No. Its under the table.

Im trying to get my timer dialed in and I cant figure out what's going on. I had it set for 15 minutes, 3 times a day and I got 5 gallons of waste. So I set the timer for 5 minutes 3 times a day and I still got 5 gallons of waste. So I took the drippers out of one plant and put them in a bucket...

This is what I have been following. Hope it helps!

OK well I dumped it back in my rez and added 3 gallons of straight ro water. Adjusted the pH and we'll see.

It's not the water that I'm care about wasting, its the nutrients. Also can someone tell me how much I should expect to waste? I know I'm supposed to water to runoff so I'm thing maybe like 2 cups of runoff per 3 gal pot every water? So for 5 plants for 3 waterings like 2 gallons of waste?

Well isn't 5 gallons for 5 plants over 3 feedings a little much waste?

No I'm saying I wasted too much over 3 feedings of 5 plants. I had 5 gallons of waste and I want to know if its OK to dump it back in my rez and not waste it.

I'm trying to get my duration set correctly on my timer and over the course of a 24 hour period (3 feedings) I have 5 gallons of waste. I lowered the minuites on the timer but can i dump this 5 gallons back in my rez and not waste it? The ppms are 200 higher than my rez. If so should i add some...

Well it was either the lime the drip clean, light through the lid or the H202 that caused it. The new rez has been crystal clear since Saturday. Someone mentioned pH being off could cause it and I did have to get a new pen. The other one was quite a bit off. So I don't know.

Its a fairly new system. I've maybe ran 150 gallon through it.

I do check the pH. I think I'm going to have to get a new pen though. I looked at the attachment a little and will read some more tomorrow. My ro system is only like 6 weeks old.

I don't understand! How could I have something that others dont? I know there are hundreds of other people that run dtw with dynagro nutes. How could this crap just "develope" in MY rez?

OK. I thought the airstones were to keep it moving so nothing could grow. I'm going right now to turn them off.

I think I figured it out! I lifted up the corner of the lid and the led was definitely penetrating the lid. Whew! I hope covering it fixes it! Ive added pics of the rez so if anyone else gets one be sure to cover the lid. Also a pic of a Chaos on day 25 of 12/12. Thank you all so much for your help!

I hear ya! But I have a 40 hr a week job so I need to get this worked out. I dearly love this hobby but I can't be spending every free hour tending to it. I wonder if the lid to my rez being yellow might be letting light through it. Im going to try covering it up with something. Should I leave...

That's a great idea. I put a float on my rez but now that think about it, it would be kinda hard to figure out how much nutes to add.

I tore everything apart and soaked it in bleach and scrubbed the rez with bleach. Its filling now. What temp does the water need to be below? Should I leave out the h202? The plants are in week 4 of flower and they look great. I'm just getting so discouraged.

Uggg! The whole reason I chose drain to waste was for the ease and less maintenance. I cleaned and bleached everything and the rez is filling back up as I write. It takes forever to get 40 gal. of ro water. If it happens again I may just quit. This is ALOT of work! The plants are looking great...

Are you supposed to have air stones on constantly? It seams this is where its growing from.

I have the lid on but one 1/4 tube keeps it from closing all the way. Is that enough to cause problems?
