The hydro plants got very stressed last night. Roots had grown into the 3/4 inch return lines and blocked them. The recirculating pump kept pumping until it over filled the buckets and ran out the top. I did not notice until this morning. Glad I have a floor drain. The bucket with my super mega was hit worst. It was almost empty. I have moved the plant to a bucket by itself. I am waiting for the grow store to open..i am out of PH up to mix a new batch of solution. Unfortunately I am seeing brown specks on the fruit. From past experience this will turn into BER if left alone. I am spraying calcium chloride on the fruit and nearby foliage. I give about 50% chance of saving this set. Even with the trauma it still grew 1/4 inch or more on each end..over 4 inches long now. Should know in a few days if BER will take it down.
