DWC - Explosive Roots overnight, then gone the next day
Spector76started grow question 2mo ago
I’m wondering if anyone with experience in DWC could help me figure out why I experienced explosive growth of roots, literally overnight - as seen in one of the pics; then half the roots literally disappeared the next day!! Wondering what could be affecting my root system so much

Hi, looks like your basket is submerged in water. When I did DWC I would keep a gap of air between the basket and the water leaving some roots exposed to air (4-6 in). Also is your water between 65F-69F? If water temp is higher than 69F (20C) you're more likely to experience root rot. I used Bacillus (Hydroguard, Monkey Juice or Root Builder all contain Bacillus in different concentrations) to help prevent root rot. Make sure you're adding enough air with your air stone, your water should be agitating like its boiling. Hope this helps! Happy growing!

optical illusion or funny camera work?
they can't just evaporate... are they at the bottom of the bucket? LOL
if not, and they are actually diminished, something had to dissolve or eat them because of the law of conservation of mass, bwahaha. things don't just disappear. They must go 'somewhere'

Unhappy SeedlingPlant is day 10 now and growing fairly slowly compared to most (atleast it feels that way) noticed it suddenly started growing at an unusual angle today. I recently added a small fan for a light breeze, VERY light. humidity at 50-60% and kept between 18 - 26 degrees. Any ideas?

Nutrient Burn, Leaf Septoria, Nutrient Deficiency? Or something else?I have been having issues with the Purple Haze. I've tried adjusting the Temperatures, adding additional Cal-Mag, changing lumen intensity etc.
I believe this may be nutrient burn?
Added an old image of leaf before mainlining, the plant is 1 week old after mainlining was done.

Rotten rootsCrescita rallentata. Sembrava andare tutto nel verso giusto invece la radici della mia white wid dwc hanno subito l'attacco di un batterio che le fa andare in putrefazione e non riesco in nessun modo a eliminarlo, ho eliminato un po di marciume ma credo che ormai sia compromessa

Root system not looking good, correct?This is /not/ how a root system should look at 15 days, correct? It looks like the roots were suffocated. Would perlite help going forward in the future? Had abt 20% plite. Is the organic potting soil I got just low quality and too dense? I definitely chronically overwatered too

Where am I going wrong? Beginner, SSH, RDWC, 100 GAL, SF4000 etc.So I am super excited did a bunch of research built the system and considered every factor I have come across. I am now into Week 3 from when my seeds popped and I am just sick of seeing them small. I don't understand where I am going wrong

Kratky isn’t working wellKratky system isn’t working well for my girl.
She keeps growing slowly thanks to some hydratation with the spray but the roots never reached the water.
I never used rockwool for her, only perlite. What can I do?
It’s almost 1 month old!
