Setting up dtw coco 2.5x5 tent

Happening again but on another plant. I at a loss. Wont know till I unwrap at harvest but I doubt Il see anything. What could be happening this early. Thing is I dont look at it from planting til harvest so roots or salt build up or mold growth idk. Somethings clogging it. I dont think its the pumps either.

Its the drippers inside the sealed pots. They have splitters on each. Two lines per plant.
 
Again… Its the pump I think though. Its pumping slow then spits out again as should. Plant suffered. This pissin me off greatly. Never happened before. I blew into the tubing it was somewhat restricted which is another sign of whats going on. Like it was too restricted so the pump just went into limbo.
 
like if the pump cant pump freely it just goes to limbo and the port manifold is barely flowing. I blow tubing clear and it spits again but I dont think thats why though its not helping. WTF
 
Anyone feel free to chime in. Why are my punps not working.. When the pump works it creates way more pressure than I can blow. Sometimes its fine, sometimes I feel it somewhat clogged and then it gurggles clear like bubbly this time vs something hard clogging it. Last time it felt more hard like pearlite or coco but this time gurgly bubbly.
 
Hasnt happened since but yea. I got a new one tho. I put fresh maxi bloom to a new sandwhich bag and immediately theres moisture in the bag like I breathed in it or put fresh wet weed in a bag into the freezer. Wtf. Thats why it gunks up if that happens.

Thankfully after using most of a bucket of maxibloom it basically did that and the whole top surface went bad. Was moist all around the sides of bucket and under the lid. I busted the lid off thinking it was the only way to open it so the lid wasnt flush.

I have it like this now. I found a better way to get the lid off, I just used cutting pliers as something to hold the edge of lid and lifted the lid off. Was easy no effort but before I was using my hands like how the hell you do this for each bucket lol.

Anyone know why its getting wet though?

Ok that was easy to search. I thought it would be a hard one but the thing is why at 50rh and 60F thats cool temps. Not the most dry but ya. In fact its 46rh in my veg tent near by. Idk why it would make the bag wet though.
 
So hygroscopic and condensation. The baggy thing was condensation thats wild. The fert is dry like it says which is what threw me off. Maybe because it was really cold upstairs and just took bag ran it down stairs where its usually cooler but maybe more humid and warm? Idk. Im glad theres lots of explanations though.
 
Brah I just realized I can recycle ky flowering nutes left over daily and just feed my veg plants. No need to refill 25 gallon rez or two 5 gal buckets for misc plants in other veg tent. One of those buckets is a new strain so when I cut the flowered plant I do have to fill a bucket for it in veg but its one clone so it will last days.

When I have just mothers dormant sitting around when not growing Il use the 25gal rez as normal. Its all Il have to do and will last a couple weeks.
 
Ahh the buckets. The freakin buckets. Just as Im getting sick of them I realize I only got week left then two less buckets a day. Then havest another plant. Then another and a last one. So the daily buckets are gradually lessening to a couple which aint nothing. So that would be 3 whole runs like this.

I do want a water chiller but then again dont want the flood hazard and there aint really any 60 gallon reservoirs. Not like the flexitank but done with those. Im looking to get a hard reservoir the ones people use that are 12 gallon. Like a hazard waste bin barrel I forget but used to see everyone use those. Just for runoff.

It would cost too much to have more than a few of those. My buckets dont siphon because plants sit high enough. I just dont know why they suddenly can give out. I blow through tube and its not flowing. I siphon it out backwards like you would gas lol sucking it out and blowing again.

Sounds silly but wtf else Im gonna do. Then it just starts working again. That stopped happening for weeks now since I last asked about it. Wtf! Its working so whatever. Just need to get the pots unwrapped at harvest see if its clogged there. Maybe the bug jell trap I put seeped into the drippers.

Well I can do it bucket style I just wow get sick of it. Its like my only choice tho. I can try going back to 8x a day from 12x and let it runoff less but then I risk issues.

So ya idk the lines are long and removed the anti siphone hole at the bucket under the lid used to spit out. Idk if that would make this worse or better. Idk if the lines too long but then why is the bucket with the shortest hose doing it too? Only like 4 ft long.
