After one final drench, Kabala is now fully dwc. The roots had zero trouble passing through the cheesecloth and everything looked great - until the jucus. The roots have globs of a jizz/mucus kinda bacterial growth on them. The top of the res water always has bubbles. So theres no question I have rampant microbial growth and I'm pretty sure it's from the Monkey Juice. If she stays healthy, it's good bacteria, if she gets sick, its root rot again....nothing to do now but wait and hope. The plants I've topped lately have taken a long time to recover so I'm gonna wait at least until the 7th node appears.
Looking for a cheap alternative to Orca/Recharge/Mic. Mass/Tarantula or something to make crazy root growth in DWC and keep root rot at bay. Would toilet compost microbes work? Pond sludge remover has helped me but I'm hoping others have ideas - I want roots like in the pic!
DNS, Dutch nutrient solution. Made for DWC. Clear nutrients. When using this your roots won't get stained, so it's easy to see if roots are doing good or something is going wrong..
Well I'm stumped...ppm 600, pH 5.9...it certainly looks like nutrient burn but it can't be, tips yellow then darken and curl and get crispy. 3 days between pics in question and in diary. My only guess is that I upgraded from knockoff 100W LED to Mars Hydro 150W. Any ideas?
Your plant is completely locked out. And is eating itself alive. To stay alive.
You need to empty out that mix. It's full of the wrong stuff.
You need core NPK grow nutrients and bloom.. get the basics going and then push the bloom boosters (when it's time, it's not now buddy)
A very light 4-600 grow mix with an enzyme in their if your water temp is below 22c.
In coco you want lots of run off. In excess till pH is right. 5.8. However much it takes to get runoff to right level pH. Then always finish with feed. Good luck. 🌱
