So I'm running into my first issue thus far.
As I've stated before we just moved here in June.

We have a dug well and all of a sudden our water is really dirty looking. Probably due to the fact that we have been pulling so much water through it. Just about 2 weeks ago I finally got our hot water hooked up, so our water demand has probably doubled. (We don't drink it)

So I went up and checked the well. The well is full but seems like we are pulling in some run off water. (Possibly, don't know what else would be causing this) My PPM meter is saying its 70, though it looks more like 1,000.

Is this safe to be feeding my plants with ?

I'd be contacting the people that drilled the well. Do you have a filter on the well?

It's a dug well. No filter. Bought the place through a foreclosure auction as is.

I have an excavator and can go up and divert the washout the run off is running through around my well. Or dig it up and fix it completely. Just a bad time for it to happen, trying to get the greenhouse closed in.

Just wasn't sure if run off water would be bad for my plants. Seems the normal vegetation doesn't mind it.
I could always through my pallet tank in a buddy's truck and go fill it I suppose.

I would probably use it unless you have some other reason to think the water is bad....I mean plants live in dirt, a little muddy water shouldn't be a big issue..

This is what I was thinking.

As for my pipes and water heater. The house was built in 2004 and the pipes are PEX and the hot water tank can be drained. The water has been sitting in my pallet tank for 2 days and nothing has fallen out of suspension.

There will be time for fixing wells and plumbing when the grows all done..!!

Here is my outdoor crop.
3 San Fernando Valley og clones that flowered and revegged and one king louis from seed that I got off a hermied clone last year. Pink haired buds are on the king louis plant and the frosty nugs are from the San Fernando clones :)

hello everybody. I've enjoyed looking at all of your pictures and thought i'd include a few of my own. This is my first time outdoors and i think the ladies are maturing nicely. They're about 4 weeks into flower, i think.

Let me know what you think. Do they look about right for their age? Do you guys see anything I should address? Thanks in advance for any help. RIU has proven helpful these past few months, already, and i'm super grateful to all of you.

They're both Headband clones in 15 gallon fabric pots with mostly TGA super soil (a few gallons of roots organics a piece to top off pots). One has not been pruned at all, while the other had the bottom 4 branches lopped off just prior to flower (wanted to see for myself the difference in yield/bud distribution). They get about 8 hours of direct sun light everyday and I rotate the pots 120 degrees daily to spread the light around. And I'm in the Pac NW.

Thanks and I look forward to perusing all of your pictures as harvest time nears.

Pics: Both the ladies; top cola; side bud; side cola; side bud; frosty interior bud (right next to main stalk); top bud; and two lower chlorotic fan leaves (I assume there's no big worry here, right?)

Seedlings are doing good.. Over all seedlings view then, Jillanje last pic. is blue dream x with unknown male I for got how different seedlings are from clones. you really have to watch too not over water or let them dry out too much. The Blue dream cross you can really see the sativa narrow leaf even this young.. in the over all view you can see the two Mulanje and Malawi seedlings because they have very weird distorted leaves, will see if they grow out of it? These are growing out side in full sun and then after sun down I put a light on them till about 10-10:30pm.
