im starting to see this "green mold" like stuff in my tray...wtf??!! more problems??..i doubt if anyone has this prob.,but please any info at this point will be helpful..
it's algae and everyone gets it from time to time or at least in the begining. it is not gonna hurt anything but it can if you let it get out of control.when it's wet after a flood (or just spray it with water.) wipe it out with a paper towel, then use a quart sized spray bottle with 1-2 tsp of "DAWN" unscented liquid dish soap and the rest with plain ol' tap water. then spray everything (it will not hurt the plants, just the opposite really) that has algae on it and wipe clean. dont rinse, just wipe it dry really well. oh, and then wave goodbye to the problem.
repeat as needed.
another thing...my fuckn botanicare tray sorta "sinks" inward at the middle of the tray making water level reach right under the rim of pot..is this something i need to worry about ?..like overwatering or some shit like that??
yup, worry. then fix it with a 3/4"pressure treated plywood table under the entire tray w/ drilled holes for the flood and drain fittings. thus "supporting" the entire surface area of the bottom of the tray. no more warp or uneven flooding ever.
I built a 50A sup panel with 3 separate circuits. One 20A with 2 outlets for lights. And 2 15A circuits with 4 outlets each. This is hard wired into my main breaker panel, but it would be really easy to wire it into a 240A dryer plug and just use it like that. I saw a pre made timer box just like this for about $300-$400. The one I built cost me less than $100 without the 100' of 6/3G wire. I also built a variable speed thermostatic fan control. I used an attic thermostat and a 5A rated fan speed controller wired in parallel. This way the fan is always on at a reduced speed. Then when the temps get top the set point it switches the fan to full speed. It cost me around $45 to build what I saw advertised for $80-$120. All parts were bought at Lowe's.

My overflow was set at 4.5" so the water would have came up 3.5 on the pots because of the ridges on the bottom of the tray.
When you say 3.5 do u mean overall or that's what it floods ur pod up to?
Also I just have a mini jet 606. It takes 10min plus to fill my tray. Will this work or will I need something bigger soon?
i mean 3.5" up the side of my 6" tall 5.5"square black plastic pots.
and the only pump i buy for every tank is the eco 396gph for 25 bucks at every hydro shop on the planet......works like a charm.
They will get theirs if they don't toe the line
