Your co2 looks like a throwback from early 80s… they worked.
Welcome to our happy place. We love growing and showing. Welcome.
That recipe was also wellknown in my navy days at sea.
Boat(s) served on? I was on a couple of carriers doing Westpac exercises back in the 90s and had great fun.
Thank you for your service. I was Army (a medic,) but worked in Naval intelligence (SIGINT) as a civilian for a good 10 years.
@Beanpole welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the Grow Fam my friend. Plants are looking great and nothing wrong with a little home made hooch
One boat, USS Blueback, a few ships, Chandler, Callaghan, Vinncenes. Cruisers and Destryoers, rode alot of various ships, did ORDALTS, ordinance alterations, on all ships fot NAVSEACENPAC.
Miss those days sometimes.
I spent a year working for COMNAVAIRPAC doing logistics in the avionics office. It was a fun job and was the one that got me out to the carriers the most. I’ve been on the Kitty Hawk, Constellation, Independence, Nimitz, and Vinson. All of them were west coast ships in the mid-90s.
Welcome to the neighborhood . Thank you All for your service. @Beanpole your plants are looking great
happy growing

I am big fan of Don and Dianne Shipley.
He is a retired Navy SEAL, and they are great Americans.
I had the honor of meeting Don’s son DJ. I used to hang out and drink at a place in San Diego (Coronado, actually) named McP’s Irish Pub, which was owned by Greg McPartlin who was a Vietnam era SEAL. McP’s is just a half-mile or so from NAB Coronado where the west coast teams are based and a lot of them drank there on the weekends. I met a boatload of SEALs there.
I’ve watched a few of Don Shipley’s YT videos and am glad he is taking down the fakes publicly.
DJ has been on Shawn Ryan’s show a time or 2. It’s a good watch. Shawn’s channel is doing incredibly well and he runs a great show with almost 2M subscribers. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
Kidd destroyers drafted deeper than Spruance class Destroyers, thus we tied up at Coronado for most of the 80s. They finally dredged out piers 8 and 9 at 32nd street.
When one boasts, brags, about oneself, its to come off tough to be feared, no thing more,
Karma normally takes care of those, i try to offer vets a resource for info from vets to vets, not paid employees.
Yep. They expose phonies, but all that helps vets do what?
Did you ever check out McP’s? I had a lot of fun there. I think Greg opened it in the early 80s.
Greg left us a few years ago. I think his son owns it now. Last time I was there was last April. I don’t drink much any more, but the bartenders I knew still work there so I stop in when I can.
The only thing I would recommend is to get rid of the Miracle Gro and get you some cannabis friendly soil that wont tank your pH every time you water.
Coast of Maine
Ocean Forest or Happy Frog
Indicanja Living Soil by Purple Cow
Roots Organic
Mother Earth
and I know there are quite a few other good soils to choose from.
