tobh's troll cave

Daughter played him and others so much I got to like it. Still pop in a cd in the car once in a while. Get strange looks in the city with windows down and a old white guy driving. 🤣

Daughter still loves him. Keeps looking for some spaghetti sauce he made. 🤷‍♂️

Without disclosing too much, what was the 3rd number of the year you were born in? Just because I'm curious. Need it for the mental image: old man blasting Marshal Mathers LP, looking for mom's spaghetti sauce (pro tip: dollar store ketchup with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a little water to loosen it up).

I'm back bitches :cool:

Some updates in progress, but I'm ramping back up for another cold, sticky winter run. The troll cave is firing back up in full force, going recirculating DTW this round. Per usual I'm relying on the lessons @Dirtbag has been so gracious to share, and hopefully I'll be able to be extra lazy on the grow and focus on the chaos that which is my life while the grass does what grass does.

Stay tuned for some clever engineering as the last mile is proving a brain teaser.

Try not to over complicate anything bud. I am a DTW advocate because even my half smart ole ass can do it blindfolded.

I think the majority of the growers I talk to run EBB and FLO is because drains are a bitch if the grow area isn’t built from the ground up.

I do not think either way costs less or produces better results. That’s all in the growers ability.

However DTW set up correctly is a lot less work than any style IMO.

PEACE

Don't tempt me back in that direction lol been there, done that, and still of the mind greener pastures are in the more complicated methods. One of my favorite albums is called Found in the Flood, after all...

Can't really argue here, especially if you're using bulk salts for nutrients. In my particular case my issue was a very limited water supply to my grow shed. By reusing runoff from the tables and drain water from the dehu, I only had to top off my holding tank with fresh water and nutrients about 20% as often as I did running dtw. Was also running dynagro nutrients that weren't the cheapest.

I did also find it easier in the sense that I didn't need to mix nutrients nearly as often. And I liked the fact that extremely little if anything got wasted. Probably close to 1/10 the amount of water and nutrients wasted.
 
I have never ran E&F or Flood and drain however my 2 bros do. We all three run 6 lights or three 4x8 trays. We all have very similar size sealed rooms and environmental controls and equipment and live in the same area as far as everything else goes.

All 3 of us are on the electric car rate plan from our provider. This lowers your power bill 40+% were we live and believe me not one of us redneck hillbilly’s even knows anyone with an electric car let alone owns one. This is just a informative call to the power company informing them that you are the proud owner of a said new fancy electric car. No Pink Slip/registration needed.

Both bros use $1100-1200 in nutrient'S and inputs per grow and I use less that $400 per grow.

They mix 125 gallon reservoirs weekly add water and have to reset pH regularly.

With DTW I mix 100-150 gallons per week of nutrients and inputs and never have to drain Reservoirs nor clean them until the end of a run.

So this is why I feel there is very little waste in DTW and I GUARANTEE YOU it is incredibly less work running DTW. This guy does a very good job of explaining it however I do not recommend 75% of the shit he promotes/advertises.

We can have the quality discussion if anyone wants however they will whole heartedly agree that I Grow better dope!

They have been growing 10-15 years longer than me and I have always helped and learned from them however I got to retire first and have more time than money and possibly brains and really enjoy comparing our crops! Unfortunately for them over the last 5 years they sure do enjoy my crop and cry about theirs more often than not.

PEACE
 
Unfortunately my dumb ass left the Advanced professor out of my last post coco for cannabis is good beginning info.

However if you’re polite and respectful and he has time Aquaman might have time to get back to you if you are not asking questions he has already posted on his threads. He has definitely helped me more than anyone on any recent forums💯

Peace

Aquaman sorry I left you out of the above post! You seriously deserve kudos and have helped me through several potential disasters

You @Dirtbag and @tobh all know a shit ton brother. We all learn together as a community. When i started i was just a fish breeder/keeper. Communities like this provide all the knowledge anyone could ask for if they want to put in the time to learn it.

This community kicks ass and tons of knowledge flowing through it from staff to new members

I salute you Aquaman for helping me! I seriously can’t imagine how many questions you answer a day!

Aqua's the man, man. He's the one most responsible for my success in hydro. I've had a lot of help, but he's always given solid advice.

I was always taught you can lead a horse to water butcha can’t make drink?????

a blind horse will drink only the water it finds quenching,. the other will stay parched until it finds the truth.
 
So. Damn. Close. The shark bite coupler i bought won't fit schedule 40 PVC to make the transition to the copper, so another trip to the hardware store is needed. Tomorrow, though. Summer tires on the WRX aren't tolerating the low 40s too well and it's still too warm too often for the winter tires.
