https://hydrobuilder.com/brands/current-culture/current-culture-under-current-4.html?opts=1757:2549,3305:8060

ouchies...

on an alternate note i had the wife check the DWC tent and sure enough I left open my access 'triangle' to the bucket open all night... hopefully the GFF and hydroguard do their stuff and i don't get a ton of growth out of that...

yeah he's why i'm looking at current culture haha

i'll have to pick his brain real good whenever that day comes... if i get some extra money it won't be on rDWC to start - it'll be to get a 12 ton heated plate rosin press.

oh for sure, it'll be a DIY build as all my other stuff is diy:

my manifold is DIY
pump / reservoir design DIY
my 40 gallon humidifier is DIY

i was planning on getting a 12 ton press from harbour freight for $99 and then some quality heating plates for around $300

Makes sense. Even the trio has Ca/Mg in it, but it's usually not enough once you get into heavy veg. Pushing the micro too hard will put you in N tox before it can get enough of Ca/Mg.

At least you picked up on it and now you know how to tell. Soak it all in lol.

No kidding! My ppm floated from 300-330. You think I’m good to add about 50ppm of calmag? Also how are these roots looking? They’ve like tripled in length.... however they’re twisting from the way the bubbles move in the you think that’s hurting them? You think they look okay? Would they benefit from the peroxide?

Happy to help when you're ready my guy.

I'm actually working a bit on dismantling my cab today in prep for my addition. All the plumbing has been taken apart - gotta run some bleach thru my pump and chiller then I can wrap this thing up.

Nah no worries on them getting twisty - they look good.

I avoid h2o2 unless I'm having issues that I can trace back to bacteria or otherwise...

Good biology > sterile > bad biology

I don't remember what all your ppm is, but you'll have to try the calmag and see. Your plant will tell you.

Roots look fine. I would cut them hehe (just heard hearts sink), but you don't need to.

The bubbles aren't hurting at all. All those fish bones are letting you know they are working like a good wood should. No need for peroxide if you don't have issues.

If you get rot, then bubble the shit out of them with peroxide solution. It'll break away most of the dead shit for you and neutralize any bacteria.

Okay cool.

Megacrop 2.0 has everything in it I’ll get a picture of the ingredients in a bit. Glad they look good to you guys. I’ll add the cal mag should clear it up.... my ph was at 5.7 wondering if that caused it. 5.7 is a tad low for ca and mag so I bumped it to 5.9 so we will see if it will fix it along with the cal mag.

Just don’t overdo the h2o2...it is a free radical that doesn't descriminate between live and dead tissue...only controls you have when using are dilution and exposure time...
