Cyanobacteria goes through RO Membranes, adding an inline UV will remove it from the water, but I think its going to end up in my buckets no matter what. If its in my tap water, its in/on everything. My plants are done for I think, so I said fuck it and went and got some bene's, gonna make a...

Thanks for sharing your experience man. Things have been a roller coaster since I posted last. I got the ppm's up and dried the rockwool out. Plants looked better for a while, started getting the brown slime Algae which I always thought was just root rot, but I have since learned all about...

Thank you man. I'll drop that water level and get the extra nutes in tonight. Advice and peace of mind are priceless, you've given me both, much appreciation. :peace:

Yeah, I had a lot going on in that gigantic post! Sorry about that, I just wanted to be thorough. So do you think I'm good for now with the 1/4 strength in there, or should I up the Cal/Mag a little? Also, how long before I should start seeing results from changes like this? I remember...

Ugh, should have kept the Cal/Mag in! :wall: Is droopiness the thing to look for when trying to decide if its deficiency, or burn? Thanks for your input brother! :peace:

Thanks for your reply Brother! My ppm's were running around 300 before but no Cal/Mag. I now have it at 170 but with Cal/Mag. Would you recommend bringing it back up to 300's? And how aggressive should I be with the Cal/Mag? Just run it at normal conservative levels, (1/4 strength) or...

You think nute burn too? Do you think keeping them at 170ish for now is ok or should I go lower? Thanks for any advice. :peace:

Thanks for the compliments on my setup, I'm pretty proud of it. A lot of good its doing me... I keep thinking nute burn too. Whats throwing me off is that they seemed to do fine at the high ppm for a while. The purple stems, and the Cal/Mag thing are throwing some doubt in there. And I...

I mixed some SM-90 at 5:1, and sprayed the medium and roots with it to finish off the Algae, and in case there were any bugs too small to see or hiding deep in the medium. I flushed them thoroughly with RO and I tested the runoff. PPM was 0 but the pH was pretty high (7- 8 on the first two...

3 Days later they looked terrible. Wilted, with rust all over the lower leaves, and some starting on some of the newer growth. I thought it was the nute burn catching up so I drained some more water and lowered the PPM to around 90 by adding RO water and the appropriate amount of DMZ. At the...

Everything Remained Stable for the next week or two except the humidity which dipped just below 40%. They started looking wilted at one point so I gave them some RO foilar spray every now and then. The BM starting showing small amounts of "rust", and the C-99 were turning a little yellow. They...

The Story: For germination I just soaked the Rockwool and dropped the seeds in, they popped pretty quick and were looking strong. I placed them into the system as soon as I thought they could handle the HID. I put the light around 21/2 to 3 feet from tops, and set the ballast to 50%. I fed...

Hello Everyone! I have been lurking on these forums for a while now, but this is my first post. I'll get right to the details, but first, I want to say thank you to all the amazing people who contribute to these forums. I have learned so much here, and I am grateful for that knowledge. This...
