Thats very strange that your roots dried up and started to smell just because you lowered the water level. How far did you lower it? I usually leave about 2-3inch between bottom of net pot and water and have let it go much lower and never had any these issues (in fact they usually loved it...

Res temps are a bit high, try keep them @ 75 or below, higher temps cause less oxygen in the water and can cause root rot. You dont need all those additives aswell, why not simplify it to just the GH Flora series? You will grow perfect amazing plants with just GH flora series. Plants only eat...

I dont change the res at all during a grow, just top up with water and nutes. Im not sure if you will get a decent grow at all with no nutes, there just isnt enough minerals in water to grow a plant healthily to the end. Usually when a plant is in dwc after about 2-3 weeks of veg in just water...

I just put a small bit of sponge at the end of my ph pen cap and kept that moist with tap water and it stayed calibrated fine.

With CO2 plants can handle higher temps. 85 should be ok with CO2, ive heard of up to 90-92 with CO2, but I personally wouldnt try that high. How are the leaves looking?? They will tell you if temps are too high

You using hydroton? if so was it flushed very well before use? Are you only using GH 3 part with no other additives?

I dont at all. Its perfectly possible to not change the water/nutes during a whole grow, just top up with water/nutes when needed, its what lucas (who made the lucas formula) used to recommend. However if you mess up you have to dump the water/nutes and start with a clean batch, so you have to...

Im running a Lightwave 600w digi ballast and phillips hps bulb, no issues after at least 7-8months. However I also have a mag 600w running beside it and no issues with that either. Neither is loud or hot and I cant notice any light difference between them. So im not so sure about all the hype...

i only used superthrive once on 2xcontainers, i use it mainly for cloning

i was told it was ok with gh nutes, i didnt use much anyway, 40ml 6% h2o2 per 29 litres. havent noticed any issues yet, hopefully the hermie pull wont cause any issues

I couldnt get any hygrozyme where I am so I just added some 6% H2O2, I hope I dont start seeing any root rot :(

I had to pull a hermie out of a 6 site dwc container - GH Bubba Kush. I cut the roots out, but there is a possiblilty of some roots left (not much, a few inches) in the root mass of the other 5 plants. Will this cause a problem? My res temps are quite low as it is cold here at the moment (res...

thanks for the info, i dont mind having the plants small as they will be a test, if all goes well then il do a full grow of clones straight to 12/12, at the moment i only have enough clones for 2 out of 6, 6 site dwc containers.

interesting, i have a submersible pump here, maybe i could just put that in my bubble cloner and circlate the water to heat it.

:clap: you think??? i was thinking pure hydrochloric acid would do the job.... Obviously water, but how to administer without keeping cubes too moist and not having to spray them a few times a day, that's what i was trying to find out, because the root triot cubes hold a bit extra water than...

I had a bubble cloner set up with another set of clones, but I couldnt afford an aquarium heater at the time so they wouldn't root after 10 days as it is too cold at the moment, that's why i went with the heated propagator and cubes for now. I'll definitley be using the bubble cloner on the...

They are going straight into 12/12 though, no veg time, most people say you need some decent roots before putting into 12/12. How many roots and rough size would I need to drop into 12/12? I suppose I could mist them a few times a day, a bit risky though if im not around and they dry out :(

I tried using water but it keeps the cubes im using too moist, did you read the full post? the exact question was "How can I keep the roots moist without keeping the cubes too wet?" Of course I googled and searched this site first, I'm not looking for a guide on HOW to clone or what to buy (...

bump.. anyone any other suggestions?

Would fimming it be a good idea to bush it out to get more sites for cloning?
