I would drop the hth pool shock and try regular bleach instead. My girls hated pool shock in combination with Jack's. Worked just fine with Dyna Gro though.

These girls drink 3-4ppm of chlorine (regular bleach) at rez change.
I started with bleach and thought it was working! 6% sodium hypochlorite. I JUST now am trying the shock for the first time in this rez change

are you still running at 1.4EC?


i'd flush them for 12hrs with 0 EC water.
then start back and i would drop that down to like 0.3 to 0.5
if the roots have issues, 1.4 is probably burning the crap out of them. looks like nute lockout .

Seeds, transplanted as seedlings in late October so about 8 weeks. Had a lot of issues this round, had to disassemble the rewc system and go back to using regular buckets.

Bad sealant totally fuck them up for 3 weeks.

I've never used it. Are you getting root stain? Looks like gh micro stain.
I dont think it's stain. Everyone i know that runs floraflex has white roots, the nutes dont mix discolored at all. Plus they are weak, not slimy but slight smell and weak.

Could be from burnt roots maybe? Causing them to be weak and susceptible to rot?

Never thought of that! That could definitely be a possibility. I did a full rez change tonight dropping the ec/ppm and added in chlorine for safe guard. Idk of anything else i cam do at this point lol. Hopefully they show improvement in 2 or 3 days.

Thank you y'all for helping me I really appreciate it. Great community here!
I'm still learning myself but I've asked a lot of questions on here and have gotten some really great advice. I'm not as skilled as some on here, but i wouldn't be where I'm at without the help from some great people on here.

It's kinda odd that the chlorine hasn't cleared it up.

Well i just started the pool shock in this water swap. I gave them a sodium hypochlorite bath 2 days ago and they haven't changed at all. So hopefully this reduction of nutrients, fresh water fresh pool shock exc helps.....

If it doesnt im selling everything (including my wife) and going coco and ill just deal with the load of extra work lol.

Its fustrating going from growing great in soil and coco to failing 1x right off the bat in rdwc and starting to fail again lol. Its teuly one of those things where u just dont realize how diff it is untill you start it and stuff changes dramatically in a day or 2!! Pretty wild

My first full cycle grow was in dwc. I learned on the fly but I managed to pull it off. I only flower 1 at a time in 1 bucket. It was somewhat easier for me because I only had 1 plant to worry about. They grow big fast in dwc, but the trade off is problems happen fast so you need to stay vigilant. Once dialed in it really is easy. I started small, dialed it in, and I'm working my way to a lil larger setup. I hope you get yours straightened out. It's so cool watching the growth rate in dwc.

Thats what i was excited about to evwn from coco the veg time is half. But gosh damn these i posted pics of have been in my system for almost 3 weeks and i feel they are really really small and im just fighting something every damn day.

And the fighting part i dont get because of taken every precaution, spent the money to not try and cheat exc... it is what it is though, we live and we learn if theu don't recoup in a week ill probably trash em
