ha ha Ive got a 1/10hp water chiller on my res keeping it a steady 68 degrees, I use brand new hydroton every time. I change all the fitting and hose and wash every bucket and insert by hand inside and out in between every run. Nutrient change outs every 7 days on the dot and I run hygrozyme (which is a huge rip off), zone, H2O2 constantly. All the buckets are raised up because of the poor design of this thing that lets the roots fester in about 2 inches of water at the bottom of the bucket in between floods. But still every time these piece of crap get root rot about halfway though flower and pretty much stops the vigor of the plant dead in it tracks and I only end up averaging about 1- 1 1/4 per light depending on the strain. The only preventative measure I dodnt take this time was putting air stones on the bottom of every bucket which is a huge pain in the ass as well because the roots get so dense that when they fill up with water there no where for the air bubbles to go so all the water dribbles out of the bucket onto the floor in between the inner and outer bucket.
