Suggestion - Cleaning Mode Recipe [RESOLVED]

Community
#1

Hey everyone!
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a recipe called Cleaning Mode that allowed you to do the following:

  1. Keep the light on
  2. Turn the air stone off
  3. Perform Drain/Fills to the high float (so you can clean and flush the DWC tank)
  4. Programming so no nutes are dispensed during drain/fills while in Cleaning Mode

How do you guys clean the unit? Mine was still in “Drying Mode” so the light was off… The system wouldn’t let me do a drain/fill because it’s programmed to have no water in this recipe.

So I had to start a “dummy grow” to do a drain/fill and to get the light on. I think it would be easier if we had something like a “Cleaning Mode” feature or recipe. Thoughts?

Same here. Especially since you don’t have to worry about nutes dispensing till day 11

I Would Detach The Bottles Though, Because It Will Still Try To Balance PH Right…?

Did the same thing with previous grows! Thought :thought_balloon: I was sampling the product too much!!!

Yep! you are right @KleanRipz there is a chance the machine will try to adjust the pH but I think the chances are slim since it only does a pH check/adjust every hour.

A Cleaning Mode recipe would be pretty helpful!

Formally requested a "Cleaning Mode’ recipe via the established process :grinning: :crossed_fingers:

I 100% agree with your thoughts. It was weird that I had to do the same thing to keep the lights on to deep clean after a grow.

@miami5th when you do the last drain and fill, do we leave the black water resorvoir completely empty?? it doesn’t say??? Not going to start my next grow for a few days so what would you suggest?

hey @Manny yes, you should completely drain the black water tank. The drain process won’t totally remove all the water and you’ll need to remove the rest yourself. I ended up getting a small siphon pump that really helps. That and paper towels to soak up the remaining water. Good luck buddy!

This new recipe will allow all growers to drain and fill their unit as often as they like, without dosing nutes or balancing pH.

It has lights on, fans off, bubbler off. You can clean and calibrate your probes in this mode!!

Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy a 420 recipe present from me!!

Cheers,
Stephen
