pot mold...Didn't see this coming. . Looked in room when lights on and im like.. WTF.. 3 totes so close ta over flowing. .. ok ok no biggie. Clean up the figure it out. Draining water I look up and... fk me... mold on my smart pots. .. PPK totes are now 1/3 full. Fans off and im taking a minute to read what ta do.*1st thing comes ta mind id is put into the bath. Hit with a little ammonia water wipe off and pat dry... Then clean up tent and hope for the best...*Moving plants now then taking a few minutes to read and then taking some kind of action.

what would u do?

PPK = buckets (totes) top and bottom. Why not buckets, instead of smart pots? the gap between the bopttom of the SP and the tote is damp most the time from pulsing, I'd guess, a prime environment for mold. What type of wick system are ya using?

Its a ppk bro. Control bucket-volume tank-pulse bucket-float valve 2-3" air gap-media wick...

Smart pots seemed a perfect fit.. also using air pots.. pulsing 300cc a hour when lites on.

No issue till today... this should prove ta be a small bump... not worried.... anymore... lol

Ok... why is ya never read about things like "salt build up on smart pots being somethin that is known ta happen...*Mini freak out is fading after a few quick reads (should have googled 1st) lol. I found a little grey mold on a clone a few days ago. Fixed air flow and took 2 leafs. No more seen.*So I see this and ..... lol. Burn everything..joke...Now.. why the overflow... hummm ...Was wondering how the ladies could drink so much...Float value looks good. No drip past set level..*Humm.. Have ta think on it...*Quick clean and back they go...
