Use a small fan to barely get them wiggling a little. That'll give them some exercise and build up their stocks.
Use a toothpick so they have something to lean on until then
Your point has been well-noted. Thank you for your extensive explanation, facts and evidence, and very thought out opening and closing statements in support of your findings.
You are a true master in the art of grammar :D
But those lines and emitters are sooooooo cheap and easy to swap out when you clean between grows. Forgot to make that point in my post.
If you've got a system you've got tuned, and know how it works inside and out, then thats a different situation.
New cars generally don't start breaking down within the first few thousand miles. The thing about aero, IMHO, is that there are parts that can fail more easily...if not maintained. You stay on top of any system and you'll most likely have success.

Why don't you go with something really simple, but with excellent results, such as General Hydroponics' Maxigro/Maxibloom. I've been growing via RDWC for 12 years, and it's what I still use.
