Badbreath Royal skywalker 15/8 Encountering problems with my tap water, I have no calmag to buffer the water, I have to lower the pH value 4-5 times a day, otherwise it goes up to 8 after 2-3 hours in the DWC bucket. RO filter on the way.

Badbreath Mitt pH värde är nu stabilt och ligger mellan 5.6-6.2. Den bubblar upp till 6.5 ibland men då sänker jag den med några droppar pH down. Ro filtret gjorde susenEfter att hon har fått calmag och näring och rent ro vatten så tog hon fart. Börjar med halva doseringen med näring, nästa vecka stiger jag med 25% Gjorde ett vattenbyte igår, ökade med 25% och la även till great white i blandningen.

Badbreath 2/9. The roots have found their way out, great white has kicked in, I don't understand why my pH value goes up to 7.5 when I have pH perfect nutrients and RO water. I still have to adjust with pH down 2-3 times a day. Otherwise, she seems to be thriving

Badbreath 16/9 This week I learned that there are 2 ways to grow Hydro/dwc. With bacteria or without, the choice for me with Shogun is simple, sterile and clean is the best way for me. I have too small a container to run with live bacteria. I get slimy roots way too easily. But thanks to you my friends, I have saved my Royal Skywalker. I changed the water and added Shogun's line of nutrients and also added Silver Bullet Root! This has totally saved me, you tell me what you think 😎 PH 5.7 Ec 1.43 Ppfd 560 WT 18/21 Celsius

Badbreathstarted grow question 5d ago
I've been feeding her with great white from above, and some of the roots have a brown slimy lump on them. When I water from above on the clay pebbles and let the water run down to the roots, some of the lumps come off and all the roots look bright white. Is this the beginning of root rot?

Hi Growmie😁 that brown clump should definitely not be there, try to wash it out thoroughly until the last bit is gone.... it's completely normal for the roots to be white..... you might be overdoing it with the watering........ keep it a bit drier and don't water so much. If you clean it properly and keep your medium drier, your problem should be resolved...... could already be the start of rot! Good luck😁

I found out that the Brown mushy was the baccterria from voodoo juice advanced nutrients. So i washed the roots and changed water. And didnt add any new voodoo juice, Does it look okey now or do i still need silver bullet root?

Your roots look much cleaner and healthy now! If you were dealing with root rot, plain water won't fully kill off the microscopic bacteria in the tub. Using Silver Bullet Roots is a solid move right now to sterilize the system and prevent it from coming back. Just remember the golden rule of hydro: choose either a completely sterile reservoir using Silver Bullet/H2O2, or a beneficial bacterial system with Voodoo Juice. Never mix them together because the sterilizer will instantly kill off the good microbes. Also, keep an eye on your water temps and try to hold them around 18-20°C to permanently stop root rot from returning.

Grateful for all the responses, without you I don't know how I would have done it 💪🏼😎 Since this is my very first plant ever. @Thundrfuk I understand, but since this is my very first plant, I couldn't fully determine the difference, and I feel like I can't afford to fail. So I took the safe option, and I found out that Advanced Nutrients has good bacteria in almost all of their nutrients except Rhino Skin. It wouldn't have worked with Silver Bullet Root since the hydrogen peroxide would have struggled to eat up the good bacteria instead of fighting the bacteria on the roots. Then I realized that Shogun is the same manufacturer as Silver Bullet, switched completely to Shogun, and now everything is running like clockwork. PH is consistently stable at 5.8 EC 1.447, she's getting PPFD 556 and 36/37 in DLI.

So, from someone who has basically always been doing DWC with Great White. You need to understand what you are using. Its beneficial bacteria but also has Mycorrhizae. Great White Mycorrhizae contains brown organic powders and active microbes that can stain roots or form a harmless bio-film layer as the beneficial bacteria and fungi colonize the root zone. This is often mistaken as root-rot, as long as the roots are white-ish, don't stink and the leaves look good! Just my two cents. Check out my diaries, been posting a few DWC grows done with GW for quite some time now.
