I had nothing but issues in my grow starting with root rot and spinning from there. Finally gave up after a month of wasted effort and money.
The thing that got my attention right away was that my rockwool cubes were completely soaked! The thing is for the last three days I had switched my totes from airstones to waterfalls. The water level had never been higher than an inch below the net cups.
The net cups are three inch, the rockwool is one inch and there is hydroton completely surrounding the rockwool with a layer below as well. Even when I was running airstones the rockwool shouldn't have been soaked I would think. I have no idea how they could still be soaked after having zero water introduced to them for 3 days. I did notice that my lids were still very wet after removing the airstones as well.
Temp 75, humidity 70%, water 68-70, nutes .4ec and ph was 5.8 not that nutes or ph would matter in this situation.
Anyone have an idea what could have been causing my rockwool cubes to get soaked? I'm in the middle of sterilization right now but would like to get going asap. No reason to start back up if I cant figure this issue out though.
