There's a big dispute with the unions at the L.A. Port, they said on the news yesterday instead of taking two days to unload a ship it's now taking nine days. The longshoremen said they have cut back the number of workers unloading.

I had to look it up the other day when ordering, wanted to make sure, I wasn't going to wait 2 months for my order........ get your orders in! I have heard horror stories about ordering just before and during the New Year.....

Again on the news today and the longshoreman they interviewed said all the ports in Cali all the way to Washington are affected. Each side is blaming the other. The port authority's claim they're trying to streamline things but claim the longshoremans Union is withholding critical workers. The longshoreman say that's bullshit and they want to provide enough workers to do the job right. The longshoreman say changes made have made things worse. They say things are going to get worse.

Yeah it's hard to say if unions are good or bad. But no one is going to take the blame on either side of any issue ever

It'll be hydro. I may eventual experiment with shallow water culture vs nft vs low pressure aero/nft

Not sure what hoagland is. My current setups are aquaponics and I want to see how the various set ups work with that. It's part of the reason I'm not going for hp aero. Too likely to clog

Back on page 3 has the two indoor setups.

The pvc system doesn't have enough light do stretchy cloth like lettuce. It'll will be replaced.

Best source for plugs? Didn't think about the drivers not having them.

Could each light be ran into a post and use one plug for each post?

I wired one up. About 30 minute run time and the heat sink was pretty warm to the touch but not too hot to touch.

Thinking I need to get one of those thermometers. I saw supra say something about a baby thermometer?
