Several counties and cities just raised the gas taxes here in Oregon by a dime a gallon. They also just passed a new car state sales tax, to add to the list of growing state sales taxes on motel/hotel rooms, gasoline, booze, and weed. Minimum wages are going sky high, and so is local inflation on goods and services as a result. There are also high business taxes here, and income taxes here are higher at the lower income levels than in California. Southern and Eastern Oregon get really hot in summer. So you have the coast, which is insanely expensive, and often times fogged in in summer. You also have the Cascade foothills, but there is not that much real estate for sale in this region. We have strong anti-development laws here, and outside the green line, you cannot build on empty lots, or subdivide and develop like you can in WA and CA. Which leaves the Willamette/Tualatin Valley areas to the east slopes of the coast ranges. In that area, the PDX metro area is getting priced out of control now. It is like the SF Bay Area was in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Housing is doubling or trebling in value and rents are soaring. So that leaves slim pickings. All along the east slopes of the coast range, well water is hit and miss. Mostly miss from all the real estate there that I looked at. The west slopes of the Cascades have better wells and more water, but the weather is a bitch in winter here. BTW, flooding is common all over this state, especially west of the Cascades. And there is the Cascadia fault line... which runs from Vancouver Island all the way down to Point Arena in California. When that goes off Oregon is simply toast. Most bridges in this state will certainly fail. California and Washington are way better prepared for that than Oregon is. The entire Oregon coast is apt to be erased by shock and tidal waves. And then there are the lovely Cascade peaks, which many also happen to be ACTIVE STRATO VOLCANOES, like Mt St Helens. I was here when she blew in 1980. And did I mention all this Hellish greenery that we have? Bring a goat or two. I feed my hellish greenery to the goats and sheep next door here. Or burn it in the stove in winter.

Drive by... Had to ask who told ya Bull Run water was costy? My water bill is only 40 a month... And man do I go thru water................. I can't even count the gallons we are going to use this week or every week for that matter... Them 100 plus days will evaporate 5-6 inches of the pool. I'll run the garden hose in the pool for close to an hour a day. I'll have to see later this week with them temps. how much it takes. Not counting the water I use on plants, lawn, and regular pool maintaince vacuming and back flushing on the back 40. It was around 35-40 bucks last time we refilled the pool. Another great thing is the water quaility. Last PPM I checked on tap was under 20. Good drinking water, but bad thing,, no calicium.. Now I'd hate to live a mile or two west of here, I'm in Gresham District, there is Portland City water.... Abit more costy there!!!! But it sure is going to be HOT..... I'll have to use survial lights in the flower room more than likely.
Hope all going well over there my friend.. Them UD's are loving life. I'm going to have to get them ready for this extra heat we got coming. It is going to get hot,, and ever since I broke my neck,, I don't do hot well.. So I'm guilty of running the A/C more than I should.. But I kind of like to be confrotable in my older age..... JK kind of.

You are in the vast minority of cheaper water rates in the Bull Run water district. I know people in east PDX that pay $120+ a month for water in summer. TV Water District water rates were also higher than you are paying when I left there 7 years ago. Which seems odd. Also your water is not always as pristine as you think. Whenever the Bull Run River runs cloudy from runoff, which is a lot of the year, they shut off the flow from there and tap into wells along the Colombia River. So you get Hanford runoff then. Got Nukes? I know this because I know several of the water engineers at the Bull Run water facilities at Dodge Park and in Bull Run. Or what is left of Bull Run. Used to be a town there, and a trolley line from downtown PDX running through Dodge Park to the old power plant below what was once Roslyn Lake. That 240 acre lake area is now for sale, but you cannot build on it. Oops, it is now actually pending sale for $1.4 million clams. I wonder what they are going to do with a dry lake bed overgrown with cottonwoods? Maybe a pot farm?

