Pump Failure!!

I think I caught it when it happened somehow, unfortunately I have to wait for morning to get a new pump. There's a thin layer of water on my ebb and flow that kind of just sits there, and I can hand spray the roots. Should I cancel sleeping tonight? Also these are veg under 24hr 2ft t51451528276211975155186.jpg 1451528331592-800262965.jpg

as long as light off and all is sealed...covers on,6-8 hours they will be fine. If you're too worried just take top rubbermaid of and put lid with plants on rez, hook up air pump & stone,good to go.

Cool. Actually it turned out home Depot had a pump that would work. That's a good idea with the air pump though. Didn't think of that. Thanks for the advice!

My only concern is that the pump doesn't have a filter besides a grill covering. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Just go to hydro store and buy filter bag,put pump in wrap it on top.....problem solved.If not just use panty hose as a last resort.

Just a note, I have left my pump off for 24 hours in my EBB&FLO setup without issues. As long as root mass is established the humidity and moisture kept the girls happy. Glad u got it sorted :).

I've had clogs in aero last more than 24hr, with 0%water getting to the roots. They droop, but perk back up within a couple of days. ...It's a plant, like any other plant.
