cheers mate, ive no problems myself so far so i was only wondering if it was a 'must have'. even if i do develop problems theres a chemist shop(drug store) 5 mins away that stocks it. i like to keep stuff around though so that ive got it immediately; dutch master reverse, neem oil , etc. im not one for going the sterile route anyway, the plants exist quite happily in the outside world so i think you can become a bit ocd/anal about shit like that for no real good reason.

I'd imagine it's alot harder to keep a sterile reservoir than a 'living' one.

i used to have a mohican back in the 80s and bleached and dyed my hair almost weekly so ive used it many times for that purpose but it was only since i started growing i noticed people talking about it for plants, at first i thought i must be reading it incorrectly as i assumed it couldnt be the same stuff as it would destroy plants; chemistry was never a subject of mine. but i did a bit of research and saw it for what it is. i'll probably buy a bottle just in case and use it as a preventative as and when.

Well from what I know there are two schools of thought in the DWC world concerning the reservoir. Either you keep it sterile or you use beneficial bacteria and I think only the guys that go sterile use hydrogen because like you said it kills the microheard.
Thing is, the one time I ran a DWC to see what the big deal was with it, I never got any kind of algae or slime and I never changed the water in the 4 weeks I had it running.

I'm from the thrid school. The one that doesn't give a shit and doesn't tamper with things because they see no need. I've not cleaned anything be it net pots, hydroton or the buckets in a couple of years, i don't ever encounter problems i've not directly caused myself. Like yourself, i've never encountered slimes or algeas or root rot, i'm not too sure how i'd go about doing that.

ive heard plenty about folk using it in hydro to keep unwanted shit at bay algea n stuff. good to keep the gunk down and also in really diluted quantities you can wash buds that have got powder mildew on and it'll just float off. think the important thingis the dose too much an you can guess the result eh.


im fuckin on it tonight. got the pass

Donald you old rascal. How're things? I have to apologize but i've had a joint and a few beers and have all of a sudden turned rather formal. Might be something to do with the choir part in Labyrinth - Earthquake, playing with my mind, pick a genre, what are you!

Any plans with your pass? Or just a big bottle of spirit at home? Don't watch Hallpass, crap film.

Superpowers do have their issues, such as your very own issue of intruding, but that's ok, i forgive you.

I'm cracking but I'm no fan of horror films in any small measure. Grr, i keep having to go back and edit it, i keep calling films movies. Stella is the beer of beers if there are no decent beers within the price bracket, i picked up 12 bottles for £6.50 instead of about £10, at the shop earlier, thought hell an bought another 12. I have many many plans for when i return to the UK, i am looking more seriously on putting plans into action for acquiring a house, my goal is a 2-3 bedroom cottage with gardens vegetable areas and out-buildings and garages. Most of the good ones i've seen are about £250K which shouldn't be too much of an issue if everything works out, and from then on well :) Glass blowing and woodwork are the first two on my agenda, right after setting up a couple of tents or so in the spare bedrooms :D

Haha, the avatar, i think i said cake, someone got jealous because they're a little bitch and i henceforth became the "fuck you" cake fairy and jut ate all the cakes :) As to my profile, um, i was drunk, so made every option i saw the same colour. It's quite a comprehensive list.

furry muff man horror isnt everyones bag, tho that woman flick looks more comedy. as for beer well up north everythings fuckin cheap i picked up 8 pint cans of stella for 8 bar 50. can't be vexed imho. i dunno but bottles never seem value for money, few sips and it's done.

fella if your looking to grow enough to cover the deposit you may as well grow another few year and buy a plot n get the fuckin' thing built to your spec. setting up big tents or rooms is a grand plan if you can handle it. that's nearly a full time job 2-3 rooms. means to an end though eh.

Haha, i have other things in mind instead of growing for a deposit, in fat no deposit, bought outright. The final result intended is for me to have a big ol country place that has it all for me, space for crafts which will provide income (i've been looking and asking around, and depending on location, there is a HUGE demand for hand blown glass, which could itself manifest into a side venture retail wise. But the other key thing is i want the space to have animals and grow all my own veg, i've had a dream of sel suficiency and a simple life for a long time now. Plan hard play hard!

4 pint cans of stella down here would be touching £7 i only buy what is on offer. There were 4 aston martins and a trio of jag xkr's parked outside of work one day last week, pricing of items in shops in this neighbourhood is not of the foremost significance.
