Haven’t seen that before. Might be some kind of glitch going on.

So Shortly after we did the weekly drain and fill we noticed bottle 3 and 4 completely drained.

I put in a ticket but it figures it is a weekend.
First the PH probe didn’t come calibrated. Now this. We are not off to a good start.
I have back ups but don’t want to put them in because clearly something is wrong.

So we did a drain and fill so there would at least be clean water in there - just no nutes till we hear something back from Grobo.

Leaving your plant with no nutrients doesn’t help the ph levels adjust! You need to recalibrate your probe!
For what its going through your plant looks good!

Hi @Bplatinum9
We did not have a choice. I was not going to hook up another couple bottles just so they could be sucked right back into the box.
Support emailed me today. They recommended that I hand-dose 15 ml of bottles 3, 4 and 5. I will do that tonight when I get home from work.
Nothing was said about recalibration yet. Yes, I assume when whatever it is that is wrong with the system is fixed, I will have to recalibrate yet again and do another drain and fill as well.
They said the team is looking into it and will let me know - soon I hope. I also learned that my bottom fan should have turned on by now as well. Ugh!
I really just want the Grobo to function as it should.

Hey @C453Y,
We want it to work as it should too! We’ve not seen this issue before and have escalated it to our software engineering team for further investigation. Will update you as soon as we have some insight into what’s happening with your system.
Cheers,
Stephen

I Came home and added the 15 ml each of bottles 3, 4 and 5. The roots look pretty bad - brown and yucky.
Spun the unit around and was able to see that the fan was in fact not running. I unplugged the unit and waited a bit then plugged it back in. I saw and felt the fans kick on but once the system boot was complete the fan/s came to a stop.
We purchased this system because on the reviews and the notion that we would be able to grow my medicine in a relatively easy environment.
The plant really looks bad and I fear I’m gonna have to start over yet again - that is if the machine can get dialed in and function correctly.
I do appreciate that Support is working on it and trying to find a solution.

Day 17 - Early Vegetation (Day 7 / 14)
Well the hand-dosed nutrients we added last night seemed to help out for sure as the plant is looking better.
@Dani has been integral in keeping me calm and communicating what’s going on. I am hopeful that the Grobo team can get this system dialed in and in the process help with keeping our plant alive.

Day 19 - Early Vegetation (Day 9 / 14)
Support ticket ongoing.
Looking forward to getting the problems with this unit resolved.
Ordered Hydroguard as a preventative measure. Having some root discoloration and it may be a bit of root rot.
Ordered WIFI extender to rule out possible connectivity issues.

Day 23 - Early Vegetation (Day 13 / 14)
Support Ticket: Day 9
Started using Hydroguard on Saturday after weekly drain and fill.
Hand-dosed 15 ml of bottle 3, 4 and 5.
WIFI Extender bumped connectivity from 60% to 75%.
Overall, I wish the plant looked healthier - less wilted.
