It's his first grow
He is F/Ding 2 @ 4 X 8 tables by hand, no less. He is 30 days vegging clones. They are 16" tall, and he said there is some green algae in the tray. He says he has a good angle to drain. Seems odd to me, but maybe he has a light leak, or maaybe the tray is unsupported underneath and has a little belly.
The drain has no shut off. He says the dia is about 1 1/2"s. Seems like the soup is draining almost as fast as he is flooding.
Am I wrong to think the nutes need a bit of contact time before draining. Should he install a shut off valve for when he fills... and how long should he let the roots soak before opening the valve to drain?
Thanks
FYI I am using a high pressure/fog TAG system using Advanced Mist System from Reptile Basics. Feel free to check out my Journal
