...you walk in the streets and can't avoid to look up to figure the wattage and type (HPS/HM/CHM/etc) of the street lights bulbs...
...your bath is always full of hydroton and your girlfriend has to ask you to take it out every morning...
...you surprise yourself misuring EC and PH of any water that comes to your hands...
...you buy the third reservoir ....

Great posts guys and gals
...You love the smell of the nutes that you put in the water
...When you are in neighborhoods and you smell that sweet smell you wonder, are they growing in there
...When driving through the desert you think, if only I could build a building out here

- you know to go for a pee before you go to the grow room
- you have strong opinions about air stones
- you don't just look at other people's house plants, you give a diagnosis.
- you can give a detailed analysis of your tap-water including an exact pH and EC off the top of your head. For a bonus point - You know the exact breakdown of trace salts, going back over the last five years.
- when you look at a fish tank, you don't even notice the fish as you're too busy looking at the air pump and air stones
- and most importantly you sometimes have to weigh plants down with bricks to stop them from falling over from the weight of the bud.

When you look at ocean waves or when you look at waterfalls and rapids, an think, WoW theres some nice dissolved oxygen going on right there.

When you start pissing in the sink, cause you know you could've saved that fresh toilet water for a combined portion of a rez change.

When the sound of air pumps and waterfalls starts to sound normal.

When you have enough parts lieing around to build 3 or more COMPLETE systems .

When you become sick of buying buckets for different systems, and your buckets look like swiss cheese, cause you started cutting pieces of empty nute container plastics and hot glueing them to patch over the holes on the old bucket.

When your hot glue gun is starting to be considered one of your best friends.

when you've got custom belt holsters for your ph and ec meters.

when you've got hundreds of different size plastic containers laying around with all kinds of weird holes drilled in them and are now useless.

when you've got a box with thousands of dollars worth of old water and air pumps.

when you've got leftover containers from a bunch of different hydro nutes.

when you've got raised "gardening" beds around your yard filled with old hydro media.

when you make a big show of building pvc furniture in your front yard in front of the neighbors to cover up the real reason you are always whacking up pvc.

when this thread makes you laugh.
