Jumping off MC’s page, @Lil Dab the extra ppm in my situation is cacium carbonates but i dont add any extra cal-mag ever or i will get lockouts like crazy. Basically i play it safe with anything with calcium in it.

I was just looking for what MOG told me about my water here’s what he told me when I first started:

That water is not good for growing cannabis. It is the high carbonate and high alkalinity that is the problem.

In a perfect world you would have a whole house salt water softener then an RO system for your drinking water and garden.

What is going to happen is all that carbonate will bind to Ca, Mg and all of the micro-elements. It would take a lot of PH down to get it in range. It is like the Borg it takes everything to its side and leaves none for the plant.

This is a good paper on the subject.

If i was running coco or rockwool or any other type of hydro with a totally inert substrate, it would effect me more, in my opinion having the buffer of soil gives me that buffer needed. That is all very good information and @Mañ'O'Green definitely knows his stuff. If and when i have any issues my water will be the first thing i look at. Maybe there are other variables that make my water “good enough” for growing cannabis?! I know it takes very little ph down to get my nutes in range and the 1000ppm is after its ph’d. it would be fun to do a side by side with my tap water vs RO. Maybe next round so i can run plants of the same strain. Id be interested to see if there is any noticeable improvement on the end product.

Good Morfnoevight All! EO'n'Dabs.

I am dabbing the @LaughingHyenaSeeds Russian Winter this morning. I am ripped!

Spoiler: On the menu:

Remember the Meat Pies I froze the other day? It turns out that the pie dough freezes just fine. The instructions in the recipe say not to freeze it? Oh well. I am glad it works ok because the meat pies from frozen are fabulous.

Breakfast was well balanced this morning and the coffee was better but it ain't never going to be good. only two days worth left.
The Strawberry jam is worth all the effort. The Sumo was good.

I remember my grandmother saying something about gardening by moon phases.

I'll crack the first joke
I don't think she meant planting in plumber pants....

Anyone here plant or harvest by the lunar table?

I'm curious because there's a full moon and a total lunar eclipse at her 10 weeks.

Yes, when I had a truck farm I and many of the farmers I knew would follow the Old Farmer's Almanac theory's. It works.

Did I miss a link to the give away?

You probably weren't born yet. The original contest rules were written in rosin script and and got all dabbed up.

For sure AFN has always gone the extra mile to make sure it's members are treated fairly. Thanks Hobbes and Mossy, 420 and silly Dogz.

Whom ever called Frank a Neanderthal this time better fess up and apologize so he can come home. Has anyone heard anything from him?

Been a tough winter
