Looks like a nice week coming up. The snow has melted, Weather will be warm, it's time to get ready for fishing. There are some trout streams not too far away. I have some new flies, getting away for a day sounds good. With the kids around, my personal time is moved back. It's 4:20...

Good morning OFC. We are well. Our daycare is starting up soon. With fragile immunities, the family unanimously decided that kids at daycare was too big a risk for bringing in disease so we are taking those duties over. Grand kids are coming at 8-9 to 5. Our kids can work remotely so that...

I bidet it goodbye. In Iowa, they are called cobs. Bye.

A number of people start out with Deep Water Culture. DWC has a relatively low cost start up and let's people get their feet wet on that and maybe stay with that. One trait to hydro is its immediate feedback. If you make an error, it can show up quickly, but a quick change of water and...

I have to remember to glove up before getting into the dank smelling plants. I like the smell but the sticky fingers not as much. And definitely not before going into public areas.

Good morning OFC I have some clean up in grow aisle one. Mildew got me, or I should say I got myself by not having decent ventilation in the seed cloner. I had better get a seed stock built up. I'll let the coeds play together. Life happens and I don't trust relying on clones without a...

Thanks. Done.

This is a first photo after 3 treatments for spider mites. I had nutes give indications of a singe and cut back to half strength. This is week 3 from WW seed.

Good morning OFC. Son in law can't work from home. Internet is too slow. He's coming over to work from our house. It should work better, as long as his issues are really because of slow internet. I have a seedling issue to sort out. The soil that I used for rooting had bugs. The seedling is...

Your crop is destroyed. Wait until the mildew looking stuff turns amber, then dispose of it in your favorite way. Personally, I burn them... one bowl at a time. Welcome and good job on your grow. They look good.

Good morning OFC. The ground is white. Second snow this spring. Today is our Red Star anniversary. In our first year, I kept track and celebrated our first date, our wedding, and our Red Star anniversary that was between the two and the date with added star on it. It added fun keeping track...

I just received a postponement of upcoming surgery. Without details, it's a regular check up thing that I won't mind postponing. Hospitals are getting ready. I will probably do more camping, not less. Just getting out and away clears my mind and focuses me to what's important. I can...

I'm in a low CV-19 place. We know what's coming so we are trying to learn more of the safe sanitation habits. It's the lull before the chips hit the ventilation appliance. Lockdown is coming in a week is my guess. We are already locked down in our house. I spent yesterday playing with doses...

Good morning OFC. The grandkids are home but not before leaving a cold with grammy. I said that she can't go out in public for a week or two without looks from others. I just was volunteered to be the local buyer for our house. Hope I don't catch this cold for a couple weeks. Today will be...

News you can use. There are people making their own masks and also donating them to people on the front lines of serving the ill. So what makes a good filter? This has fabrics tested for how good a job they do. Quick short answer is that dish towels or tea towels as my other calls them...

I have Hydroguard, but want to switch to EM1. When I get GH3 + CalMagic used up, I was going to switch to Botanicare. I assume that I was similarly wrong about Hydroguard as I was with EM1.

Good morning OFC I really misunderstood EM1. I thought that it was an inoculation of aerobic bacteria to overwhelm the anaerobic bacteria. Thank you for this.

Looks sweet. I'm getting a lens add-on for my camera. I will be posting some pics when it gets in. I'll log a public grow. Pictures generate a lot of feedback with community input.

Keef, I ran across 20ft of 1/4" od copper coil. I switched to a plastic line on my level control feed line to my reservoirs and it's non returnable. Would that do you any good?

I've had good luck with glue traps and peanut butter. I've also used 5 gallon buckets with water, string, a balance stick and peanut butter with good effects. Poison means that they crawl off, die and stink. Even without pets, I'm not a fan.
