Hi,Last year I had a go at growing tomatoes in guttering. Just a pump pumping water around and back into bucket.All I used was water from my butt and miricle gro.It was the best year I ever had,I had to give them away.But I put the 4 in plant pots onto the base of the guttering and I got a build up of water.Should I keep the pots just above the water and water abit from the top until the roots go into the water.Bob.

MC—- you may want to check the levels of your tap water to see what the levels are and add that to what GH says levels should be using Reverse Osmosis water

gday tigerlily:
i am thinking of using the vinigar on the expanded clay rock, and flushing well with clear water to get the white or salts off of them, do you think this will work and not harm plants when crank up new grows this winter? I would like to do this in my holding tanks, and then flush w/ bleach and final of water letting it circulate for a week or so to sorta sterlize of pump/tank/tray/grorox, what do you think? Any dangers to watch out for?

Hi again tigerlily. I am about to start a tray of tomatos. I aquired this super nice staniless steel stand from the hospital (they were thowing it out)I will be using FloraMato and I am courious to know if the tomatoes will need a boost of KoolBloom Dry as the Peppers did, or will the Floramato be enough?

Hi Sequoia! First, transition stage is always good! Second, for the residue in the bottom of your trays, is it a white deposit? If it is, I’d suggest soaking your trays with a solution of plain white vinegar and water. FloraKleen is designed to be a plant safe product, it’s effective, but gentle. The deposits at the bottom of your tray will need a more aggressive treatment, and vinegar should do the trick.
