Decided to take some advice and cleaned out the res and put in my leaching/flushing solution. 2 of the plants are a a week behind so I plan to rig up a quicky drip system. I've got an extra small pump that would normally be stiring up my res but since no nuits, no need to mix.
If my system works I'll share a photo or two. If it fails, I'll never mention it again.
Thanks again everyone
