First, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but my intent is only positive.

but folks, were In a water crisis here. Have you heard? Cycling and dumping gallons of water down the drain during a hydro grow is not okay.

How many gallons of water a week do you use for your grow?

Hydro is totally ok. I love that shit. Carry on with the watering and just stop growing hydroponic vegtables. Problem solved. See how i did that? Future govenor of cali right here :clap:

if you don't feel a need to change res every week I'd think soil would actually take more water.
The only thing I see that should be a concern is what's in the water we're dumping our res at change time?
Some things not so good getting into public water.
Personally I don't even change res but once during a cycle and that's when I flip.

how about we just shower once a year, and instead of taking a shower all by yourself, get the wife and kids and cats and dogs in there with you, you know, kill as many birds with one stone as we possibly can.

water shortage, seriously though, i thought something like 3/4's of the earth was water?

Yeah man, you can drink water. But maybe rethink wastefully pouring it down the drain (if you do).

You all matter, and you all make a difference. Every drop counts. It's not about comparing and rationalizing, it's about reducing. So find the ways you can easily shave off a few gallons usage and feel good about the choices you make, and the impact they have.

Don't waste water and don't dump synthetic fertilizers in the drain. Indoor medical growers have to be efficient, the ones with lots of runoff (ammoniacal nitrogen) are big agriculture and southern cal.
Indoor growers are probably not wasting much water. Wasting water and chemical runoff is bad practice for any farmer. boycott hydro ? can you elaborate?

I use my waste water to water my garden and loquat tree...they love it.

And sometimes, I just let I run down the drain.

I was being a bit exaggerative when i said boycott hydro, like I said, that's ridiculous.

We're running out of fresh water in California, it's real simple.

One reason that this should be alarming to all Americans is the fact that a huge percentage of our fruit, nuts, and vegetables come from California. The following information was sourced from the USDA’s Agricultural Census in 2007. Look for the prices on these items to skyrocket should the drought continue:
Crop: Percent Grown in California in 2007
Pomegranates: 100%
Artichokes: 99%
Kiwi: 97%
Olives: 96%
Figs: 96%
Pluots: 95%
Plums and Prunes: 94%
Brussel Sprouts: 93%
Avocados: 90%
Nectarines: 89%
Garlic: 85%
Celery: 83%
Grapes: 83%
Dates: 82%
Apricots: 82%
Cauliflower: 82%
Broccoli: 81%
Lemons: 79%
Persimmons: 77%
Honeydew: 77%
Tomatoes: 76%
Lettuce: 73%
Nuts: 65%
Carrots: 62%
Strawberries: 59%
Spinach: 59%
Tangerines: 58%
Chinese Cabbage: 49%
Asparagus: 47%
Cantaloupes: 46%
Peaches: 44%
Limes: 42%
Non-Valencia Oranges: 37%
​





Then we must rember that the last 100 years in the west and mid west have ben some of the wetest ever . Rember the dust bowl



No 1 answer will 'cure' the problem , But if we dont start doing something we will be in trouble soon

- Population controls

-- deport illegal aliens
-- grey water refuse systems for gardners

Since we mankind build citys , we must stop building them over fertile ground (90% of citys are over fertile ground), and build elsewear , Think about it ever look at a population map , it might as well be a fertile ground map , and the unfertile ground is where most of our farming is done ........

Im not advocating some adgenda 21 plan, we can can have some central planning by offering tax breaks and such

I know very little about hydro airponics or any of that jazz , but to me concerning MJ the answer is simmple legalise it like carrots so it can be grown outdoors with sun, rain
Not only are we saving water but a ass load of POWER

if you deport illegal aliens back to w/e, sure, it might help reduce water use in wherever they were at before deportation, but it's not like just because you sent some people back to say mexico, those people will no longer need or use water..
or do you just say eff it, let mexico worry about that?? doesn't seem like a very friendly way of solving a water crisis imvho..

We just need some people to build pyramids in cali so we can sacrifice some goats on top of them. It worked for the mayans back in the day. I think we should give it a try. The blood soaking into the land would add some moisture one way or another. ;)
