Week 2 update - here we go again. Ph - monitored and corrected daily. TDS ~400ppm so no issues. Water temps - F$&K!!! Like 23-24c. I’ve been trying to keep em down below 20c by using frozen water bottles but this is proving pretty difficult. The res. On week 1 looked to be showing signs of algae growth (I think) as early as the third day post changeover. Really hard to say how this is gonna play out. Given how responsive plants in hydro are to changes we could have root rot set in on any day of the grow if were not careful. I decided to amend the nute solution with a diluted 10ml of hydrogen peroxide in the hopes that it can stave off the algae growth a little better but who knows - might work, might not. Short of a $150 investment in a water chiller I’m running very short on remaining options to fix this issue... suggestions always welcomed y’all!👊 Oct. 2 - res. Change Oct. 5 - res. Change; cut out the h2o2 - res was lookn good so maybe this worked - we’re gonna see for sure over next 3/4 days testing without it. Always troubleshooting it seems😉. Oct. 7 - 500ml top-up Background Here we go again🙄. My next attempt at a hydro application after the utter failure that was the last. If I screw this up again then I will potentially consider giving up on it entirely😂. *Note: nute mix numbers are per 10litres.* This one’s interesting - indica dominant, super tasty and high yielding. Fastbuds does not disappoint on the whole so shes def, getting the hydro application. Here’s to hoping for a monster!🤞

@Visualize, nawe - all dosages are halved and it’s botanicare so not unfamiliar. My issue (if I have one at all) is temps. And there’s no cost effective way to fix this either. Who knows - I could just be f$&kn crazy too🤪

@TheBudWhisperer,maybe to much nutes from the beginning?i dont have any probs with dwc and i only use 3 components lately bionova superhydromix and when 3 weeks into flower i use pk13/14 and green sensations that’s it and never had an issue🙏Maybe less is more😉😉

TheBudWhisperercommented5 years ago
@Punchman, appreciate the resource dude. Might give that a shot on subseeuentgrows. My issue seems to be temps and fungal growth more than anything else. That’s what I’ve drilled down to as the problem based on process of elimination. We’re gonna see how things shake out on this one and reassess as/if necessary in the event of another total failure. Thanks again for the link. Sounds like a time saver👍👍👊

@TheBudWhisperer, I’m in the same boat as far as humidity but I’m grabbing a new 30P today hopefully, heres a great new product I just ordered for hydroponics, it only helps with PH but I had to pass it on https://growershouse.com/perfectph-natural-ion-ph-balancer-capsule

@mr_h_kovert, thanks buddy. Yeah - love all methods but this one may be a problem for my environment. Might be no cost effective way to keep temps down enough to avoid root rot... either way it was worth one more shot. Week 2/3 will probably tell the tale👍. Cheers dude👊

Make sure you don't have any light leak. Algae usually comes from light. Make sure you don't have any light leaks between the hydrotons. Also the site where you are inserting your air tubes. Is hydroguard not doing much for you? H2O2 will certainly kill every thing including the good ones. Bennies usually like temp 23-24C. I have a peltier cooler that I've drilled into my DWC bucket and have my temp set at 23C, and my grow tent is about 26-27C. How much air are you pumping? Also, you can insulate your bucket. there are some cheap insulators on amazon. But your plant looks fine in the picture. Just slight nute burn if that. Take some pics of your roots. Meanwhile, look at heisenberg tea. this is the ultimate root cleaner with good microbes.

TheBudWhisperercommented5 years ago
@MaryJaneUSA, surprising to hear that temps should be at 23c - if that’s the case then it has to be light leakage through the hydro tons. I maintain between 21-23c o. Average and I’m getting algae buildup still. My air pumps good - 2 stones in a 5gal bucket so def. enough. The h2o2 is essentially a desperate effort to avoid this bs. I’ll def. get a cover on the net pot and see if that helps. Thanks for the thoughts bud - truly appreciated👊👊👊

@mr_h_kovert, yeah I have a problem. They’re all in various stages and within the next month or so it should slow down to only 4. It’s harvest season and indoor changeover so It’s straight anarchy right now. Probably shoulda thought this trough a little more but I just can’t help myself😉. Lol

@TheBudWhisperer, to be fair it's gone well so far, still a good learning curve though. I had 2 previous attempts in soil neither of which went well! I am enjoying DWC though

Silky_smoothcommentedweek 125 years ago
Great looking buds...in order to keep the roots healty and clear try a batch of nute solution and freeze it into cubes like you put in a glass and place about 4 cubes a day in the Bucket....i know its a pain in the ass but it keeps your roots cooler and healthier....happy holiday’s and best wishes...sorry i did not see this sooner....🙏🙏❤️❤️

TheBudWhisperercommented5 years ago
@Silky_smooth, all good silk and thanks for stopp’n in! Honestly - buds are just finishing the dry and look’n fluffy and light - not on par with my typical results by any stretch. She was stunted from the start cuz taproot was too far from the res. BUT - finally got my dwc mix dialed in and made it to harvest. Next run will be all hydro for ease of maintenance and manageability. It’s just too versatile a growing system to ignore. Thanks for the inspiration girl! And best to you and yours for a “dope” 2020😉👊
