Yes true I'm using ffhf right now on them they are great if you don't keep the base clean root will grow in to the wicks coco next grow tho
I used self watering bases on my last grow. I fed nutrients in the bases and I too had issues with nutrient/calcium buildup. This grow I will be top feeding. Also it is important to remove fabric pots, clean bases and replace string at least once a month but more frequently would be better. AC Infinity recommends every two weeks.What’s the best way to feed plants nutrients on self watering bases?
I'm trying the ACI self-watering bases in my smaller tent. I just did my last top watering and going to start using bases tomorrow.
I'm using GH Flora series, I'm going to mix them in and see what happens.
Do you think adding an aerator or something to agitate the water/nutes would help with anything?
If I see build up, I might just use the bases as runoff trays.
I want to setup Netafim Netbows in my 8x4 next grow so could run them to the 55"x28" tent as well and won't have to worry about something for runoff and I'll use the water meter to know when to drain them.
I am using them and They work really well, I don't add nutes in the base though, I will still add my liquid recharge on top. I am amazed the roots go into the wicks like mad. I am adding additional wicks for the next run, Played around with the only base I am not using. I got 100 ft of wick rope for 10 bucks. I didn't like it only had small wicks in just the very center. The vivo sun has places to drill additional holes. I used my hvac step bit and made the hole larger to accept 1/4 wicks instead of vivosuns thinMaybe between the 2 of us, we can find a way to saturate higher!
There was another member here that was using the Vivosun bases and we spoke some about this, I'll see if I can find the thread and tag you in it so you can check it out.
