Wooey,
You say the roots grew into the drainage bucket, did you have any water in the bottom bucket?Is it a trash can?What size drain and how high on your bottom bucket?My tap is pretty alkaline and needs a ton of ph down.My coco girls need no ph adjustment with ro and h&g.On my hydro I am trying Ionic hardwater formula and different ph downs as I have been trying to avoid too much phos. acid in veg.Sulfuric acid seem too strong and was corroding my pumps.Now vinegar keeps rising after a ton of it and causing some foam and weird solids.Im about to try citric acid , as I cant seem to find nitric.Sorry to hear about your hydro problems ,. I am using ngw hose too but no probs yet?Hope you work it out!
