True, but who should need to know the average length of a juvenile male giraffe's neck is 5 meters in length, or that flamingos are pink only because of the shrimp they eat?? LOL

Tons of zoologists and lots of people interested cuz it’s posted at Busch gardens in front of the animals so they must be important.

A day during which you learn nothing, has been a wasted day!

One should never turn down the opportunity to gain knowledge and insight no matter the subject. Good or Bad LUCK ; is just opportunity meeting preparation, or lack thereof.

Without being too dramatic, I don't believe in "Luck" , or "God" for that matter... I wasn't always like that, however. I was once an ordained minister. I then went to Iraq. First 2 times I was blown up, I prayed... I prayed before and after the next 11 times as well... Good guys died while I lived. I've heard numerous times that I was saved for a reason,that I was "lucky". Luck, however should go both ways, not just bad. Sorry for getting religious or whatever, but you make your own "luck". I do agree that one should try to immerse themselves in knowledge. I do, and that's why I'm on here. I'm a new grower that doesn't (or didn't) know anything about growing tomatoes, much less cannabis. I appreciate the fact everyone here(even the newbies) have something relevant to add, and Don't tear people down. This is hands down the best online activity I've had the pleasure of coming across!

As a Marine I will simply say, agreed and Thank You.!

Hang in there brother, it gets better. Please don't be one of the 22; talk to someone. Love someone. Hug someone.

Peace

Thanks Devil Dog... I've been down the 22 route already and couldn't bring that to fruition either, so I've resigned myself to tending to my garden, smoking copious amounts of MJ, and ordering Everything offline so I don't have to put up with the ignorance infestation in social settings. I appreciate your concern, however!

We have very similar views. I was never in the military. I looked into it when I was 18. But being a dropout it was not an option and I had just started a family so going back to finish school was not an option. I am Canadian but I don't really see borders between Canada and the US as anything but a line on a map. I thank you for your service brother. Great buncha people on this site. Hard to find that these days, the world has definitely changed.

you all talking about or first life,aint that the shit i was just wasting time watching you tube last night on todays new tooling and machine works,i spent 20 yrs in job shops as a manual machinist,gave it up in the 80's oil crunch,just moved on,but watching that stuff last night sure made me glad i moved on,damn a human is only needed to progam the machine and get its first good part ,and damn robots do the rest even ship the shit out the door,wow all i got to say.
on the other hand life is thrown at as in many difrent way,you 2 bro talking life in the real,you both survived ,call it karma luck or whatever,you made it because you were supose to and that reason is what you are now,a teacher to tell there are many lives and way lives can evolve in a society that just dont care,you are the foot on the ground of this world that shows there can be peace and good and bad,bullshit to both yall ,i apreciate what you did ,i didnt serve,but i did serve in helping you while you were there,in old days they just drafted to fill those spots for your suport,i voluntered for both you guys and no way can you ever tell me i wasted my time ,i was there with just a pocket knife,hurts my heart to hear some of the things you feel because you say it from the heart,shit buck up and hammer down when them idiots do there thang sit back and watch tv cause all they are is hollywood and another idiot show to watch.
did your and stand proud just as you were trained to do,we need you in our society,good bad or ugly,we need you more than you think

Ok we have all 6. Up and ready to plop them in the system probably tomorrow. 1 has a tap root out the bottom. Usually wait a bit longer to put them in but these pellets are much smaller than what I usually use.

System is filled and leak tested and everything thing is ready to go

Temps are 80f
Humidity 80% (will be dropping to 70% once I put em in the system)
They are at 10k lux today up from 5k

Now which 4 do we pick? Lol

Haha yeah in my soil grow same thing... It's almost like the roots push en up out of the soil. I love them for my hydro but in soil I think the solo cup might be the better way to go.

In hydro I run a live system so that small amount of soil I feel helps aid microbial life right around the root zone that does not end up in the water. I know the bacteria in hydrogaurd reproduce well in dark moist environments with high oxygen levels but do not reproduce well in a solution. That's why the same bacteria are added to soil once yet in hydro it needs to be continually. So that's my thought process on why I use em. Small benefits I feel.

Your welcome to 2 bro lol. Pick up only hahaha. The key to success on poppin beans IME is one word. It's a word most woman hate lol.... MOIST... That's it. I soak 16-18 hrs in distilled. From then on moist only, never wet, never dry. If you can see water at all in your paper tower it's to wet. They also like to be warm that's important.
