Due to an annoying space constraint. I need to position and plumb these IBC's on the narrow side (as seen in the image - gap is exaggerated). Has anyone else been in a similar quagmire? My thought was to drill a 2" bulkhead fitting in the rear of one tote and use the valve on the front to connect to the next tote. Likely include some threaded unions between for disconnection/servicing. Any experience or advice to avoid headache or improve my approach would be appreciated. I'm stuck with the location sadly, and thus, this will be my orientation. Don't suspect I'll find a more suitably sized container for the relative cheapness of these ubiquitous IBCs.

Appreciate the time.
Cheers.

I really appreciate all the help. I feel like a dolt not calling on the community sooner. Along this line of nutrient deficiency. We have have very hard water that is also treated with chloramine. I had been adding about 2 teaspoons of ascorbic acid which is buffered with calcium with the intent of complexing the chloramine. Am I unintentionally binding up the magnesium? If I recall from Dr Inghams soil food Web course, fungi are essential in the mobilization of non soluable calcium so if no fungi there is calcium binding up all the magnesium... If there are resources people can point me to for more information about soil chemistry that would be fantastic.

The mix they are in it a combination putting soil (which I could see what looked like fish scales) and coconut coir and verimcastings (a granular store bought product). I noticed this the day after we brought them inside after the first day being outside. I had just given everything a first shot of a mix of fish emulsion, molasses and kelp as a liquid fertilizer.

About 9 week old plants and I started noticing this... Are those yellow verigations the beginning of the virus? Help

From the top but the focus of the spray is the soil. The leaves do sometimes get wet. We have very hard water as well.

Hello permie community. Tending to our starts this season with some great success (knocks on wood). Except these pesky brassicas! Am I looking at pest damage with those brown marks through the leaves? As well, does anyone think the variable green in the leaves is an early sign of low nitro? Our seedling mix is; potting mix, coco coir, vermicastings and "marl" which is basically a calcium rich rock dust. Our tomatoes and peppers are not showing the same condition so it's hard to dial in what's wrong. Any help would be fantastic!
