SOG growers wanted !!!

[Return of the Spork]

I am not 100% light shielded, but I am pretty close. However I am getting the albino algea stuff. It didn't used to be there much at all but it is occurring more and more. Usually I just do normal h2o2 dose and get the floating gunk out as I see it. When I add more h2o2, it doesn't really do much more to the algae.

Is there another option that will take care of it on ideally a "use as I need it" sort of basis? I don't know much about hygrozyme or hydroguard or whatevers. I am not using organics so that doesn't need to be considered.

I am going to try the black trash bag in the res as I fill it method to try to light shield better, but I get the feeling the algae might be around anyways since I am pretty well shielded as is. I would like an option to wipe out the gunk as it comes. Anything better than h2o2?

hey spork... interesting problem.... are you dosing daily... what quantity h202 are you useing ... typicly about 1.5 mil per ltr is usually good enough... i have found dosing at regular intervials is best ... if your like me it seems doing those kind of chores often are done at random times .... i automated my h202 dosing with a pump a few months ago and it really has saved me a ton of trouble.... can give you some details if your interested .....
never seem to have time to do the dumb shit things myself.. then i have to work like hell to make up ground .... dosing in small quanties over a short time period works best i think.... no more gak problems now....

well im interested in the details on the automation of the h2o2.....details pretty please!!!

The problem I am having is that I could get some of this gunk and add 50ml/L of 35% h2o2 if I wanted and it wouldn't kill it. It is as if it is beyond the h2o2's power to completely get rid of the gunk. Sure it wipes most of it out but never all no matter how much I put in. Thats why I was asking if there was another product that just eliminated it all.

I currently dose 1.7ml/L every 2-3 days, however I am letting that go to 4-5 days when needed. Lots of bubbles still in the res, and no real fizzing when i add more. I really think that h2o2 is awesome, but it obviously has its limits.

 

[doogleef]

H2O2 should be added every 3-4 days without fail. Don't wait till you see fungus to use it. By the time you see the fungus with the naked eye there is too much of it. You could try the enzyme products you mentioned but they are generally less effective than H2O2. I would scrub the reservoir really good with a bleach solution and start over.

 

[potroast]

If you have algae growing, and kill it with H2O2, it will still be there. As long as it's not growing any more, it doesn't hurt. It's a plant that needs light to grow, so take away the light and it won't grow. But if it is growing, then you have to be careful killing it because you could also kill the other plant.

I never use bleach, chlorine kills plants and if you use bleach you must rinse like a madman. If you have H2O2 anyway, you don't need bleach.

HTH

Hi Potroast! kiss-ass

Must rinse very well indeed. Also want to use a very low concentration of bleach. Chlorine is in the tap water we use to water plants everyday so a small amount of it should not hurt.

due to a power surge or the fact that god hates me my1000w hps blew again only this time it blew up and out sending glowing hot shards o' glass all over my newly dehumidified room wich was super duper dry........a small fire ensued burning my wooden bud dryer my burber carpet caught next then the foam sealant i used to fill gaps and cracks that let air in....that stuff sure is good kindling. ha ha ha, omfg people....close to 8000.00 invested and almost 100% of it destroyed. ya i was around when it happened and yes i have/had a fire extinguisher i went to grab it but my wife had moved it and didnt tell me.....she wasnt home.....i bailed water out of my tubs and finally got the hose.....my neighbor, who seen the smoke came runnin' with a fire extinguisher. by the time i knew this he was behind me, helping. it was out a minute later and he just said....wow, man.....i knew it! fuckin cool! how long you been growing? i was like wtf ru serious? my room and part of my garage and an outside wall of the house is burnt pretty badly. i ripped everything out....neighbor helped.....and threw it all on the burn pile and lit that bitch and watched my hard work go up in smoke....even if not in the intended way. i will rebuild but it wont be for about 6 months or longer. thanks to everyone for their guidance and input. wish i could delete my pics now........makes me sad.
