I’ve heard that many clean indoor gardens clean their trays weekly. Anyone know the methods to do this? Seems like it would be difficult if all the plants were in trellis.

It’s not necessary but I’m sure you could clean them weekly if you wanted. Seems like a lot of extra work for looks. My trays stay pretty clean but this is the first run with them.

Good question.
IME only daily/bi weekly pressure washes with h2o2 work and it's allot of work especially if your drainage isn't working perfectly. Weekly cleaning isn't good enough to keep the trays spotless particularly if you include organic input in your feeding regimen. You don't want to overdo the peroxide/water ratio because it's very acidic. I monitor the pH of the cleaning solution so it never goes lower than 5.7 at the minimum.
If there's a better way, I'd love to know about it.

Thanks. That sounds like a good method. I run Hugo blocks and I was concerned it might hurt the roots coming out the bottom.
