Today is day 18 from sprout. Battling very much brown slime on roots and in res! Please help! Started with applying h20w and then got hydroguard. Then made the beneficial fungus Heisenberg tea. Still have the brown slime, slow growth, and some leaves are curling up on the tops now.
my friend, use hydroguard, your roots will thank you. also, you have straight up light leak. that is a straight no no. however, your plant doesn't look bad. - if you can't get hydroguard, try great white
@MaryJaneUSA, Thank you for your input. I have been using Hydroguard, as well as ewc "Heisenberg" tea. I filled all the net pots with the hydration a couple weeks ago, but just discovered today that light was still leaking in, going to get neoprene inserts and lids, whatever I can find at store tomorrow to better light proof, going to change res and clean it out and then add Hydroguard and hopefully with the fixed the light leaks the algae doesn't come back!
It’s like hydro Guard but cheaper. I pour the whole bottle in a spray bottle then fill the rest with water. Spray roots, air line, and bubbler. I do this twice a day it helps a lot. I also put a thermometer 🌡️ in each bucket to make sure that it’s not over 72 degrees cause higher than that is no good. I also made sure that there is zero light. Penetrating threw the buckets and lids.
Best of luck with your first grow. Your going to love these genetics. Respect on hydro for your first grow, nothing easy about this. Keep up the great work and best of luck with the rest of your grow
Thanks so much! Appreciate the encouragement. I got a 2x4 tent kit complete with the hydro from super closet. Didn’t quite realize what I was getting into until after I ordered it but I am excited to overcome the challenges!
