Just wanted to share my progress with the community. Currently have 4 plants in 12 gallon tubs with air stones and 1 in ocean forest. As always any fees back is appreciated.

i would skip the SCROG net if you are changing out the rez by hand.

You think I’ll be better off using plant clips?

Looking good OP. Best advice I have to offer is remove the air stones from the air lines, then attach them as a sinker but don't force air thru them. They clog quickly and you won't know till it's to late, and the best way to oxygenate water is breaking the surface. Just let those big bubbles blow.

Interesting!!! This is the first time I've heard this advice. I figured the small bubbles were easier for the roots to take in. If this is true, it is great news

Well, the net is better than clips, but if you end up changing the rez every week like I did, I would assume that you will find it impossible to lift the lid/plant to swap out the container (lift the lid/plant, remove old rez, switch in the new container with fresh nutes) with fresh nutes. It encourages the plant to get broken while you are doing all this stuff Are you using a more high-tech way to swap out the rez nute-water?
