I did notice that when I cleaned it was a little slimy. The container is light prof in the since that no natural light enters. The container is a light color letting in a dim light. I didnt think that would be enough for a mold growth. I havent seen the roots yet do to the fact they havent cleared the nets yet.
I hear that..... Do you think the little light coming though the plastic could be causing that. The air is not to bad I do think it could be a little better though. Tell me what you think.Always,
how much air are you actually getting in there? My tubs always have constant rolling water and I make sure all openings that could allow light in are completely covered, even the rockwool that my plants are growing out of. Use paper plates with small openings in them to cover your rockwool and net pots. I also do not let water stay in my reservoir more than 7 days at a time. Every Sunday I clean, rinse, and replenish with new water and fres nutrients. I do that even if they don't need it. I have never had an algae or chemical problem doing it this way. May cost a little more in nutrients, but my S(*& is legit...
What dose that do?
. Also stuff like voodoo juice,pythoff, or h2o2 really helps just make sure u pick one. Not all at the same time. Happy Growing
