Today I discovered that one of my favorite fertilizers chunked up on me. (insert alias joke here)
Had Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro outside in a squeeze bottle and heard rattling when I was holding it.
WTF?
So I brought it inside and dumped it into a white yogurt container. Looked fine at first, but I knew better. Poured off most of the liquid and saw chunks.

WTF X 2 :shock:
Hmm... maybe it got hot, right?
I checked the bottle that was indoors and it has the same problem. Again, it's not easy to see when looking in the bottle. Had to tilt it so chunks were all on one side, the flip it over and watch the chunks fall.

I am *not* happy about this. Hell I've recommended this stuff to other people!

@whitebb2727 @homebrewer -- have you guys seen this?

Yeah it does this all the time.

If you read the label on the bottles it tells you the remedy. Stick em in hot water.

Imo dyna can't be fucked with. It was @homebrewer thread that got me on dyna gro around 7 years ago. Worked with his ratios and tweaked them slightly over the years.

So, wherever you are... thanks home brewer. You the man.

That is why I went back to Gen Hydro from Dyna Gro. My Foliage Pro didn't precipitate but I could not buy their Bloom that had not already precipitated. I gave up on them.

I tried heat, @cannabineer tried heat, it did not go back into solution for me or him. But I loved using it prior to that.

I do.

All. The. Time.

I keep it written down in my wallet to give to people. I've given it out at least 3 times this week. I've only personally called and complained about her myself 5 or 6 times now too, so it's not as if they're oblivious to the problem, I think they just don't care.

That's ok just keep giving them the number.

Occasionally we have an older guy run the loader at the pit. He's been there so long he made friends with some of the wildlife.
The crows will sit on the loader with him at coffee/lunch break. He can walk up and feed many of the deer too.

Well, he also had this fox that would hop right up on the side of the loader and he'd share his lunch with him. This little guy has been hanging around the pit for ages and they'd become old friends.

Some time yesterday or last night someone shot that fox. Mr Tang found him this morning full of bird shots.

The old guy that runs the loader is absolutely beside himself. He's widowed, doesn't work much, is pretty much alone. That little fox was his buddy. :sad:

Lots people target practice at a many of the gravel pits here and its never been a prob. No equip shot up or fucked with and aside from a few empty beer cans most pick up after themselves. But, sooner or later there always seem to be that one asshole.

Sooo, my accomplishment today (other than to work through some seething anger) will be to make the old guy a couple strawberry pies.

Sigh I hate people sometimes. That's how I got started rescuing ravens. Assholes shoot them and the wildlife/animal control people euthanize them. So my vet and I illegally rescue them. I will probably never go down on my grow (all state legal) but you'll probably see me in handcuffs for rescuing ravens.

I had a minor panic attack today, I looked in one of my clone domes for the first time in a week and I found what looked like an infestation of....... young thrips



However they have no wings and are pretty much only on a beautiful fall colored rusty copper dead leaf, there are a lot of them but isolated.

Previous to taking the lid off spied this copper leaves though the dome I didn't remove it because one there are 2 of them and I am first and foremost as lazy as possible, and second they are just so pretty and I have never seen the Hempstar go that color before.

Taking off the lid today I first panicked , then removed the offending tray from the grow room. Then had a closer look at these "Thrips"

they are fatish and creamy clear but cigar shaped. THEY LACK WINGS

These are my old friends the SPRINGTAILS , just popping by in a wet rooting environment just to say hi and that maybe I should get on top of this rotting leaf.

At least this is my working Hypothesis right now.

We are stepping down from Def con 5 to Def con 4

the nuclear devices have been accounted for and checked and are ready to go , just in case

I was wondering how I missed that on the label. Mine just says to dilute it with hot water if it freezes.

Same. The side by side comparison runs he did convinced me to give it a try.

FP and Protekt was fool proof and if I ever go back to DTW that's what I'll use.

I haven't seen homebrewer around in quite awhile

Yeah those side by side runs were something else huh? I loved reading through those threads.

I remember his ak47 run and the dyna gro was heads above the rest

Hmmm then I'm missing something else. Lol. I have orange and "bulls penis blood"

Edit: I have micro and bloom. Assuming I'm missing "grow"? Lol
Click to expand...
The orange is Bloom and the pale green is the Grow formula. What I find fascinating about GH 3-part is that most of the N is in the Micro.

GH Cali-Magic completes the set, and Annie has made that combo work in tap water from 40 to 300+ ppm ...
