I now have white roots coming through the net pot and starting to intertwine with the brown roots since iv been adding frozen bottles twice a day. The brown roots are not getting darker and the slime seems to have slowed down aswell which is great. All iv been adding is frozen bottles and oxyplus. Having problems here in uk getting hold of hydroguard so im thinking of going chemical unless any1 knows where to get? I can get pondzyme and great white but it seems aquashield is the stuff to get but none here in uk.

Well 12 hours later and the 4 iv transplanted to cocoa have just took off health looking wise. But one of the 3 oxypots was drooping this morning i checked ph and it had risen from 5.5 last night to 6.5 this morning! I put that down for using straight tap water and not standing for a day or 2. Hopefully it will perk up later after re-adjustment. Have used the canadian express bio balancer,wilt guard and regen a root and have noticed bits of root etc floating in res and its a little more mirky than before when i started using this line. Would this be the bio balancer doing its work or do i more problems??

Heres an update, 2 days ago i cleaned my buckets,airstones etc with watered down bleach and sprayed my roots with a light mix of oxyplus and added oxyplus to res. yesterday i changed res again and added biopac by vitalink,canna cannazyme and canna aqua a and b vedge nutes . I cleaned everything a day before with oxyplus etc as to give a level playing field for the good bacteria etc to fight the bad.
Has anyone used biopac before and is it good to run cannazyme with it? The reason i used the cannazyme was for it to eat up the dead roots etc as the biopac im led to beleive doesnt have any zymes.????? Well 1 of my buckets is starting to show signs of slime again on end of roots is this the cannazyme? Or maybe i should just give it time

To me the more I used h2o2 that oxy this and that.. Slime just came back stronger or different then before. Prob best to start over with good temps, good benes and drop all the h2o2 this and that.


Cool temps, beneficials and light nutes is the key.

I used the oxyplus the last time and gave my pots etc a good clean b4 i added the biopac and cannazyme + nutes and to be honest there was new growth the nxt morning. T he slime turned a real dark snotty green after 36hrs then dark brown and then started to dissapear. I think maybe the cannazym made the slime worse to begin with before the biopac had fully took hold and started to battle the bad bacteria??

Awesome that's basically what I stated but with the enzymes (cannazyme). The brown snot you see is the enzymes eating away all the dead roots, just be careful pearly white today sometimes darker brown tomorrow, its nasty when you are battling the slime.

I would do it as often as possible for a few weeks then go week or longer. Problem lies in the beneficials some start to get going in 24-48 hours so maybe a weekly change is better with beneficials now my Sharksbreathe is letting up a little lol.

Im going to change the rez on the weekend and im going to leave out the cannazyme as heisenburg says that the bennies actually make their own enzymes and the cannazyme may be feeding the slime...any thoughts on this anyone???
