Hey King of Queen - I have only experienced this problem with inadequate aeration. When I ran the Earth Juice line in my autopots I never had a problem with spoilage. I treated the res like a fish tank. That means you are trying to keep a colony of creatures alive at all times. Proper oxygen, no dramatic swings in environment (food level, temperature, etc.). One of the big rules of fish tanks is don't drain too much water at once. I never let my res get below about 30% full. That way the microherd stays healthy and happy.organics spoil in rez
thanks, the drippers or more accuratly sprayers are adjustable from off to 40lph and as the res is so huge the lift the pump has to make barely changes so flow should be pretty consistent from that.Something else to consider. When you have many feet of line, the pressure and gph can vary quite a bit. You can pick up pressure compensating inline regulators that will keep the flow rate pretty consistent at each plant. Got mine at Lowe's for about a $1 each if I remember correctly.
i guessed that air would increase organic ferts life when mixed, how long would you think safe to leave a very well oxegenated mix for?Hey King of Queen - I have only experienced this problem with inadequate aeration.
