After cleaning lines - we’re still getting build up in the Xeribird Filter - daily. Removing it gives us flow — Until the pinholes clog on the rings . . . ;-(

R&R Irrigation
- [x] Replaced 1/4” ID Feed line with 3/8” ID Silicone tubing
- [x] Replaced 1/4” ID Barbs on PUMP and MANIFOLD w/ 3/8”
- [x] Remove 200 Mesh Manifold Filter
- [x] Remove xGPH Flow Restrictors from MANIFOLD Internal Ports
Objective: Reduce pressure required for flow.
While we now have flow through - it is a pressure, and therefore height sensitive irrigation system. We have no back-flow protection

- 0900: Reservoir Significantly Lower - Reduced Fertigation Duration per event to 5 min
- I think the goal will be 1L of runoff per day. We have flow through the irrigation - though largely uncontrolled in that
- The 200 Mesh Filter in the MANIFOLD clogs in less than a day (Bio Film?). I have it removed, and all of the flow restrictors inside. The line will siphon itself back, to the res after irrigation.
- Ideally need
- In-Line Sediment Trap (Unless the problem is bio-film)
- Back-flow prevention.
- I had initially installed a back flow device on the Little Giant pump - but that basically reduced it’s head in half, rendering it unusable
- Two items need management
- 1. Assuring sufficient runoff to assure all plants sufficiently irrigated
- 2. Spot Check Pot Heft and relative Irrigation Amount during fertigation

Rooted Leaf Application : Irrigation Notes
- Following the RLA Comparison Chart, We see the KEY difference between HYDRO & Light/Medium/Heavy is the amount of Phosphorous provided. The Full Lines provide 40% More Phosphorous in Bloom.
- Until the END OF BOLT (Next Full Week) - How about 220 ml/Plant/Day of Peak Bloom at Current EC? As Supplement? After FIRST Watering
- [ ] Prepare 2 Liters of Peak Bloom @ EC: 2.6 w/ Dr Bronners & SLF-100
- [ ] Apply 220 ml/plant after Lights On
Observation:
- Irrigation
- 6 Events/Plant over 11 hours, ~100 ml/event
- Bloom Week 1 - Key Differences
- Full Chart yields ~ 40% MORE P205 than does HYDRO PreBloom/Bloom
- Hack (Veg 4/Bloom 1-3): Daily add Peak Bloom at Current EC after Lights On to each plant (220 ml/day - 5% of pot volume).
