not 100% sure but had it a few times before and dont want to take any chances. It starts with tiny red dots, which then grow with a light green halo, its quite a problem in the uk with a cold damp climate. I don't think it's a nutrient issue as its spreading to unconnected buckets that have just...

slime is under control but now got an outbreak of leaf spot fungus, starting with rust spots on the leaves but spreading fast.will a systemic fungicide kill bennies on the roots? or a sulphume hot box might help but could it kill beneficial's in the res

they gave me the au 60 free at my local shop to try it out so I might conduct an expt with it in a separate bucket.

great white is available in the uk and biobizz earth worm humus,with tate and lyle black treacle used successfully

found a product, AU 60 root repair, liquid additive, does anyone know the ingredients or if its any good, sounds like it does the same thing as tea, your meant to add 1ml per litre at changeover. But I guess if it multiplies in the tank theres a risk of it feeding the slime. Has anyone ordered...

I,m still battling away. My mothers are growing well in buckets but still with some evidence of afterslime. I have successfully rooted a few clones in my aero/sprinkler cloner but they seem to slow and stop between each application of tea.They show signs of rooting then stall untill I add more...

all looking good now , just waiting to see if cuttings will root in the aero/sprinkler cloner, just wondering if any more info has come to light on exactly what we,re dealing with? I,d be really interested in the transport vectors,as I,m still terified of new outbreaks. also at what point...

update, the plants have had a load of brown gunk (afterslime)which is now clearing, there,s lots of new root growth but the roots are clear ,very few white healthy ones. the plants are looking much better,but the problem still seems to be ongoing, should I add a higher dose of tea or continue...

a US cup is 240 ml a US gallon is 3.84 litres so I dose at 1 litre per 16 litres of reservoir Yeah I've lost a lot of hair over this, It's actually affected my life badly.

cheers man that gives me a bit more confidence. This has been going on so long it's driving me crazy.Ive a mother in soil that seems to be thriving so all isn't lost. Just to clarify something on the fist page your directions are to put in 1 cup per gallon every 3 days. for how long should you...

I cleaned the roots in h2o2 and moved them to a new clean bucket with tea they are still deteriorating. the roots are brown and coming loose,they look to be covered in a kind of fuzz. I,m not sure if it is slime that I'm dealing with, what else could it be.It seems like pythium but appears to be...

it seems to be back, the new roots were great for a few days but are now deteriorating. do I have to clean off the roots and sterilize the rez or should I add more tea?

Well, I brewed up some tea and added it to a sprinkler aero system that I normally use for cuts, nothing has survived in it for about 6 months everything whithers and dies. I popped in two rooted babies, they deteriorated very fast, the roots went brown and they looked seriously unhappy. I went...

re conspiracy. never let the truth get in the way of a good story. We've had a few outbreaks of cyanobacteria in lakes and ponds near here (blue/greeen algae) my local watersports centre was closed for a lot of last year. but these are meant to photosynthesize. The stuff in my tank grows in the...

oh yeah my great white came without a spoon how big are the spoons that normally come with it and in ml if you know, I'm all metric over here. Cheers people, this thread has been amazingly informative and explains a lot of the problems I've had, I don't know what I'd have done otherwise.
