Merit 75 if ya want to wipe them out G . its found in all kinds of different pesticides . i think Bayer tree & shrub has it or you can buy just the Merit75 by itself if i remember correctly .


anybody heard from 3rd in awhile .... i guess southern parts a few towns were wiped out . 3rd .... you here ???

Well just got in from the barn, lights a flickin and all that.

Backups of the pineapples and grapefruit along with some biker kush.

I'm keeping them in the 7oz cups cause they are just backup. All but one of each strain will get tossed. Don't want them to get big on me. I figure I got another month before the roots are completely green and dieing off at which point I may transplant them.

On another note, it's been 48 hours with the 200 gpd going and I'm up to about 160 gallons lol.

See dans, this is why I wanted the 1000 gpd evolution. I have really shitty water. It goes through a big blue whole house filter and still will do this to a sediment filter in two days.

On the bright side I get to clean this up tomorrow. Our patio table took a leap of faith while I was in the barn.

It was a rusty piece of shit so I don't feel too bad but damn, thing flew about 15 feet off our deck.

I guess so dude !!! 48 hrs & your filter looks like that & your averaging less than half of what the output should be . you should easily fill 1 of those in 1 day .
whats your EC after the filters ???

thats gonna be a bitch to clean up all that glass .... you have dogs ... they could tear up a paw if its not all gone .

 

[Treetroit City]

Yeah, I think it's tempered glass but still don't want the pups out there.

To be honest I haven't hooked up the booster pump yet but once I do it kills filters quicker than it does now but it will get the full 200 gpd if nor more. There were 2 boosters available, the 6800 and the 8800. I figured bigger=better right? Not so sure, the 8800 boosts to 100 psi which is a tad more than what is recommended for this unit but would probably kick ass on the Evolution.

Kicking myself for not having gutters up. Decided to wait until spring as we've already had snow but today would have been a banner day for rain water collecting.

third i would try a tall boy prefilter before your ro unit,thats what i did and over a year later and never a problem or filter change,my sediment filter is still white...

Evenion fellaz
Found my ant problem. My host decided to put some plants in the shed. I really didn't think much of it when I first seen them but got to thinking about why the ants would all of the sudden show up in massive numbers So I went back for another look. The ant trail is coming from 1 of his plants, around some obstacles and right up the table leg to my veg tray
c4 you win the prize but my problem is just began. The fucking ants are farming alright, moving the aphids from the yard plant to my GG#4 Gave him and my self a scolding and sent his yard plants packing. He thought he could soak up some free warm light lol Now I gotta treat for the little fucking bugs for the next few months

I'm sorry to have been correct.....

 

[dansbuds]

I'm on my like 3rd bowl of glue & this one has a dab of oil on it ..... think i'm gonna call it a night .... screens gettin a little blurry & this electric tears album has me in a daze

 

[Seaf0ur]

doublepost....

 

[Seaf0ur]

It's only cheating when you use it so save it for when your knee needs a brake
Now about them damn root aphids. I know you fellas had a bout with them this year. What do you think did the job best?

If it were me, I'd use THIS

 

[unclefishstick]

im smoking some cindy99,i should really pop some of those,i do have hundreds of them...

Guess I'll have to get another. Already runs thru one of these pre RO.

These are 20"x4.5" or something.

Looking at getting an iron filter for the house but that's like $1500 or so.

Always something...

 

[Grizz]

goooood eveninggg . I sure miss the witch burnings and the political beheadings from the the castle days, so boring talking about bikes and such. lol.

 

[unclefishstick]

i was gonna say i have enough problems of my own to want to talk about other people problems,but i dont really...maybe its boring,buts its not stressful at least...

 

[Grizz]

you have no right to even talk about stress, your single, remember ?

 

[unclefishstick]

well i suppose all this free time and disposable income does get a tad stressful at times...somedays i just cant fit as much cool bike gear in the trailer as i want to buy and it can be tough deciding on a new glass bubbler!

maybe i need to get the bill trailer next,you can haul up to 400lbs with it...that way when i go to get the new bike i can just haul it home rather than have to get a ride...cant really pick up a bike with another bike easily...

You got him thinkin about wives now Joesy! He must have seen a cute chubby one at that bar he frequents. Now he wants a trailer to carry her with. SEE! You guys thot he was cured, but I always knew he was gonna go back after the whales....

Cmon unc, I have heard of excuses for buying a trailer before but jeez...


You can take off the front wheel and secure it to the frame. Then attach the fork to your back wheel and ride away. I have seen some crazy shit go down in my area, LOTS OF BIKE RIDERS.


bums around here take wheel chairs strip em down to the fram and wheels add some aluminum stretchers and make badass trailers, for practically free.

Im hoping that I will be able to afford a nice bike by next year...you keep stoking the cycling fire inside of me. Since I dont have the bucks I subscribed to a few bike mags to keep me reminded...

 

[unclefishstick]

lol,let me put that another way....so i can haul stuff home safely....

be careful what you buy,better to start cheap and work your way up,many of the types of more expensive bikes truly suck to ride unless you are already in good shape,and if riding sucks you aint gonna do it....start easy,half hour rides the first week,then just add 10 minutes each week...soon enough you will be able to ride for hours...

 

[unclefishstick]

a little look-see at the flower room,everything seems to be churning along nicely...

grom x gk and gorilla glue about 3 weeks in...the grom x gk is about a week ahead of the glue.

Ill try to take some pics of the bikes I see to give you an idea, lol


I appreciate the advice but, NO WAY JOSE. If I buy a bike, its gonna be the last bike I buy for a while. Probably most of my life...thats what my last cannondale was suppose to be and lasted 8+years til she got ripped.

Dont worry unc, I am intense and extreme by nature. Ill be getting you hooked on strava just so I can go travel to your neck of the globe and break your records. jk

I live on endless loggin roads with patches of old growth here and there, and my dogs are getting tired of running along side the truck. Two of my dogs will pull ya if your on anything with wheels, skateboards, bikes, etc. I have had folks roll down there windows and tell me im goin 17mph, all puppy powered..

I can just hook up two pups and they will make sure I get those miles in rain or shine
