I would think that is possible
I have read there claims. My gut tells me Ph will still swing after X amount of time. But I have never used them before.
True organic you don’t have to if done correctly… Synthetic if it’s off you need to Ph. If it’s the range you want then your good.

Range for soil is 6.0 to 7.0

That is a good sign… If all new growth is healthy your back on track

Sweet!!! looks great you get any leach yet?
This is my pump if you go with a pump like this make sure it’s the low profile model

Thank You! Yes I did but it was before I set this up and it was a mess
didn’t really catch much had to build some pot elevators to get some gravity.
That’s what made me do this. That’s a nice pump like for ac condensation never thought about that. Thanks I will get one in the near future. It seems to never stop with stuff. And I’m not even automated yet.

Trust me I know. It’s addicting not sure if you seen my setup. Years of sweat and a lot of $$$ invested but honestly it’s bad Ass. I’m exactly out of ideas to improve at this moment.
This is why I mentioned you need something low profile so you don’t lose height.

I’ll save you the headache also you need to at minimum get one of those little hoses mesh filters installed before a pump. Because sometimes dirt gets in and plugs the line of the pump.

You’re gonna be really happy that you installed the trays you’re going to need it.
Now that you’re growing with synthetic nutrients you’re watering technique should change you should water with a little bit of runoff.
Then look the pot dry back before you water again.
With organic growing you don’t want to leach much at all. And you want the soil always to stay lightly moist if you dry it out you kill all the beneficial‘s in the soil
Synthetic nutrients kill beneficial‘s that’s why it doesn’t really matter which leads back to pH that’s why you have to balance the pH because there’s no beneficial‘s left in the soil to balance it for you. When growing organic the beneficial‘s do the job for you that’s why you feed the soil not the plant. If that makes sense

I should of added there is nothing wrong with synthetic growing it even has some pro’s.
It’s just a different style of growing

Had to find a place for a few girls to veg for a while ran out of room in the tent for now. This will have to do for now. Probably just end up putting a 2 by 2 tent in here eventually for a veg tent. Time to transplant these girls into bigger pots. The two little ones are clones from the grobo that @Vicc helped me with bigger one in the back is cherry pie. I’m ready to sprout some sour diesel autos. But don’t know where to put them

I bought mine at my local hardware store.
But this looks the same.
20 Pieces Stainless Steel Filter Hose Washers Inlet Hose Screen Washer Repair Kit for 5/8 inch Washing Machine and 3/4 inch Garden Hose Connector Amazon.com
But you can even just get mesh screen. Idea is you don’t want any debris getting in the pump

Just what ever you go with make sure it will fit in your system.
I seen people cut a small mesh screen install it on every drainaway tray as a option also.
Extra optional Tip
Every now and then I add some hydrogen peroxide into the drain line just to keep the system clean.

Thank you do you just dump it down the drain away tray holes. I will wait till I get mine and check Home Depot or ace for screens. Might intall them at the drain aways and pump. Got to get my hands on the pump see what I’m dealing with first. I appreciate all your help @Mpower11 !

Yes I pour a little in each hole on the tray.
No problem I’m just trying to save you the headache of all the problems I encountered over time
End of the day you just want to make sure debris doesn’t make it into the pump. The hose that discharges the water is tiny. I’ve had it plug a couple times. Since I added the mesh hasn’t happen since

Cleaned up the bottoms of all the girls. And the tops on 2 of them

That’s much better get that air flowing threw the plant. No reason to waste energy on something that should be removed. In a few days it will look like you didn’t even trim them on top
