    Wicked thread :]

    Read some good advice on a yank forum warning about being aware of salts/lime-scale deposit build up in the piping of the dripper hoop.

    They suggested removing it & washing in warm water weekly to stop any build ups blocking up the system over time.

    Seems the boys & girls on the other side of the pond have been using these for a while now, I noticed another grower had a 'budrot' issue. Perhaps strains with a good resistance to mould should be a factor to be considered for Farm grows..

    A couple of starter questions for you SHARK, as we're still on the 1st page.

    What feeding regime did you use?
    Official GH Feed Guide

    Looking through your diary you had a nute problem near the end of the 1st month was that easy to sort your ec out?

    Tidy, will stick it on the 'ole 'to buy' list..

    Like Shark says, is quite a heavy investment to begin with, but here's hoping the end results will be WELL worth it :]

    re salt build up etc.. best to clean the dripper tube every couple of weeks.. i left mine for 6 weeks and there were roots growing in it!
    deosnt really matter if the drippers clog up anyway..the roots will be feeding in the res! you can even switch the drippers off once the roots are in the res.,.but i have them on 15mins per hour during lights on and off at lights out.

    Pebbles now soaking in Ph5 water, will leave them overnight.

    Word of warning...
    Don't wash your pebbles in the bath when the missus is about..
    10L of pebbles don't look a lot but it makes a mess of the bath.
    I ended up putting them in the bottom res and filling that with ph adjusted water for the soak.

    Also my water was bang between 6-7ph so don't overdo your ph down 2ml took it right down to 4-5ph.
