pulled some Bhut Jolokias from my outdoor plant this morn

looks like they would go great on a omelet!

hahahhah I dont know about that
but on a side note
I also grow what are called Rocoto peppers
they are fom the Andes mountains...literally my friend gave me them...she took them from there when she lasted visited....she is from Peru
anyways
I am gonna cut them in half....stuff the cavity with cream cheese and wrap in a piece of bacon and roast/bake @ 425 until bacon is done....once cooled can be left out and served room temp

That sounds good as hell. You making me hungry!

Well fellers ima hop off here and head to the head shop for some butane. Time to blast off...

 

[EventHorizan]

Why hasn't anybody designed a injector mixer, that continually regulates the nutrient strength in a res, with digital readouts , and configurations for nute concentrations. Just seems like it would make plant life as optimal as possible.

Later bro! Ya I got work at 1. I need to hop off here and in the shower too here real quick.

they have.....its like ......alot of money
but if you ever make your way to Nevada and get to check out any of the grow facilities you will see it there
along with a million sensors for everything you can think of
all on a commercial level
that stuff has been used for years in hydro commercial veggie industry
you make a huge batch of base and the meters read the ppm and always keep it at a constant by micro dosing the final nutrient tank....as well as topping off with water through a float valve system so everything stays a constant

 

[Wisher619]

on a side note....they also use enzymes to break down the salts and plant excrement into usable nutrients so the system just keeps going with no flushing necessary....well periodic but not like us home gardeners

 

[EventHorizan]

Very cool! I will have to read about it.

 

[EventHorizan]

Well I replaced the water in the res.
ro water=41 ppm
added 15ml calmag=130 ppm
added 45 ml micro=315 ppm
added 70ml bloom=450 ppm
added 10ml kool bloom=462 ppm
added 20ml of hydrogaurd
added 3 ml of ph down
ended with 462ppm/5.9ph

I would of thought that my ppm would of been higher.

Yep very expensive! But they are cool as hell! I like them! But 1500 could buy a lot of other things. Like a 6 bucket ebb and flow system with digital control bucket and 30 gallon res.

is that @ 75%?
seems low to me....there is no way that at 100% that it is only just barely above 500

 

[Wisher619]

well in any case....I would run that this week and then up it to 100% next week

Yep 75 percent.

Sounds good. I had some lower yellow leaves. Just a couple.

And not over 500,,, under 500 really because it was 462- 41(ro water ppm)=real ppm 421
And I just did a little test. I used tap water with a starting ppm of 330, I mixed up 75% strength in 1 gallon, and 100% strength in 1 gallon. 75% = 669-330(tap)=339 ppm/gallon, and 100% =772-330(tap)=442 ppm/gallon. And thats with the calmag added in!

that cant be right.....
if the ro plus 75% came to 421
100% shouldnt only be 442

 

[Wisher619]

100% has to come to 560
421/3=140+421=561

 

[Wisher619]

do you have calibration solution for your ppm meter
sounds off to me
or you are just tired and didnt put the right amounts in

I know. I am a lil baffled by that too.
