i've been giving them plain RO water (70tds) . i used to ad calmag & or cannazyme , but i use zyme all the way through now & i noticed no difference with or without the calmag so ..... plain RO for the last 2 weeks . i'm not reusing the coco , it just gets tossed , so i don't need to prep it for another run with it either .

Have fun G. I'll keep it locked down here where it's nice and toasty.

So I had to deal with thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges on the credit card. Cali and Colorado. Guessing it stems from my purchase at Aqualab Tech but not really sure. Construction company in Cali had a $1400 charge that was listed as an "in person transaction".WTF?

Needless to say I had the CC nuked and got the charges removed. Good thing I check these things. It's easy to get complacent when you don't get paper statements anymore.
Someone paid their bill with your cc. That could lead back to a real person if they pursue it.
and thanks for keeping my seat warm, now pass the fucking bourbon and the bowl :freezing: Where the hell is milo? He would never let a bro come in from the cold with out a shot of liquor.
dress warm G & try not to throw anybody off the roof huh :biggrin:
If I wasn't so damn cold and weak it would have happened. Fucker couldn't find a low voltage blown :bat:

That wasn't too bad G. At least you get to enjoy most of your Sunday.

Gonna fire up the new cloner today with some glue cuts and see how she does.

Also think I'm going to experiment with re-using some coco right in the #5 pot. I'll cut out the stem with a clump about the size of a solo cup. Will then drop in a root bound clone that's been in a solo cup and back fill with a little coco and see how it does.

Since I use Cannazyme every watering it should work out fine and save me some time, effort and coco.

its funny,even in alaska i never owned a parka,always just layered up with a mountaineering shell jacket for an outer layer....but then again i dont drive so i need to be able to adjust my temp by taking off or adding layers depending on my activity level...one of these days i need to get my patagonia jackets shipped in and fixed...some of those jackets i have had for nearly 20 years,lots of gnarly adventures and hundreds of ordinary days out in the wilds,a few edge of survival thank god for good gear tales....
lol,yeah,the best part of this whole bike thing is getting pretty much all new gear for camping and getting to play with everything....and the surly ogre is such a good platform to become whatever you happen to need it to do...i spent an hour this morning taking the racks off and changing from skinny road tires to fat mountain bike tires....this morning a fine touring machine,this afternoon a capable mountain bike....just a change of tires and i go from "look out for the rock!" to "fuck you rock,here i come!"

My beach cruiser has the fat tires too , but its only a single speed which is why i don't ride it often . i thought about turning it into a 5 or 6 speed . but then i saw the pugsly & said screw it i'll pick up one of those instead :biggrin:
I'll give the BC to a deserving kid in need of a brand new bike .
