    outdoors Fish & Shits

    I'm actually impressed by the speed at wich boarding goes. It was already looking like that yesterday at noon so the village DID appear overnight. That being said, ice fishing is a religion around here and many people are fervent believers. Boarding began 2 weeks after the fishing season opened...

    You're telling like it can be done otherwise, that's possible? Boarding began this saturday, here is what it looks like this morning at 7:30 and -32° (C and F).

    water Bioavailability of Calcium/Magnesium in hard tap water

    Short answer : no stirring won't help. In the case of Ca/Mg, heating wil do even worse (that being said simply boiling water could be a simple way of softening your water if counter ion is carbonate, at the expense of a scaled boiler. If its something else it won't help) As for pH, wait a few...

    water Bioavailability of Calcium/Magnesium in hard tap water

    Well although my chemistry is excellent, i'm still new and learning in the hydroponic field and i don't know what's in your water so i can't really tell you what would work or not. What i CAN tell you is that calcium in hardwater and calcium in calmag is the exact same thing, the thing is that...

    water Bioavailability of Calcium/Magnesium in hard tap water

    Dissolved calcium and magnesium will always be in the form of Ca(or Mg)2+ ions no matter what source they come from. Problem is that many calcium and magnesium salts are poorly soluble and will readily precipitate out of solution, wich will obviously render them completely unavailable. Excess...

    overwintering Overwintering, dormant plants question

    When i entered my peppers indoors i soon found out they had aphids (no surprise here). I began spraying them with insecticidal soap every few days, it kept the infestation under control but never eradicated them completely. I then decided to up my game and heavyly sprayed them everyday for a...

    heat Extraction gone wrong?

    Short answer : purifying it further will be very complicated and yield will be VERY low. Working on making a better extraction is your best bet. Type 'nile red capsaicin' on youtube. You will find many clues there. Basically water is your worst enemy in this fight. Acetone would be a good...

    heat Extraction gone wrong?

    Most lab grade ethanol is not denatured, because denaturants can screw reactions and/or end up in extracted product wich would scew analysis. It is normally clearly written if it is denatured or not. Problem with lab grade undenatured ethanol is they don't sell it like that to anybody. In fact...

    Gambleu's 2022 winter pepper

    Most went into a fermented habanada/peach sauce wich is fantastic ( wife sais she would drink it). I really liked the few that i munched but i never chewed an actual habanero to compare. Those are not totally heat free. There is a liiiiiiiiitle heat in the placenta. My kids can definitely feel...

    overwintering Extending the season - peppers everyday?

    Hardiness zones aren't about the average low temps. They are about lowest temp usually encountered. It doesn't take into account any other factor, and there are many others that will make a climate suitable for a plant or not. Accordingly, zones are good only to aknowledge if a plant will be...

    heat Extraction gone wrong?

    Try diluting your extract back with a little alcohol it should be hot as hell again. Your crude extract is full of waxes and oils and other shit. Those are probably preventing capsaicin from interacting with your receptors

    heat Extraction gone wrong?

    Right. I guess it's been way too long since i played with my distillation kit.... That being said vapors of both are dangerously flammable.

    heat Extraction gone wrong?

    First 150 proof is too weak to properly extract capsaicin 25% water is too much for such a nonpolar compound. 90-94% ethanol shouldn't be too hard to find. Other variables of interest is your grind (The finer the powder the better the extraction), temperature (extraction will be much faster at...
