My plants all look reasonably healthy and no algae however, there is no evidence of ‘pearling’ on any of the plants. :?
Pressurised CO2 is controlled via solenoid and timer and is on an hour before the lighting and off as the lights go out. The 4dKH drop checker (JBL) is showing green as per the instructions. Lighting used to be on for 10 hrs a day but recently have increased to 12 hrs but this has made no difference. Grateful for any thoughts please?
