So here are some pics, the plants look good, but i noticed they stopped growing, like they went into nute block or something, so when I went to check the PH, I see there was all this slime and gunk on the roots, i am using an aeroponic system with drippers and the usual, bubble stone, pump, etc. I am following the FF's hydro schedule, and instead of adding nutes to the res for the 2nd week, i changed the res, like all my friends told me to, maybe I should of just added to it. My roots were soooooo white and vibrant, and now, I am soooo depressed

I can not figure out why this happened, and i really don't know what to do. I sprayed the roots by hand with a sprayer with only ph'd water in it to 6.0 and cleaned the roots, then an hour later, they were slimy again.

What can I do to fix this? Should I empty the res and just run ph'd water for a day or?


Please any and everybody, if you can help, it is very invited and needed.








thanks in advance

in aeroponics everything has to be sterile...and i have learned thru experience that it is better to have a seperate tote for ur res so there is no need mess with ur roots when changing it
also temperature of water is a big factor in aero and root rot...it should be around 68f

but I never had a problem before, even in the DWC system i had going for a couple of weeks, then I transferred 2 of the surviving plants, (The ones in the aero sys, the ones with the long roots), so now what, I just emptied the res, and what is the best way to clean the res? with what cleaning solotion. And I as going to run PH'd water only for a day to hopefully clean them out?? any thoughts, amybe with some ice cubes in the res?

wow
thats def ur prob
get some root rebound and use that
try to at least get it below 72
thats the main reason y u got it...that and exposure
the seperate res makes everything easier

u can clean it with bleach....make sure u thoroughly rinse it
as of cooling u can try liter or gallon bottles frozen with waer...this takes constant movement of bottles to maintain temp
there r also water chillers,evaporative coolers
