Southern ag garden friendly fungicide is about 1000x more potent then hydroguard.
So you dont waste money next time .
Add your nutes, . Then add you additives then bennys like hydroguard. Then ph
Also so you know... Your nutes will be much more stable as well as your ph..... Of you dilute them into a solo cup and add them slowly as you stir. . Especially if you dikute your ph adjusters.
For example i need three capfulls to do my 15 gal res. I get three solo cups of water and dilute each cap of ph down. And then add them slowly and stir my res.
My ph doesnt rise the next few days.
Compared to adding stuff straight into the res at full strength.
Hope that helps bud .
Good luck

Hydrogaurd in last after ph adjustmemts
Wait - how are you growing - soil, soilless, or hydro or?
If your doing hydro, everything goes in your rez.
Even with soil, everything ends up in the water you feed them, so either way, I dont see why you have separate jugs of nutes and hydroguard?

Re read the post... Add. Hydroguard last...
Then add the final mixture to your plants
...
What is so confusing?
If your doing it wrong then start over.

Well you never mix the concetrates together .. You did it wrong pal.Well I mixed them all in a jug an put it in so 
Re mix a fresh res because most of your nutrients probably precipitated out of your solution
Aren’t they mixed anyway tho??

Do not mix concentrated solutions together befor diluting them ....
They bind together and throw your system off.
Do it how i explained above.
Just put some water in them first?

I get a solo cup of water and add my concentrated nutrient and it Stir it up , walk away for a few min to let it difuse . Then slowly add it while stirring
Then wait 5 minutes befor adding your next nutrient
And dont add all of your concentrates to one cup.. Dont be lazy.
Wash it out and get fresh water after each nutrient .
Thanks

If you go too warm you risk slime and root rot in you res. Unless you use a produxt like southn ag garden friendly fungicide or great white myco from the start. Or if you run a sterile res using hrh pool shock or 29% food grade h202.
Ideally your res should be around 65-70f
You go a bit warmer without as much risk if you use one of the methods above. You can get upto 85 res temps.
Air temps 70-80f
Air temps are in range about 70-75. Resovoir usuallly at 68-69. Just yesterday temps were topped out at 91. Reservoir was like 86. Just was kind of hot an they sprung back up. I will take a picture when I get back.

Next time just stick a rooted cutting into hydroton rock balls instead of a peatpod or whatever you used.... Organic meterial in your resevoir will cause slime . And root rot.
Your roots look ok.. Hows the smell?
If it smells like potatoes and garden soil your good ... If it smells like shit and actually smells bad then your in trouble
Hydroguard is expensive .
Southern ag garden friendly fungicide
You dilute how much youll need for the day only .....dilute to 1/20 and then use 1/2 a ml per gallon of resevoir you have.
A little bottle will last you a year vs amaybe one grow with hydroguard
Same exact ingredient

Roots don’t smell. I took my plants out of the jiffy peat things two days ago. I have the lil clay rocks. So things should be a lil better.and thanks see if I can find the southern Ag next time

You took them out of the soil?
They may stunt for a week or so but hydo clones are pretty tough . Play it out
