Oh yeah... I got that one in hard copy. On da shelf. Denzel Washington is a badass. It came as half a two pack, the other one is Fallen... Also highly recommended!

Okay, so in the spirit of making and showing my mistakes so that others don't make them, here's a pic of the plants very much on the road to recovery after a couple of weeks with, as it turned out, two bad batches of nutrients. The stock solution I made had been sitting for a long time, many months. It clearly went off and the two batches I made from it clearly did the plants no favors.
A couple of days ago (after dealing with some personal stuff, see above for @Joebud and his inimitable commentary lol), I mixed up a fresh batch of stock solution and made fresh nutrient solution with it.
The plants have exploded since then. You can see the crispy leaves but they've been superceded by a complete set of fresh leaves in just a couple of days. They're greening up strongly and clearly all is back on track!
I'll give them a few days to get rolling again and remove the leaves they don't want to save, clean up most of the side shoots and use those as clone stock to sex the plants.
After that, they'll move to another table where they'll keep getting the same nutes but they'll have more headroom. Again, I'm not concerned about the setback because by the time these girls are big enough for the trellis, all this will be a distant memory.
But I do want to point out that part of being a good grower is working out what's going wrong and handling the situation without panicking or throwing the batch out and starting over. Every golfer finds the sand trap now and again; what separates the best from the rest is how they recover.
been working on my aloe plants for the beanies !
a piece of wood clamped to the lid, will leave a smoother cut thru the lid. i did this when i did a 5 gal. lid for collars to make a cloner!not my idea someone else gets credit @ unknown/can't remember!
run the drill slow so the lid don't melt and stick in the teeth

Yes. It mixes, aerates and churns the water's surface to prevent scum from forming. This is the answer to air pumps and stones and why I won't use them.

Still going... I've had some personal issues but they're still plugging away.
