Found iron bacteria in the well a while back, finally got around to shocking it yesterday
Its not harmful but it makes a mess of everything.

Coincidentally the pressure switch stuck at the same time.

So i chased my tail for a bunch of hours in the rain but finally got pressure
And purged the initial chlorine.

Next week get a full water test.

If it checks out my wife said i can use our 50gpd ro system for my plants..

That bacteria does plug up the cut end of clones in the sprayer type cloning systems if you dont kill it.

If you're doing one of those home depot tests get two. Send in some water from a bottle and see if it comes back clean before you take their word for it

They're probably turning it into oil.
That's what I'm gonna start doing!
I used to get 2000/lb for bubble all day long over there up until around 2010. The market for bubble just shut down.

I'm gonna go on this hike to clear my head, and start doing some real work on getting myself growing for the first time in almost 15 months.

Longest hiatus from growing since I began.



If anyone wants to yell at me about that, I encourage it....15 months....wtf

So here is the funny part of my well story.
I`m ready to come clean. lol

So my well is 500 feet out in the woods.
The well is 300 feet deep.

I already told you guys I shocked the well for iron bacteria and When I went to fire back up
the pressure switch stuck. Eventually I figured that out and all was, well?

Before I figured it out though I cracked the valve and heard the suction sound
of my prime being lost. Long story short the wife and I spent several hours carrying water jugs
down a wet, muddy overgrown trail then repeatedly trying to prime the pump. 6 in pipe 300ft deep
no idea what depth the water actually comes in. No go...

What I now know is you do not prime deep wells, The pump is already underwater.

In theory it all made sense but in reality we are complete idiots.
Anyway sometimes you just gotta lol at yourself
Cold, wet, muddy
