Starting on the right footing Finally, all the stars are aligned. The mesh nets are here. Water hose from the toilet was adapted for easy use. Bought a variety of seeds from Ban Lee Huat (BLH). Decided to ensure the starting should be with as best an optimal condition as possible. The correct pH, EC, and water quality. Hence, I dismantled the system, and wash all the parts as much as I can. Removed water reservoir and found that the pump inlet is affixed with a metal filter.
