System: Cabinet Aero/NFT Scrog w/ 3" net baskets. Clones are rooted in Jiffy Pots, and surrounded with Hydroton before being transplanted. Roots are misted with low pressure nutrient mix. Mix drains immediately back to the main reservoir below.
Nutrients: Gen Hydro Advanced Recirculating in RO water
Cycle: Top with fresh RO water, 10 days, flush with Florakleen for 2 hours
Target pH: 5.8-6.0 (rarely varies past this) checked twice daily.
Res Temp: 70F-75F
Cabinet Temp: 80F-85F
Everything is healthy looking for the most part. Every now and then I get a few leaves that look either like a Cal / Mag deficiency, but for the most part everything looks good. Roots are a healthy white to light brown color and smell fresh. Res tank smells fresh.
My question is this: is having a fluffy brown sediment in the tank normal? It doesn't seem to clog the pumps or misters, and it flows out fine when I siphon the tank between changes. I figure there's a possibility that some of the Jiffy Pots might be dissolving and collecting in the res. Anyone else have this going on?
