Title: Algae Growth |

|
Summary: Prevent hydroponic algae from growing by blocking light to any nutrient solution. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Algae will grow anywhere light is able to touch hydroponic nutrient solution. This won't be a problem if the solution is regularly flushed. In Kratky systems the algae will compete for resources with your plants and grow exponentially. |

|
|

|
The solution is to prevent light from reaching the solution by using dark containers and covering exposed parts with and opaque material such as aluminium foil. |
