Grump's Lemony Shiznits Grow 🌱

[CannaGranny]

I'll have my meters set up soon enough and will be able to test the ph and ppm of the well water.

I think it has something to do with all the limestone around here.

I watered the seedlings with spring water last night. Sunday or Monday, I plan to get everything plumbed. Another day to fill the RO resevoir. So around Monday or Tuesday, if there's still only 3 sprouts, I'm tossing them and starting over.

I start mine in a cup of dampened soil. I ph the water down to 5.9 to start my seedlings. As soon as they sprout, I up it to 6-6.2. We have a lot of limestone here too.

I've had great success starting them in grow-plugs. Just drop and water. Easy peasy.

Well I think I'm gonna toss these fellers so I've changed the thread name to reflect that. I finally got a 4th to pop maybe 2 days ago, but I want a great start, not a salty one with seedlings looking like they're in 4 different stages. So to the next strain I go. Plenty of beans in the roster, so I'm not gonna fret.

I have faith in Redbeard's beans so I'm gonna pop his Lemony Shiznitz instead. I got a freebie 4 pack and I trust that all 4 will sprout. I'll used bottled RO water with a dash of RapidStart. Hopefully I can get my RO system plumbed in today. I got a doghouse to build first.

$300 dog box is built. On to the RO system.

That's a good looking beast.
I had a Lab/ Shepard mix that looked very similar as my first on my own dog in the 80's.
'Coach' was an awesome companion and protecter.

Pretty pup. The dog crate looks good. Much too nice to show to my dogs.

Is it an optical illusion making it look like that door can't be opened or is it just a door that's no longer in use?

He's all Shepherd. I think 105lbs. Biggest wuss EVER.

Haha. I spoil my critters, and no. That door was pretty well useless with the ramp there, and I've got a best friend confined to his wheelchair so it stays. I put a doggy door in that door for the hounds. It was hard to find a happy medium for height considering that dog vs. my mini schnauzer

Hey shyooot.. I found a little T fitting while looking through all my crap. I broke a fitting for my pump and was digging for something to fit that and voilà.. I'm tapped into my water line headed to the fridge. It was a 5 minute hookup and it's not bolted to the wall and filling my drum. Hell yeah. Only took 10 minutes to get some RO goin'.

Do you have a float valve for your drum?
They are great~!

Reverse Osmosis Adjustable Float Valve

Why does BRS recommend this? Float valves are simple to install and can save a lot of water from ending up on the floor. They can be installed in containers as small 1 gallon pails, sumps, and 200 plus gallon commercial storage containers to shut off the flow of water. Even if you do not have a...

I do, and I think that's where that little T fitting came from.

I got all the Hydroponics plumbed in today and will be able to focus on all the electrical from here. Everything is in place and ready for power.

After that, a deep cleaning is in store. Everything will be ready so I'm hoping that, by next weekend, the seedling can motive into the system.

We're 2 days in after planting. No signs yet.
