Nice, clean setup. I just bought units through Amazon, one complete unit and one bare-bones. I already had a dual outlet air pump and just got a sack of hydroton and when 1 bucket is finished I just switch pumps. Gave the ferts that came with the unit to my mother for her houseplants and set it all up.

Welcome Brother markcogwell.As I Learn New Things About Growing I Share Them With Yall So We Can All Learn.Heres Something I Pick Up On Hermies.
Well bred stable strains have parents that were picked from a large group of plants that were stressed (usually chemically) and any that threw flowers were discarded. So if your breeder is a good one...age fem flowers shouldn't happen with any regularity, but recessives do come out in all species. An age feminization flower is a survival mechanism for a plant that might of gotten carried too far from a male...so as it drags on into harsh weather, that stress and age will trigger these flowers in an attempt to propagate and survive til next season.
An age fem flower is generally found growing from within the female bud and has only female genes...so all the seeds from it will be female and will have an increased chance of making a recessive hermaphrodite gene become predominant so the next set of plants will already have their pollen makers...is all about survival. Each progressive season will increase the chance a true hermaphrodite will be born by reinforcing recessives. Is why femmed seeds are more risky and when you make femmed seeds from a femmed seed, the possibility of hermi's becomes pretty high.
Hermaphrodites are the third sex of the Marijuana plant...and are a valid type, just not a wanted one. As I mentioned above they are around for a reason, just not preferred by us smokers. But making seeds is the plants intention from the get go.
The way you will know if you have a true hermaphrodite is the flower location. The plant will have stalks of flowers come from where a bud would start (if they start after the buds form, you will find them hanging out under the buds usually...sneaky little boy flowers).

No offence but in my experience hanna are notoriously inaccurate compared to a digital ph/ec meter that sits constantly in the res. However the downside is they get gunked up with salts residue rather quickly.
