new hydro grower

flora 3 part nutrients my roots arnt fully through yet my plants are about 2 in tall but nice and green temp is about 70 is my first time growing hydro im dont understand all the consepts to it yet but im trying and my nets have white bubbles around it! it didnt the first few days but now it does my ph is around 5.8 and 6.0
 
is there any light getting into your resovoir? DId you just start giving nutes and this happened?
 
only light is where my air hose is going into my res. it didnt happen when i first gave it nutes it took a few days!
 
Didn't dissolve the nutes well enough now they're depositing on the drying parts of your net pots as the water gets used?
 
Did you have to use a lot of pH up or down in order to get to your desired pH? I know that too much pH up will foam up your water.
You're using the liquid nutes from Flora, correct?
 
yeh im useing liquid floramicro 5-0-1 floragro 2-1-6 and florabloom 0-5-4 i have not hade to add ph up at all but iv been haveing to use down just about every other day!
 
It could potentially be algae or a bacterial formation.
The only thing I could suggest is scrubbing out your res. with 50% H2O2, refill with fresh water and add a little H2O2 to your res.
Do your air lines look clean or are they all gunked up? I've seen problems arise with clean res's but there was algae in the lines and the pump blew it all right into the clean res.
 
I would recommend getting the 50% if you can. You can get that at any hydro shop.
If you can't get 50%, you can use the 3% that you can get from any drug store. You'll obviously need to use more 3% than 50%.
It's not expensive.
 
last question i wont be able to get any of that stuff till 4-5 days should i transplant to soil untill i get h202 and darker tubes or should i wait the problem out?

Not a bad idea. I would transplant your plants to any healthy environment you can find until you get your hydro setup all sorted out.
Good luck, bro!
