Losing wicks for me has not really seemed to have hurt any of my plants as long as I continued the pulse.
Wicks were never essential. Without them you still have a very viable top fed hydro system. Wicks just add 2 extra features (remove PWT and backup feed if pump breaks)
you have some serious results there, i would say thats a shitload of hash and a nice wall of jars too.
kicking ass bro, seriously
