New Phyto Grower Help!

[Brandon Rush]

Just started my first batch of phyto and wanted to see if I'm doing everything alright. I see since putting it in that quite a bit has accumulated on the bottom, is this ok? Do I need to extend my tubing closer to the bottom?

Looks good to me. Have you fertilized your culture?

I like to stir things up about every other day. just my own .02. But everything else looks good!

I run my tubing about 1/2" from the bottom

Sure have , thanks for the advice I just get worried it's gonna go bad sitting on the bottom

That's about how far off I am as well, do you get accumulation on the bottom?

Thanks! I'm terrified of contaminating it on my first go around so trying to leave it alone. Key word trying...

Quit worrying. Phyto grows in nature without your help.

For all the talk about cross contamination, think about it this way. Air bubblers have no sterilization procedure. Air born inoculation of contaiminates started when you turned on the air.
