    Well....we are moved and I am back to growing, with my best set up yet..IMO. My ebb & flow tables had to go to the dump when we moved, because I did not have time to clean them, and after the root rot, well...it just wasn't worth it to keep 'em. I fucked up and let it spread, and out of 13...

    H2O2 user's...advice please...Al B????

    I have used H2O2 in the past as a res additive, but since I am now using some organics, I have not used it. As I have said in a prior post, I now have a bacterial infection in my res, and I am fairly sure in my rockwool as well (roots look good). I want to flush the medium/plants with a strong...

    Okay....I have a 5 gallon bucket holding 10L of used hydroton and I would like to use it again.
