Wow, nice grow. Those are BIG pipes, are they 3 or 4"? I use 2 - 2" the extra one for redundancy (twin inlets and outlets). I made a water level indicator for each bucket in case roots do clog something and slip-union joints in the pvc so I can get to any issues w/o bothering plants (just drain and check/fix). Never had to yet...Bet Ghetto is busy Chopping and processing, part of the game i love and hate!
Anyways ghetto, when you get some free time, i just wanted to show you the seed you planted within me!
I really hope to make this switch everywhere, i absolutely love the system so far..
Flipping today, probably choked my lights, not sure, never had plants this big before
Well it's water under the bridge. I just say well that'll never happen again, move on and look forward... But yeah at least you found the problem. What I hate are those s**t happens moments that shouldn't have happened at least seems wasn't one of those. Antibacterial is a big gimmick, I heard it's just about as effective as just using soap and water. Well this is true anyway for dish and hand soap.Update:
I totally fucked this grow up. Sometimes I just do something so retarded I wonder wtf is wrong with me. About 3 grows ago I put some Essick antibacterial stuff into the res for the foggers and fed the plants some poison they almost died. I solved that problem with a UV filter in the humidifier rez.
I was watching this grow start off great then slowly going down hill. I couldnt for the life of me figure out WTF is going on. Rootzone was great UC system was stable and clean. Then It hit me, I usually just use soap and water to clean the humidifier tubs. This time I used MR. Clean antibacterial surface spray. What an Idiot I am. I guess I should have read the bottle, turns out Both the essick stuff and MR clean have the same active ingrediants. I was pretty sure the tubs were clean and dry but the plants are so sensitive to foiler fogging I guess just the residue in the humidifiers is what did it.. The lowes side is the worst, but the tub side isnt doing as bad. Looks like a 50% loss..
