Hey guys, I am looking to get into hydroponics and was orginally going to buy a system. Once I came across this site, I saw how easy it is to make one using pvc, however I do have a concern. Does PVC have chemicals that would leach into the water and slowly over time create carcinogenic substance in the herbs/plants? I realize that we are exposed to these sorta things everyday but I dont want to build a system knowing that I might be toxifying my plants. Anyone have thoughts on this subject? Thank you.
