Funguns?! or normal? Deep Water culture + Top FeedHello, I started my first hydro dwc grow. It's a DWC with top feed (I always had that on). Is that a fungal infection on the trunk? and if so, how bad is it? what can you do? Or is that quite normal in a DWC with top feed?😱

Mister vs Dripper (Irrigation Solutions)Basically playing around with automatic irrigation ideas (Soil), the plan is to make an array of misters instead of drippers since they wont wet the soil completely unless i use like 4-5 of them for one pot.
Any additional Suggestions or Kontra against that Idea?Other. General questions

AutoPot system: moisture of the medium does not stop increasing if turned onI noticed the moisture of the medium (50% coco, 50% light mix, based on a layer of expanded clay) is getting higher and higher with the AutoPot system (now at ~45%). I stopped it for now. I'm wondering, if that is normal? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions someone?

Flush bottom feedI’m using an autopot (bottom feeding) system. They say not to flush because of the salt buildup. But is the “shock” of those salts bad or is it the salts staying in the bottom what is bad?
In that case if you thoroughly flush (say 50+L in 20L pots) would that solve the problem?Feeding. Automatic systems

Week 2, leaves yellow-ish mottling, pH too high?That's my guess for now. I was going to use Blumat Tropf hooked up to tap but house water seems too basic. Only way I can think of remedying is to hook Blumat Tropf up to reservoir and make sure the water in it is the appropriate pH. Will that be stable?5y ago

Adding nutrient to autopot aquavalve reservoirI use autopots which bottom feed my plants. I am starting to feed them flower Fuel NPK 1-34-32. Its recommended to be top fed 1.5gs per 3ltrs of water. So my question is, can I add 1.5g to the small reservoir which is located where my aquavalve is instead of top feeding them?

Bottom water absorption system cultivationI cultivate a bottom water absorption system in a 25L pot, but I am troubled with EC management every time. Since it is raised with 165w LED light, it is fun to determine the limit that does not burn.
Please tell us when to raise your EC.
