Default Hydroponic Dwarf Cavendish Progress

It has been six weeks already since I started by hydroponic banana project. It has been challenging at times to address the issues that have come across but I am making good progress.

The plant suffered from transplant shock and started to wilt. It lost a few leaves and it took about 3 weeks to recover. Then it started to grow new leaves. I just did a complete water/nutrient change a couple of days ago and it started to wilt as it had to adjust to the new water. The drain at the bottom of the bucket had a slow leak that got worse after I changed everything out and it made the water level drop down to halfway over 4 or 5 days. I switched out the bucket so I can repair the leak in the valve.

More in depth details can be seen at the link in my signature.
