Brown slime in DWC
geeseedsstarted grow question 5 months ago
How to continue to treat this brown slime? The only organics I use are chelating agents. I've sanitized media, buckets, tried benny tea, Mykos WP. Now there is 20 PPM sodium hypochlorite in one bucket, tons of Mykos WP in another, 'tea' from my planted aquarium in the last.

Hey so it has nothing to do with it hsv8ng organic nutrients in water
It's that you have soo many.. and if they are dif brands, you need to make sure they work together well wit water..
That slime is the 1st of many issues using wat u are.
Far too much
.
Less is more with growing in water
.
Low water temps is needed and you can run bacteria. If not you need to run a sterile system. That's using h202 to kill any bad bacteria from the roots that gets into the water if the temp gets to warm.
The roots are white. It's a young plant. So organics isn't ur issue yet.
It's dif nutrients not binding well

"Tea" from your aquarium is the problem.......it is a soup of all kinds of bacteria and microflora.
I believe hydrogen peroxide is the best way to combat slime in DWC.

Hello geeseeds,
You do not want to use any organics inside a DWC. Best products to use are General Hydrophonics or Canna Aqua. The Canna product is made especially for recirculating systems. I use the Canna Aqua basic nutrients with the additionals from General Hydrophonics.
To get rid of the brown slime you can use 3% hydroperoxide.
Happy Growing! 💚

Perhaps the products your using aren't designed to work in a dwc system. I found GHE grow bloom micro to be good in dwc for base nutes.
