    Beginnings of Root Rot? Please Help DWC

    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??

    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...

    Beginnings of Root Rot? Please Help DWC

    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...

    Please HELP!?

    Unfortunatly, SWIM is broke skint, and this room is budgeted. Couldn't really say what the temp is at(pretty warm though), watered the plants a couple of days ago, but it was only when the propogator was placed on the windowsill this happened. They were lookin healthy, and then a few hours later...
