    Also I let my reservoir mix for an hour a day just to ensure no nutrient build up and even distribution
    I have a heater in it. Set to 18 cos that’s what I read once. Will I notch it up a bit more ? I have air stones in there as well. Do you have a diary. No much Wilma stuff on here.

    What is IME ? I calibrated it like 2 weeks ago. Maybe have to do it again.

    Soil with silver bullet is literally the perfect example of not using soil properly. Soil should be alive with microbiology, silver bullet would kill everything that moves and it would just become an inert but less efficient alternative to Coco. Cannazym is alright, but any peroxide or anti microbial and the soil is good as dead
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    Don't turn Res temperature up any more, chances are the res is warmer than you think anyway i.e it will equalise to room temp over time.
    So clay pebbles? I've never grown in Wilma nor clay pebbles but I'd have thought a more frequent, less intensive watering would be best, 15 mins an hour maybe? Clay pebbles hold next to no water so perhaps they are not able to maintain turgidity only watering 4x a day for an hour each.

    You could be right there. I will change it when I’m home. Try 15 an hour. Do you think 15 every hour is too much. ? You read so much different ways people use it.

    15 evey hour is pretty much standard .

    Did you check for root rot ? Too warm water . Above 20-21 and it will cause root issues if roots are hitting the res man .
    Your best bet is 18°-19 no more no less .tough but its gotta be done

    You cannot overwater clay pebbles mate, esp if they are in a draining pot as yours are. It's physically impossible.
    15 mins an hour, double check air temps at canopy level too mate, not just the room. And if you can check Res temps, bet they will be closer to 25 than 18
