So troops bit of an usually one for you all which I would greatly appreciate some advice or even brainstorming together.
So I am currently on my third grow using IWS RDWC 4 pot system. And every grow at least 3 or 4 times my pipes have got blocked from the roots. And I have to get my hand in there to remove the blockage and damage roots or break the plant above on the scrog net. I have done a number of things, from turning the net pots right up until the scrog goes up. Tried more air stones bigger air pump, tried to even cover the hole with a air stone. And still every time the system will block.
So iv been thinking if I could maybe put a breathable barrier that won’t stop the solution moving freely but will also keep the roots in the pot.
I have found these. They are breathable hydroponic containers. I was thinking if I cut one in half to fit the bottom half of my Oxypot so that the root mass will rest inside this container. The two issues I will face which I would like your opinion on. Is wether the water and nutrient solution will flow freely through the container and round the system? And will this container build up with salts or nutrient solution affecting my ec and ph. The containers are made from recycled plastic bottles so not a fabric type material.
I’m just trying to think of some solution that will enable me to get 1 or 2 more grows out of this system before I upgrade without the hassle of blockages faced throughout
I’m looking to add another two pots to my system making it a 6 pot system so having not to deal with the blockage issue would be unreal lol
Thanks again troops
