the milky cloudy water remains. The ph is steady and the ppm is slightly dropping. The plants grow like crazy! Still don't know whats causing that cloudy water. Theliveculture, were are you!?!
What's up Mr. Norwegian chili!
Been away from the forum for a few days.
Cloudy nutrient solution can be from a few different sources:
Internal reservoir temperature exceeding 72° farenheit.
Light penetration through your lid top or through your hydroton grow media.
High salt buildup from nutrient solution.
Using ph up and ph down in the same solution.
If using cal mag, it should be the first thing to add to the reservoir then nutrient solution.
I would start with the basics. check your temp. Hold your lid up to a powerful light to see if it "glows". Wash your buckets out with bleach then rinse them 2-3 times afterwards.
Hope this helps.
