I hope the back surgery went well! I've been there and it's no fun. Best wishes to you and especially Mrs. Shovel.

Your new grow sounds really nice so far! I've just started mine too - have a Cannatonic, Chocolope, Tangerine Dream, and Blue Cheese (feminized). Trying to re-veg my Widow and Pineapple Express. Widow looks really sad. The new babies however look really good.
