LOL, yeah! I'm just getting started. But I've gotten pretty fast with the 3d stuff so it's not all that big of a deal.
Besides, making the 3d designs is just a lot of fun. So now, I get to build something new

I mix a road trip to Colorado Springs with cash, lol
Hydro-gardens.com makes it, along with a bunch of other crop specific nutrient mixes. They have ag pricing on MKP, calcium nitrate, epsom salt and many more nutrient salts too.
One needn't pick it up in person, they'll happily ship. Tell them I sent you!

She's the owner's wife, and probably a bit old for you.
She engaged me in conversation as soon as she realized I'm a different breed than most of 'those pot kids' who come in declaring their complete ignorance and arrogance about plant nutrition. She especially loathes the ones who ask for things like Voodoo Juice!
They are very knowledgeable people and can provide insight about stock solutions, compatibilty, ratios, shelf lives and much more.

But yeah, i learned more from my first visit talking to some employees than i did my whole first year growing. and its because , like you eluded to; no gimmicks covered by some admittedly alluring artwork to distract from some well needed info & knowledge of plants. you may not relate but personally i just love the place because i always need to learn more about how all this works, and it's just so much easier when i can hear it from another person, whos genuinely enthusiastic, as opposed to reading yet another article or paper silently to myself. (can't read)
And you already know, thats not always something you can get from every dro shop

hey since you're from the southern CO -ish area, I've always wondered why it seems that every single hydroponic or cultivation shop closes at 7 pm? ive asked a few shops. I know hydro gardens closes at five, but that makes sense just because theyre more family. is it just a really solid trend that no one dare deviate from?

I'm in Ft Collins.
I think they close like little mom n pop retailers that they are. We're just used to Walmart hours for everything.
Really, the less you set foot in a 'dro shop the more likely you are to become truly well informed about gardening and the less likely you are to be ripped off by overly inflated prices.
Okay, so maybe she isn't too old for ya!
Of course I can relate! I'm a big fan of people who know what they're doing and can dispense advice that's backed up by decades of first hand experience, as opposed to 'I read it online...'
You know they have a whole catalog full of goodies and if you read it closely you'll find it's a LOT cheaper than the 'dro shop.

I think you meant alluded.
I'm only posting this because you seem like a thoughtful gentleman, capable of eschewing all butthurtedness, which is not a word at all.
Also because I'm a fussy little bitch.A. Vertical is better than horizontal, and nobody claimed vertical trellis was a new idea.So this is something considered new? !
I've been using horizontal and vertical grows to optimize my yields for over a decade. I thought everyone knew about this stuff. But even Ed Rosenthal slagged me when I asked about my DWC experiments back in '01.
I'm strapping my 4 girls into this rig over the weekend and it's my regular way to do my DWC/soilless plants for years.

That's one plant. I'll be rigging a bigger horizontal screen for these 4 hungry girls tomorrow.

2) You're doing vertical poorly.

Hey, at least elude is an actual word! Thanks for sharing the story behind that, it makes me grin. Ttystikk has some background in English pedantry, he will appreciate it. I misspelled holistic once a while back, and he called it out, and I thank him for it.

It was beaten into me. I grew up under a special linguistic curse; not just one, BOTH of my parents were English teachers at Colorado State. Oh, the horror!
