Shit I just looked at your pics and it looks like you grow in soil. Pretty much everything I said is the same but soil indoors is a mystery to me!

If ya wanna grow indoors why use any outdoor techniques?

Synthetic nutrients, lights, grow medium, and everything else Indoors?

Outdoor soil and organic nutrients 💯

Peace.

What you are asking (0.33ml/L) is a teaspoon in 4 gallons.


Science is metric. Trying to do it in imperial, is adding calculator grade maths, where non was needed. The metric system goes to great lengths to measure things in relatable units. Things like the light from a lamp, cast over an area, gives a density that's doesn't need a sum. You just change the wording. Not the numbers. It's all the same thing. It's conceptual. Similarly, people will use umol/j and umol/w interchangeably, yet the number didn't change. Both are right, because the units in the metric system are relatable, whenever possible. Counting is done in 10s because that is how we count. That is our language. It's how many fingers we have.
It's lunacy to try to do science without a zero. Counting in dozens, or thinking all cups and spoons are the same size.
There are 1760 yards in a mile, and 1000 meters in a kilometer. Which is more elegant to work with.
Being encouraged to use the imperial system, should be a flashing red conspiracy light. Not met with open armed acceptance.

It's 0.33ml per liter. Why are we having to do maths. Buy a better bucket.

If Trump wants to make America great again, he will put a stop to this.

Google:
NASA lost a 125 million Mars orbiter, because they messed up with the imperial system.
Did they learn? No, it was only a year since they lost something in Earth orbit. Again, imperial conversions.

We can't be as dumb as NASA. We have decent buds to grow. This is important stuff.

Growing isn’t rocket science ,it‘s more like cooking 4 tsp to a tbs 16 tbs to a cup 4 cups to a quart 4 quarts to a gallon just easier to te figure on the cuff IMO .For ? enginearing ok it‘s not so good . NASA screwed up because they are goverment f ups .

Do you remember the metric martyr?

Wonder how many Americans would follow suit on a forced metric conversion March

The only flaws in your argument is there's actually 3 tsp per TBLS, :ninja:

Just looked it up .yeah man freedom that’s what makes American great lol but really I can use both I just find it easier to use standard ( no not imperial) for mixing stuff

The Metric martyr is a great story.
My old grandad used to Mention it every now and again at dinner.

I can use both too but metric is just far more logical. Funny though we still say how tall we are in feet/inches and still use cups of this and that to cook so the old imperial isn’t quite dead yet the metric martyr did not die in vain.

100%. I still haven’t quite figured out how to listen to plants that never say anything!

runs under your belt is the only thing that will teach you how to manipulate an indoor grow! I’m a senior citizen and don’t see or hear very well anymore! However the plants show me what they want more than they tell me!

I guess it depends on linguistics?

The last 40+ years of Americans would be better at math if they weren’t taught in imperial! I remember in grade school when the powers that be were telling us we were switching to the metric system. Whoever made the final decision to keep imperial fucked up! I seriously enjoy math but it would be so much easier for people that do not like math the US was on the metric system!! Add a zero or take however many zeros away you want. The metric system easier!

How many imperial wrenches have you used on a car made in the last 30years?

I do like the Mile. It doesn't really need to convert to anything, it just is. It's a nice unit, for car journeys that multiples of meters just seem a bit small for.

However, like with most old measures, there are a few. If you don't know one from the other.. goodbye mars orbiter. A mistake we can trace back beyond Columbus, the first European to land in the Bahamas, but thought it was Asia. History is littered with huge mistakes, by people we think know better.
The upmost expert on the measurement system, is the guy that see's a non SI unit in use, and slams the brakes on, refusing to go any further.

I'm not sure why the international space agencies need telling this, on a pot site, but there it is. The absolute gauge-able truth.

I love this^^^^^

Would be cool to group fund a space station zero g grow and get that space smoke going on.

I think we could tempt snoop.

If you dumped all your buds and an electric shaver in a zero-g airlock, would the 1000 monkeys adage mean it trimmed itself. This question is grant worthy

I'm seeing metric units on products more and more, so I am trying to force myself to convert to metric. ☘️

I know all cars are now metric ,but in fact I do use SAE tools because they fit and I have them handy .All my drives are in inches or fractions of, evan on my metric socket sets .I have American equipment that is all SAE and it’s not old . Math is math we are only talking mesurments , I doesn’t hurt kids to learn fraction as well . On that I think ill pour another .5 cup of coffee
