Wk 4 was where I started to notice things weren't as they seemed. Continuous growth and some LST started towards the end of Wk3 and throughout 4 as different plants developed.
The 3 girls in the Coco were looking wonderful, with nothing really done to them.
- Towards the end of the week I noticed my leaves on the girls In the aero were now dramatically wilting and discolouration continued.
- I flushed the tank and proceeded with just water.. 12 hours later after some research I realised I most likely have root rot!!
- The following morning I took a look at the roots in more detail and what I thought was a bit of nute burn from the gunky root juice was in-fact slime.
- I again drained the tank and rinsed the roots with tap water. Fortunately I have an adaptable tap and managed to hose them with an actual hose sprinkler! (it was better than a shower head). To my surprise most of the slime and damaged root matter rinsed away. I literally just scrubbed the whole tank with Flash bleach and rinsed the absolute crap out of it.
- Again more research educated me that organic fertilisers are generally not great for hydro
- I also realised that amazons system is terribly designed. The red sprinkler covers which are there purely for inspection let an immense amount of light penetrate through. This was another noob mistake I learned the hard way!
Moving on I bought some Regen -e- root and pursued my crusade!
