I called General Hydroponics today and explained my problem and they had several ideas:
They too were concerned about the flush and recommended flushing for 4 hrs or more with floraKleen or H20 with the changes especially given the temp I live in.
The also felt that the high temp of the
nutrient H20 was probably a factor and stated the flushing would help some. I can move the nutrient tank inside and
pump it to the system and will if other fixes don't help. I already to it for my tomatoes
They thought the nutrient mix I was using was ok and said I could consider pushing up the FloraMicro to maybe 7.5 mL or more per gallon. (I felt my leaves could be a little greener) he thought the 2 - 3 mL/gallon was ok for the flora bloom and said keep the floragro at 5 or so. They agreed with you that my reservoir was on the small side.
GPS thanks for all of your help and I'll report back with results
one question?
When flushing an
ebb and flow for 4 hrs do you let it ebb for the full 4 hrs or cycle up and down???
