Hempy Bucket Bottom Fed Question

Ok, I am in 2nd week of flowering and I just couldnt take it nomore so before they got too big I slammed some pvc elbows I already had and got some hose and combining that plus the already existing pvc tube for the bottom fed Hempy, now gives me a beautifully easy way to feed but ........
I do worry a little bit on what should i do with the soup still left in the clear tube after turning the switch to off? My natural reaction was to blow the rest through but so i did also remember that's where the root system is and when you're blowing out your blowing out carbon dioxide. That can't be good for the plant correct? Should I not do that at all and back it out the other way ? I'm also a little concerned of the fact that it's clear tubing and after the feeding you still have bits and pieces are nutrients with light hitting it Overtime I don't want to create any bacterial issues that why either

Overall especially bottom fed i love Hempy Buckets. Mine have hydrogen on the bottom not perlite. I think the hydrogenas a bottom Res with a mix of perlite and coco above is great. For mine if you noticed in the pictures I also put air stones because I figured there was no down fall if it didn't work. They still seem to be solid.

If I'm getting this right your bottom feeding a hempy? If so how are you getting rid of the spent res water?
If your really must feck about a hempy simple add tubes from each bucket to run to waste tank. Water/Feed from the top that way your feeding from the top bringing fresh air and nutrients every feed. The run of is then taken away. Why over complicate a simple solution that works perfect.

carbon dioxide is present in soil. it results from degrading vegetable matter in soils.
I'd learn some more about plants in general before you spend too much more money if I were you.
misinformation can be very costly in this craft.

The first guy that answered me I'm not sure what he was saying the next guy dude this is not soil it's Hydro but trust me I know what I'm doing I spent 16 hours a freaking day on this plant (no joke) I'm from Los Angeles Nuff said.
I understand maybe if my question wasn't spoonfed right but basically trust me hempy buckets are normal things the only thing I did different was feeling from the bottom which actually is very smart because now the top stays dry I know what I'm doing trust me LOL the only thing is I wasn't sure about blowing back nutrients with my exhale of carbon dioxide Spending as many hours a day upon these things as I do one would know if one was on to something weird or not. just look at the results they look pretty good to me don't they to you? My first grow was DWC Did 13 ounces dry six months before that I never read one sentence on growing. I won't question your knowledge please don't question mine

Nice idea hempy sips! I have used hempy but these look like much less maintenance then mine were... the air stones are a great idea! I guess I'm not sure either what you are asking... are you saying you have run off holes set into clear tubes and and when they have mostly run off there is a small amount left in the tube... you're if so go ahead and blow it back in... especially with those air stones. The little amount of co2 in your breath is not going to mess anything up. Great looking plants btw!

I also think sometimes text can be taken nine different ways

No. The bottom overflow comes out on on a nozzle and goes into a oil pan catch that I pump out afterwords that's a relevant what I'm talking about is the nutrients nutrients going in I was directly feeding down the PVC pipe to the bottom and now I just put a tube in the elbow directly in. But when I turn the switch off is it harmful to blow the rest into the bottom of the reservoir knowing that my breath carbon dioxide is going to get directly into the roots

I'm on my 2nd Hempy Bottom Fed System
