pappy yea those three are all the same
ppm=parts per million
tds=total dissolved solids
ec..... electrical conductivity??? idk..

but yea i look at em like celcius to farenheight type deal... if my tap is anything over 400 i cut ca feed a bit... however mine doesnt have issues it seems.,..

local govt should be held more accountable and in a more public light when concerning the entire neighborhoods drinking water, aside from our ladies lifeblood;)
sadly im sure that "water" of pappy's still falls within safe drinking guidelines,and is probably because of line flushing or seasonal changes they make to the water supply to adjust the pH so it doesnt corrode the pipes

my tap water is much better in winter. They mix water for summer use. Winter theres no mixing. I use the winter tap comes out at 50 ppm. Summer comes out at 380-800 ppm. Before I noticed this I had some plant issues. Water safety guidelines differ greatly depending on if its well water or not. well water has much higher levels they say are safe.

:tumbleweed: holy shit that had to be one of the worst rides i have taken recently...found a couple ok fossils,nothing that justified that torturous fricking ride in a steady 30mph wind with gust to 45 mph....oh my god that sucked balls!!! even when i finally turned and had the wind mostly at my back it still sucked....even when i was blasting along at 25 mph.....the wind was pushing me hard enough i could coast at about 15 mph without pedaling....

glad thats over with,hardest 25 miles ive ridden recently....even hill climbing is better...

is that the stuff you use a drill paint mixer to stir?

thats why i like my GO nutes,simple,effective,and i barely even have to measure,if only they would last in a rez they would be perfect....

you know i have my little weirdness about doing everything by hand,and so far its been far more reliable for me than any other method...i had to cut a piece of plywood the other day and instead of just borrowing a circular saw i had to hand saw it...didnt take that long and it was done with....and just yesterday i was thinking frack,i could rent a rototiller and be done with this garden work in hours instead of days...but then i need to drag someones truck into the picture and i just dont like to do that....
i know im weird,but at least i try and be consistently weird...

I believe the word is "old school", not wierd. Wierd is the kids these days wearing super tight pants and sagging them. As if both of those things arent horrible enough.

Just put the youngest to bed. Gonna go catch a puff. Ill be back to bug you all with questions later:biggrin:

Fill the rez, put in the drip stakes , then the plants ..... & shes ready to rock !!!

both filters are in ... one intake up .... one down .









Gotta do some transplanting again tonight . got the headbands done yesterday , the glues will be done tonight . the HB will go in in a couple days ... wanna give them a chance to build some roots first . then the glues will go in about a week later . glue is 63 days .... HB is around 70 .... so they should all finish right about the same time . 3rd tray i'll fill in a month to get the perpetual back on track . a 2 tray harvest every other month & a 1 tray harvest the next month .

I hope it works like it should .
