    DWC Under Current Question

    One more quick question in regards to this thread. Now that I know you have to put the water thats been lost back in every day or 2, what about the ppms? As soon as I go to fill it back up to where the water should be the ppms will drop. I hear/see a lot of people saying "you don't want to...

    DWC Under Current Question

    Ok. I just read that whole thing, and all it said about the water level is where it should be at. I know where the water level is SUPPOSED to be (under the net pot). My question was not where it should be, but if I should keep adding water in the buckets because the water either keeps...

    DWC Under Current Question

    I am in the first week of flowering now. I am running a 8 bucket 13 gallon site. Me and my friends have noticed that day by day the water in the buckets gradually go down a bit, about a gallon or so a day (out of 117 gallons). Right now the roots look amazing, the plants look even better. My...

    My current mix is currently Great White, Aquashield and Subculture B AND M. Dont know exactly how many tsps of each I should be mixing into a 5 gallon bucket. Any help would be appreciated.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    We got Great White, Aquashield, Subculture B/M. Should I mix all these together or would all that together just be overkill? I've got the airstones the 5 gallon bucket and everything ready to go. We are about to enter flower and the roots are VERY white and look pretty healthy. If you guys...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    We have Subculture-B/M, Great White, Aquashield, an airstone and a 5 gallon bucket. How would you go about brewing this one up? Should I go by the directions on the backs of them? Or use the calculations similar to Heisenbergs original post. I just cant find ancient forest or ZHO powder ANYWHERE.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Ok guys its been about a week and a half since I had those slime troubles (and about 3 weeks of vegging total in the UC), and this is what 3 out of the 8 plants look like now, keep in mind these 3 had NO SIGNS of roots a week and a half ago. Once again, the tea we are using is not the same...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    The recipe hasnt changed, but if you saw my posts a few pages back, I'm not using the AF, ZHO, and Aquashield. I am just using this stuff called Mykos and Subculture-B, and from what I can see its helped just as much. There is absolutely no slime in my buckets anymore, just after slime on a...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hey Heis, appreciate all the help you've given me so far. Now I want you to know that our "tea" isnt the same as the stuff you said in the original post. It's not Aquashield, AF, and ZHO. It's just that Subculture-B and Mykos stuff (no Great White added to it yet). What you're saying is as...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I can take pictures. Like I said, the slime is real bad on some of the net pots, but on others, its almost non noticable. The "tea" im brewing is nothing like the tea Heisenberg suggested (cuz we couldn't find the materials). But the BIG question I need answered now is this Is it safe to...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Ok Heisenberg. Its been a few days now, and I can say there is pretty much little to no slime in my buckets. However there is still a good amount of slime left over on the bottom of the net pots. I poured bennies in the hydroton as you and LF someone else reccomended but that didn't really...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I dont quite understand what 1w per gallon means? We have a 117 gal res, 8000w of light, and a water pump that does 750 GPH(over 8 buckets). I noticed that the water doesnt really move when you take the air stones out there is very little movement in the water, if not none. Me and my buds are...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    The plants are 2 weeks old now. There is no slime in the buckets because we ran a fish net through pretty much all of them. However there is still slime residue on the bottom of all the net pots. We have got a tea brewing in a 5 gallon bucket composed of SubCulture-B and Mykos. Just...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    It's not that legallyflying, its just we went to every hydro store possible and no one had the Aquashield in stock, and no one had ever even heard of Ancient Forest (believe it or not). We still do have the Subculture-B, the Mykos, and Great White, if we were to apply this to the tea rather...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I tried to talk my friends into "brewing" the tea, they didnt think that would be neccessary. I mean, if all else fails, and we do see the slime come back, the Great White should do the trick right? I completely forgot to take pictures but there is root growth on every single net pot, and the...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    We are currently in the process of completely sterilizing the system. We took all the water out, put a TON of bleach and there and let it run for a few hours. We then took out the bleach water, put the clean water in and put some of the Subculture B stuff in every bucket. We're going to let...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Ok so here is what me and my buds have decided on. Either today or tommorow we will change out the water and sterilize it, how do you reccommend we do that without having to take apart the UC? We have about half a pound of each of those powder solutions I told you we got from the hydro store...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Wow, thanks for the quick response man. I went to the hydro store and explained to the guy working there my slime problem. He knew right off the bat without me even having to tell him that the slime was white, and not green, because we had not let any light get to it, because had there been...
