You know what i hate?

Damnit. You said cocoa. Never mind all that stuff about coco.
But still. Reuse coco.

I have to wash mine because of the way the plants deal with feeding from the bottom. They push all the binding salts in the nutrients to the top of the medium. Gawd it's messy to clean. Perlite was everywhere. Now I have extra stored in a tote, that has condensation under the lid, and I wonder about mold.

 

[Bluey]

I can get that bit of salt build up on top also but the root balls are an issue for me. They pretty much fill the pot and you could say even root bound so I don't get much coco out of the old pot. I wash it, new and old till it runs clean, turn it a few times to help dry it out and give it a low dose calmag.

I try and get all the old roots out.

 

[golfnrl]

Yeah, its the same for me. The root balls take up most of pot. Cleaning out the roots takes a little bit of effort, some of the smaller roots look like coco fibres. I wash mine in a strong cal/mag solution after everything gets a thorough wash with cleaned PH'd water. Probably don't have to PH the rinse water but my mild OCD won't let me not do it. Yes, I PH the cal/mag solution as well. I've noticed that some of the smaller coco gets washed out in the rinse.

Winter in NY, I've had enough of the shit

 

[Rwise]

Yep the sprout was about 3" long, I hate tree rats!
BTW its a cocoa shortage not a coco shortage.

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

Same here. Ice and wind suck.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Uhh... yeah. Totally my bad on the whole coco/cocoa mix up. Someone must have dabbed me a Sativa.
Still. Good information, wot?

 

[Bluey]

Yeah. The coco fibres and small roots look identical. Not much you can do about that. I wash the new stuff and the old till I get clean water runoff as that's an EC of 0. I should probably soak it in Calmag but I just couldn't be bothered.

Stationed in the Dakotas for 3 years, Hope i never see it again.

I dislike whiners who cant handle the areas they live in! Wanna know why our elders moved up here? To get away from the lunacy of bigger areas! THIS IS the north country and we LOVE IT! Ive hiked mt marcy twice this year and telemarked down! Its a wonderful winter wonderland!
Guess its just a matter of perspective!

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

I've done Marcy and Algonquin this year, plus a bunch of the danglers. Not a fan of the crowds on the famous peaks. My camp is up just north of Paul Smith's. Was up last week. Do a bunch of x-country. Not a fan winter climbing though. My complaint was about the ice storm and wind taking down powerlines and losing power for a day with single digits. Guess that's just my whiner's perspective.

 

[dirtymike]

Perspective that I aint freezing.

YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE.........

Getting a call from your boss telling you your drivers license is suspended due to a DUI from August that I DID NOT GET!!!! This is 5 days before major surgery and half of my job is driving. Turns out someone got a DUI in the another county that had a SSN 1 digit off from mine and the arresting officer wrote it down wrong AAAND the stupid DMV didn't cross reference the SSN and my name. When it rains it pours.

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

Shit man. Jesus that sucks.

 

[Gingerbeard]

I had to go someplace for an interview with military police or JAG or someone before I went into the army.
I had to convince them I was not, in fact, the skinny black guy who shared much of my personal information in the background check and that I do not, in fact, have a criminal record.

 

[Rwise]

I HATE being overcharged! Just looked at my aep/pso electric bill and they have re-billed for several months I have already paid and added late charges. Now I have to call and argue with them about their lack of ability to keep things straight. Crap like this is why AT&T is not welcome here, they sent me a bill once for $5 for NOT being their customer, and no I did not pay it!

 

[Rwise]

Hope the surgery went well, and they get the DUI fixed.

 

[Bluey]

Only $5 for not being a customer?

That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I loved doing work for large companies.
