Hey guys, well almost a week has past and the smell hasn't come back, so I think things are starting to get better. A few days after my last post, i saw explosive root growth, new roots growing through are bright white and probably the healthiest roots i've seen. My question is this. If this was...

Res temps have always been fine I use a submerged thermometer and its never been above 69, i throw in ice bottles into the controller bucket when the temps reach 69. I have heard about creating a home for the bacteria and fungi to colonize but the thing i've overlooked is food for the...

I'll bare that in mind hellraizer, but are you telling me that £100 bucks worth of benificials would cause more problems and instead to use h2o2 which you could pick up for peanuts? lol!If this is the onset of something nasty, how long would it take to take over and kill the crop? days??

Hey brewer, I thought that too, though i had a gentle feel ans its not slime its feels like wet tarantula powder so fingers crossed, managed to flush with a h2o2 solution to err on the safe side but now i'm wondering, once i'v drained h2o2 and flushed with plain water a few times can i go back...

Thanks Tony, I will certainly try relax, although i know i'm going to be up there checking every few hours or so lol. Can't help it i'm constantly paranoid that its all going pear shaped :! lol. Thanks again!

Here's a few pics taking today. Seems like theres defo something on the roots, but again after trolling the forums i'm reading that pirahna and tarantula do this. Any input would be very much appreciated. I'll also post a few pics of the grow just for fun ;)

This could be it. Like i said earlier i'm having to use a good bit more ph down than usual. Also looking at the roots today its a weird sight; part of the root structure is floating at the surface while the rest sits at the bottom of the bucket... freaking me out as it just looks as though they...

Well I just done a res change, only problem is that i cant wash the buckets as its a scrog and plants are fixed in place. So i just pump fresh water in, drain, fill again then add nutes. Hopefully the ph isn't spiking because of any rotting :(. but in saying that the highest it gets is about...

Sorry Beaver, think you misread, P.h has never dropped, it still rises just what seems very quickly, its as if the ph down isn't working because i used to add just a little to bring it to 5.6 now i use maybe three times as much and it levels back out to 6.0-6.2 withing maybe four or five hours...

Thanks guys, I had been getting really worried. Was even contemploating using the liquid oxygen (17.5% Peroxide), but didn't want to lose out on nearly £100 worth of additives like the voodoo juice. This is only my second hydro grow, and man is it alot of work. Another question i had is, when i...

Oops forgot about temps lol. They sit aroung 66F but now and again it creeps up the way, I'll defo pay more attention to that ;) thanks. Love the name btw :P:hump:

Hi, I have a 4 pot re-circulating dwc setup under a scrog setup and 2 400w HPS Lights. I am currently 3 weeks into flowering, and am getting the a faint smell of vegetable from my buckets, also it seems as though the roots are browning but i've read that this can be attributed to the dark...

Well the thing is, i have only feed them water... they are only 1 week old, and these are the only two leaves on them... if these leaves are dried and curled, can my plant still grow? its still standing and looking green... my instinct tells me that the plant is a fighter and will continue to...

Well its been a while now and the leaves have turned crispy... although still green... I think i'll maybe just leave it till tomorrow and start all over if need be. Thanks for the help though.

SWIM stands for Someone Who Isn't Me, shorter for say "my friend". As for the soil, its Biobizz All Mix consisting of 20% Sphagnum Peat Moss 30% Perlite 35% Garden Peat 10% Organic Worm Manure and 5% Pre-Mix. Its a mouthful, but im only copying from the info on it. My mate says hes had no...
