How is all the cooking going for her?

She's in baking classes right now so she's been making muffins, scones, coffee cakes, and cookies so far - and it's only week 2 for this class!

She's been experimenting a lot at home and hasn't made anything inedible yet.

@tbrown you set up any hydros units yet?
Click to expand...
Yeah. I've been running the X3 since early December. I added the Minnow as a controller a few weeks ago but haven't used it for dosing or anything yet.

Tonight I installed the Hydros wall in the stand and hung all the controllers but didn't have time to rewire everything so I haven't turned the rest on yet. Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday I'll find time.

Just got the WaveEngine and a Gyre 2k today so I need to get that running as well

Good for her and that's sounds fattening and wonderful!
Baking is a true art form that most people can never do well.
Give her my best I think that's really really cool.

I've been threatened with that. Most of the Café has threatened to kidnap me and take me to Vegas as well. Hopefully they don't happen at the same time... :thinking-face:

Lemme know what you think! I really like the hydros but flip flop on the Apex as well.. you got ph monitoring? I wonder how accurate it is

I'll definitely break my diet and road trip to Arizona just for one baked good....

Pretty sure your road trip to Arizona isn't a week long endeavor like it would be for me. That is unless I give up sleeping for 3 days lol
