InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

My first response to that is - of course it was higher... you made it infinitely more dissolvable by grinding it. Yes?

But I don’t know anything about the kind of nutes you use. If it were an organic soil thing, with minerals added - you want the balls and the fines in the mix becasue they are available sooner and later, respectively.

WHen you used to use it before this grinding caper (looks great by the way!), did the calcium balls end up in the pot or stuck in the watering can?

You’re always so quick to read - I edited...

I thought of that but the balls completely dissolved before. What is different is that whatever air was in the balls is now gone. But that would make me think I would need less volume to hit 5 grams rather than more.

[I got the edit when I hit reply!]

 

[Amy Gardner]

Ok then - yes that too. Finer the powder, the more you get in any volume becasue of the reduction of space within particles.

That sounds like something that makes sense... I’m pretty high...

But explain that part to me... then ... oh, hang on - ok now I’m seeing it (you gotta want it...) hmmmm

was on my bug pic last year then

BTW - this pic always makes me feel a bit queasy

This is why I linked it and didn't insert it! You couldn't resist a shed-link, could you. Good thing I didn't Rick-roll you!

So to update my seed bank questions from yesterday so far both ace seeds and Seedsman got back to me and the both replied saying they use national shipping companies. (Fed ex ups dhl) So yeah, guess I’ll be supporting our sponsers indirectly lol, I’m still buying there seeds in the long run just not directly from them. Gonna stick with true north for the Canadian prices, the fact they will deliver to my P.O. box 30 feet from my house, and that for 20 bucks I can get guaranteed shipping and tracking, and if order doesn’t make it they will resend free of charge...
Thanks everyone for the help, didn’t expect that many replies.
Thanks Shed, sorry again for the hijacking of a couple of pages

Glad it got sorted Stu, may your seeds grow true and your germination be flawless.

Huh. I had no issues getting my order shipped up from SHN in Oregon... didn’t have to pay any customs... just paid the shipping fees and the exchange rate and it was on its way here, no hassles whatsoever.

If you want to stay within Canada, Hemp depot is a good one and accepts e-transfers as well from Canadian clients/banks.

learn something new every day! Now that I know about it (thank-you ?), the word asinine comes to mind

My fave find in that tangent tho’ ... from wiki...

spokesperson for Astley's record label released a comment which showed that Astley's interest with the phenomenon had faded, as they stated, "I'm sorry, but he's done talking about Rickrolling".[5]

It's a pretty old trick (2007) at this point so I can see why he's over it!

 

[InTheShed]

Nothing today except I want to make a note that I raised the wattage in the shed to 330 and raised the light for wider coverage. I'm around 45,000 lux in the center (656 PPFD).

Everybody is indoors today. Hoping for a warmer overnight so the flowering ones can stay put! We'll see .

 

[MrSauga]

OK so I'm confused with the balls. I would think that if you measured 5mL of balls, then crushed them up, you would have less volume, maybe 4mL of powder because of the voids created by the balls.

 

[InTheShed]

That was my expectation as well. I'll put new batteries in the scale and try it again tomorrow.

 

[Agemon]

You're not weighing the air when you weigh the balls. The air between the balls is not compressed and therefore has no measurable weight, to the scale itself.

Think of an air tank, it's lighter when it's empty, but fill with compressed air and weighs more.

Indeed. If I have a beach ball that is inflated it may take up 4 square feet (volume) and weigh 1 pound. If I deflate the beach ball, it takes up a much smaller space but still weighs only 1 pound. So my powder should require fewer ¼ teaspoon "servings" (volume) to get to 5 grams (weight), but it took more.

 

[Agemon]

There are pockets of air within the balls as well? Tiny as they may be would be compressed as well? Therefore adding weight?

 

[InTheShed]

There may be tiny pockets of air in them like perlite, but either way I can't figure out why it takes more volume to get the same weight now. Like I said...unless my scale is off. Stay tuned!
