hi, i have a six basket nft system from ezhydrokit and have some questions about my process so far. i'm quite new to this and am learning FAST. before i was having trouble with my roots being a nasty slimy white because this system not only was not on a slant (i've fixed that) but the baskets were NOT hanging for the roots to reach down (i've fixed that also).

now the plant is thriving and loving life so far. but i've watched the roots and there is some buildup of white slimy stuff where the roots meet the film of water. is this normal? i read somewhere that this could be a healthy thing for the plant to have some slimy stuff on it, helps for uptake or something.

also one of the plants is getting to a about 17 inches and the roots are excellent. but to the point where they are blocking the flow of the film of water a bit, but with the slight angle of the system now, it still backs up a bit, but does find it's way around the roots. is this okay?

also i've added an aquarium bubbler and airstone to the rez so the water is extra oxigenated so the water that sits next to the roots is not stale and bad. i do have some more questions about other topics besides the roots so i'll post another thread later. thank you for anyone's help. take care
