How did your first hydro check go?

[Alan]

Happy New Year, growers! My first system check of 2026 involved discovering my air pump had quietly given up sometime during the holidays. The plants survived, but they definitely gave me the side‑eye. How about you?

• Any early‑year surprises in your system?
• Problems with germination or water temps
• New techniques you’re experimenting with

Let’s compare notes and get everyone off to a strong start! Let’s help each other level up this year.

Ottimo inizio, dopo tanti problemi con l’eccesso di umidità in casa che era sempre minimo il 60% fino ad arrivare al 75%, hanno fatto dei lavori quelli del piano di sopra e l’umidità è scesa al 45% probabilmente finiranno i problemi di marciume radicale

Root rot almost always kills plants. I'm glad you had it fixed. Good start for you then. Happy New Year!

Thanks, maybe a nightmare is over, happy new year to everyone
