I started my first ever breeding experiment, I took a longs peak male and marionberry female and planted them out in the woods a few miles from my horuse. Hope I get sum seeds. Always killed my males but this guy was a stud,think it will be cool to see wat happens hopefully make a nice cross
Long peaks is one of my favorite strains any cross you make will be great !! Hope you get some seeds this year I crossed my long peaks blue with copper Chem !! We will see how that turns out

My tapwater comes out at 8.5 ph but leaving it for 24hrs drops it to 6.5 it also gets rid of excess fluoride and a few other nastys.honestly leave your water for 24 hrs then ph it,its much more accurate/stable.
everyone i know indoors leaves it,even after being adjusted it slowly climbs back up through the week.thats why hydro growers chek ph everyday....

Typically fluoride isnt used these days, but If you leave water out in an open container for a few hours, most of the chlorine will evaporate off (if chlorine is in fact used). This treatment will, however, do nothing for the fluoride... (it has brought it to attention that many municipalities have switched from chlorine to chloramine, an equally toxic chemical that will NOT evaporate out of water). Chloramine doesn't break down in UV like chlorine, and can last up to two weeks.

For 5 years I had 2 x 55 gallon drums filled with water with a pump and stones on both of them circulating 24-7. Last year I dumped all that shit, saved myself some time and a little juice. Didnt see a bit of difference with the plants. I liked the ease of being able to make a tea with that system, but I hardly even do that anymore. Long as you are providing what they need, they are happy, so I like Keep it Simple Stupid

I used to leave my water out too, but since it doesnt do shit, I dont do that anymore. Straight out the tap for the plants, it already has micronutrients and no matter how long left out to breathe there was no effect....just wasted my time and provided a place for mosquitos to bed up
My tap water molds if siting for 4 days
I quit doing hydro because my water is shit, and couldnt afford r/o system

I make my strong organic soil, and top dress occasionally during flower and just use my tap water straight from the faucet.
I use bottled water to cook my soil and when transplanting and thats it

So so true! I find that a lot in recipes. It sounds great, and then you go to make it and it doesn't turn out right. Like they wrote the recipe, but never actually made the item to see if it worked. Lolol
