hi guys, seems like my battles continue. I have switch over the mr bonds suggested 5 gal recipe, so i hope this will improve. Plant growth has doubled in the past few days, but root growth is lagging. The brown easily cleans off when i shake the roots underwater.

Thanks guys, i had a feeling i was adding too much. A few questions...should i ass aditional aquasheild to the res? what is a scoop of great white and zho, 1 tsp or 1 tbl? Heisenberg, you should post this 5 gallon recipe in the first post. May help some others.

i measured the ppm of the tea today and it said 425ppm (at .5 conversion). I run my veg uc at 300ppm. So every time i add tea, i need to dilute the nutes that the plants need. Is this normal? I keep adding tea per the instructions...my flower unit is awesome, no problems. My veg unit keeps...

for my current batch of tea, i added 1 tsp of kelp meal to 5 gallons of tea at the beginning of the brew. 24 hrs later, the airstones were almost completely clogged with slime. Is this tea bad? Is kelp bad to use with tea?

How small of a filter would be bad. ie, would a 100 micron filter actually filter out the benes along with the humus?

There seems to be a lot of dark build up on my roots. I make the tea with the ancient forest directly in the bucket. Once it is ready, i filter it with a 400 micron filter, but there is still a lot of particles going into the res. It looks bad, but it easily shakes off when i shake the roots...

i have been brave enought to bump my undercurrent res temps to 71-72 and the roots still look great. Had some falling ph last week, but i added 1 cup tea per 2 gallons, and that solved it. Any thoughts on canna boost in the res? Npk 0-0.1-0.1 Derived from sugar cane plant extract...

I am using botanicare pbp grow and bloom. I doubt my P is too high. I have used them nutes for 1 year and have never seen this. This is my first run with uc and liquid light

thanks for your advice cowell, but i cannot lower my temps that low because the benes will not thrive. I use the tea to get rid of pathogens, fungus, slime, and rot. Without it, my roots will get crushed because the pathogens thrive at temps below 67...

res temps are 70 with beneficial tea. (based on Heisenberg's slime thread) large airstone with each plant and diffuser in epi center I am running co2 -side not...sprayed with dutch master liquid light 2 days ago at bottle strength I have been thinking of adding a second airstone in each res...

it is hydro, undercurrent with botanicare pbp. Plants are 10 days into flower on half grow, half bloom nutes. Roots all look great

I have some leafs curling down on all my plants. For leaves close the to light and leaves far from the light. I am thinking low humidity temp 83 rh 45 ppm 500 (.5 ec conversion)

i am confused here. Their instructions say "Add 60 ml of Gold Range LIQUID LIGHT together with 60 ml of Gold Range SATURATOR to 1 litre of water in a spray bottle" can you clarify your statement? Do you add it to water?

i saw liquid light and snow storm mention many times in this thread. Do you guys run it at full strength? Also, what strength snow storm do you foliar with? I have use canna boost as a foliar and it works great when sprayed early in flower. I mixed 5ml canna boost, 5ml snow storm, and 5 ml...

man, you guys are the best...making my experiment with dwc/uc much easier. opinions on these roots. I did add liquid karma 2 days ago.

can the plants overdose on tea? Are there negatives that arise with too much tea in the res?

they got to 250ppm. I like 475ppm max, so it was way low. The plants are about 30" tall.

nitrogen deficiency? ppm was really low,i had to double it to get it back to full strength

Interesting, how does this change your original recipe? I have been using half great white, half zho.

wow, what a relief. I am going to sleep better tonight! thanks heisenberg. So just change the water every 3rd day and add more tea? Also, i will start to clone in hydroton. Also, i dont have to worry about my veg roots because they are established? Here are some pics, no sign of brown roots...
