Just the straight distilled water in the tank it's only about 30 ppm. With the nutes the meter reads about 250 ppm. So, pH was at 6.3 last night about maybe a bit lower, today it's at 6.8 which is decent. I think the pH is starting to not rise so quick, usually it would be in the middle 7's by now. I guess the Hygrozyme is doing it's job. Set up three No-Pest Strips, probably an overkill lol, but those damn gnats seem to be multiplying again.

You should have used 90ml of hygrozyme.
You have a 6 gallon res, 6 x15=90. Next res change use 45ml from then on. That's what I do and look at the pic of my plants at 21 days. ☼


I'm going to do a full drain and replenish when I get a chance today, get the pH of the water to 5.8ish. Add a small amoun of nutes about 220 ppm's worth to get the whole res to about 250ppm. Still a little flaky on how much Hygrozyme I should be adding. The bottle recommends 8-10 ml, and not over 15ml for each gallon I believe but I think it's referring to only when you add a gallon and so forth now for all 6 gallons.
HUH\WHAT? Follow my directions above. Also may throw in a Mosquito Dunk to take care of any larvae that the gnats may have already planted in my RR.

Things seem to be clearing up finally which is awesome, plant's are showing some new leaves finally all over the place got new leaves sprouting out on a couple of em.

Strange thing is one of the girls is turning yellow from the inside of the leaves out, and some others don't seem to be affected at all. What's the yellowing about, should I be concerned? Thanks.

Ain't never seen anything like that, I'd be concerned as all hell.

Here are all 6 of the girls, in COMPLETELY different stages of growth lol. It's been 11 days since all of them have at least shown their 2 round leaves, and most had 2 small leaves in addition to the round leaves. How are they doing? (click a few times on the pic to get larger, high-res pics)

I saw some little white specks in the water as I was closing it up, it was completely cleaned out before I added stuff so it wasn't there before. Maybe the hygrozyme interacting w/ the nutes somehow? NOPE. Also noticed a brown line right about at the 6 gal mark, i'm thinking it was the hygrozyme prob not an issue,
I was thinking, since the hygrozyme kills all bacteria, beneficial or not beneficial (I think), or I might be thinking of hydrogen peroxide. But I threw a mosquito dunk in the res as well which releases a beneficial bacteria (Bacillus thuringienis israelensis). Was thinking maybe the hygrozyme would kill that as well? Oh yeah, that shit will get eaten up also. I may be thinking of hydrogen peroxide so let me know if im off track lol.

Not sure how much of a difference having good nutes are, i'm going to stick with the SH nutes unless they are terrible. I may invest in some Liquid Karma though, what do ya think about this product?
