Might want to try and halve the amount or skip it for a water cycle and see how they react. It's nothing too bad right now.

Ok I'll do every other water and see plus lower amount a little....thanks

...then in my strawberry banana pot there are little white mites crawling all over the top soil....oohhh I want to smash them...I tryd getting photo under my microscope, but they are to fast for me... little shits.

First, welcome to the CC! :smoking:

If those mites are fast and not invading the plant, I wouldn't worry too much. Probably predatory mites which are a good thing as they eat pests. They will explore the plant for prey buy won't congregate under leaves like pest mites. Could be soil mites, but they don't hang out up top much and aren't that fast. Most mites are pretty slow.

Could your pH be shifting while it sits in the bottom of the SIP bucket? I know my res I maintain is constantly shifting so I wouldn't necessarily trust the pH is remaining stable down there.

Personally I'd only consider something like an earthbox or SIP bucket if I was growing all organic with regular tap water. Just a lot of things that can go wrong

I shoot for 6 myself....5.8 to 6.5 bouncing around in that area. And I noticed a shift as well so only do 2 to 4 gal at a time....
