Do you think you will keep growing Dro after this Mo? Organic soil just seems much easier...your outdoor girls are beautiful! That brown stuff is just awful, wonder why, after all you've tried, it's still here??
As severe of a case of pythium that he had, it will take the tea a couple of weeks at minimum to get things back to normal. Oh, and absolutely nothing wrong with growing dro, Just have to learn the ropes like anything else. Flying by the seat of your pants will result in issues no matter what method used. It takes time and lots of trial and error to see what works for you as a grower! It all makes you a better grower!

I think it was from the FloraNova Bloom and Sea Green. They both look like mud and make the water brown. The roots are not slimey and they smell like carrots. I think I just burned them with high nutes and low O2. Now they are just trying to recover. You can actually see some new growth in there so I have a good feeling about this beneficial root slime tea. I am also trying to get the ppm lower. I will do another res change and flush. She really seams to like that. It is when I start adding nutes that she slows down. I might just go straight water, tea, and 0-10-10 after the res flush.

Cheers,
Mo

It is also harder when you try to grow a slow outside-only strain in hdyro with a small LED.


I have learned a ton thanks to my RIU teachers!

They should not smell at all. The fact that you have a smell is an indication of something wrong! Now that everything is back on track with my UC setup, I lift the lid to my epicenter res and smell next to nothing....

I am still in awe at how little nutes an UC setup uses! I think I have maxed out @ 550ppm so far, and I am now into week 2 of flower! :eyesmoke:

Yes - I think the trick to hydro is more air and less nutes. Keep those roots searching for goodies!

Well, with these same strains, I was running ~1200+ ppm at this point in time in my nft setup prior! That is a 60+% decrease in nutes from one hydro setup to another! :eyesmoke:

It was a bastardized NFT style setup, and not a true NFT, which I am sure I could have reduced nutes more if it was a true NFT setup.

Have you seen the roots they get on those high-pressure fine mist spray systems? They are so white and so fuzzy. They hardly use any nutes. My next girl is going to be on a strict diet! hehe

Hi all! The hydro is still going well, added some pH down and that was it. It was way more humid in there today so I am pretty sure the roots are working better! The ppm is not dropping so I will probably do a res change tomorrow and get rid of any pesky leftover nutes and start fresh and clean.

Outdoor I gave the big clone some CalMag in her water because she is not looking green enough and yet the very end of her leaf tips are showing burn signs. So I know my N is OK (she has blood meal and I give her Alaska Fish Emulsion - barf!) but she is still not as green as her sisters. I will give her some Micro in her water tomorrow.

I also did some more bending on the big clone. I am going to spread her apart so all of the tips are the same height like a giant spoke *























Cheers,
Mo

ALL I CAN SAY IS "YAY"!!!! Your roots are in the recovery stage and you will be able to salvage something out of that indoor plant! Thank goodness you cloned it early and often, as you will reap huge rewards! Might I suggest you add some tea every week to your outdoorsies.... as you will like the results! :bigjoint:

ps. Anything below that new growth on your picture, that is submerged, just crop it right off, as it looks to be 99% dead anyways.

Here is the Tried Tested and True results of the Heisenberg tea formula in your Hydroponic setup:



And 13 day into 12/12 trying to compete somewhat with FM...:

My roots have never looked as good as yours. I do not know what I did wrong or if it is a strain thing. The next indoor will be much better and I will grow her the FlowaMasta way! :)

Ha... well fine then... enough of my suggestions if you want to follow another's suggestions.....(am positive he suggested following my directions?)

Must have went wrong some place..... WTF do I know? :wall:

Hey Slanty! Super props for recommending the tea. I think the dead stuff in the res is actually shooting out some new white growth :) I am not sure if I can get the same results as FM without the PGR anyway. I would like to give the perlite/hempy thing a try along with mainlining the plant for 16 colas (Nugbuckets Lab). Although I think am going to very busy working the outdoor girls during the next few months. I am starting to see moths and caterpillars on other plants in my garder so I need to start spraying the BT.

Don't be sad...two outta three aint bad... - Meatloaf


Cheers,

Naw.....was just bursting your bubble! You are in good hands no matter what your direction! You have good people that actually have a clue trying to help you, so I am very hopeful of your outcome!

Unfortunately, there are more than not that want to help with suggestions, but unfortunately, have no clue to the answer! O_O
