I bought one gram of hash from one of the San Diego clubs once ... it was some of the best hash I've ever had. It cost $35 a gram and was well worth it.

Med ... Have you converted over to RO water? Sound like you have with the "pure H20 comment you made." That one change is well worth the extra expense.

Yup, my tap water was 700 PPM. I have a water store a few blocks from me that sells water for 16 cents a gallon. I take 3-5 gallon buckets once a week and fill them. the guy charges me 2.40. The hardest part is lugging those buckets home. I believe those buckets to hold more like 6-7 gallons, they are the large chlorine buckets from my pool and they are heavy for an old fart. I cant believe that this one giant plant drinks 15 gallons of water a week, The root ball is 5-6 feet long and 6 inches in Diameter, amazing. I am using two pumps and 4 stones, so there's lots of aireation going on and some of it may be evaporation, but 15 gallons+ a week is still amazing. I believe I let the plants go too far in veg, wont let that happen again. this one of two survivors (The other 4 were males) has taken over my little closet and is 6 ft tall and 5 feet accross, buds everywhere. These will be a bunch of smaller buds instead of a few big ones, but the end result will be the same, kick ass pot.These are seeds from the widow and her boyfriend, the midnight stranger. Be interesting to see what they taste like. I've thought about putting some orange or lemon extract into the water, but don't want to ruin a good thing.
