Oh boy....Back from the eye doctor with my tip of the day. Wear your protective eyewear in your grow rooms at all times. I was just diagnosed with macular degeneration in both eyes. The doctor seemed pretty concerned. I have to go in for a special scan, and then be seen regularly. He said no more yearly visits, I'll need to be seen much more often, and he started me on a drug today. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!

And of course, he dilated my eyes today...Thank God I took my UV glasses with me so I could drive home.

This getting old shit is not for the meek.

He was quizzing me on all the meds I am on, and I told him about my shoulder needing replacement...He said " I'd hold off on that one as long as you can". That's the 2nd doctor to tell me that. :o

And I'll tell you, mixing 120 gallons of super soil this morning was not smart. I'm gonna feel that tomorrow.

Would you ever consider switching to hydro so you can just pump water around?

Is it ok to be in the grow room without sunglasses if your leds are pointed down and below eye level. Or are you talking hps?

I really don't know. I think MH do the most damage to your eyes, followed by HPS, and LED can too...I use all 3 :P My friend is ALWAYS bitching at me for not wearing glasses in there. I already got the "told you" from him.

Have you done hydro before?
Not really, but kind of...I ran aeroponics a few times....I was always amazed how fast stuff grew in veg,,,I have one of these.


It was actually my very first Amazon purchase, for like $500, and then I wound up getting it free because it arrived cracked. I epoxied it and it is good as new!

But I'd like to try something different...Things can, and did, go south with this setup very quickly.

That's probably what I will try...Just kind of fear flooding my basement, but it won't be the first time!! I can use the bottom tray from my nutriculture even. It's got to be easier than soil.
I fell asleep while filling my res with RO water. Flooded all the way into the den and the floor is still kinda messed up lol.

Never done a soil grow but all that mixing seems like a pain in the ass.
