Teas are the only answer imo! But keep it a simple tea like
aquashield
ewc
mollassis
mycogrow
brew 24hr to 48hr

How do I incorporate this into my res?
Do I still use my base nutrients?
I am using GH flora right now.
Could I use this instead of Aquashiled?

I feel top feeding the tea makes it much more effective IMO. Most people pour it directly into rez i think its 1 cup for every 10 gallons. not sure about the substitute i would honestly stick to heisenbergs recipe its legit.

Its a good system I am really thinking of switching to rdwc after this crop though. You have a lot more control over bucket temps.

I have run uc before, one thing cover your buckets and tubes from light will help with water temps.
get a chiller also almost a must

Not sure about that but aquashield rocks
ratios are as follows
fill rez and add nutes to your desired ppm level and water amount.
with a fresh rez add 1 gal. For every 10 gal. Of rez water. Do not
exceed 3 gal. Of tea to a 55gal. Res (ph after tea is added)
now to continue healthy micro life and a clean rez you should add
every three days 1 cup. Of tea to every 10 gal. Of rez water and dont
exceed more then 3cups a 55gal. Rez. (Ph after tea is added)
this process will feed the old microlife and replace the one that died.
note: do not worry about the tea raising the ppm of your water it will
but not a issue

50ml mollasiss
1/2 tbl mycogrow
brew it 24 if your in a hurry but 48 is best

Thanx!
Ill do another Zone res for now, but Ill order or go local and get the stuff for the tea during this week.
Is there any certain molasses I should use, or is there even a difference?

Just flushed and refilled with Zone, but I am going to the store tomorrow with a list.
I am also gonna look for a way to keep black pots and lines cool as well....I think that might be the problem??

Hvac foil tape and wrap all the lines with it, i would leave the buckets alone the plants shade them.

Ok Ill do that, but the plants arent shading right now after I chopped them and topped em lol

In that case i would just cut a oversized peace of white poly plastic and put it on top the buckets

How do you keep roots from clogging up the lines? I realized this is what is causing most of my problems because the plants in the beginning of the rows will get clogged and then the rest of the buckets don't get the right water exchange. Anyone ever used a 1 inch hard pvc line with this system?

Not 1in but all my buckets were upgraded to 3/4 pvc hard line and a bit of root pruning, but 1in would solve any and all
issues of clogging
