Hello all,
Have a question if anyone can possibly understand the madness that is going through my head. I currently run an irrigation system on my plants with a reservoir that is setup on a timer. Now I normally use microbes to help "break-down" nutrients in my reservoir however, I am wondering if this approach might my issue.
Every time my feed turns on, im getting a smell that comes out my lines which obviously is coming from the microbes that are remaining in the pipeline. If I ran a sterile reservoir (meaning not using microbes) i believe that this smell and bio-film would disappear. I constantly have to clean my drippers and lines and it is really a hassle.
Can anyone give me insight if running my nutrients with a hydrogen peroxide or sodium-hypochlorite(bleach) would help keep bio-film and smell out of my lines. I understand that this would kill microbes so its one or the other. Would running this in a coco environment be a good idea or bad idea. Feel free to express your thoughts. Thanks !
