Accidentally knocked over a 4 ounce glass of isopropyl alcohol into my plant tray.

Slowly watched it spread before I realized what happened, oh no.

4 oz of isopropyl, dissolved in 10 gallons of water. It's an ebb/flow, 4 plants week 2 flowering.

what should i do?

It's up to you, but I would drain it and refill it.

I would sleep better getting rid of 10 gallons of nutrient water vs losing plants.

Agreed I was just about to post the same advice just dump the res. The alcohol in the tray should evaporate out readily but I'd do a through flush and refresh the res. Like Ozzie said 4oz ain't a whole lot but better safe then sorry I always say. Good luck JFiary

Roots REALLY don't like iso. I would also recommend a rinse and re-fill, asap.
