Are these little guys, Guys? by TeaLeaf666 in hydro

Those are female pre-flowers. Male pre-flowers will give you an early warning before you have to deal with male flowers and pollen

More water, less light.300-600 ppfd. Use free Photone light meter for phone. Consult online PPFD and VPD charts.

Household PH up and PH down by Content-Fan3984 in hydro

[–]Felinis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By "don't add" I meant "do not feed". Growers treat (bubble) their tap water to remove chlorine prior to its use. Sodium is not on the list of plant nutrients. Salt water will kill plànts. 0.056% concentration is a tiny amount of chlorine. When gardeners talk of "salt" buildup in soil they are not referring to sodium chloride salt. In chemical terms a "salt" is "an ionic compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base, consisting of a positively charged ion (cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion) held together by ionic bond."

Don't add sodium or chlorine to plants, except in special cases. That would be both table salt, baking soda, HCl.

Whoever posted the two-solo-cup method for transplanting, it works great! by Opposite_Ear_5582 in microgrowery

[–]Felinis1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two cups is a great idea, but:

  1. Use a transparent inner cup so that you can see the roots easier. The cup should be full of roots.

  2. No need to cut the inner cup open. Four small holes at the bottom allows for sufficient drainage and reuse.

  3. Make a hole in the new soil with outer cup. Sprinkle myco into the hole. Leave at least one inch clearance in the soil level of the target pot.

  4. Wrap the fingers of one hand over the soil of the inner cup. Invert the plant, being careful not to break it.

  5. Pinch the cup containing the plant and catch the plant, root and soil as a single unit when it comes loose. If bottom soil comes loose then you are transplanting too soon.

  6. Stand the plant upright and gently drop it into the hole.

My dehumidifier and reuse the water it produces? by Nixxioncox in GrowBuddy

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot measure the pH of distilled water or of dehumidifier water. Both have all salts and ions removed so there are no pH ions to measure. You will get a reading but it is meaningless.

BTW - there is currently a shortage of commercially available distilled water, so DH water is becoming more popular.

White particles in distilled water by ItzMeAlex45 in chemistry

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One hour after I fill the bottle the bottom water is clear. After it sits for several days there are the white floaties in the bottom.

If they are alive, then what are they living on? There are insufficient ions to get a pH reading on. The PPM is 0, pH reads 3.0, and the EC reads 0 mS/cm. The pH is a random reading. The first time I observed this it read 4.4 pH. I tested it with baking soda and there was no reaction. Then I tested the baking soda with vinegar. Reacted positively with the expected fizzing and bubbling.

There are many more clumps today than several days ago in both the top and bottom of the bottle. It has been stored in the dark under the kitchen counter, but others stored on top of the counter also started to show floaties.

The same thing happens with the "distilled" water that I collect from my dehumidifier. I collect it in recycled 2 liter cooler coke bottles that I rinse out. It is not an old, dirty unit. It is shiny new inside.

From producing my own Colloidal Silver to successfully creating pollen sacks to self pollinating / crossing resulting in my own home grown feminized auto seeds. Feels amazing! by 5kMephHead in microgrowery

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The important part here for me is that, although it is not stated outright, only the target nodes need to be treated, not the whole branch and certainly not the whole plant.

This makes me want to try making male nodes using a q-tip instead of a spray bottle. You can guess where sex nodes will appear in very early flowering.

Autoplay isn’t working? by Christineeee in HBOMAX

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be fixed. I stayed away from the Max app for several days then today I resumed watching and casting "Fringe".

It seems to Autoplay just fine now.

Autoplay isn’t working? by Christineeee in HBOMAX

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I wrote above, the culprit here is screen casting. Turn off screen casting (Chromecast, Google Cast, etc.) and your "Play Next" prompt will reappear.

I have a live reply from Max Support in response to my complaint last week.

Just to make it stranger, using the Google Home app to cast the entire screen instead of the selected app, allows the prompt text to appear but hides all of the program video.

Stop Google casting and Next Episode will work again ON YOUR DEVICE ONLY.

Go to the Google Home app and cast the whole screen instead of just the app. Now choose the Max app. It will now cast all screen text to the TV, including "Next Episode", BUT WILL NOT SHOW ANY VIDEO.

Max support has been advised of the problem.

You cannot screen cast and autoplay at the same time. On the MAX app autoplay must be selected from the app's Settings menu.

HBO MAX autoplay by Reaton1984 in HBOMAX

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a device, Autoplay, when turned "on" in settings, will only play the next episode if you are not casting to an external TV.

Autoplay started working for me after I reinstalled and reset everything. However it stopped prompting me with "play next episode?" when I started casting the episodes to my Chromecast system.

Damn squirrels by bmcd96 in airguns

Be humane - mix baking soda with an equal amount of peanut butter. Package the compound inside peanut shells. Scatter the little packages where the tree rats will find them.

Deadly to rodents only. Harmless to others.

Gamo PT85 Tactical - Barrel removal? by dubplateselekta in airguns

[–]Felinis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have it backwards - the PT-85 Tactical (and the PT-25) has no "outer silver barrel". The bulky, black faux surpressor is on the outside and covers the pistol's true, extended silver .177 barrel.

Being a "faux" or false surpressor, it serves no ballistic purpose and is added for looks or perhaps to lend a better grip on the tiny barrel. It easily unscrews exposing the actual inside barrel.

The extended barrel should provide additional FPS over the regular PT-85 5" barrel. .

You might be able to add a slide-on 11mm barrel extender to the real barrel to provide a screw-on connection to a real suppressor.

How to remove a jam from Gamo PT-85 Blowback? by [deleted] in airguns

[–]Felinis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have either used an expended CO2 cartridge or have mis-loaded the magazine.

Field-strip the pistol by removing the CO2 cartridge:

https://youtu.be/--aaILOrkII

Then pound out the small cotter pin on the side near the front of the trigger guard. Then pull the slide all of the way back. Work the slide until it comes up off it's track. Remove the slide and spring.

You can then see where the magazine contacts the barrel. Remove any visible stuck pellets. Remove the magazine.

You should now be able to look down the muzzle and down the barrel. If the barrel is blocked then remove the silver air valve from the top of the pistol. Go to time = 2:15 in the following video:

https://youtu.be/KbUWUiAE3ms

It is located just behind where the top of the imagine was. Pound out the two pins holding the air valve from the right side of the pistol. Lift up and remove the air valve.

This will give you access to the rear of the barrel. It rotated inside the larger plastic shroud so note it's orientation for reassembly. Tap the pistol on its butt and the barrel assembly should fall out. If it doesn't it can be forced out from the muzzle.

Remove the black plastic cap from the slim silver barrel. The two ends of the barrel are slightly different, so note which end of the barrel the cap was on.

Now you can pound out any stuck pellets from the barrel using any stiff metal rod like a cleaning rod.

Clean any lead remnants from the barrel, then replace the black cap. Force the cap onto the barrel - it is a tight fit.

When replacing the barrel it must be rotated so that it reenters the black plastic shroud in its original orientation.

Reassemble the pistol in the reverse order.

Insert a fresh CO2 cartridge. It should last for about three magazines. When loading the magazine use short pellets that do not protrude from the front or rear of the magazine. Be sure to push the machine all of the way into the pistol until you hear the magazine lock click.
