I would always get a little wilt when I added. I believe I did twice a week. Now that could have been user error as all I did was scoop out about 2 gallons from the res. Add 30-40 ml of h202 mix then slowly add back. 20 minutes later plants were droopy. Scares the shit out of ya the first time.

Your plants must wilt when going that strong? I was around 1ml/gallon of 29% IIRC.

Ive grown same strain 3 different ways,rdwc,coco and gaia.Taste difference was minimal.Some said the gaia was better but I couldn't tell.Only difference was gaia was an easier run with less problems.

Is your res in a different room?Hard to tell with your pics but it looks like everything is in one open room?

What temps do you get without a chiller?

The EK should fix your RR .The foam gets in every corner.It will also foam up through your net pot. Edit, keep your res about 1/2 full.The foam will push your roots up against your lid then as the foam fades your roots are stuck to your lid.Maybe lowering the water level will help.

My first paragraph is about adding the enzymes komplete,so its not confusing. The Si I think was user error,gave up on it so Im really no help.

You have to introduce it slowly,meaning add 1/4-1/5 of what the bottle says.Then a few days add more.Doesn't say it on the bottle but if you read all the web stuff its there somewhere. Do a search here on the Si,loads of info.Myself I used it once,turned my water brown, plants didn't like it.On...

It was mentioned already,cant remember who but In Canada here we can get enzymes komplete for RR.You can also use h202 with it.I used it once did a good job but turn your air down or off as it foams up a lot. I used 1ml per gallon I think it was.

I use to run this pump,could barely hear it. I would just re locate yours keep it simple. https://matalaaerationproducts.com/Hakko-Linear-Air-Pumps/Hakko-HK80L-Linear-Air-Pump-p-17.html

One more thing would be air stones,there a perfect spot for RR to live.I always soaked mine in bleach and changed them out when I flushed and re filled with nutes.

Ill also add that a healthy plant has a much better chance of fighting off RR then a sick plant. In your pic that plant isn't happy.Was RR already in or?

As mentioned already its your system causing issues.I use to run experiments if I had a finicky strain.Basically separate dwc pails so I could feed differently.Would get root rot almost instantly even though it was all set up right.No light leaks etc. But no issues in my main system which was...

Well thats good its works for yeah.No experience with softeners,it was my understanding the sodium wasn't good so thats why I mentioned it.

top dressing.So I have 16g pots Ill give them 16 tbls =1 cup this is strain pending but I generally feed too much:bigjoint: When first mixing 1 cup per new 5g promix.Follow @swedsteven

The info on the bags refers to tbls per gallon of soil.

Why do you run water through a water softener? My understanding was it was not a good idea?

Plenty of us old timers have dicked with rdwc for years.Eventually you get rid of all the friggen hoses pumps chemicals etc and switch to organic and a SIP. Sub irrigated planter. Youll thank me later.

If you mix it with some pre made you can use right away.All depends on what your planting ,how big pots etc. Plain and simple is 1 cup gaia 444 to 5 gallon promix and off you go.May not be super soil but its a start.

Yes I had plants for months in sips.like 4 Trimmed back several times. Eventually I flipped them into flower. Ran out of food so they’re now on a steady diet of fish and calmag. Stems are huge and can only imagine how much roots are in there. They don’t look as good as my other runs but wth...
