These visual guides you're doing are awesome. I wish documents for work were this informative. One of the best documents I've ever seen in this hobby. You're very talented.

Thank you!

I'm glad that you all are liking it!

@wet: really appreciate your kind words. I am hooked to this forum but was always facing a problem. Before getting to the solution, I had to run through 200-300 posts before i could get the information. Being a designer, i thought to give it a shot and see if I could use some help from design that could make the information quickly accessible to the end users. After the response from the plant deficiency diagram, i've decided that i'll be doing more of this. There is an imperative need for us to overall summarize the discussions and capture this valuable content and the best part is that it is a collaborative effort of all the APC members!

I'm in look for a new info-graphic, so if any one has suggestions just drop in a line!...

Wow. Nearly speechless.

I don't know enough about to comment on the content, but here are two quick comments based on my first-glance. Clearly, you're a perfectionist!
* In section 2.2, the vertical bar in front of the text |2" above soil looked too much like a 1.
* In section 3.4, my eye missed the text 'Gravel 2" at back', possibly since it's on the opposite side from the more prominent text on the right side of the tank image.

I'm quite impressed by how you've made the explanatory text paragraphs short, simple and clear.

hahaha. Thanks ObiQuiet for the compliments!

Now that you mention, I can see the confusion. I changed the color and aligned all the measure levels to the right side of the elements. Hope this helps. The changes are reflected in the diagram.

great observation!

Ghazanfar Ghori and the fellas are teaching a class about tissue culture over here. I'm not sure it needs any help but I think at the least you'll be very interested. I haven't built the guts or time to try it yet and would love to reference an INFOGRAPHIC:
