You are gonna love the hydro flood tables. You can easily to 4 per sf if you are going to SOG, 6 inch square pots are great. It is awesome to be able to move plants around on the fly for even growth and especially if you have any bugs or fungus/mold issues. Makes things a lot easier. My fav medium is a 75/25 vermiculite and perlite blend with some rockwool at the bottom of the pots to keep everything inside. I saw your question in the Nugg thread, sorry I've been busy with the latest harvest, but I'll get to it soon...

I just learned all about vermiculite and perlite from Gardner Scott :D

System is finally up an running again. Still just testing for a couple of hours. No leaks! Had to fix some connections by the breaker but other than that everything has been smooth sailing.

Gotta make some holes on the lid of the reservoir. It's a very closed system. Almost popped the lid off when I first pressurised it. Was swelling before I removed the steel ring/strap. Lol :o

Clean looking room. How many rolls of tape did it take to cover those buckets?

My new Galaxy ballasts are supposed to be delivered today. I went and checked last night to see which ones to replace first, and one of my old ballasts was hot as a pistol. The fan had stopped working. I blasted it with some compressed air and it started working, but glad I caught it, and that is why I'm updating!! No fires please!!!!

Need to do a res change today also, but damned it's nice out...Need to rake leaves too.

I bought one of those posture corrector braces at the drug store last night. No matter what I do I can't seem to shake off this shoulder pain. I never realized how much I slouch until I was forced to sit up strait, I'm like an inch taller lol.

Also consider your pillow, too soft or too firm and position. I used to sleep with 2 pillows until about 6 yrs ago when I developed upper back and neck pain. I dumped one and things got better. I've also found that when winter comes and it's colder I scooch further under the covers; if I don't drag the pillow with me then neck starts hurting.

We rode bikes twice last week and I've been dealing with issues with my right shoulder ever since. Since covid the wife and I haven't been as active and I think that has caused my upper core muscles to be imbalanced. I blame RIU, to much time hunched over the computer commenting on peoples plants rather than pedaling and paddling boats.

Some PT would be good probably...If you have the stretchy bands there are like 4-5 basic stretches they always have you do in PT for shoulder injuries, and that's my "go to" when mine start hurting...I have been doing them here lately and getting some relief. But yes, shoulders heal slowly! Keep it moving though.

I called today and asked for my MRI results over the phone, instead of driving back up there. Waiting for a call back.

The last time I rode my hand was numb by the end of 6 miles...that's when I decided to see a doctor.

Bike season is done here for a while anyways, except for the stationary one in my basement, lol...and that is zero fun!!

I was gonna rake leaves at my rental today and was like nope, not with this shoulder, and the kids don't give a shit if they get raked or not.

We have like six pillows on our bed, but I only use one. For the past week the only way I'm comfortable is laying flat on my back without a pillow or laying in the bathtub with the water as hot as I can tolerate it. If I sit for more than a few minutes I get shooting a pain that starts under my shoulder blade and goes under my arm and across my chest on the left, it's even worse in the car. It feels like there's a band under my skin that's being pulled tighter and tighter. I have a whole new level of respect for people with chronic pain that work and carry on with life like nothing is wrong. I think there might actually be something messed up, I've never had muscle pain that I couldn't shake off after a day or two at most. I've been avoiding going to my doctor with covid raging but I think I have to go soon just for my sanity.

That sucks I'm sorry, but I'm kinda jealous of the bike rides. The season is over for us for another four or five months unless you're one of those psychopaths' who ride in the winter. Got to get yourself a balance ball to work on your core.

I workout for thirty minutes in the morning mainly resistance and light weights, but haven't done anything since last Thursday. I'm afraid of making it worse than it already is. My GP will probably refer me to a PT if it's something she can't address. Our health care system is a little wacky where you can't go to a PT or any specialists without a GP referral otherwise you have to pay for it out of pocket.

Will they'll give you the test results over the phone? Usually with an MRI they want to go over the imaging with you, maybe zoom?

You should go get checked out. Have you tried epsom salts in your bath water? It's not just for plants ;)

I'm planning on seeing how it feels on Monday and making the call then if I need to. I'm really not fond of the idea of being around sick people at a doctor's office. My bath bombs have epsom salt in them. I think I'm gonna go lay in there now. lol.
