ahh i know changing the res too much can stress, i try to only do it every 4-7 days now

Im using lucas formula with general hydroponics, my res temps never ever go above 70, i prefer them at 63-66 now. I almost think it could be brow algae. Also My earth worm castings didn't ship untill yesterday. Would not recomend dirtworks. Im quite certain that the plant will survive lots of...

a closer look, and all of my roots do have new white growth. But the ph rise and merky water tell me i should do another res change tomorrow, that way its been exposed to the aquashield and pythium has less a chance to gain a foothold

hmm a few updates. So changed res added aquashield at max strength, nute added at 230ppm, let run for a day ph went up about a point over night balanced, then went up to 7.5 after work then balanced it back, good new root growth but same old ph mirky res problem. looks better but not 100%

well checked my shipping, my aquashield and zho is out for delivery. No idea when my ewc will get here so will probably throw in recomended aquashield amount till then

no doubt mine never get above 70 anymore, they even go as low as 63 sometimes, but he could have additives?

almost forgot for a moment, seems like i have enough D.O.? and should i raise my lights, i have heard of plants getting too bushy haha?

does AN have problems with high res temps? also i hate posting negative stuff but some of my roots are gettining darker and a couple more or less fell off. The res is staying healthy and doing a change tomorrow, will probably be waiting on tea for a week! should i keep my ppms down cause of the...

they only drank 30ppm but im sure there dealing with some stress from all the flux

well no ph spike in 20 hours, awsome for me haha holding a steady 5.8 which is my ideal. res temps dont go above 70 now even after sitting for 12 hours with just one bottle of ice. Hoping for that explosive growth cause my roots are almost all in water. Yep she seems okay for now :)

well no ph spikes in six hours a good sign, will see in 10-12 hours. i think jimmyjam22 and lordgin may have been right water pump is not gettting much use and i think i may just leave it off for awhile or just once a day for a min

my tea recipe, sub the ancient forest for black gold ewc. https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/361430-dwc-root-slime-cure-aka.html using original formula on first page, will look into mycogrow soluble

everything has been cleaned up again. I think its cause i neglect to change the water bottle till res temps reach 70 or i go to bed that. the slime came back not much more but more foam lol. there on 250 ppm. the res itself is 350. h202 at 1-1/2 table spoons a gallon, ran some water h202 through...

ya my roots touch water and i got some super white new ones! (hope lol) im going to make a tea that is suppose to be amazing according to most growers. Apparently its strong enough to not watch res temps and no light proofing. They used it in a clear container and had no problems. and its super...

sadly its out of season and damn impossible to get earthworm castings unless i drive like 3 hour trip there and back. so i payed the shipping and now i must wait. probably be doing bi weekly res change untill tea is ready. Found a nice h202 3% that has no stabalizer (my friend uses ones with...

passed out earlier then normal but going to do another res change, bump to 400 ppm, 300 seemed good. do a little h202 pour through my cubes and a dip of the roots. start brewing a tea with just ewc, until heisenbergs tea supplies arrive. Hope she survives new growth is always there but stunted...

ya im thinking tea time, going to start if i can first with just nursery bought earth worm castings and thats all for the tea, then ordering the aqua clean and zho powder with heizenbergs method. going to change rez every couple days ph is better but still mirky water. pic tonight

ah so reservoir change today. Think i found my problem. I wasen't sinking my frozen water bottle. so much slime hiding out in the bottom. So drained that crap rinsed out with bleach and water, filled up with bleach water mix threw in water pump and airstones, lets er go for a bit, then rinsed...

hmmm anyone else has suggestions? i will look into both a little more

ah i do soak my hydroton in a ph balanced solution for 24 hours anything that touches the water gets a soaking, same for rockwool. But my ph rised from 5.3 to 8 while i was sleeping. the plants still some how growing but i think it should be fried. Reservoir change today. going 250-300ppm with...
