ahhahaaa, same here! on another db.


hugs!


and I did miss what rusty said about h2o2... if you have a link I'd appreciate it. I might just learn something

[headshake]

i can't seem to locate the post at the moment, but it was something to the effect that too much h202 is bad for the aerobic bacteria that it normally helps.

sorry i can't find it. i'll keep my eyes peeled.

Not quoting, but if memory serves me right, H202 is bad in "organics", or any medium where you are using beneficial bacteria (hopefully all mediums). h2o2 is just h20 with an extra unstable oxygen molecule that attaches itself to bacteria and fungi, essentially killing it. If your roots are healthy, there should be bacteria and fungi that are NECESSARY for maintaining root health. If you kill them all off, your plant will suffer for it.

Plus, if you are using organics (especially TLO), you can literally wipe out everything you were trying to establish in your growing media. Organics is by all accounts "living" soil.

not to argue, but from what i've read it is beneficial to aerorobic bacteria (good bacteria) as it supplies food to it if i remember correctly. it kills the anaerobic bacteria (bad bacteria) and the radical oxygen atoms oxydizes elements making them more available for the roots to take in.

Rusty I know that you prefer to give long winded answer's to make people think your slick,I Like to keep thing's simple.
Dive:stoned:

Keeping it simple enough to be accurate would suffice, and as far as my long-winded answers...feel free not to read 'em. Do you feel threatened by having someone that tries to explain in detail, the answer and reasoning behind the answer? C'mon...stick your neck out there once in a while. Let's see some troubleshooting skills, slick. :thumbsup:

My goal is not to look cool, be most popular, or pretend to know what the fuck I'm talking about, if I don't. (unlike some posters who decide to throw-out hit-n-miss responses, regardless of validity)

Whatever. Kids will be kids, I guess. :jointsmile:

i appreciate all of the explinations rusty, lord knows i need them!

quick question for you, i'm looking at pH test kits locall y. this one is at petco. it's a little confusing. it says "....for pH level from six." but then in the description it says 0-7. i've included the link and would appreciate any feedback before i go buy one.

most i see are for a very specific range.

thanks again!

cool. thanks dive. my wife picked me up some test strips while she was out today. they test from 6.0-9.0 or something. i'm not quite sure how to use them.

i haven't read the directions yet though. i know you dip it in the water and match the color.

do i need to test my tap pH? the mixed nutes pH? and what exactly is runoff pH? is that when i check the water/food that comes out the bottom of the container when watering/feeding?

thanks for the help. i know they are some stupid questions. i'll be off reading up on it.
