Sorry to hear it mate, yeah not much room for error in proper hydro, think it's why the autopots are so good, get the benefits of hydro but with the wiggle room of soil.

so yea the coco`s a bit of a life line, dodgy start but enjoying it now atb

Too right Hemi, I didn't even realise that running autopots or related systems , is a form of hydro till I was well into the running of it. Don't see why I'll ever try another growing style in the future, maybe if I have the time I'll do DWC one day just to tick that box, but it won't be anytime soon.

I did DWC for two years and if fighting pH drift, temp spikes, and anaerobic bacteria makes your heart sing...... please go for it. DWC is great, if you can control your environment. I live in a 100+ year old house and cannot, hence why I now grow in coco. And I'm a lazy grower.

Looking good my friend, though bloody hell is there anything you can do to string those wires up or put plugs outside the groom?

The aquavalve that close to live plugs would keep me up at night!
