I have had my system running for about a week and a half now. In about five days there is a white build up on my grow bed surface... thinking it is just a calcium build up? I have expanded clay (hydroton) for my grow bed media. Is this common or something to worry about? |

It is common with new hydroton and is just salts crystallising on the surface Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Ok. Thats good news, i figured just salt or calcium. It has already gone down alot. I was also wrong, I have only had it running for a week! Thanks for the advice |
