Most all of them lasted.       The ones that did the worst were in the tub that has the lowest nutrients, but now some of those are waking up because now they are getting good nutrients and are now getting more sun because the pest pressure now is much lower.

I believe because we were getting so much rain the plants were not destroyed, that and as the water level went lower the rate of the flow of water in the rope went down lower so it gave a life line to the plants.

I am looking forward to next year to see what this system can do with full nutrient levels.
