    Two plants, two problems

    I know it's been a bit but I figured I would post an update of sorts. The stubby plant on the right has blown up into a monster, and at 3 months it still in veg which is very odd for an auto. The other plant was harvested with 50 grams net dry so it was probably stunted by the root rot. I've...

    I put frozen water bottles in the res twice a day, the temps usually around 21 but sometimes gets up to 24 by the time I put in the new bottle. I have done the peroxide route for a bit now but don't seem to be having much luck unfortunately, the tea sounds promising but I didn't really want to...

    So here are some updates, I got rid of my one airstone that was clogged and made it so the tube bubbles directly into the water, I adjusted the pH so it stays at 5.8 religiously rather than drifting to 6.2 then get put down and I started foliage misting with a little Epsom salt. Both plants are...

    About two weeks ago I did a reservoir change and the roots had wrapped themselves around my air hose so I touched them in order to get the plant out of the bucket. My pH increases very slowly, I usually start it at around 5.7 and it drifts to 6.0 over the course of 7 days, with small increases...

    That's a pretty snazzy looking pH probe, I work in a lab and always want to just take one of the probes home with me since I can really tell what a POS I have back at home. Thanks for the help though guys I will post some follow up photos as things come along and hopefully changing the pH a bit...

    That's a great guide, thank you! I was thinking that Mg seemed to be the most likely so I added a bit of Epsom to see if that may help. I think I may invest in hydroponic specific stones too as these are just bubble bars from petsmart so they tend to make bigger bubbles than what may be ideal. I...

    Sorry about the lighting, I tried using a different colored light for these hopefully that helps! I had an issue with brown algae building up on my buckets walls and tubing but after I kept adding the ice bottles and the temps stayed cooler it seems to have cleared up. The roots are slightly...

    It is a 6 watt pump and I have two air stones in each bucket.

    I am a first time grower but jumped right into hydroponics as I have a tendency to try the coolest stuff first. I have two straight forward DWC system with two 5 gallon buckets with two air stones each. I add frozen water bottles in the morning and evening and have been monitoring the temp with...
