Yep, potroast popped me a note to let me know. I've apparently been appointed a neo-nazi myself, so WATCH YOUR ASS. xD

Can somebody tell me what is the approx. cost of Al's OP from nothing? Preferably in british pounds but it is not necessary. More answers is better. My calculation is 2000 pounds but mayby I missed something. Thanks.

* Chlorinated municipal tap water is fine for hydroponics. Fancy water filtration systems are completely unnecessary. Chlorine, in the amounts applied by muni water treatment plants, is completely harmless to plants and people. High TDS readings from 'hard' water are caused primarily by dissolved minerals like Ca and Mg, both of which are necessary micronutrients. Any water suitable for drinking is excellent for hydroponics. The only reason one would ever have to ever use expensive RO or filtration systems is if one is sourcing water from a local bore/well, where water may contain high levels of salinity or sulfur. In 25 years of growing dope, I've never once seen tapwater from a municipal system cause problems in a hydroponic grow op.

you forget about fluoride in the tap, which, according to the EPA (a bullshit agency who lied to 911 workers) if you handle you must wear hazmat suits because it is classified by them as a poison. that's a fact.

if anyone is wondering how to find out call your utility provider and ask them, check their website as well sometimes it's on there usually under water quality lol.

and depending on where you live, radiation. here in the pnw we are getting shat on by fukishima, tonns of radioactive iodine 131, some cesium.

filtered water is your best bet or buy a reverse osmosis filter. they really work and you can buy them online.

chlorine is actually really toxic to the plants and us, but im not sure if it sticks like fluoride. probably.

That's probably not too far off.

you forget about fluoride in the tap

Easy to do because fluoride in the amounts in muni tapwater is harmless to plants and highly beneficial to dental health. Same for the levels of chlorine in muni tapwater. Harmless to plants and humans- and the absence of it would create a public health hazard of the likes you see in the 3rd world

Take your tinfoil hatted batshit crazy nonsense elsewhere- because I don't have a nanosecond for it.

welcome back al b hope you stick around!!

Thanks. Will drop in as I can.

....alot of variables there. I'd say that's a good start.

EDIT: kiss-ass Hi Al!

 

[Al B. Fuct]

Heya, TF.

While I realise you had every good intention by posing that 'ass kiss' gif, I gotta tell ya, that one makes me a tick uncomfortable every time someone posts it in a note pointed at me.

I have never demanded respect (no one can, it can only be earned) and often feel the praise thrown at me on RIU can be a little over the top. I'm glad folks get some use out of my commentary on here, but I got news for ya, my shit still stinks.

Thats the Al we all know

Last i knew you were taking a job as webmaster or some shit,is that over now ?
Good to see ya back al

Hey al i got a question,you allways refer to peroxide in the 50% range,is this something you've found outside normal hydroponic manufacturers or am i just blind.

All ive ever been able to find is 30%,ive had a bunch of different shops check for me with no luck,whats the name brand of that shit.

 

[don2009]

kiss-asskiss-asskiss-assWe still love your shit Al! Is there any changes in your op? Im on my way to your full scale op thanks bro. You should make a book on that 2 wk harvest bro its a classic. Thanks for donating your time I personally appreciate you to the fullest. Good luck.

...what a humble lad....much respect. (punch in the arm)

Ok it is good to hear that. don2009 asked very good question. I am impatient to hear answer for that as well. What about legalizing money from OP? It is quite a lot of money annually. In my opinion it is necessary, isn't it? Do you have any ideas? Many many thanks for sharing info with us.

No, still doing it, but things have slowed down a bit.

Good to see you too, mang.

You can get 50% grade in Australia but I understand that stronger than 30% is limited access in the US. The claim is that 50% could be used to make the explosive TATP. I'm not into amateur bomb-making, so I don't know if the claim is exaggerated or not.

You wouldn't love my shit if you smelled it.

No changes in the op to speak of, other than replacing a dehumidifier that shat itself a few weeks ago. No functional changes.

I'd write a grow book but there's no financial motivation for me to do so. In the digital age, I'd sell one copy and it'd instantly go out on BitTorrent.

Thanks for the thanks.

Which question was that?

I can't really offer you much advice on money laundering, aside from dissipating income in cash- in small amounts. For example, I'd never go buy a new car with cash, though I could if I wanted to. The key is to draw as little attention to yourself as possible.

Hey Al do you still use floc? And at the grow shop they have this rockwool small square cubes similair to floc from the way you explain it. What do you think of that? And I use hydroton now, when I change to that how many times a day should I feed?

I use floc alone for the mother plants as they really need the water capacity and anchoring support for a well-developed plant. In between batches of cuttings, they can get really topheavy. Just before I do a pass of cuttings, they'll be close to a metre tall and sucking up 2-3L/day each. After cuttings, they're back down to about 200mm tall. Even though they're in floc, they get watered 2x/day at 12h intervals. Running under 24h light, they can use it all.

For the flowering plants, I pack about 25m of floc in the bottom of the pots and fill the rest with Fytocell. Floc generally holds too much water for the comparatively smaller flowering plants, which is the reason for the Fytocell. My flowering plants are only watered 1x/day for about 3 mins.

 

[hellraizer30]

were can fytocell be sold at? just never seen it before

 

[Al B. Fuct]

Fytocell is usually found at hydroponics shops. It's available rather widely in Australia, but if you're not in Aus, you'll have to check the web to see where it is sold in your area.

Hey Al,

What dehumidifier did you buy?

I left my "room" un-attended for 4 days and came to realise the Exhaust fans ducting had ripped and therefore i wasnt exhausting at all.
So my ceiling was covered in mildew.....( well is i guess/ as i havent cleaned it yet)
I have since fixed the exhaust but think i i'll need to get a dehumidifier.

I tried to "duplicate" your OP.
I have all the equipment.
BUT
I smoke to much pot and have a job that require 12-14 hours a day.......
SO i guess i will never be able to duplicate your op.

Im growing some trees at the moment ( been really Lazy )....
I will have some fresh grass soon.
All different strains that i havent tried before......

Main Point being : I think People UNDER ESTIMATE how much TIME is required for an OP your size or larger...

Hope you pop in when you can, TAKE CARE!

 

[hellraizer30]

Doesnt seem to be sold in the us from what ive seen still checking the net

 

[hellraizer30]

Ok is the reason you put the flock or grodan flock on the bottom to hold a bit more moisture, but do you also
Use it to stop loose fine particle from going back to the res and geting into your pumps?
