After 2 weeks I ran my pump 24hrs on the last run and no flushes until the finish. Seemed to get better yield and the taste was the same.
Just me being lazy:)

Alrite fella.iv used a wilma system for a while now.the feeding times I use are 15 minutes every 2 hours 24/7. Every 2 weeks I run plain water for 24 hours to wash throu the system and change the whole nute batch weekly I also use a drip clean additive with every new batch of nutes.this is just the way I do it and it's always worked a treat all people differ with there techniques. toot.gif

Hi,
Keep ya PH between 5.6 -5.9. Put an airstone in your res. If your cuts are small just feed as and when needed until you can work your own feeding schedule out. I have never needed to feed more than 4 times a day.

And please remember too wash your clay balls well before use with ph adjusted water. Or the dust will clog your water pump and your ph levels will go mad for a few weeks.

Other than that the Wilma systems are easy to use.

Enjoy the fruits of your labour

As said before clean ur pebbles before putting them in.I used to soak them for 24 hours but the last few grows iv been lazy and just put loads of holes in the bottom and just hold the shower head in there and gave them a good wash thru and bunged them in and had hardly any clay dust.but it is better to soak em I use a air stone and a nutrient heater(fish tank heater) set at 21c iv started to use it again this week as night temps have dropped the air stone people argue that if the pumps in a not very clean place it can bring nasties into your reservoir .always kept mine inside the room failing that some people use the same sought of pump that comes with the system to be run to do the same job as a stone.and don't do what I did when I first got the system when changing the nutes I used to take the plant out that used to sit over the round drain hole put the plant back and forgot to put the dripper in.mop job in the morning.I put a inline filter in above the pump to catch any shit that would block the drippers.
