MindSoup Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Rent yourself one of these buh. Be careful though, I very nearly ended up with a nail in my jugular using one to fasten 2x4s to I beams. . No more nails is probably a more sensible idea . Edited January 21 by MindSoup 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget that toy, get one of the American things that use bullets to fire nails into walls edit: sorry, I see that is what that is, I didn't think you could get them here?

MindSoup Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 TBF I only ever used one in NZ, so they might not be available here . But yeah, serious bit of kit, drive a 4 inch nail straight into concrete or through 10mm of solid steel. The nails do have a habit of deciding they'd rather fly at you than into the wall though, I eventually refused to use it without a hefty pay rise, I can see why they might not be allowed in certain places.

I use the stuff all the time and it bonds to anything really well not like shitty grip fill, no nails or pink grip Goes off in about 10 mins and won't move after 24hrs Edited January 21 by Revive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I thought they were USA only but it looks like you can get them here too. However it looks like the non-USA ones use a special cartridge whereas in America you can get ones that use standard .22 blank rounds, presumably because you can buy them anywhere easily.

Diddy Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The nail gun and misuse of said item has to be in my top 5 horrific things I have witnessed on a building site. Apprentice joiner "pretending" to fire one at his pal on site. Except he DID activate the thing and a nail did go straight through his pal's kneecap. Put me right off my lunchtime sandwich that did. The worst was seeing a fellow park fall from step ladders no more than 4-5 feet....landed on his elbow which didn't take it too well...bone sticking out the lot. The arm was gone within 24 hours and the building site looked like a scene from CSI....horrific stuff. One of the questions I was asked as a witness was "Was X wearing his hard hat and safety boots at the time"...To which I replied yes when i saw him he definitely had his safety gear on...like the HH and boots would have saved his fucking arm....Scumbags were already looking for a way out of paying the poor fucker compo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu914 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @ratdog Sounds like you've got a build up in the coco bud, I would flush through with ph'd fresh warm water then check run off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not flush them. Your first action when the run off EC is coming out higher than input is to add more irrigation events, as coco drys up the salt loses its vessel of water until the next irrigation event so the run off EC comes out higher. Add more irrigations, if the run off EC doesnt decrease, then lower your EC input - don't flush them unless its at the end of the cycle, you run the risk of washing away the buffer, so the next time you feed them the media starts drawing nutrients that would otherwise be going to the plant and it leads to tail chasing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdog Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 so, do i lower ec next watering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeydoughnut Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Sort of translating what GSZZ said Water more frequently now they’re drinking more. If more frequent irrigation doesn’t lower the run off then it’s too much food. In that case lower your input EC. i assume they’re getting comfy in the new pots and are suppin up like.

GSZZ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Exactly what Mikey said, keep everything the same just increase the amount of times you're watering them, if run off EC doesn't go down (or not all the way back to input) thats when you can start reducing the input EC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
