Plants tend to grow up.. so taking the 4ft pattern that a 600 is known to nail. I yield 2.5 pounds off this method.... simple and low maintenance...

5 gallon airpot with coir. Transition to the sip and theair gap can vary from net bottom to 2 inches from bottom in this case a 12 gallon tote. No air stone. Dissolved oxygen is generated utilizing kratcky method and waterfall. So I have coir roots for safety of the plant and taste and air and water roots for hydro performance.

Coco-sip? Nutes in the res?

What do you do about salt buildup? Do you flush occasionally? Id sip with coco and synt nutes if i could get that one solved.

Edit : Or is this a PPK setup?
Hydro halo runs 15min 2x per day. One thin I learned about running autopots for a decade is that you have a 10%chance of valve failure. I'll take a pic at morning feed of the mechanics for ya. Not sure ppk means?
