Organic Hydro Dwc

5 plants in a homemade DWC system

. i found an organic nutrient made for hydrogardens Its the botanicare line. im having a problem with a nutrient build up on my roots that looks like mud covering my roots. i changed the solution and flushed the roots till they were white again. I mixed the nutrient solution well and i have plenty of air tubes oxygenating the water. The plants still seem to be doing fine. there are no signs of nutrient burn except 2 small spots on 1 plant. but other than that they are green and lush! is the build up normal for organic nutrients? this is my first organic grow so any help will be appreciated

well i don't run DWC but my botanicare nutes build up on my pump and lines in my drip irrigation reservoir, so I can imagine the same happening on roots.

Sounds like you may be using "Hydroton clay pellets",if that is not rinsed first then you will see a reddish mud slime on the roots and some in the res,if not then (I dont know
)

im not sure the room never goes above 78 F i am using clay but i rinsed them well! before use. i know its the nutrient.. its dark like the organic plant stimulator. it looks like the stimulator is gunking over the roots.

if it's not showing negatively on the leaves, it's probably fine...my kauna cuttings have the same, and they're fine

Organic hydro is terrible in my opinion the organic nutes do not dissolve very readily and often cause all kinds of build up. If you are going to go organic stick with soil .
