Hi Jim, quick question.

Your NFT setup is that totally hydro or are you connected to fish tanks

Do you use net pots and continous flow - nutrients only
or
pots with grow media, or grow media in gullies??

Very neat and tidy Jim, well done

Looking at your "Plumbing under grow beds" pic, is that water leaking from this end?

Have just been out to fine tune the perlite grow bed could be a bit of a chalenge, just like a 1948 rover 75 with twin SU carburettors fiddle for a while and hey presto runs like a switch watch. 8)
