NFT greenhouse solution checks

Hydroponic houses fail from stale solution, not from missing soil. Walk the house each morning, log EC and pH, and dump the tank weekly.

Daily

  • Record EC, pH, and solution temperature
  • Look for wilt, leaks, and algae in channels

Weekly

  • Scout for pests under leaves
  • Sanitise and refill the reservoir
