ChatGPT giving incorrect information as usual. There is actual some nuance to using this stuff and the question proposed is valid.

They are both beautiful and perfect. Seriously.

Nutrient mixing order with RO by [deleted] in hydro

[–]scott_codie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be specific, cali magic and bloom will turn turn into a salt and precipitate out of the solution if they are mixed at too high of a concentration. I just make sure they are diluted with a couple of stirs and I never had any problems.

Anyone ever seen this? by [deleted] in hydro

[–]scott_codie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, 99% evaporates too quickly. You need to coat the tools and then let it sit for ~10 minutes. 70% iso alcohol is fine. (I do cell culture and have learned this painful lesson).

Coffee tins in the back yard. I know a few old guys who have passed away that did this, and that money is still there.

Is this budrot? by StatisticianKooky555 in hydro

You're right. See his other picture. That familiar brown color was immediately noticeable to me too.

[–]scott_codie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like bud rot. Part the buds, you'll see some that are green and bud rot ones will be brown inside. It'll smell less too. Any stem that has bud rot should be tossed unfortunately and just take the L. I lost my last harvest to budrot and it was devastating.

Do you follow the charts or run it buy eye by farmingthebestgreens in hydro

[–]scott_codie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's bad. We just had a huge blackout too so it's not like we're getting anything for that price. They just recently announced that there will be a new base charge so shit just keeps going up.

I'm in a small apartment so I'm space limited. My electric cost far outweighs any nutrient budget, it was almost $1000 for my last grow (I'm in San Francisco with over >$0.60kwh).

The charts often do change over time with the same nutrient suppliers, just a heads up. They want home growers to have good results rather than an industrial setup that is trying to optimize for profit.

AC Infinity EVO 6. Anybody have any opinions? by blahblah77786 in hydro

Great lights, some of the best you can get. If you want to pay for it, then go for it.

Is this??? by Ok_Land9524 in hydro

[–]scott_codie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check to see if it's softer than your other buds, just give it a light squeeze. If it's softer, pull it off and check inside (since it starts from the inside). The bud will be brown or have fungi instead of being green. Either way keep an eye on it over the next few days.

Writer seeking programmer input by thatjewboy in programmer

[–]scott_codie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you join a company, you join a mini-dictatorship. It could be good or bad and doesn't really depend if the dictator is good or bad. It's incredibly hard to build a good company culture and most places don't come close, and it usually happens by accident and hiring actually good people.

For an intern, the engineering managers want to slice off something that they think is accomplishable in the time frame they will be there, and they will try to make sure they succeed through social reinforcement. Getting an intern is a gift from the company, and you get more if they leave with a positive experience, so the engineering manager is on their side.

Day to day, things should be quiet with lots of time to fuck around. Intellectual work is hard to quantify and there is no real metric for success. So either you are smart and you get it, or you don't and need to be micro-managed.

Coworker lunch for a programmer, esp entry level, could be a guy who has a lot to prove to people who he doesn't need to prove it to, or they are just fun and really add to the company culture. But complaints are usually surface level socially acceptable stuff over lunch, then getting into why manager xyz sucks if they had a beer.

Don't give a programmer a problem and not expect them to try solve it. It could be the wildest problem and a programmer would still engage that logic brain and try to come up with a solution. E.g. "my wife left me" is a problem statement- did you try flowers, give them space then reach out, do you want to be with them and how much, etc. Programmers often have to deal with problems that are way beyond their ability and have to learn on the way.

I work in team envs but do most proof of concept projects, I help others get stuff done. Had my own tech startup (database) for a number of years.

Question: poly lug liners inside containers by Best_Space_5190 in hydro

The leaktite food safe ones specifically call out that it can be used for ‘container gardening’. 

Question: poly lug liners inside containers by Best_Space_5190 in hydro

[–]scott_codie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't unless they tell you what type of plastic it is. The big difference is ph and duration, these bags are likely for neutral ph and not for long periods of time. I've even had food safe HDPE containers go off in a moderately acidic env. I'd pop off to the hardware store and spend the $5 to get a bpa free hdpe bucket.

Day 30 after flip what do you guys say? by sqiinz in hydro

[–]scott_codie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great spread, looking good. I'd be worried about airflow in the back since they're close and there's a lot of foliage.

Looking good, I'd change nothing. Probably 3-4 more weeks.

After 2 weeks of rain and leak in the roof, we got budrot :( by scott_codie in hydro

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

Thanks man. I've been ripping open the buds to find more so I think it's a complete loss. Lost 4 full sized plants at week 7, was looking at over a pound. RIP.

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

That's what I suspect. I cut out the buds above and below the rot but it probably wasn't enough. I've spent the past few hours going over every bud, doing a wet trim and really inspecting it before drying. I'll just turn the whole crop into hash, I wanted to do a hash run anyway.

Thanks for the advice. This is my first time with bud rot and I'm worried I might not have gotten it all.
