Whelp...the deed is done!

You should try the table if your doc or PT say it’s cool. I religiously stretched every day and sometimes it helped and others it made it worse- may have overdone it. The table worked because it opened up my spine, increased the distance between the two vertebrae that were compressed, increased circulation, and after a few months it was healed and back in place. Just start out slow and work your way into a steeper incline and more time. It’s really obvious that your spine is elongating the steeper you go. Blood rushing to your head takes some getting used to. Hope that brings some relief!
 
I think it's pretty good, right?
Thanks for the kind words @DW2!
Probably going to have some hydro questions for you in the future! :)
 
Blowdout2269, after that harvest, I may be asking You the questions (or at least giving you some suggestions on how to easily dispose of it, SEND it TO ME!!! LOL!!)
 
Going2fast - You see, that's what I thought! I really thought it would be alot harder than soil too, but I actually think it's easier. Simple daily checks that take a few minutes and reservoir changes every seven to ten days. Plus DWC is alot more responsive. When u have a problem, you know almost immediately.
 
So with DWC could you leave them be for maybe 4-5 days without having to check them? Long as everything else had stabilized to where you didn’t need to adjust nutrients or lighting? I’m often gone for 3-4 days and it would be great to -set em and leave em- without having to find someone who could check on them everyday.
 
Well, I'd like to say yes. But something strange happened when I left mine unattended for four days. My pH crashed to like 3.5 and they hated it! I found this strange, because that was the only time that I ever had that kinda pH swing. I keep extensive written records and had everything done exactly as weeks prior with no adjustments. It was really just a fluke, or a Murphys Law kinda thing, lol. It was probably the fact that the plant knew I was gone because she didn't get her daily love, so she revolted. 😆
 
Ha, that can happen, even or should I say especially within our own species! 🤣 maybe I’ll try the DWC next time around and see how it goes. Will have to check some tutorials on DWC. Thanks.
 
Ok Franklin - I got some dates for ya.
Popped out of coco plugs in RDWC on 8/25/22
Flipped to flower on 10/15/21
Harvested some tops on 12/16, 22, and 24
Complete takedown on 1/4/23
 
I just topped my tank up this morning. Last time I filled it was last week and the pH was 6.07, this morning before topping it up it was 6.2. Back down now to 6.
I don't use an air stone as I am reliably informed it throws the pH out but it does get mixed really really well in the tank. Growing in coco here.
 
I've heard the same about air stones.
So I would always turn my pump off, do some other work in the room for five or ten minutes, and then take my readings.

Those are interesting comments about the air stones....when I first started I was using an air injection system with coco and had problems keeping my ph below 6.2. Maybe it was the air? Never thought of that but when I changed to just regular containers that problem went away and nothing else had changed. I have noticed that if I leave my pen out it usually reads about 7.5 before I test the nutrients. Hmmmm...
 
Also, I always let the water sit for 15-30 minutes before I mix the nutrients in because all the bubbles throw the PH off, must be the oxygen content...but I never thought the same thing could happen with the air injection.
 
ZigZag yes. Using an airstone will push up your pH....quite a lot over time. I am away from my grow a week at a time and can't afford to get it to 5.8 and come back and find it's 6.5..just won't work for anyone..
I use a rather large mixing paddle in the end of a powerful drill to mix the additives in a 240ltr tank that I only half fill and it saturates the mix with dissolved air also...no point adding more air.
