Aww that's so sad.. I wish you could still play in your garden. Why don't you take a day off on your birthday or something and run around your gardens doing silly things you wish you had time for. Like LST or pruning or tidying up. Whatever floats your boat. Maybe even grafting
Hahaha. I always wondered why rockwool pissed me off. I barely did any of those things. I've since moved to peat pellets for cloning, which I like better anyways. But if I ever decide to go hydro, I might just do topfeed passive rockwool. I'm only scared of hydro because it's more time, more money, more electricity (hobby gardener
), and way easier to get toxicity/deficiency. Soil is so passive and relaxing. + I'm more interested in going organic and maybe eventually veganic because I don't like accumulating bullshit chemicals from around the world. But I may do a tiny hydro project some day out of curiosity. Who knows maybe I'll like it best.
Thanks.
