Cats have the homing instinct, like birds. She'll find her way back.

she needs to go out . just not in those circumstances . she gets scared easily . she be scared to come back the same way i imagine

Yeah I know it.. its forsure hell.. I have degenerative disk disease, with to bulging disks.. l4 and l5 that press into my nerves almost causing me to collapse to the ground from the exploding electrical jolts... my thighs feel numb all the time.. a weird wet sensation..
My sciatic pain runs from my lower back, through my hip and down my leg through my shin.. the pain from my back and hip radiate in to my groin causing alot of discomfort... (like being kicked in the nuts)
The 2 specialists i saw and several doctors said I'm to young for surgery... they said they could do lamectomeys on my disks to release the pain on the nerves.. but they also said my back needs a cage.. they told me to hold of as long as I can because the disks above and below the cage would go bad relatively quick..

Sorry to hear this brother. Just hang in there until you can get the procedure. Ive never heard of a doctor telling someone they're too young for surgery, not as an adult, but atleast you have a plan to move forward with

similar to me . i had m.r.i scans around 15 years ago that showed i had pretrusions pressing nerves, 3 herniated discs and all the cartilage damage and such that goes a long with it . the sciatica i got used to ... the spasms that occur after the disc bulges i find the worst. those sharp shocks etc. i have to use my hands to lift my legs

most nights my legs feel like they are in a hot fire. or my toes

i would like to know the source of the issue. it seems genetic , but i feel that is bullshit . who knows, the specialists don't know so i don't have much chance

osteoarthristis , spondylosis are what labels they gave the damage . i have had the condition since my late 20's

on average my back bulges at a weak point , twtice a year . sciatica is a near daily routine

always decompress , and never sit down is the motto. the moment i forget and start sitting down like normal people , then it goes wrong

in my early 30s i started strengthening the supporting muscles around my injuries . this is a must , regardless of the idea of pain .

mobility is vital too. you must keep it moving , but without stress, and the supportive muscles can keep the spine more stable and act as supports

Crunches are great for exercising the supportive muscles. I try to do them atleast 3 times a week. I get that leg pain at night now too and yeah it sucks. Im about to start eating edibles. hope it helps

Wonder why I'm getting burnt tips after switching to bloom only. I've noticed it before as well. You'd think it'd be less likely with the reduction in nitrogen. Just a case of changing too late?

 

[shiva82]

what were using prior ? a veg and bloom formula together ? and removed one , and then matched the ec? what brand and formula? tips can be irregular waterings too , or humidity issues , could be many things . if it is sudden and re occuring when you are altering something and it is working fine before the switch, just go back to what was working

we had a heat wave here and it did similar to a few of my strawberries , but through low humidity and radiant heat issues . they will be happier this week

Yeah from 50:50 veg:bloom to all bloom staying with the same EC. TA NovaMax.

But hmm humidity you say.. I've been running the dehumidifier now to drop the RH to about half. But I think it's better to keep it running burnt tips or not because without it it's at like 80%.

 

[shiva82]

what about waterings and root health?

 

[shiva82]

i would be giving a them a root inspection

 

[goingrey]

It's the plants in the hydro system.. The roots are a jungle in their own right in there, I fear more problems from damaging them with a check than I could fix with an inspection at this stage.

 

[goingrey]

It's not too bad but obviously this isn't the goal..

sounds like a root issue to me . just leave it then , and it could be numerous things without directly being with the plants . with the high temps . could just be formula change as you initially thought . in hydro you should always check roots . do you use hydroguard type product , or ionic liquid oxygen to keep everything clean and sterile ?

i would not even worry about minor tip rusting

 

[shiva82]

and stick with the o.g recipe that worked

Nah I don't. Just FlashClean that I actually ran before the previous rez change and could even be the issue, it dissolves fertilizers that have crystalized and so on...

Maybe I should buy some of that liquid oxygen though, 12% hydrogen peroxide.

Hmm maybe but going back to a more nitrogen-heavy feed to deal with the issue seems counterintuitive. I'll keep an eye on it, maybe reduce the EC a bit.

i'm just making suggestions as to what may of happened based on the evidence given . just possibilities , and nothing definitive
