Go bubbleponic. Easier to control and cheap to make. You can make a tub for 40 bucks. If your interested I'll post a link hen I'm on my comp. Also what nutes did you get. Jacks classic is amazing and super cheap. Won't burn em and is all organic. 10 bucks for a 4 pound container. It's all water soluble so it could also be used fr hydro.

Well if I were you I'd make a journal but still keep this thread active. For the problems you might have.
If you make a journal, post the link and I'll subscribe. I'm in this one to the end with ya.
