What's new

Random picture thread

I use the new shopping bags as grow bags in my crates. Three years seems to be how long they last before replacement is required.

I was just saying to my wife we need to stock up on new ones when I spot these a block from the house. All empty except for a new package of rope and some receipts. After inspection a few were ripped but over 30 bags ready to go. 👊
 
Hello guys it's the weekend again naturally I've a random pic to share with you all 🤗

A Crookes radiometer.

it's a cool toy and it can shed some light on the ir emitted from led 😂
Sitting on my dehumidifier it hits ± 60rpm that's evening sun territory at 57⁰ north 🤫

Have a great weekend everyone 🍻
 
I see 6/ 6.5
Check if directions say to hold in front of white or a light or what.
I see 6 above the plate and 6.5 where I see the plate through the sample.
All the aquarium test I used to do were color type test.

Sharp....Eye there!!! I missed that..it dose not say to do that, but I do anyway when I pH everything else... Get ready to continue then
 
I see 6/ 6.2+ on second picture.
Next secret trick is always perfom that test exactly the same.
Same lighting, same background.
Whether it is 6 or 7 doesn't matter in reality.
You have a 'baseline' and now can document how the grow was impacted and make adjustments in grows down the rode.
That is how I made the color reagent test effective for me in aquariums when many found them useless.
Consistency is your friend when testing.

I see around 6

I use drops, I'll post what I use when I get in the house, it's for a very limited range though not sure if it would work for you

I like my pH at 6.8 in soil (or Pro mix) because then it has a longer way to drift down before it gets below 6 in the root zone, I use Dolomite in soil so it locks it in the mid 6's anyway, but not in Pro mix it already has dolomite in it

I was sitting outside the other day thinking I need to mow again. Understand that we don't have a "lawn" here but some mixed native grasses and weeds. I was tryin out some of that LA Coup, got me ripped off my arse and I was staring at these weeds and noticed these particular weed had some tiny white flowers. I saw them again today and was like, I want a closer look. So I took my scope and took a photo of them close up, they are very pretty and you would never notice unless you get ripped and space out on it, :LOL:

Anyhow, here is a photo of the weed in a little cup with water, and then a close up of one of the flowers at 100x. Cool cool.

Did a little kayak river float with the family on Sunday. I assume these are still referred to as "Canadian" geese, but I won't pretend to keep up with single executive order.

I only found out a few years ago that they aren’t protected up here anymore. Buggers get in groups and take over parks and ponds, sometimes pools. One park near a school has warning signs as they will go after you.

They're thick down here, too. Just hanging out in fields like cattle, lol. Had a huge gaggle cross the road when I was going to visit a buddy. They didn't get in any hurry and I had to sit there for a minute.

Thanks for this laugh brother. Got me good this hump day morning and made me smile about how I'll always think of it as the Gulf of Margaritaville no matter what some creepy orange freak man says otherwise.

I always thought Canadian Geese were cool and beautiful mostly because my Mom loved them. We never saw them in Cali but for some reason she loved them. Then when she would travel thru the midwest she'd see them, take pics, and send me the pics so I thought ya know "Cool. Mom got to see her geese!" So I've always had nice thoughts about the geese.

Then I went to Chicago in 2023 and got a very different opinion about them. Apparently they're a nuisance and can be assholes. So our tour guide was pretty much like fuck those dickhead geese because they're a bunch of assholes and they're mean and shit everywhere.
Hearing him, I could only imagine what my Mom woulda been thinking as this guy railed on about her beloved geese.
