I've got some of that expensive bud as well.
As far as the roots go.
Al.B.Fuct says that 500ppm of h2o2 is the trick. That comes out to .05%
In RDWC AKA Heath Robinson flooded tube and AK47, I would say that is a tad hot.
h2o2 at about 200 ppm and HF at 2 mil/gal seems to be working much...
Woodsmaneh,
Rez temp is a steady 67, I think that I can get down to maybe 63 64 f with my current setup.
You're saying I should lower it even further?
Nice air stone!! It is now next on the list, I'll probably order that bad boy tomorrow.
I wish I could rent or borrow a DO meter. They are not...
I'll see if I can explain this. Google is your friend when reading this.
Adding nutes is a problem in DWC. This is because (speaking from experience) Do not add nutes ph up or down or anything if you con help it with the plants in the system.
"The plants do not like rapid swings of PH or...
For me, DWC has been a nightmare so far with root problems. Good catch, now that you know the spots are there. Do they heal or does it get worse?
You can go all the way through flower in DWC, but as a cloner, I have heard of people going up to a month.
Woodsmaneh,
My first run in the system was with zone, per the directions on the bottle. The first run was the best of the 2 completed runs. With zone the root rot came on and I was too new to DWC and it took me a couple of weeks to figure out the 1 2 punch with physan 20 and EWC. So at about...
Heisenberg,
So we're at 14 days of flower and as of now there is an amazing difference. Bright shiny roots and plants that went from 8" or less to 16" or more in 2 weeks. I even broke out the jewelers loop and did a spot check of roots. There is almost no sign of root disease.
Out of 10+...
Plants look good. Thanks for the pics of the roots. I can't really tell from the pics, but it looks like there is a touch of some kind of root problem. Some white and some turning brown. I think that I see a little slime as well.
I have been seeing the same leaf problems as well as having...
Witch do you want to maintain?
You're already maintaining an ebb and flow table, seems to me that would be less work.
I keep my moms in a waterfarm 8 pack, almost no maintainance.
Yup, so the question is............what is the resolution to this problem with 4" flooded tubes arranged in a octagon.
This is what I copied. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html needless to say, I have yet to achieve the results that Heath did.
Thanks Heisenberg that is what I was looking for.
I am running a Heath Robinson flooded tube octagon on the third round now.
First round......root rot, maybe slime. It took me until almost the end to find you and richyrich and the whole thing on slime. I think I over did the tea on this one...
Heisenberg,
Why do you say that H2O2 should be used for a temporary patch? Al.B.Fuct says he uses it constantly at 4 mils/gal of 50% every 3 days in his ebb and flow tables.
Thanks in advance.
