Specifications:
16 days into flowering----4-1000 watt Super HPS------External CO2------Temp 77-84/Humidity 48-60%-----Rez temp 67-72-----PH 5.6-6.0----PPM 1200-1800-------Adv Nut line-----Tap water-----Ebb gro bucket system 17 plants---- Feed twice a day for 15 minutes (used to feed 4x a day for the first 7 days of flower)
Ok gurus, I have an issue. I noticed that my reservoir was starting to foam/sud up and I was puzzled. It did not start until I started my second week of flowering. Flower Feed Schedule (Conni A/B, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Sensizym, Carboload, Bud Factor X, Voodoo Juice, Piranha, Tarantula). All of this was at 60% strength. Now I noticed it and flushed out for 3 days (all water), and came back with new nutes for the start of week 3. Week 3 nutes does not include Voodoo juice/Piranha/Tarantula but everything else is the same. Same results. Foam/Suds. Now I have heard that AN will do this because of the chemical mix up but I am nervous because where the suds are in my reservoir, has left a slimy feeling brownish gook around the inside of the wall where the foam is (not the water). So I pop my plant out of the buckets and my roots are brownish and sort of slimy. The roots are not mushy and some plants are more brown than others as you can see in the pics. The buckets that the plants sit in does not have this gook/slime or suds/foam. Not all my plants have hanging roots coming out of the bottom. Plants look great though! But I don't like the thought of my roots rotting out. I am skeptical of using H2O2 because I understand that it will KILL all my Voodoo Juice/Piranha/Tarantula that I have in my roots and make things worse?? My rez temp is fine and it does not live in my grow room, so no light gets into the water. I have a GH 340 GPH pump with 4 air outlets/airstones.
My ? is:
Is this Root Rot?
Am I screwed? (Hope Not)
Am i fine?
If I clean out Rez, will that do the trick?
a lil help please.........
