Maintenance: How often do I need to replace the wicks?

We recommend replacing the wicks approximately every 3 to 5 harvests and cleaning them manually under running tap water after each harvest.

The most important signs that the wicks need to be replaced are:

  • A lot of old roots that are strangling the wicks.
  • The seed pads are not getting enough moisture
  • The wicks appear drier and more compact (in contrast to their original fluffiness).
