enjoy some surfers 🏄‍♀️ n Bali and the sound of the waves





A former friend up here used to spend time in Bali, Bangkok., and Phuket.

I'd been interested in Bhutan lately.

I figure that any place that measures national well-being or success via a 'happiness quotient' for their Country, rather than a GDP, is probably my kinda' place.

Recommended yesterday to an aging member of the 1970's Hippie School in the Yukon that they hold the next reunion there, but I suspect it might be a bit too far for the average attendee to travel.

All I use is that at 1\2 tsp per gallon tap water every watering.
Comes out to a 3-3-3 roughly at that ratio.
Jans using additional additives which will bite her in the long run as the plants are gonna burn in the end.
Just the jacks and tap water nothing else.........ever.
I am getting a bit of tip burn on one plant(out of 7) using Jacks 20-20-20(I didn’t spring for the Professional due to the 5 lb minimum). I have been using every other watering. The burn maybe due to both strain and relatively ‘hot’ soil. Getting some really nice dark green leaves. It is undoubtedly the easiest nutes I have tried. Cheapest too. Flower, on a different forum, is loving it too. BTW-my houseplants are going crazy on the stuff too. I even fed a couple of 20+ year old Saguaro cacti I have. Again, I appreciate the advice on trying it out.

I would ditch the ro water........make it super simple like me.
😆
Our well-water ph here is pretty decent at about a 7, but the total hardness is about 390, so I've been in consideration of going back to the 50:50 mix of RO and well water I did years ago.

Though I've had a brand-new RO/DI system in the hallway closet for an embarrassing 6- 8 years now, I think.

It's on that somewhat embarrassing, 'One of these days' list.

Edit: My understanding is that ideal total hardness is around 150, so if I could be at about 180 to 190, I'd take that as a success.

But what about salami?
NOPE
But Im experienced Santa with demands FFS !
First ,met with a bottle of water and a straw
after, I sure A F should be going home with a bag with easily eaten foods ( Notice Plurals)
and cookies, not just cookies.
If my demands are not met then I engage in a carpet bomb ,one shot needed act of revenge.
I say to the kids Santa brought other toys you havent seen and your mom and dad will give them to you only if you were good ! Ask them!
They know Im serious as a fart at a kitchen table.

@SubGirl -- OMIGAWD, Wumman!! I thought I was the only nut in this area.

I have rocks from places I have been... Like a piece of Windsor Castle, one from the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, one from the tunnel at Colditz Castle, a piece of the Berlin Wall, Gibraltar, Biggin Hill (WWII base where Unca Irv flew his P-51), Pyramids (Egypt & Inca)... oh jeez, a lot of memories.
Nice to know there are more folks like myself, I think I was born with rocks in my hand, recently cursed out by my father in-law, 4 of us in his little kia coming from the outerbanks, we kept bottoming out now then, and he kept saying we must all gained weight, when got home, he beat us to the trunk and when he saw those rocks, he had a fit, I had to have a couple, I took all the blame, but some of them were my wifes and my brothe in-law, they didnt say a word, so usualy when Im guilty, I have to fess up, whats funny, I have CRS really bad, but I can damn near remember where most of my rocks came from! nice to know im not alone!

We are on a well and its as hard as water can be and still flow.
Kills a mechanical dishwasher within a year........every single one
Had to go back to the one I got when we first were married..........wife LOVES that joke btw.
😆
We both hate salt water softened water so we use a electrostatic softener that doesn't seem to do shit.
Plants and animals seem to thrive on it and its in 100% of what I drink daily.

My 265' well travels at 7.0 ph also

When 6 of the 8 new seedlings turn out to be males.
Crap !!!

I planted a handful of some Pakistani seeds a year or 2 ago and nearly every one of them was unstable, but I also suspected my soilless mix was too 'hot'.

Plants that come from deprived, wind-blown mountain locations where rocky soils are common, probably didn't like my metaphorical Beverly Hills smorgasbord breakfasts.
