You can see the result of stop the top-feed: some roots got dry but the plant is responding well.
Made a lid for the plant's bucket to reduce the light leaking in the solution bucket.
also, going to cover the bottom with tape for the same reason. need to fight against algae and bacteria, seems quite a challenge.
@Sunlike2020, they are quite different methods with pros and cons. Hydro usually gives a higher yield less and problems with plagues and less watering but also is more costly, demands an extra care with cleanness and buddies are less tasty and aromatic. So its more about what you define as priority. Used soil before and now i kinda enjoy hydro. ๐
