Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St
The unchecked logging in the 90's really affected the water bad... Not that I was here, but they say the water here is some of the better water in the states. I guess that's what happens when you drink water from a river. Believe it or not SF has some great water. I lived most of my adult life around the Bay area well longer than anywhere else... Hetch Hetchy water is fantastic water.. Or was? Been awhile since I had to worry bout that. I did just check on my PPM off the tap 12. Here they did have a problem for abit,, with that parasite shit and were drawing off the wells, but they have it under control? I guess they had to draw that water for acouple months. Least we can hope that problem is gone. But that cryptosporidium shit is everywhere. Everywhere man and aimals live. As far as building on a lake bed? Hell, SF is built on a graveyard of wooden ships. And is some of the costest property in the States. No telling what they'll do with it. But I love it here myself. Best place?? Naw close, but it is a pretty relaxed city in my little area. Green for sure. That's the first thing I said after moving here. Hella green. I guess if I went looking,, trouble can be everywhere. But anyplace is what you make of it. But it's a step up from places like the deep east Oakland of South Cental LA in my eyes. Man did Oakland rocked and rolled back in the late 80's everywhere did with that crack shit. I think Oaktown was murder captial of the States for afew years. But there is nice places everywhere. Up Skyline Blv. in Oakland is beautiful.
All that talk of them parisites, Reminded me of when I use to go gold dredging, use to work on this river, Bear river in the Serrias. Been working this stretch of the river for years. The water was great, clear, white quartz cobble. We used if for everything, even drinking water But last time I went up, water was clear, but was a tad of algae here there.. Oh well,, 3 days later the trips to the shitter got a pretty common thing. 5 days man,, all 4 of us had dysentery. Found out later some town had been dumping abit upriver. Man wasn't much upriver left on that river. But started using a cool little spring for the rest of that one. I can't remember the last time I bought any drink. I know these are state run liquor stores here. They suck, reminds me of the Blue Laws back home. I can't tell how many times I went to go pick me up a jug and the damn stores were closed,,,at 7 pm. Oh well. my normal drink runs just under 50 a bottle of the Single Barrel Jack, or 30 for Makers Mark. I do know everyone from across the river, 'Washington' come for shit like smokes and gas because the state tax is cheaper. You don't pump your own gas here either.. No self service here. 2.50 a gallon. This is just if anyone wants to compare afew things...
Waitin4 yea we have a cover. We have to get a new one every 3 years or so. The one in the shed is shot this year. They are like bubble wrap and when they get old,, little round circles of plastic come off,, and that shit will kill your sand in the filter hella fast. We just redid the pool and concrete in the back,, I think it's more that I keep the water about 89-90 degrees.. Maybe? But it's all good,,, if it was a problem or costy I'd have gotten a new cover this year. Cheaper for me to pay the extra 5-10 bucks a month in water. We only get to use a pool like 3 months. And a cover runs acouple hundred bucks, I've thought about looking into a dome to cover it for all year use. I wonder if my insurance wood pay for it? Therapy? JK of course?
Now Con, sorry we highjacked your thread for a minute, but when you plan that next trip like said, start in Oregon and plan on at-least 6 months just to see the west coast. Oh and stop by for a drink,dubie, and a dip. Hope everything growing good for ya. Looking forward to seeing your girls swollen with buddage. I am like these fast versions for outside so far. I have this C-99xBB fast going,, she's been budding for alittle over a week now. She is going to have plenty of time to finish before Oct 1st. They are suppose to be photo plants,, but they breed auto into it speeding up the harvest date to mid Sept. Now if that weeds anygood GL and Keepem Green
