I know I have to be more diligent about maintenance since I’m using tap so for senors & probes I’ll be regularly checking on them and cleaning/calibrating. The nute lines are dispensing from the bottle into the reservoir, not the other way around so they’re fine and I’m using my own pump/airline/airstones so thats covered.
The only thing I think could throw things off is the fact that the autodosing of nutes isn’t actually reading your plants needs, just taking measurements of the water which don’t give the full picture so they can be off when not accounting for what’s already present in the water. But like I said, I’d be willing to manually feed if necessary. The Grobo is just training wheels for me so to speak and my goal is to be able to eventually confidently grow without it’s assistance. If my stubborness gets me into trouble that’s ok cuz it’ll improve my problem-solving skills LOL.
. You only need a chiller if your reservoir temps go above 73 degrees and you are unable to lower it with other methods (air conditioner/fans).
