Nutrients & Additives

I just looked at the Nutrient and Additives section of the forum.
The only company that is not active is Dutch Pro, are we still working with them?:sleeping:
Not interaction with forum members for a couple of years, no reply to forum members questions.:rolleyes1:
I mention this because the only activity is from @Vapo, who always puts on a good show.:smokeit:
I too am a user of dutch pro, which is why I dipped in!
If they are not wanting to be part of the forums, that would be a great shame!:nono:
Maybe this is something that has fallen through the cracks?:oops1:
Maybe the old rep left the company and no one at Dutch Pro of at AFN noticed???:shrug:
Dutch Pro may still want it at AFN, so it may be an idea to contact them and see if they want to send a new rep!:eyebrows:
Bro...:bow:...all good points that I have been thinking about meself....I have been in touch with a couple of DP reps on IG, provided a link to my thread here....on our glorious little forum, where ALL the good stuff happens......NADA!!....well, they answered me(one is a pretty nice bloke actually!)but no visit here :shrug:...I even emailed Rico.G and asked where I could buy a green DP hoodie(I just like that colour.)he just said they are for staff and trade shows....but no visits still, they must be busy?....guess it's true bro hehe....you don't get no love from a Dutch Pro haha
 
So, fell down a bit of a rabbit hole last night, which is why I poofed around 4pm my time lol. Started with going up to the attic thinking about how I could use that space as a grow room. Come back down and get to googling, my manufactured trusses mean thats a no go. Hmph. Then I was reading about putting a floor into an attic and considering what a shit show the construction of this house is, I'm assuming that's a no go as well. Ah well. Then I start knocking on walls, thinking about possibly taking the wall between my current grow closet and the linen closet down and walling off the linen closet door. Then I realized that would only be adding length, not depth, so again not really worth the effort. Somehow this got me watching videos of remodeling staircases so by the time hubby was heading home from work 6ish hours later I had taken the carpet, pad, and 5 billion staples off the first stair, sanded it down, and stained it the same Java color I'm planning on doing the architectural arch over the exterior of our front door. The dogs think its a black hole and refuse to step on it, and #1 told me this morning it was "more dangerous" if they fell. I told him that yes, it may *hurt* more if they fell, but that walking down the carpeted stairs in socks you actually have *less* traction (especially if that carpet is covered in dog hair, which is one of reasons I wanted to rip it out anyways since trying to balance myself and a vacuum on the stairs is a pain and a hazard of its own lol), which of course he had to test for himself. Once again I've come to find that yet another part of this house is held together with Liquid Nails, random handfuls of hardware, and rage. The Newel Post has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, since apparently cutting a hole for it in the bottom stair and screwing/nailing it from a bunch of random directions is so much easier than using a dowel screw or L brackets and moulding? And don't get me started on the amount of liquid nails holding the stupid carpet down. Good news is they did stair by stair instead of waterfall so I was able to get away with just messing with the one for now. Plan in my brain will be to replace the baluster spindles with wrought iron in a rubbed brass with shoes at their bases, repair/refinish/properly mount the Newel post (though I've yet to decide if I want to do so on the floor or the first stair, its on the floor currently but it could go either way and the stair may be easier), refinish and remount the hand rails (with new hardware to match), and I'll probably need to replace the bottom stair's riser and tread. I'll probably end up taking all of the treads off, or at least remove all the original fasteners, and replace them with new since the stairs currently creak and squeak something awful.

The door isn't finished yet but its just a matter of hubby installing the closer now and then slipping the glass panel in so that shouldn't take too long at all.

When I was a kid, I was more afraid of getting smacked by my mom for being a smart ass than I was of falling down a few little stairs...
Hes got really bad anxiety so any perceived hazard real or imagined is a huge deal, and is only just learning about physics. Once I explained that there's more friction on wood than hairy carpet he understood lmao.
