Busy vacation weekend. In the past two days have had the coco twice wash out of the net pots and clog the return lines. I spent hours today cleaning all the pots and lines and replacing the coco media with clay pellets. I am sure lost some growth with root stress but the plants seem like they will recover. Will have to use a better method for the hydro carrot...hard to grow giant carrot in rocks. During the weekend set up the chiller system. Beer wort coil seems to be working..reservoir temp at 67 degrees.Today after changing the grow media I made some DIY 3 inch drip rings. Still more tweaking to go...goal is to be able to compete with the outdoor maters for next fall weighoffs.
