    Climate in the 21st Century

    As long as we let big corporations drown our political system in money, we're going to continue to fall behind, because entrenched business always has more money than the innovators. The fossil fuel industry would like nothing more than to kill renewables, by any means necessary. As long as...

    Songs that make you think about stuff.

    Funny how that works, eh?

    Climate in the 21st Century

    That's where the hurricane strength comes from. Fortunately, wind shear is the limiting factor for hurricane formation and that's not going anywhere.

    There's increasingly serious discussion about creating a Category 6, with wind speeds of 196mph or greater. You HAD TO ask... https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/category-6-hurricane-saffir-simpson-wind-scale?origin=serp_auto

    Climate in the 21st Century

    Had an interesting Reddit chat with a meteorologist about hurricanes today; he said there's a growing consensus that while hurricanes are not necessarily going to be more numerous as climate changes, they will carry and dump more water, on average they'll be more powerful with greater storm...

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    This was my suspicion. In a deep water environment, there really isn't any place for beneficial microbes or fungi to live.

    The way you describe it, KNF would be an excellent organic fertilizer to be used in soil.

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    I'll need to hear more about KNF? I don't use organic fertilizer; it's all minerals; nutrient double salts like calcium nitrate, mono potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, etc. The moment one adds organic nutrients to RDWC, that's Recirculating Deep Water Culture, it immediately becomes a...

    Coffee

    Gotta get fresh beans. I get mine at the grocery store where there's enough turnover to keep them fresh.

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    The good thing about hydro gardens was that their mix was pretty straightforward; you used the mix, calcium nitrate, Epsom salt and maybe a bit of MKP at certain points during bloom. No fighting with micro nutrients. The issue with organic powdered nutes is that they're not fully soluble...

    Climate in the 21st Century

    I respect your opinion. I also think the current administration is playing a highly duplicitous game by telling the world America "doesn't like" the genocide while simultaneously arming and funding the preparator. Joe Biden has proudly shouted,"I'm a proud ZIONIST!" into a microphone and this...

    Buy another 100W light or upgrade to a 350 or 400 LED?

    I'd recommend getting a bigger light, but make sure it's a high quality unit.

    Should i switch to HPS?

    Insulation is the grower's friend; it's much more reliable and energy efficient than burning a hot, inefficient light with shitty spectrum.

    Should i switch to HPS?

    Right. It goes up the flue.

    Should i switch to HPS?

    This would be the case if the exhaust stayed in the space but of course it doesn't most of the time.

    Climate in the 21st Century

    I see the problems as you've laid them out here. I also see reason for hope. One big positive sign is the exponential growth of renewable energy generation year over year, with the trend showing no signs of slowing. Solar and wind power, the growing adoption of EVs and the exponentially...

    Climate in the 21st Century

    I think I posted an article from Newsweek in this thread last night that suggested Jill Stein voters are not merely frustrated Democrats. So the assumption that Green Party voters hurt the Dems may not be correct. Also, I live in safely Blue Colorado; I didn't see the Jill and Butch team...
