Scotty, do you have even drip coming from all the drip ring holes? Right now, I have 4 holes with solid drip and the 2 holes farthest away from the pumping column are barely dripping. I have adjusted a readjusted the pumping column and support tube multiple times. Ran the drip ring under hot water and all the holes are fine. Not sure if this is normal or not, but it's frustrating. Oh and I followed the exact setup directions given by General Hydroponics. Other than that everything is going well. Caught like 2 or 3 bugs roaming around on the hydroton. Going to cover it with aluminum once the seed sprouts. I wasn't careful when I added nutes to the res and was running at 500ppm with a pH of 6.4 when I checked this morning. So I flushed and corrected it this morning. pH of 5.4 and running 250ppm flora nova bloom. Gonna try the tap. It's a little under 200ppm.
