$500 for some LED strips that lay on the floor?

Mang..... I'd try laying some mirrors down first.

Or, you could just grow another plant instead of fussing so much with hardware...

That and i dont meed any labs to tell me my weed doesnt have any pesticides in it, because i grow it!

Exactly. That is precisely why I got started in this mischief. It isn't just the pesticides either, too much of the commercial stuff has mold in it. An aquaintance of mine shared some of his Big Bud that he got from a dispensary. The bud was big alright, and every one of the few he gave me had obvious rot inside it, but it still ended up being sold. I chucked the lot in the bin, which is the only place it should have gone.

I still havent found a way save bud from mold or rot. Some people say chemical solvents will strip just the volatile compunds ie. cannabinoids and leave behind the mold and plant matter. Ive never tried it! Hopefully im never that hard up to try it! The fact that it is passing tests in labs that look for mold and is still being sold points to one of two things: 1) they are inexperienced and do not know how to identify and or look for mold, pests etc. or 2) they know about it, but dont care about their customers enough to change anything that might impact monetary gains! I dont want to be doing business with people in either of those scenarios. I have dreams of running a farm for medicine, and when that happens, customers will be top priority. If your product is fire, making money shouldnt be a problem . Getting greedy and fucking people over for profit! Those people are always exposed eventually.

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.

Water Quality for Crop Production​

Water Quality for Crop Production Irrigation water quality is a critical aspect of greenhouse crop production. There are many factors which determine water quality. Among the most important are alkalinity, pH and soluble salts. But there are several other factors to consider, such as whether...