And... there is the specter hanging over you of rate hikes from the US mandated treatment plant for Bull Run water now. Your water tests have failed for cryptosystem too many times, and so the variance not requiring Bull Run water treatment has been revoked by the US government. So you will have more expensive treated water... coming to your tap soon. Actually from February through May this year your water has been from the Colombia wells due to cryptosporidium levels found in BR drinking water.

I really do not care one way or the other. The flood of people coming here is insane. One more family would make no difference. PDX traffic is now WORSE than it ever was on SoCal and NorCal. Its a parking lot, morning, noon and night now. I have actually lived all over CA and OR, and IMO you are better off in the Sierra than in the Cascades. Just my opinion, but the grass is always greener I guess? Maybe we can swap properties? I love HangTown, Auburn, Tahoe, Sonora, etc. etc. Taxes, heat and all. I would move back to Sonoma Co. in a heartbeat. Actually I have property there, and if/when my mother dies, I may well sell this place and move back there. I can build on that property there. I cannot here.
 
Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Oh and I forgot, booze is 2x the $ here than it is in CA. I always stock up on vodka on my way north from California at the border there between Ashland and Yreka where there is a huge liquor store.

Sorry Conrad, back to your high brix grow thread...
 
Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

there used to be a liquor store right near ship ashore called first chance coming into ca. and last chance going out!lol
 
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
 
Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Well that was a lot to chew on I'm telling you. In 24 hrs I found out about all West Coast's water, heat, enviroment and real estate problems... it sure sounds like you have to deal with a lot of shit. I still remember water in Cali, now that was a real trauma, bottled or tap everything tasted like crap :) After few days we finally settled on some Fiji imported brand that was good enough to drink :) There's no comparison with Italian situation, here quality mineral water is abundant in the shops and cheap and drought we're getting through now doesn't affect my daily situation. Now if you're in the south that's totally different, especially in the islands where all water is transported from the continent and mafia made sure to have it under their control. But all in all we don't suffer from heavily contaminated water sources, EU norms are very rigorous in that regard... but then I cannot grow weed as openly as I'd like, they just fucked us again by stopping legalisation bill again. Well what are you gonna do? BTW my Bubba Hash seems to be the fastest plant I've ever grown, 3 weeks and amber is popping up everywhere. I just woke up and looked at the plant and sugar leaves had unusual orange tint. All trichomes went amber overnight! She's still packing, but amber trichs are showing up on calyxes too. Too fast, man!
 
Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

3 weeks in and bubba is amber?? Wow! Mine went 9 weeks and I had a few amber on the sugar leaves. I decided to smoke some last night. It has been curing for weeks now, man is that some fine tasting herb! The strong taste is fantastic. I think that is my favorite indica I've tried. Not that I've had too many but I sure do love that stuff. Got any pics??
 
Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

As soon as I read Neiko's post I went to check on my plants and that's what I found.

I burnt her to a crip basically. Yesterday I applied my own piss diluted 3:1, it was just slightly stronger concentration that I tried in the past (good practice is no less than 7:1) and I didn't see any problems straight away, but exactly 28 hrs later she uptook most of it, which together with high soil/tissue temperature today (around 105F) caused a disaster. You can see amber trichomes clearly though if you open the pics in new tab and zoom them in a bit. Anyway do you think she looks ready? She should recuperate in couple of days :laugh:

It's actually funny, cause I never burnt a plant in my life and I only used organic solution here. I guess following breeder's guidelines I took "we advise medium to high nutrient levels throughout the grow" too literally :laugh: Good news is she climbed to 19 Brix yesterday, bad news is I don't have a clue how it's gonna affect my smoke... but it was worth it, cause finally my bud looks like all these indoor ones around :laugh:

And here's young Dutch Kush from Paradise Seeds

Sold my house in Bend for a insane amount of money. During the sale the purchasers bank nearly balked at the loan due to the insane price. We took the money and moved to a midwest state put half down on a 60's ranch and my wife could afford to retire. Californication is real and happening to the whole West coast and inland empire.
I feel for you Bro.
