Hey Everyone, everyone I've talked to w/GH Waterfarms has a problem w/drip rings clogging.

For the last 3 weeks, I've checked drip rings daily as there running and any clogs holes I've just lightly tapped the top of the ring w/palm of hand and hole is unclogged. Hell of alot easier than changing drip rings, especially in a tight place like I have.

Peace, PIF:dance:

PIF Ihave tried that and it doesn't work for me. Bits of clogged root etc won't come out without taking the ring off and rinsing it with some decent water pressure.

HOWEVER: After studying your m.o I tried it with a few modifications (draw out old solution from buckets, adjust ph and ppms and return it to the top res allowing the newer stuff at the bottom (already ph correct because its ALWAYS 5.9 in the damn res) allowing the newer stuff into the buckets and recirculating the solution. I may even modify this by running the old solution through a screen or something to get out crud but I have been doing this for several days now and have not had to check the individual buckets (yeah!!!) because I know the solution is good AND have not a clogged drip ring for 4 days---a record at this stage of my grow. THANKS!! XXX

Thanks WH, I haven't experienced that yet, but I may. I haven't seen any problems w/roots yet (5th week of flower).
