It seems to be all around the great lakes. Im on the border of the other town that got 37" (ashtabula county) and the next county over didnt do too hot either. Cleveland is tomorrow and i hear erie Pennsylvania got absolutely hammered yesterday as well. Starting this snow season off with a bang!

Bang is a fact they just sent out warnings sun-thurs 10-15 but they said 2-4 here and we 16 now and not slowing down, T-day travelers are a boo hooing now, My grands left back to Tennessee yesterday am glad they did.

Got some awesome luck with the travel situation there. I hope i get some luck and we dont get much more. Ive gotten too accustomed to the snowblower lifestyle and this driveway is much longer than the last one i shoveled

Iā€™m totally different. No snow, but bitterly cold wind. Leach Lake, in northern Mn, has 4" of ice. Ice fishermen are ecstatic.

Believe it or not Iā€™ve never done it. Even when I reuse it I donā€™t. I guess Iā€™m lucky. But I do water only the last couple weeks so that may help burn up the excess nutes. :v::love_you_gesture:

Hey @Dman1969 ,thatā€™s good to hear, I may not be using the ā€œbufferingā€ term right in context, What I did was, hydrated it with 5.8 phed water with 300 ppm of nutes, saved a solo cup of each nute hydrated coco to do a slurry test in a day or so before I but popped seeds in them.

To add Assume you are in that state thats a nono, surrounded by yes states, that would be cool for a meet in the UP, could give you samples of what I grew, it would keep you in supply for a bit hehehehe. Those Lumes are every where hell In Petoskey where I work there is 2 one on each side of town! @Growmoredank 3 hrs from Escanaba

I also break the rule of waiting for the roots to get established. I turn the pots on when I transplant. The roots are already established and saturated in the solo cup so why wait lol. I havenā€™t had a problem yet :v::love_you_gesture:

You donā€™t buffer coco before first use? Or before reuse?

3 Likes

Neither one and been doin it for a few years now. The coco I use is canna coco professional itā€™s supposed to be pre buffered. But ppl still buffer it but I donā€™t. When I transplant into used coco I run water only the first rez fill. Because there is still nutrients in the coco :v::love_you_gesture:
