Nothing "hot" like fox farm happy frog. Autos are sensitive to early stunting and can burn easy with any nitorgen in the meduim. I highly suggest an inert medium like coco or HP Promix (soiless mix)

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?

help in Hydro RDWC/DWC Hello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?

Now 4 days later, same roots look like #2. Had pH problems. lowered now. Gon look if its stable tomorrow. They should be ready to flip now. All other pics are also from today. Should I continue?

Root problem or not?I would like to know if this discolouration because of the clay pebbles sitting constantly in the DWC pool and colouring the roots or from nutrients or is this a root problem? There is no slimy thing or bad smell or stunt growth which can be detected.

Roots getting brown My Ph probe didn't work, PH was at least more than 0.30 (maybe 0.60) than displayed. As a result they had multiple chlorosis, now septoria leaf spots and possible Pythium since the roots are getting brown. What would you do to save the crop ? Adding mycorrhizae? Thx!

Root rot?Roots are brown but don't feel slimy and give off no odour. New root growth is virgin white. Could it be discoloration from the nutrient solution or is it the dreaded root rot? pH is constant 5.9-6.1...I added 5mL/gallon hydrogen peroxide to be safe

DWC - root video, h2o2 issue Yet another anxiety, I hope it is nothing special. But prevention is better than cure and here you all know more than I do! I added 10ml of 3% H2O2 inside the DWC through the control tube, after a few seconds there was a strange chemical reaction. -- MORE DETAILS IN COMMENT --
