Ack,
Rob you should use the test tube caps when you shake up the test tubes rather than your finger since you can actually affect the test accuracy when you use your finger to cap it. And some of the test reagents are not very good for your skin either.

Yeah, technically I should but I haven't seen any differences in the results and my hands are calloused enough where if it did bother the skin, it doesn't. :roll: I think I spilled more of the solution popping on & off the stupid caps! :D

This is the easiest and cheapest way I've found to eliminate powdery mildew on my plants. It has never failed me! I'm doing this in the aquaponic greenhouse, but this can be done indoors or any regular soil garden.

Baking Soda... Sodium BiCarbonate... works the same way that (EcoRose/EcoFungicide)...Potassium Bicarbonate does...

I prefer the Potassium BiCarbonate...as it doubles as a foliar application of Potassium... :wink:

Excellent point....but it's easier for me to steal a little bit from the kitchen once in a while. :D I'll add a note to the description of the video about the potassium. Thanks.

:notworthy: The most frightening part, for me, was that it was all done in a year and a half and (ok, two frightening parts) and you did it on your own whilst ( ok, three frightening parts ) filming and editing it all AND ( ok, four frightening parts) you are presumably working to get all the money. :notworthy: :support: :notworthy: :notworthy:

This is a time-lapsed video showing me building a deep water culture (DWC) bed and a media bed. For details about the entire build, please see this video series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loW1SMHVEe8&feature=share&list=PL2402DC95ADAFA04E

It’s a bit longer run than I expected, but here are the details on how I added some major enhancements to the Rocket Mass Heater! The fish are much happier now! :thumbleft:
