hey guys, ive got a bubbleponics system, have had it going about 10 days, and i was checking today and noticed that the water seemed just a tad bit cloudy... i wasnt thinking anything of it, attributing it to nutes, but then i noticed theres this white stuff growing on some of the net pots, and noticed its growing on some of the grow rocks too... take a look at pic. whacha'll think? do i need to clean it up ASAP??

overload of nutes? i added 1/4 strength nutes a few days ago and things started looking better, so i added just a bit more yesterday to total about 1/3 strength nutes.. in other words 1/3 of what stealth hydro said to use... surely that wouldnt be overnuting would it?

either way it needs to get out of there

and mold SHOULDNT be common if the system is built and maintained properly

ive never had nutes build up like that.... but ive never had mold build up either, so all i can say is... it's not normal, get it off

ok.. 2 votes for nutes, 2 for mold.... so heres a question - how "dissolved" should the nutes be before pouring it in the tank? i read to dissolve them in warm water, but i stirred them in warrm water for like 15 minutes and they didnt dissolve completely... but the only thing left looked like fine sugar, is that still too undissolvedd to pour in?
