slip up dude. Glad the shower took the brunt of it.

Oh definitely. I'm glad I've been pretty active the last couple years. Skateboarding and now disc golf have probably added several years on my life. I'm so glad iv le got daylight after work again now. Looking forward to getting multiple rounds per week in after work.

Yeah. I've been debating just fixing the drain and reusing the base and surround, but now that decision has been made for me. Haha. Luckily I think I can do most of the work. Plus, I've got a buddy that has offered to come over and just do all tile for me. I'm hoping he'll barter labor for weed. Lol

I ran my res through a colander this morning. Definitely caught some particulates! I realized I often dip a watering can in there to hit some plants that aren't on the system. Of course whatever was stuck to the bottom of the can gets washed into the res. Plenty of perlite lol.
