Pythium again. ******* uncle, guess I'll have to burning the place to the ground

Holy crap... my pH jumped from 5.3 to 7.0 overnight. The 6 of them drank about 2 litres and the ppm dropped 30ppm. Do I RESET THE TANK (it's been about 4 days, 5.3 200ppm) and target 300 or 400 ppms? or just add some nutes to this tank?

jeeze, why alcohol free? somebody has to infuse this in real beer, I find it turns indica in to sativa

Still no growth. Yellowing, not enough Cal/Mg? Still 5.3 200ppm, They are not eating but did drink 1 litre (unless my dipstick is off) I wanted to top up with some more Cal/Mg but they're not eating what they have ???

Check, PC, I'm staying below 75 but it's still 73, 74, and the bottles only drop a degree or two for a few hours. I figure 3mL H2O2 every 3 days is okay. I got distracted this summer with Thripp wars and neglected the temps and pythium came back. I've been looking at ways to cool my water and...

oh no oh no oh no oh no, hope there's folks around this morning, does this look like pythium starting? These plants haven't budged in 3 days but roots were growing and encouraging when I moved them in to the tub. I even saw those ladder ones, nice and white. The water is right up to a quarter...

I'm fearing the walking dead thing again and saw enough yellow to justify the move to the tub and nutes, water is re-circ 200ppm at 5.3 using the 3 flora ones and calmag last night it was 5.2, no change in level or PPM in 24 hours I have two of them quarantined in saucers already fearing...

I haven't seen much growth in 4 days !!! I sure hope it's all root activity.

hahahaha morning, pc, thanks good to know you're still checking in, I think they are grinding to a halt again dammit not to self: I should not have lifted that net pot to check the roots, they did not like that, shriveled and stuck to the bottom. If I crack others up a bit I see nice white...

I've been reading, reading, reading, apparently 6.0 is plenty high for hydro and 5.0 - 6.0 is ok and lower than 5.0 is way better than higher than 6.0 ??????? (should have saved article) Writer suggested that the lit all revolved around magic 6.2 number because that was the highest reading on...

I'm trying to get everything right again here but if/when I ever do, i want to cut down on the H202 and I'm assuming this is that Heisenberg tea which i think I can make. This is the first place I've seen "about 2 months" after 3rd set..... do I wait that long in hydro too?

@sopappy does your rapid rooters ever get just damp or are they continuesly saturated? Yes, that's the goal, to let them get to damp or moist and not drenched, but too early to let them dry out completely. They are not continuously saturated but I try to keep them moist: I let them get to...

It's harder to get rid of than you'd think, I'm in the city, no yard, I was looking for CLEAN FILL signs hahaha yup, need planty mojo, thank you

I don't think it was the pellets but I'm afraid to leave ANYTHING untouched. It was more likely water temps or something didn't get cleaned well enough. Yup, it's in the air, literally, you can introduce pythium with bubblers for pete's sake, I never think of cleaning air hoses! The room is...

These are all NL5 x SK1 and it amazes how different they are in height, all things being equal. There's a 1 inch runt and a 4 inch stringbean and i tried to get a picture of the moss on the plug

I measured the wingspan of one of the plants couple of days ago, they have not budged. I DO see root growth though. No nutes, 5.5 100ppm (not RO) The plugs are not soggy but I am seeing little green patches starting. I fill the tray to bottom of net pot and drain every 6 hours. UPDATE re 118...

I know it sounds like that Zem but no, really, I've been getting discouraged with all the lacklustre harvests and ****** starts and often just left the room in disgust skipping chores. I got sloppy and have picked up Thripps. My DIY cooler broke earlier this summer so I've been using frozen...

as usual, right to the heart of the matter.... 18-22 (65-72) with frozen bottles, I thought I was okay to 24, (75) I guess not I didn't want to overdo it with the H2O2 either, I use 10mL per 40L (10) initially and no maintenance doses. It's a 40-60L ebb and flow tub that I use as...

I started in dirt and had great results but discarding the dirt became ridiculously awkward so I have tons of hydroton now... I've been sloppy, hydroponics demands a hugely higher standard of cleanliness. I baked my pellets for the first time for this last crop. I'm going to try again with a...

yes, that's why I put it so low in the pot, I always get some stretching that's a pump with a venturi making that fountain and a drain at the other end, re-circulating on 15, off 15 I had to clean out the slimey film everywhere, I've been to low on the H2O2 proBABly 10mL per 40L obviously isn't...
