Watching this movie now. Weird the internet has pretty much all media ever made available for easy dl. I don't know how this one made it past me. I thought I'd seen all the weed movies ever made!

"How you gonna call that a controlled substance. Look at the bud structure, the crystal dancity, the smell of them terpenes, you can't synthesize that. That is nature's delivery system" LOL love it.

My 55 gallon drum has two holes; a small one I put the return line for the mixing pump through, and the 'big' 3" fill hole. I can stir with a stick- poorly, or just use the pump.

Where is the supply line to the mixing pump? Not sure I understand this correctly.

Do you have a spigot or other drain or do you just stick a gallon in it to fill it up?

Barrel should be here on Monday, $25 shipped, not bad at all. I like this guys barrels cause they all held sodium chloride double bagged so they should be pretty clean.

Starting some more seeds that DB gave me with these new nutes. Probably the Dank #5's.

What do you usually give for a feed for seedlings? I've heard of people who say they give 1.5EC from the start. I usually aim for around .4-.6EC and usually start on the lower unless I know the plant can handle that.

Duh totally forgot to mention, yeah I drilled a hole for a bung and valve at the bottom. Mixing pump pulls from that low bung and returns to the top.

I give my aerocloner fresh water, noting in it. A swish of a chlorine pool tablet. Clones in rockwool get dipped in my ebb n flood/early veg nutes, pH 5.6, EC 1.4 ..which they'll get for a month or two after rooting as well.

Why 5.6? So you never start from seed?
 
Bro just use Uber if you need rides out here. Just try not to look on the Mexican side and you won't have trouble. Avoid Salt Lake City south city area at all costs. ;) serious.
 
I'd wish my head had been in a better place for vum's visit. I'm doing ok today due to I noticed what a dick I was being. Not to any one person.
I never considered trying my best to not be a dick. circumstances leave me on the passive aggressive side a lot of the time.
Beats being a total dick I suppose.
First I hope you start feeling better man, I don't like seeing you like this and I'm not used to it. Get better man.

Im working on it. Gonna go back to school in the spring. Been exercising and eating right. Felt good today. 70F weather is nice for november.

Got a cool business idea for the indoor growing world.

I just need to stop procrastinating. I have been for a few weeks now. But it will take a while to make up for years of procrastination.
 
well, since tty quoted mark twain not too long ago, i'll follow up with another:

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow." mark twain
 
Well since im onky using a 5lb batch with 11gal its not that big of a waste if it goes bad. But you do the same thing so it should last for me.
 
Ever since I moved here all I have is issues.

Cannot get a plant to look right.

Im feeding clones 0.9EC in veg and thats with 0.2EC tap. So 0.7EC of food and if I go higher i get EC increases. I really need to figure out whats in this tap. pH is 10.3. Never had these issues at the old spot where EC was about the same, but pH was 6.7

Im curious, when measuring EC drops or rises do you fill the res back up to the level started and measure that or do you just measure whats left in the container?

And is it common for plants to not drink or feed much a week or two after transfer? On the Pipedream clones my pH is raising from 5.6 to 6.0 daily and the feed isn't budging and it doesnt look like the water level is budging much either. They are all getting about 0.9EC (0.2EC is tap). The new growth margins are curling down making really narrow leaves and the tips are curling down too. Which to me sounds like over feed, but im not getting tip burn and im getting what looks to be deficiencies, unless I cannot tell overfert from def.

I hear about everyone running 1.4EC-1.8EC from the get go. WTF is wrong with my plants? They seem like they eat when I change the res and then they just stall out. For instance I just changed 2 established veg plant buckets last night, this morning 12 hours later they already dropped 30ppm from 580ppm (1.16EC) to 550ppm (1.1EC)

Same thing in flower except it increases sometimes. I started at 1.0EC a week ago and it got down to 0.84EC and then bounced up to 0.9EC

Purple stalks, purple petioles, bluish/dark green leaves, constant interveinal chlorosis. Rust spots.

I really want to continue growing, but this is stressing me out just for some smoke.
