Those not needing aggregates to support the plant roots - the most widely used term being nutrient film technique (NFT). Nutrient solutions can be made up from straight chemicals such as potassium nitrate and magnesium sulphate or bought ready-made. As plants remove water nutrient solutions get stronger and can become so concentrated or ‘salty’ that roots can be damaged. This can be assessed by testing the electrical conductivity of the solution with a conductivity meter, and adding water as required. However, even with careful monitoring the nutrient balance changes and every two weeks or so it is advisable to discard the solution and make up fresh. The discarded solution can be watered onto garden soil as a fertiliser.

Puberty is the time when your body changes from a child's to an adult's. Puberty happens to girls and boys between the ages of 8 and 16 years and it's a normal part of growing up. Not everybody starts puberty at the same time. Because the symptoms of acromegaly often develop gradually over several years, you may not get a diagnosis straight away. Your doctor may ask you to bring in photographs of yourself that span the past few years to look for the tell-tale gradual changes. Blood tests Similarly, it’s worth pointing out that not everyone can achieve everything. Hard work, dedication and attitude can all contribute to success, but we each have our limitations. What’s more, other factors besides mindset often determine positive results.
