B727 - my intention was to relate the best way to handle it, not to make you think your plants were doomed if you deviated an iota. Sorry if I failed.

I think there is another element at play here which I see often as an outsider to the conversations
Ray gets attacked A LOT by random people who seem to just want to prove that SH doesn’t work or is a fluke. As a result, I see Ray always preaching the IDEAL way to execute the culture. This makes complete sense give that
1) the culture DOES work so stop attacking it,
2) Ray is bound to be, even unconsciously, protecting the SH culture by hoping it is done perfectly so there aren’t more people out there who are complaining and talking Sh1t about SH when they are not even doing it correctly, and
3) There is no tone or inflection on the internet and you simply cannot tell if something is soft as a suggestion or hard like a command...the words can be the same
Cheers all

I agree with most of what you say, DC. Except Ray knows I'm not attacking him personally and not just arguing it doesn't work. Obviously, as I grow almost exclusively SH. I was discussing "absolutes" vs "works" for a newbie (that's you 727) which was the info this particular person was seeking.
Yes, I agree Ray vehemently protects SH techniques, as he does get a lot of bashing from folks regarding semi-hydro... giving "absolutes" advice that it doesn't work vs. "absolutes" advice that you must follow some basic format in order for it to work.
And new person B727 gets to see Ray and WaterWitchin carry on with each other... yet another rare siting of the Bill Nye vs WaterWitchin keyboards at play!

i was not saying you were attacking him WW, just that a lot of randos create accounts to just attack his culture and so i know I would get careful about being very strict with my advice...
jerks, they salt us all

There's a boxing fight emoji... I find it highly unsatisfying...
And yes, DC, I know. You could probably be a mediator when ya get tired of lawyering.
