I do apologize, but I’m still confused as to why you are heating your nutrients. I’m no expert and I don’t know crap about making nutrients, but I have to think that heating these chelated nutrients has to have some affect on them. Any beneficial enzymes and bacteria could possibly being reduced or eliminated entirely by the heat. Not sure about chelated minerals and nutrients, but can imagine that heating them could cause them to fall out of suspension rendering them as ineffective and possibly part of the particles you are seeing.
Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to start an argument and I love some experimentation, just hoping to give you something to think about. The company spent a lot of time and science making these nutrients and I don’t think they expected growers to be heating them up. I have used FloraNova, Technaflora, Advanced, and now the base MC nutrients in the Autopots reservoirs and have rarely ever had a problem, all without heating them up. I believe
@pop22 and
@tripaholic88 have been working with MC nutes and I would love to hear their input on this.
I know some stress about clogs, but simple weekly maintenance prevents most of them. All growing systems have at least one thing you have to double check, with autopots it’s your filters and lines.
