I swear by ThermaCare patches. They allow me to move more freely when my back is giving me trouble. Mine is chronic though - comes & goes...
How does it feel today? Do you do physios or chiros? Anti-inflams? How on earth did it happen? Looking forward to your next update Buds. Dying to see how your SIP is handling. Get that back better..... gentle yoga even. Yoga With Adrienne on the Youtube is fantastic really. She gives instructions in detail so you can follow without watching for the most part. She has episodes specifically for back stuff. I have chronic back stuff and if I don't do the yoga I suffer. Get better, mate!
Take it easy Buds. Unpopular as it is I'm going to say it anyway. ICE get on some often right on your spine where the issue is.

Feeling much better today. Still a little sore in the lower area. Doc gave me Percocet for it so maybe that's why it feels better. Can't believe the bottle says take 2 pills 3 times per day. I do that & I wont get out of bed. I'm only taking 1 per day & that's working pretty good.
I did get some pics so I'll update here soon. Got to resize & crop first.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Buds.

OK, well this is just a mini update for now. On this grow I'm using @InTheShed Nutrient Calculations. I'm not using the Maxi-Gro at all. I'm using Maxi-Bloom, Alchemist Stout Mono-silicic Acid (Si) & Natures Nectar Nitrogen. I also added 60 gr. of Dynomyco to the soil. Hopefully, I wont have the yellow leaf issue this grow. But I already screwed up a little. I was advised to mix my nutes at the 4.5 gr. level & then dilute it some until the plant was big enough to handle the 4.5 gr.
Ooops..., I forgot to dilute it & filled my res with it. I got a little bit of "N" toxicity. It seems to be clearing up now as it's only in the lower 2 sets of leaves. Newer growth looks better.
Here's a few pics of the 2 plants I have going.
The plant in the SIP will get Topped tomorrow. I'm going to leave 6 main branches on this one to help fill out the 4x4 area. The other one in the 1 gal. I'll up-pot tonight & Top at the 4th node.
By next week I should be able to start LST on them.
I've only Top Fed once in the SIP. I might do it again tomorrow. Res is still 1/2 full after 4 days so it's not drinking much yet.

For my musical friends. Well, I think I'm getting carried away ... lol. Today, I bought the Schecter Hell Raiser, an Epiphone Studio & an Epiphone Standard. Got all 3 guitars for a little over $800. I've also bought a Marshall MG100 hdfx 1/2 stack & a Crate GTX212. Ordered the footswitch for the Marshall & some patch cables for foot pedals today also. I'm already in love with the Schecter Hell Raiser. Killer guitar with EMG's & Floyd Rose. I couldn't beat it for the price. $400 with the case. The guitar alone sells for $1100.
I’m saying this because of past experience, if you can get by with a heating pad yer better off. I was hit on my H-D and started with 5mg Vicodin and then 7.5 to 10 mg loracet to 30mg OxyContin and the world of addiction. Be careful with that crap because it will get you before you know it. CL
Great axe for shredding, especially through a Marshall. CL

Oh I know better. Ex-Junkie so I wont take them for more than 3 days in a row. Don't ever want to end up back where I was 25 years ago. Haven't done anything but smoke weed ever since.I’m saying this because of past experience, if you can get by with a heating pad yer better off.

The guy at Sweetwater keeps emailing & even called me today about financing guitars. I might finance a good Tube Amp.Freaking Guitar Center keeps sending me emails saying I can get that Reverand for no $ down. CL

You can’t go wrong with a Marshall + if you ever decide to sell you’ll get your $ back. CL
Almost forgot to mention that Sweetwater has Reverand Guitars 
. I like the Billy Corgan Zero version the best but they’re all really nice

Buds... you need to have 33-40% perlite (by volume) mixed in your medium. The thing about oxygenation issues is that they are hit and miss and won't show up consistently like a nute issue. Considering it can lead to root rot and a total loss of the plant it does not make sense to take the chance. I'm confident you will have a much better experience with perlite mixed in. I realize this makes organic gardening more difficult when you lose 40% volume of nutrient rich soil but there's no choice in the matter with SIPs. Gotta have the aeration. I wouldn't stress the reservoir until you get that perlite in there and see where you stand. Realize also that your DIY is going to have a different take up rate that the grobuckets and we don't know how wet that planter will actually get so it could be better. I've learned how to build (comparatively) dry SIPs and it's all in the wicking foot.
