    Following up on last week's Hydroponics Community Chat... I was out of town and could not participate live but just watched the recording and all I can say is WOW!!! Huge thank you to the topic specialists and all participants for the wealth of resources, support, and encouragement shared during this Chat!

    The recording is attached (and the Zoom chat text transcript since there were a lot of tips shared there).
