    PH changing in hydro to rapidly.

    I read that first link you referenced------thanks. Something I disagree with though: "How do you end this problem ? The easiest way to end this problem is to pretreat your media before starting your crop." My preference is to eliminate all medium (except starting seed). Something to...

    Bob Bitchen's buds

    I hope you hurry up and find them------then educate me (us that need it). My achilles heel in my operation is aero cloning ------thank goodness I have a reliable back up method too. My quest from the beginning has been the elimination of all medium (except popping seed). A~~~
