Indoor Growing Scrog

[Mongoose]

Everyday when I check the tent. Crowded canopy and maintenance to do. Undecided on letting the roots go or trimming them at the edge.

FWIW, on some previous grows I let the roots grow into the reservoir, and on some I trimmed them back. I really don't know if there was any difference in the end. A downside of letting them grow was an occasional clog-up in the pump. One time bad it was bad enough that the pump was unable to push at all. I noticed the problem, thankfully, because the pump was whining pretty loud.

Good point Corum. I should have mentioned that I've switched from GH FloraNova nutrients to Vivosun 3 part liquid, and also using Jack's 321 dry nutrients. Both of these are basically clear when dissolved in the RO water. I made the switch because I got tired of dealing with the messiness of the FloraNova nutes. Also, I tried drilling holes in the tubing first, but still had to use a tip of the trimming scissors to get the remnants of the tubing chuff out of the holes. In the end, piercing and twisting a lot with the scissors did the trick. I also used a piece of wire long enough to go all the way through the length of the tubing, and thick enough to fill it, to push the rest of the chuff out.

sounds like you have it all sorted...the hot end of a soldering iron is usefull too, for holes in all sorts of tubs, grow bags, pipes etc.
