Some lunch snack action. Honeybaked ham, Humboglt Fog and Cabrales Blu, with some bread and butter pickles. Tasty mold!

Humboldt Fog is freaking awesome! The same company makes a cheese called Purple Haze that is really tasty too!

One of my favorites if not my favorite. Lived in Nor Cal for 20+ years. A friend's printing company did the labels for them and got to go to the creamery a couple times up outside of Arcata. They hooked us up with all kinds of cheese and other items. Super cool people too!

@Lil Dab, bread and butters rock! Bubbies is the preferred brand for jarred pickles this time of year. There's a little old lady that makes amazing ones here locally in the summer. Remind me and I'll get ya some when her season kicks in

I'm going to throw a little bit into the mix!

Take RO water or distilled and bubble it with a consistent temperature.
Guess what happens!
The water becomes more acidic.

Bubblers introduce CO2 in to the water where the CO2 will slowly dissolve and accumalate in to the water over time creating Carbonic Acid.
The is not a lot of CO2 in atmospheric air, it is the constant bubbling which creates the slow accumilation of Carbonic Acid.
Temperature fluctuation will throw a cheap Ph pen off more noticably.
Higher quality Ph meters measure the temperature and use a calculation to give a more accurate reading of Ph.
I have used bubblers in the past but now use a small water pump, which creates the surface of the water to constantly move, allowing oxygen to dissolve into it.
I know the topic of the conversation is the Ph fluctuation of water, or the assumed fluctuation of Ph in water, due to temperature fluctuations and misreadings of cheap Ph pens, which don't account for temperature swings.

However I also want to add that bubbling water does not put oxygen in to the water.
The introduced bubbles rise to the top and then moves the surface of the water, allowing for atmospheric oxygen to dissolve into the water, much like the wind blows across a pond and the same thing happens, oxygen dissolves in the water.

If you want to force oxygen into water you need to make micro bubble or nanao bubbles.
Using an air pump with the right additional parts makes this possible and the micro/nano bubbles remain suspended in the water ratrher than just rising to the surface and poppping back into the air.
The worry of Carbonic acid is removed by the fact that Oxygen is 21% of the atmospheric air, whilst CO2 is just 0.04$% which means the pump does need not to be constantly on, it only needs to be on long enough to oxygenate the water!

If you're talking about the original Nosferatu, it was quite groundbreaking in several areas for the time.
But when viewed in today's context, it is definitely very entertaining and quite laughable.

New one thats probably a remake but is in theaters now

Ahh good old sarcasm, I noticed you quoted my post but gave no reaction.
Instead, I get you quoting me with a gif of Joey pulling a face!
You didn't even try googling it but you could have done and then realised the error of your understanding, instead you'd prefer to dump on me from your ivory tower of ignorance, with nothing to back it up.
I'm done with nasty snide BS.
Prove me wrong or move on!
Maybe @Waira would like to put his 2 cents in here, I know he knows, that I know my shit!
This is also a conversation that I have had in depth with St.Tom, when he was having Ph fluctuations and asked me for my opinions.
I am here to help, discuss, chew the fat and generally bring good vibes, It would be so much nicer if we were all on the same page!
This is "Live Stoner Chat" not "Live Stoner Stab You In The Back"!
Let's all try to get along and be nice to one another & if you haven't anything nice to say, best keep your mouth shut!

We're talking the 2024 remake, where it takes.............for.........eeeeeeeeeevv...errrrrrrrrrr........to.........move........

I cheered when the good guys died. The remake was sooooooooooo bad.

More of a Chandler guy, I take it?

I think you took his meme out of context, brother

You're not wrong with your science, I actually responded to a grower on FB about this same topic the other day when he asks why his pH keeps changing in his reservoir.

Concerning the pH, this is what's known as "pH drift," and it can happen relatively quickly!

When CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which slightly lowers the pH.

As temperatures rises in your reservoir, bucket, etc, the water releases CO2 (like when a bottle of soda goes flat, the carbonic acid concentration decreases, which slowly increases the pH in the reservoir.

If you're using RO water, you're likely to see a larger swing in pH depending on what you're putting back into the water. In regular water, minerals like bicarbonates act as buffers, preventing sudden changes in pH. Byproducts created by both beneficial and harmful microbes can also cause fluctuation in pH in water over time.

Since RO water filters out most minerals and has little to no buffers, pH is more likely to fluctuate when nutrients are added.
