Did LST--should I greatly increase nutes?
I am a num skull so are you for saying you don't use organic nutes, I don't even know why I even had to check,
"Botanicare consists of organic compost solutions, all organic stand alone plant nutrients, bio-organic plant nutrients, bio-stimulant bloom enhancer, calcium,
magnesium nutrient catalyst, salt leaching solution, and organic soilless grow substrates." So in other words it is organic and this is perhaps, most likely your problem with the clogged drippers, I believe I have read about someone else having similar problems with the same thing about a year ago, but I can't guarantee. Another thing people have had problems with the PH when using sweet with the Botanicare PB. I think they make a product called ClearEx that may help with the clogging, but over all I think that it is difficult to use many organic nutes with drippers or aero set ups for the clogging reason.
With many organic nutes you don't have a PH buffer so you have greater fluctuations and that along with using the sweet may be a factor.
I am not sure you need to give me the other info I asked for, personally I think that the problems are a combination of the things I mentioned above. The 3 part GH line is probably the most stable to use IMO in hydro along with advanced nutes but they can cost an arm and a leg. I use some GH products in soil and everything else along with some Botanicare stuff, but not the main nutes.
Adieu
