Clusters of white stuff in my watertank (hydroponics)
Newbie101started grow question 3 years ago
When I stur in ly water tank, I notice some white flake like things comming up. It lays at the bottom but when I mix the water, it spreads out and some settles on the surface afterwards. I tried to take a photo, but it’s hard to see on them. Has anybody had this before?

Could be precipitating certain things in there.. if you add things in the wrong order it happens.. I noticed when I used silica it’s finicky about temp and ph of water you add it to. Always put silica first, then cal mag, then micro, then everything else.. if it’s a system like GHs flora trio

I was coming onto the exact same thing that hempkid is saying. I would start there and get your water tested

Probably (not 100% sure) could be hard water. I have similar from excessive amounts of calcium in water. My PPM straight out of tap is 250.

When Should I Consider More CO2?I flower my plants in a mylar lined box, roughly 2' deep by 4' wide by maybe 6' tall, using two 300W Mars Hydro LEDs.
With that amount of light on the plants, would you recommend more light, or CO2 supplementation, and if so how much?

Humidity too low, any ways getting 60% without a humidifier?I am struggling to get my humidity high enough as it keeps trying to fall to 30-40% and I'd like it to be above 60% - any good tips how to do this and how much it will affect the plant? Laundry hanging near tent gives ~10%+, I've also tried misting some water every few hours.

Does it matter that vapor from a humidifier is going directly to leaves?I got a humidifier which was outside the tent because of little space, the vapor was going high and then being sucked into the tent due to extraction fan running constantly.
So i had a brainwave and got a bottle, duct tape, positioned it so that it is pointing down. This Q ok?

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?Setup. Seedling
