The peroxide neutralizes the Pythium, and prevents if from spreading. And the next day I treated the plants with 5ml of bleach in 1 gallon of water. The bleach kills the remaining pythium pathogens, without harming the plants. The only downside of using bleach is that is causes the pH of the rockwool ...

Apparently one of my plants caught a cold, and ended up spreading it to the rest of the plants.. It looks like White Widow may have brought this upon my grow, since this illness only affects stressed plants, and then spreads to the rest through the reservoir. Pythium Infection My sad looking group: ...

I switched the lights to 75% (300w) - the temps barely increased, and the humidity remained the same! I've been having issues controlling the pH, that could be one reason why the White Widow has been acting ugly. 6.0 pH seems to be the sweet spot, so I'm going ...

The buckets are set to flood once per day 20 minutes each watering.

The lights are still on 50% (200w) 24/7, I'll be switching to 75% (300w) in a few days. I'm still ...

You could see how she was leaning in the previous post I guess the humidity got too high in the dome, and she couldn't pull through, and the other white widow seedling never sprouted. As you can see I'm still working on my humidity issues. I removed the humidity domes, and decided to spray the plants..spraying instantly increases the humidity ...
