I have been using their two part connoisseur line for a while now, and it's generally set and forget. I would refill my bucket back up each morning to the same level, but didn't have to bother with ph, etc., and do a full replacement every 4 days or so. I tried that with aero at first and would quickly see deficiency signs, so then I tried just letting it run down and replacing res when it's low, but that resulted in crazy excess.

I added some additional lighting, which is helping it chew through more food, but the biggest change was refilling my ras back to roughly the same tds values a couple times a day, instead of once a day with a preset volume.

I am surprised you are PH'ing your water while running the ph perfect line. Does that have to do with running the full masters track? I didn't really have luck moving the needle the few times I've tried.

From my understanding, and the marketing propaganda, the surfactants and chelation make everything available for uptake as long as the range is > 4 and < 8ish. I genuinely stopped years ago, but I do miss the control sometimes.

I use the same by happenstance, and have for many grows with my old setup. The biggest issue I was getting is nitrogen abundance, clawing, etc., while seeing obvious signs of calcium/magnesium deficiency at the same time. I would frequently get nutrient burn, but even dialing my res back 10% would result in pink stems (phosphorus deficiency).

I mostly have things stable now, but the damage is done, it looks terrible.. but it's massive so I got that goin for me I guess.

Anyway, ultimately I changed how I was topping up my reservoir and things seem better, I am just not sure if I should try something else or not on the next run.

Very nice, what nutrients are you running in your aero grow? I've really struggled since switching from dwc, thinking something is off with my methodology at this point.

Consequences for Trump?

I think that's a fair assessment, mine isn't all that dissimilar.

My understanding is there were only a few meters between the weight drop and complete communication loss, so either something went wrong directly related to dropping ballast, which caused the implosion, or perhaps cues the sub was in peril were ignored/misinterpreted by the captain, and the weight drop was his ineffective corrective measure.

From what I've read about the captian, I think his hubris would have never allowed him to fully consider they might be in real danger.

That theory doesn't explain why they suddenly dropped ballast and attempted an ascension prior to implosion, though.

E. After doing some digging, the comments about the Titan having dropped weights and was ascending during implosion came from James Cameron. Not sure if that makes it more or less trustworthy...

You have to open with "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo, we're all gonna run a train on you!" Or it's just a plain ole gangbang.

Alleged child molester Kevin Spacey? That Kevin Spacey????

They're not detached, they're playing a different game. The game of the greedy little piggies.

If I give you a raise, well, it just might get out that we give raises around here! Suddenly, I got all these, lazy, do nothing greedy little piggies asking for more money! That 5k becomes 20k, then 50k, etc.! My hard earned slop is drying up quick!

But if I hire someone new, I send the exact opposite message. We don't do raises here, and if you don't like it, we have no trouble replacing you, greedy little piggie!

Even a single red state 'leaving' the US would crush their house majority and deprive them of two senators. No way it happens.

Oh yes yes, consequences aplenty! They are facing a fine of several thousand dollars here! Justice at long last!!

It's always so strange to me that we don't see the same bombastic support from the tankies over news like this, surely this is another genius move which underscores the futility of Western sanctions, right? Another 5d chess move to bring Ukraine to it's knees, or dismantle the petrodollar, surely? 🙃
