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

[Weezard]

I meant I've got some spare plants that were prolly gonna get culled that I can experiment with. I like the reflectix trick, though. Been doin' that with paper plates, per an earlier discussion between you and Stinky, I think. :thumbsup:

Direct transplant sounds good. The direct approach.

The hydro store guy seemed to think Fox Farm nutes would be fine; he didn't try to sell me something different, which is unusual for him. I've got Fox Farm nutes for soil, though--not hydro. Don't know if that even registered with him. Couldn't remember what you'd recommended for nutes, so I just got the coco bricks. Expanded one brick already with plain non-nuted, non-ph'ed tap water. (Just slightly alkaline, proper nutes put it right.

That's funny, I should think he'd push the Canna line. It's made for coco.
I would not use FF, or any soil nutes, for coco.
The PH is wrong and you will be missing some trace elements usually found in soil.
Remember, coco has zip of it's own nute-wise,
It's sort of a solid hydro.
The plant will receive only what we supply.
I've been using "Dyna-gro" Liquid Bloom 3-12-6
and Dyna-gro liquid Grow 7-9-5.
Don't claim they are the best.
They are just the "devil I know"
It's what my Hydro shop stocks.

Quit testing it awhile back, PIA. Now need your advice on convenient pH and dissolved solids meters. (Hanna? Milwaukee?))

I added the wire handle. I dip out a sample and pour it into the Solids meter cup. Then take another dip and drop the PH probe in it.
The PH reading take a minute or so to stabilize so I check the dissolved solids while I wait.
Plan to buy 4 more of the cheap ($ 20) Aquarium monitors and having a real-time readout in each bucket.
Need more Eagle shit first.

Anyway, got at least one 8" plant that I would rather sacrifice in a fiendish experiment than straight-up execute. :buzz_saw: Thinkin' of offering a "FF Grow-Big for soil" kinda all-you-can-eat-buffet, with that as the only item. Jes' to see. Take it or leave it, you spoiled plant! :eat:

Jeez. Now IC's down.

And I'll move my KR pawn out to KR3.

Hmm. Lemme go see if our boards agree.

BRB,

Me.

Yup, same board.
Um, you prolly don't want to do dat.
Iff'n ya does, I'll steal your knight and lean on your Rook.
Care to re-consider?

Weeze.
