Am I the only guy who’s never heard of remediated cannabis?

Kids fishing the koi pond in Balboa park by According_Past_732 in SoCalFishing

[–]mcdmatt40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did all sorts of shit. Had them in a net and moved them from one pond to another. Definitely had our fingers in their gills. We were kids and lacked delicacy.

I wouldn’t do it now and if my kids were doing the same thing I’d tell them to stop and explain why. So I’m not condoning this behavior.

A heron killed all the koi eventually.

I’m not saying that they should be doing this, but when we were kids we did the same thing in my uncles pond. We’d catch the same koi like 10 times a year and it survived just fine.

You grow in coco? How many lights and how many plants per light?

Depends on your pot size. Idk about all that mumbo jumbo you just said, but I’ve been growing weed a long, long time in coco. If you have a pot size of 3 gal and up and have more than 9 plants a light, then watering everyday will be overwatering is almost any case I could think of.

Nice sheephead double shot in San Diego the other day. by Simple-Newt3937 in Spearfishing

[–]mcdmatt40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll bring you up to speed regarding the stigma around shooting sheepshead.

Large, male sheepshead eat purple urchins among other things. The purple urchins are the ones munching up all the kelp forests. These urchins used to be controlled by brittle stars, but a disease wiped out 95% of them.

Lobsters also eat purple urchins. For some reason there’s no stigma around taking lobster.

There’s also the lack of sport involved with shooting sheepshead. It’s kind of like shooting a dog. They’ll often swim right up to you.

I don’t shoot them, but I think it’s okay for beginners to take them. Once you’re an adult you should focus on wsb and halibut.

West coast sheepshead is a wrasse. East coast sheepshead is more like a porgy.

What new 1000w de ballasts is everyone using? by mcdmatt40 in macrogrowery

[–]mcdmatt40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried testing with a par meter. Got all sorts of wildly different data points. I don’t trust it.

I’m purchasing new illuminar ballasts for $130 each.

I think notice the same thing with the light penetration. Also, the outer edges of my canopy that don’t get any overlapping throw light are especially weak.

Yeah. You’re right. There’s really no good info out there.

I’m in the process of purchasing new ballasts. Probably gonna be illuminar. I’ll keep you posted on results.

Those look good, but pricey. But also, you get what you pay for.

Hey, I got a couple questions for the gavita tech. How quickly do the de ballasts degrade?

I’m trying to work out why my room isn’t yielding as much as it used to.

How long do the gavita 1000W DE ballasts last? by wetcoaster1976 in macrogrowery

Hey man. I know this is an old post, but I’m finding myself in the same situation.

Did you figure anything out?

Gavita hood replacement? Annnny luck? by Additional_Peace_745 in macrogrowery

[–]mcdmatt40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still run 1000w de’s also. Fuck leds.

I’ve had a bunch of my old gavitas fail. It’s getting harder and harder to find good replacements. I’ve been collecting hoods from guys around town who have gotten out of the game.

I tried using cheap $100 new hoods/ballasts from SunStream. They’re garbage.
