So My Roots have been growing like crazy....in 4 days they have gone from 20210313_081318.jpg
to

The Nutes and Eden's Garden which has kelp, humic acid, myco's and bennies, and hydroguard. plus GH FLora series specially the micro stains my water. I have a AC in my temp and I cool my res down to 60 degrees to start the day and then by the next day it's 69 and I repeat...it's NEVER been above 69 degrees.... I also have a 35 watt pump and a 6 inch micro difuses huge air stone combined with my tiny bucket size (1 gallon atm) with it half filled it rolls and bubbles...Definitely OVER-SATURATED it oxygen. I use RO water so I doubt there's anything harmful inside my REZ.
With that being said...there's this white grown on my roots and I'm slightly concerned...I just got over root rot and had to start all over so I notice everything. Can somebody give me a professional opinion. Also If you have the time...can you check out my grow journal..comment and give me some opinions the link is in my signature. Thanks!!

I feel like root wouldn't be so huge...and although mold develops quick I feel like if root rot progressed that fast shit humans wouldn't stand a chance!!!...I know I asked for people's opinions so I'm not going to argue everyone's lol....but I know that beneficial take 10-14 days to fully colonize a plant....I poured a good amount in because I was over worried about last time...im almost certain I over did it when adding them ..I was under the impression using too many beneficial is only a waste of money...nothing else...any truth to this??

60F is too cold for roots. i wouldn't let it get below 65F.

and with bennies you "should" be able to run warmer res temps. low 70s

Are you saying it's better that I run slightly higher rez temperatures? I was under the impression the cooler water the better oxygen intake but I guess with an over-powered air stone and pump that's less of an issue....I feel like i should get the water cool because I can, what do you think? 65 or 72-75?

true. lower temps=more DO. higher temps=faster growth. so try to find the middle ground. as long as you have more good than bad bacteria, you win.

Okay right now at 65 the roots are doubling every 10 hours...I'm going to let it get to 70 and hang out a while...cool it to 65 and use that range 65-75 instead of 60-68.......I'm trusting you!!! I got some great white and vodoo juice coming today...cause I'm a freakin addict!!!! ahh!!

when you run out of hydroguard, see if you can buy some southern ag garden friendly fungicide. same bacteria but a million times more concentrated and cheaper.

Yes but isn't it like a different strain or something...i remember reading about that because I too thought about that product...I think..and i could be..probably am wrong...Hydrogaurd has a very aggressive strain made for hydro applications or whatnot..but it could be marketing

I'm getting hammered in grow journal currently for defoliating my plants....I felt like they needed it.....Always the "experts" who love to hop on and tell people what they are doing wrong...not what they should be doing right!

pure marketing bull shite. i've used it for years now. 1mL to about 10 to 20 gallons. it looks like chocolate milk instead of clear hydroguard.

To match the rest of my garden and because of it's late start and how high it is being in a bucket that plant is 11 inches long and 3 inches high!!20210326_124926.jpg

But the roots look great this was a few days ago, I can't really lift it that high anymore...this was before i put the cage down20210324_081509.jpg

But this is my little Garden that Everyone told me I should trash just last week! Do you guys think I should? It's day 5 in flower
I didn't know what I was doing so I probably overtrained and fim'ed but it's what I envisioned20210326_072036.jpg

Anyone that told you to trash it doesnt deserve your attention. Why the hell would you do that??

If you have already flipped, the screen is kinda pointless imo, you really want to veg until you fill out the screen.

Thank you, so at your suggestion I lowered the screen and then tucked the growth underneath there....how does this look?20210326_141102.jpg
