Could you please explain to me exactly how nutrients go stale?

In my experience if you oxygenate, and keep everything dissolved, you can go weeks without a res change assuming your keeping up with PPM and Ph.

@sleazypolar We do not disagree with your with your view. I think we were addressing a different issue.

I've been using the system for one week and I have 1 major problem affecting the plants. The water in the 55 gallon reservoir has a pH of 5.8. During the flood cycle the water in the controller module has again pH 5.8. During the drain cycle when the water from the buckets return to the controller module, to go back in the 55 gallon reservoir, the pH is 6.2 to 6.3. I can adjust the pH in the reservoir without a problem, but then the PPM will rise when you add more pH up or down. What can I do?

[SureToGrowers]

@oknbjiuhvcgy thanks for the email. what may be happening is that the inserts have compressed a bit and are not draining properly and you are getting nutrient build up which is flushing back into your res and causing the pH fluctuation. Please call our office and we will walk you through how to correct this and get you on track.

You have such a tiring voice and you also look insecure which brings out suspicion about you regarding to trust - peace.

@ohmysoles What is with all the negativity?? If you dont trust the free advice, don't take it. Just move on man. No one likes a hater. Never understand you guys. 

[SureToGrowers]

@TheGanglandman We get a ton of emails from down under all the time. you guys are great. the problem is your distributors and retailers SUCK. We have tried to work with several and have sent lots of samples, not one has taken the ball and run with it. Get some bucks together and open it up, I'm with you. I will send you 100 leads.

cute video, does not show even the basic's of how the ebb and grow operates. All you did was talk about your substrate system. What about the pumps, what about the fittings, what about the float valves, what about the tubing needed, what about the lid setup. None of this is addressed.

Has anyone had issues with the inserts sinking when the plant grows up and potentially compacting the root mass? Being that the STG doesnt have a lot of structural integrity as opposed to rockwool? I hear that people have been putting little hooks into the STG and hooking over the edge of the bucket to prevent it from sinking when the plant grows up??? ANYONE?

@ohmysoles Who isn't insecure. Lol gtfo here.

[oknbjiuhvcgy]

I really liked the STG, the plants are going better then they were in pebbles (hydroton). But should the plants receive water -flud & drain- during the dark period, 12/12, at least once.. or more? Please reply, thanks.
