So same issue as the rest of my strains had a problem maintaining the pH this week kept Rising above 8 was finally able to get it stabilized to 6, however I noticed that she was thriving more at a higher pH at about 8, now I noticed at pH 6 she's not as green and getting as Big at the same rate I don't know what to do I'm going to give it another week.

The middle of week 4 ended up being pretty bad. Started seeing Brown roots and developed slimy Gunk on them. I was devastated. I did a complete res change and added hydroguard. The next day while checking on her I noticed the hydroguard was like a steroid for the slime and she was leaned all the way over and drooping. In an attempt to save her I added 5 ml of bleach to the res. Again I'm a first-time grower and I was reading a lot of stuff and I figured I would just kill all the bacteria even the beneficial. She didn't like the bleach water very well continued drooping. Ended up changing water completely and lowering PPM from 855 to about 620. The next morning she showed clear signs of improvement she wasn't drooping as much and she was starting to straighten up. Each day that has passed she has improved and this is what she looks like at the moment. My poor baby went through a bad week. Cut back on all the organic stuff and for now will be running a sterile dwc. Also I forgot to mention above that my AC had gone out while I was at work and so they were in a grow tent and the temperature reached 97 degrees which is what I believe contributed to the bacterial growth in the water. This affected all five of the strains.

Beautiful man wish I had the money and skills needed to grow hydro I want to try coco some day but dwc is too serious though you can’t make any mistakes I mean they’re easier to correct but if your Reservoir runs out of water or you lose power or anything the roots dry out anyway in the plants dead in hours

@Bvj83, it’s not worth it unless you know what you’re doing and have a backup generator I have bad luck

@@SNoWfLaKe420, The system itself wasn't bad I got eight five gallon buckets with a air pump that has 8 ports for approximately $160 through hydrobuilder you can check it out

As long as you’re home all the time it should e fine but that’s the thing with hydro you lose power for 2 hours and your crop is dead

@Bvj83,yes hope you don’t lose power either that’s why I wouldn’t try DWC unless I have a generator
