Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

[Weezard]

Hey! I never moved! (Not that I had any good options, but still...)

Just to end this suspense I'll move K - KR3.

Your move

Then I do: P - Kkn4

Your move.....:jointsmile:

I decline your trade and substitute an alternate reality.

Hey, wait a minute,
K -KR3?!
Don't you have a pawn dere?

[Weezard]

Glad to hear it, actually. Seems like that GH line was quite expensive. I think my local has Dyna, if not, I'll order it up quick.

Got 2 pairs of matched clones (sat / ind) in 1 gal. pots that need transplanted like, yesterday. Think I'll do one each in coco vs. soil, using the technique you described to transplant to the coco in 3 gal. pots, do 3 gal. soil also for control group.

Just for idiot-proofing, ha, ha:

No stones, etc. for drainage in the bottom of the pot, right? All coco?

I didn't use drainage stones, but perhaps I should have.
Had a soggybottom problem with the last girl.

How much runoff do you water for? I assume we've got a salts buildup potential. It would make sense to me to water to ~15% runoff with plain, non-pH'ed water, then follow with pH'ed and nuted (if scheduled) water. Kind of a mini-flush with each watering. (?)

That depends on the size of the pot for me.
When they are in 4" pots, I flush with 20% runoff because I can "heft" the excess water out by playing toss the baby over the sink.
In large pots, I try to water "just enough," Never dry, and little or no run-off

Weezard, some of the pointers you're giving me are for DWC, which is next run. Gotta clone 'em up wit clean feets for dat. Dunno if what you're telling me is for coco, too.

Yes, treat coco like hydro including PH.
No need clean feets, though.
I stuff netpots with coco instead of rockwool or hydrotron.
Then nest the netpot inside a plastic pot to keep it from drying out and when it's big enough, Ipoke some strings through the bottom of the netpot to wick up nutes until the roots hit the water.
So, I've cloned directly into coco, Ive germed in coco and I bolt the coco filled netpots to the bottom of a 5g. bucket lid that has a 1" hole in the middle for the plant to grow through.
(1/2" was too small.):thumbsup:

So I should shoot for 600ppm on the new nutrient solution? (Going into coco.)

(Water here seems to be pH 7.5 -7.6.) I just made a cup of coco soup with that water and the pH dropped to 6.1. Yoicks! I assume that response'll cool off after a few waterings. Plants prolly like it. What's "good" pH for coco?

Ignore the reading right out of the tap.
There's usually not enough dissolved solids for a meaningful reading.
Throw one tsp. per gallon of Dyna in the water then aerate by your favorite method, then read the PH and adjust with Phosphoric acid as needed to hydro range. 5.2 - 6.4

Sorry for all the questions. I seriously tried to research this at IC and learned only that lotsa dem jokers can't agree 'bout nuttin'. Nobody offered any supporting data for anything--well, you've been in a coupla those kine conversations yourself, of late. Dunno how kids can get so superstitious at such a tender age.

Had a little fun.
Just as the flames were dying ovah dere, I took pictures at 12" and 24" from my lensed array that only drops to 38% with a doubling. Makes ISL look wrong.
Posted them and split.
Threw a little gas on the fire.
Ain't I a stinker?
Hell, keeps 'em off the streets, yah?

PS. sent you coupla emails. One bout mouser. Got some PLN drivers for 20% off (the ones I just bought :wtf and they got a hunnert 661 x 15's. :thumbsup:

Not any more, they are in stock and moving.

Now let's see if it eats the whole post again.

Dis from a few moves back, but nobody's walked the Chihuahuas.

Thanks for that info. Gives me the confidence to :weedpoke:

Got the TDS meter. Well water is ~705, it's highly saline due to salt water intrusion into the aquifers here. Has not been a problem with either strain of genetics I am currently running.

Actually, had an RO system but didn't have enough water pressure to make it work right. And although it removed everything beneficial, didn't have much effect on NaCl.

This'll be fun, though. I just needed a starting point. I think I'll be able to tell what the plant's doing and adjust as I go. And I've got a soil rootball as a small buffer.

Thanks again, DH :thumbsup::greenthumb:

R - Q2

That, or sacrifice a piece.

I'm probably overthinking these moves, looking for solutions that just aren't there.

Over, or under, not sure which.
On my board that would lose a pawn to my knight and threaten the rook again.
I do have a dog and a cat so...

Weeze

[DreadedHermie]

Well, I'm offering a pawn, which you can take with knight or pawn. I don't see the immediate threat to the rook. (Board still looks like diagram above in this quadrant.)

[Weezard]

Oh dear!
There's been lot's of moves since then!
I'm completely lost.
How about we use your last diagram, "this quadrant" and switch sides?

I'll try to recover from your position and you try to take advantage of mine.


That may well be instructive to both of us.:thumbsup:
(At the least, you get to win dis one and will be encouraged to keep playing, yah)?

I, honestly, "no kea!" 'bout winwinwin.:hippy:

Lizard brain no run t'ings 'roun' here.
Ego and superego been dead fo' years.
I seem to operate out of "rational child" mode.
since the coma.

Whattaya say?
Wee zard

[DreadedHermie]

Whatever.

I got my board protected and was careful keeping track, (although I do miscall coordinates, pieces, etc. :stoned::stoned::stoned.

I can diagram what I'm pretty sure is right, and keep playing my side if it looks close to what you've got.

Or putta photo up. Either way, whatever interests you. I'm here to learn.
