Grow QuestionsFOAM in the DWC tank

FOAM in the DWC tank

DeepWaterGrowerstarted grow question 2 years ago

Hi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank. I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?

I have no idea what is causing the foam but I wouldn't want it in MY reservoir... If you're not going to change your reservoir out again, I'd at least add some H2O2 (about a tsp per gallon) - but if this was MY grow, I'd change that out again right quick.... and clean the reservoir/bucket (can't tell what you use) with H2O2 very well before filling it back up. Good luck....

I would be worried about any sort of foam building in my reservoir. I think it's a good idea you changed the res.

Nutirents for hard water Question regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

FloraCoco Grow instead of FloraGro in Hydroponics DWC Is it OK to grow in DWC Hydroponics using FloraCoco Grow (4-0-5 with also 0,8% of Magnesium) as one of the nutrients, combined with FloraBloom and FloraMicro? I'm asking because the store near home had finished FloraGro (3-1-7) and sold me FloraCoco Grow.
