I think its the seed batch, i use the same methods/medium for all of them and this is the first time, I have only had white blotch from boxelder bugs taking a sample or maybe they defecated,urinated or whatever on a leaf here and there and when they bite it you know it,but never that small and all in the center,but if you look at third one up on the right by the unaffected one it does look like it starting to come out of it

Anyone thought of using the water from there sump pump? I live across the street from a lake and my basement sump runs every 2-3min it’s water table water so wondered about trying that?

My tap water is 650ppm

I'm with ya buddy, mine is always above 800ppm, I think it's mostly due to rust coming from my driven well pipe. The plants never need any extra Iron.

Its not so good up here unless in BC imo some out est very few in central Canada. Genetics is always a challenge up here as there are many many growers but not near enough breeders.

Dont kid yourself with us nucks…. We aint got shit on place like cali michigan and the likes down there. We are just generally polite ppl lol.. yup thats still our claim to fame here

Second week of july is the plan bro… I designed an aeroponic system that ill be using… spider farmer was kind enough to sponsor me with a light and @Moe.Red has been kind enough to give a brother a hand on the system and testing/validating results. Should haul some serious ass though and the one part that scares me is the nutrients because if i get the growth rates im very much expecting thats going to be a challenge to dial in lol

right,i still refuse the back surgery, heck im gonna start charging them for parts, dang i swear you work your butt off to retire ,your whole life working ,saving and all the norm stuff, then once you retire you spend all your money on staying alive.
then to top it off ,the second opinion on mama biopsy was stage 4 so we working at getting chemo setup now, sucks bro
the saying over the hill means you going down hill not having any fun at it , about like getting pumped up to go fishing and then getting skunked
bright side is the lord gave me and her another beautiful day to enjoy and thats all you can ask for in a day,the rest of the day s what you yourself make of it

You ever see cops where they use the spike strips? That was my life always a hundred miles an hr hitting atrip after strip… many of roll overs but somehow im still here to serve a purpose… now just to figure out what it is lol.

I think its safe to say and the most accurate analogy that i have lived the life of a crash test dummy up until this point… now lets hope the duct tape holds
