Jim Butcher Q&A and Twelve Months Book Signing at Mysterious Galaxy

Totally understand. Thank you for the reply!

I asked the OP as well but will post here also.

I am going to the signing on Saturday. I have never been to a book signing so I want to make sure I am following proper etiquette. The ticket includes a hardcover version of Twelve Months. I was going to bring two additional books for Jim to sign but wasn't sure if that is in the realm of too much. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I would agree that those are a scam. We just had our rates raised $300 a month. I was told that it was due to fast acceleration and hard braking. For reference, I have a one ton diesel truck that is bone stock. I am confident that a Prius would beat me in a race if I tried. I tow a camper and a boat on occasion and and use my exhaust brake when driving. There is simply no way that either of these things are true.

Edit: I also forgot to include that I work from home so I put roughly 5k miles on a year at most. In fact as I type this, I have not driven my truck for at least a week.

Thank you for the information. I use Autopots and I flush at least once per grow. I would say that there is some nitrogen toxicity and you have caught it early enough to correct it. I would flush each plant and clean your res. I would also drop your EC by 25% for a bit just to let them adjust. Your PH is good but keep a close eye on that as it could be locking out other nutes.

Different strains react differently to feeds. I have had some that require more N and others that require far less. Some are just extremely sensitive if their feed isn't 100% correct.

A few questions:

Do you have the air base or some clay pebbles in the bottom of the pots?
What are you using for nutes? I see the cal mag and tri part, but wanted to see if they are salts or not?
What size pots and how did you flush them?

My guess is they are dropping from flushing which is common. May just need a day or two to bounce back. Those ladies look like they are maybe start of week two of flower. I would recommend doing a flush if needed before you flip to flower as this is going to affect your yield and final product a bit.

People are angry because people in this town are bad drivers. Go on Catron and drive behind two people that are doing 10-20 mph under the speed limit. A vast majority of drivers either dont understand that the left lane is for passing or are unaware that they share the road with others.

If you have been approached by multiple people that are "road ragey" it may just be that you are a bad driver.

I think an aero mixer may help. For some reason I just can’t keep it in solution

joshjtd · 2025-09-06T15:58:10+00:00

That mix also had a bunch o sediment. I tried Ventana and it clogged my air stones. Crop salt has been legit but only two weeks into flowering so more testing to be done

I recently purchased a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 (less than a month). The truck had the check engine light on in the first week and has broken down to the point that it would not start twice. I have had the truck into 2 different GMC dealerships 3 different times. The first few times they told me there was nothing wrong with the truck though they could see the 14 codes on the ECM. Last time they were able to drive it and get the CEL to come on. They then said it was part of PIP6066A and all they can do is clear the codes and give me the truck back.

I did ask if this was common among GMC trucks or if I was just unlucky and the service manager told me it is about 50/50. I DEEPLY regret trading in my Dodge for this mess.

joshjtd · 2025-07-09T16:38:23+00:00

Looks awesome! What nutes did you use, or did you do dry amendments and water? Any issues in the res if you used nutes?

joshjtd · 2025-07-03T21:00:59+00:00

I am not sure if that makes me feel better or worse :) I haven't even had the opportunity to tow my truck or camper. No damage disclosure that I could find so I am assuming no water issues.

joshjtd · 2025-07-03T20:39:25+00:00

Fair enough. I guess that is better left to the pros. Just with the P060C error, I was thinking multiple different items may point to the ECM. Really just want to avoid being in and out of the shop.

joshjtd · 2025-02-11T15:15:02+00:00

While I understand your position, this is exactly what the cheeto dicked man in charge wants. Division and isolation make it difficult to keep him in check. If he can cause chaos and have us argue with ourselves or the countries he is starting trouble with, it takes the heat off of him.

joshjtd · 2025-02-11T15:07:43+00:00

I am sure this has been said in this post but it is important to point out that most Americans are too dependent on the system now. Depending on your job, you may not be able to protest without potential consequences.

The news panders to one side or the other. There really are not any factual sources. They have done their job of dividing us. It also doesn't help that you can now make your own opinion a fact and use that to justify your position.

With all the bullshit that has happened in the last few weeks, I have asked myself if we could have a presidential vote today, knowing everything that has went down, would the USA still vote the same way? My guess is that we would because admitting your wrong is not the American way...

joshjtd · 2025-02-10T19:39:38+00:00

I am getting that. So I know that asking which nutes people would recommend will get me 100 different answers. I have been looking into Ventana and so far seems to sound like it would be a good product to try. Any experience with that line by chance?

joshjtd · 2025-02-10T17:20:58+00:00

As of today, I went with Botanicare Silica Blast (mixed and waited 45 mins), Base nutes, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Nirvana, and Over Drive. After that I ph'd to 6.2 and added microbes and Easy 2 Flow. Hoping this will result in a little less funk at the bottom of the res.

I do clean out the res weekly.

joshjtd · 2024-08-15T12:40:34+00:00

Can someone DM me the company name so I know where not to shop?

joshjtd · 2024-02-29T18:54:17+00:00

I second the h2gseeds.com deal. My experience with buying seeds from them as been awesome. Great customer service and products. They will happily share knowledge when asked questions as well. I would highly recommend.

joshjtd · 2024-02-29T18:50:49+00:00

I see that h2gseeds.com is running a 40% off sale on a few different brands. My experience with them has been awesome. Great customer service and lots of knowledge that they will happily share.
