I've built both your round and square systems. I have a degree in CNC machining and got all As in my blueprinting and layout classes. I know I build your systems perfectly. that said, none of the net cups I've tried get low enough to touch the water. should they? or is the act of floating 4mm above the water enough? thanks for reading!
What do you do about the slime that covers everything? My lettuce gets about half grown then the slime occurs and my pH drops every day. Constantly putting ph up in res. I use R.O water and general hydroponics as nutrients.
When I’ve had that problem it has been from too much light getting into the reservoir and/or the rail system. I cover any opening with heavy tape and make sure my reservoir is black or dark blue. I, also, use black tubing. Anything to keep light out from where it’s not supposed to be.
@@offswitch1 Growth that you DON"T want like slime can be quite discouraging! 🙄I grow in DWC tanks with aeration. When this occurs, I start a new tank with new nutrient solution. I have a video that includes a recipe for nutrient solution for lettuce that has worked EVERY time. Good luck! #happyhydroponics
@@GrowingwithGlennaI use H2O2 every 5 days, a week solution of 3%. Never have brown roots or and slime or Algae on my grow system, the roots are always white, never brown.
You seem to have it figured out. Thanks.
Great video, I’d really love to see a hydroponic video on flowers though - it always seems to be lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, herbs, etc. 😊
I have a few videos on hydroponic flowers! Here's one from a few weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/TZFORs7hs00/видео.htmlsi=yNp-08d-PiiUMF-h
@@SimpleGreensHydroponics fab, thank you ☺️
My video about growing flowers in hydroponics just went live. LOVE growing flowers this way! ruclips.net/video/--W7RTFIOkU/видео.html 🌼
What are your nutrient levels for the lettuce how many hours of light per day

@@lucasstarbuck6797 I don't think it's the case with mine I have it sealed.

@@winstonsmith935 Thank you for this strategy! What is the ratio to the amount of nutrient solution in the DWC tank?
how many inches do you have from the top of rails to light im having trouble trying to figure how much space my plants are going to need
12-14"
