It's about particle size and applies to both soil and soil-less mediums.
A very interesting read if you've got the time.
The comments section is almost as good as the main body.

Al is the man.
Though he uses the word "soil" a bit loosely. :roll:
He really likes Dyna-Gro foliage pro.

Thanks. So you dont dilute it at all before spraying? Just mix the 20ml of Silver stock solution into the 80ml STS stock solution and use that to spray? Seems super strong but hey if it works...

Correct, don't dilute. It does toast existing leaves a bit, but nothing that seems to slow it down. I was surprised how fast the "balls" appeared.

basically what is everyone storing it in and where do you get them

I use little 2 ml plastic vials with screw-on caps. You can find them on Amazon.

I've kept pollen viable for extended periods by storing it in these vials, with a grain or two of rice, tucked in the back of my freezer in a bag. I'm sure there's less primitive, more effective methods but this works well for me.

My other plan fell apart, i'm just going to order the whole setup from the grow depot. I appreciate the offer though.

Tried to save some money with this Rain Bird manifold, I'm at $85.... Not really saving anything, I might as well spend the extra $30 get the 12x trays 12x pads, 12x half circle drippers and have a more efficient system.

right now I got a res and a water pump to look at until this shit gets here.

Long story short, fuck rigid tubing, spent the better part of this morning trying to accurately cut and straighten the garbage before I threw it all back in the box.

Just not my day, I went off homedepots website dimensions for this HDX Tote and the website said 21" so I cut my PVC at 24.... it was 21cm they have the units wrong on their website. Totes bang on 12 inches deep... fuck it all lol. (edit: The fucking conversion isn't even right..)

Here's how I plan on doing my tubing though now that I'm done boohooin :)

SUCKS about the tote and all but your tubing setup is inspired!!! That's art :clap:
Where did get the tubing and what size? Guessing 1/8"?

That's not my picture. I stole it from the interwebs :) It was originally tagged as Wire management but I'm pretty sure those are standard R/O Tubes by the looks of them so 1/4" OD.

Can get them all sorts of colours and they are drinking water safe. My only issue with RO tubing is it's rigid. I like the FloraFlex tubing way better than any sort of rigid tubing.

I've used loads of different tubing, from Black air line to Orbits rigid and flexible varieties, Rainbirds tubing shit out of cheapy drip kits. Floraflex has the best tubing hands down. It's thick, feels really well made andflexible enough to get around neatly without being like wet noodle limp. It's great stuff. I'd definitely recommend it over everything else i've used.
