| Well I thought about like taking clones every week, and that way I always have fresh bud every week...so if I did this, I'd have to take the plants out briefly and clean and put them back into the extended resevoir I'm using for my hempies.

| you could probably get away with cleaning your gear once every 8 weeks. but i do same as cheese, i clean usually after every harvest, or clone cycle in the cloner.

| So other than bleach in aerocloners and Clearex on hydroton, you clean only with water? What about fill and drain hoses? | ||

| the fill hoses i haven't checked recently and probably could use cleaning, the drain hose i just remove and clean with the old toothbrush as best i can, with plain water. the drain hose are actually short enough that i can reach the middle from both ends with the toothbrush. they are clear, so that helps me get them relatively clean.

| Could black fill and drain hoses which have been in constant use for years and never cleaned cause a problem? | ||
