Chat room (let's chat!) šŸ’¬ (Part 1)

Thanks, but it is not easy to connect as we are in different time, while Pedro wakes up I am going to bed and so on. Maybe just splitting long threads would be a solution, that way they can be bumped up and are not buried down like the previous music thread ā€¦ :sunglasses:

Hot and humid day here. Plants were looking sad and figured the heat and humidity was stressing them out.

Decided Iā€™d do a light measurement and ā€¦ 2300 PPFD at the canopy from the LED fixtures :grimacing:.

Oppsie. Sorry gals, that wasnā€™t being helpful. Raise them beasties.

Close. Those were under some Heliospectra as ā€˜supplementalā€™ in a Greenhouse. Even though supplemental I have them fairly close to the tops.

Sun is coming in, but not full sunlight because trees, through some glazing as well. I was eyeballing the height and didnā€™t expect such intensity. For some reason, I had it in my mind around that I was sitting around 800-1000 PPFD. Being lazy and all, I was clearly way off base and was a bit shocked ā€¦ poor things. I was probably doing a bit damage for awhile.

Thatā€™s the highest PPFD that Iā€™ve measured to date, had to step back. Checked the sensor, looked around the room to see if anyone was watching, sneak in a bunch of ratchet clicks ā€¦ :laughing:

I see this and think human beings are still babies on the evolutionary scale. Weā€™re just lobbing nuclear weapons into the air to watch em blow up using the excuse of knowledge to justify it ā€” like a group of teenage boys and a case of Molotov cocktails, or little kids with magnifying glasses and dry wood on a sunny day.

Or making hand made bows and arrows, and firing lighted arrows into your neighbours trees, setting them on fire and burning down their shed, not that I would do anything like that :wink:

Big fire works, its sad when you think all these great ideas that are created in an attempt to help mankind end up being used to destroy our selves.

I like to think that like fire, weā€™ll learn how to coexist with nuclear and atomic powers without wiping ourselves out.

Practically, I think our goal as a species should be creating self-sustaining ships, and launching large city-sized colonies off in every direction. Theyā€™ll likely never run into another group of humans for the rest of eternity, but itā€™s by far the best chance of survival beyond the deaths of whole galaxies.

I think we would stand a better chance if we could clean up our act and remain here, I dont think we could move to another planet and live as we do here, due to no defence to the bacteria and viruses living anywhere else.

There has to be an evolutionary process and presence for everything living together on an individual planet, I would have thought, so if you didnā€™t evolve there, your basically fucked lol. Although bacteria is shown to be arriving here on comets and asteroids from all over the universe, so we may be used to some of it.

On 4/20 me and @StevieG threw together a bunch of packs we werenā€™t expecting to grow anytime soon. 420 seeds into 33 packs of 13, and handed em all out irl.
Well, through a friend of a friend I got some pictures back of some babies!


Was too excited to keep it to myself.

Only when everything else is dialled in and they have loads of light available. Timing is crucial too, wk4 to wk7 is good :+1:

Donā€™t know where else to put this, but anyway, if I may posit an idea.

In the same way that our moon, is The Moon, even tho there are other moons. In the future I believe the earth will be The Earth, among a series of different planets in a series of Earthā€™s.

Care to share your recipe for LSD?

Oh dude thatā€™s so far beyond my understanding of chemistry. Lmfao. Fucked up my hip after elementary, tried goin back in middle school and broke my leg on a damn handicapped school bus. Lmfao. Never been to high school a day in my life.

I do know it could be grown and extracted from ergot growing on rye, but then you have that saint elmos fire to get rid of. Gangrene doesnā€™t sound like a fair trade for a day of tripping balls. Lmfao

I once heard it asked of someone qualified to answer, how to synthesize LSD. The response was something like ā€œif you fully understood the process it would be difficult, so if you donā€™t yet understand the process the task is probably insurmountable.ā€

I never have used a neem oil only the meal has anyone ever used this particular brand? Read through the directions and it states not to use with any spreaders, stickers and such? I want to use a bit with my soap ,anyone disagree with this statement or have any idea s why?

The rare individual that reads instructions :smile: I would have missed that.

Donā€™t know ā€¦ Iā€™d follow their suggestions. Maybe it could cause burns or something.

As far as soaps as a surfactant, youā€™d optimally want to use non-ionic surfactants. Common dish soap are not. Even though folk have used them without trouble (dish soap), surfactants other than nonionic type can cause damage. This is a good read.

So whatā€™s Castile soap ?ionic or non ionic, the soap I make Iā€™d consider it as a Castile soap itā€™s only made with oil and KOH
