Thanks! The clear res is actually just a temporary bowl to set the grow bed on while I wash/disinfect my real res between adding new nutes.
This way they stay wet and I add a small cap full of hydrogen peroxide to the ph'd water to kill off any potential algae before it returns to the real res.
There are a couple of helpers that I know of to help produce more trichomes.
One is the addition of UV-B light to your light shedule, the plant produces more trichomes to help protect against the uv rays.
Also adding a little heat stress will cause the plant to produce trichomes for protection...
Here are some other alternatives:
1. Remove all the caterpillars you can find by hand. Either let them crawl in a garden of someone you don’t like, or kill them. It’s up to you. Just throwing them away is not sufficient because they will come back.
2. Introduce parasitic wasps to your outdoor...
please do flush it though, and give it a week without nutes, it will let you know if its nute locked. Also flushing it will rid of any nasties that may be causing the issue. Spots are 90% due to root problems, so I would start there.

I will apologize now for the images as they are not up to par with my other ones.

A few days after the reservoir clean and nute switch, I got my explosive grow as expected :).
Checked the ph level and is at a steady 5.5 - 6.0.
I Still have NOT ADDED the air pump and stone, the roots look great and speak for themselves in the picture.
The res...
its an aerogarden ultra (non led aerogarden), but you can get the same effect just getting a cheap fountain pump and a timer lol.
Its great for starting seedlings or for just getting into hydro as a learning tool.
But for the price, you can make a better system much cheaper your self doing DWC...
I'm on the same track, just quit smoking cigs and now moving on to eating healthier and want to work on getting my six pack back.
And no, not that six pack, who buys just a 6 pack 0.o
