So here we are at week 4 shes got some burns but overall looking fine, As per usual any help/ advice is greatly appreciated! Will try to update at least twice a week from now on
Hey bro, been growing DWC for a long time and always battled root rot until I got bennies! I use Great White right now with great success but there are many options out there including Hydroguard. My water never develops any slime unless you start putting non-synthetic nutrients in the reservoir like your kelp additive. I would suggest rinsing any slime off the roots very gently and maybe try adding h2o2 in small doses in res to help prevent it from returning. There are two ways of going about it... Sterile or Live. Do some research on the two and you should be back on track in no time. For me just adding the great white once a week to my res and smooth sailing from there on.👊
@Grow15,You may be okay with the kelp one but contains organic material and the general rule is no organics in DWC. I cant tell you for sure sorry. Hydroguard is the best for your situation, if you can get it where you live. I live in Canada and cant get it here. Here is a user "growdiaries.com/grower/roberts%22 who is very skilled with DWC, I'm sure he would be kind enough to help you more.
@Thundrfuk, So should I stop with the velokelp once I get the Hydroguard ? Velokelp is supposed to help with root development right ? What should i replace it with or does hydroguard already cover that ? Ty
