    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Are you just saying that you put an airstone into your DWC system that was cleaned with H202? As long as you didn't dump any into the reservoir you should be fine.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Tap water is fine in my experience but I have a well, not city water. They say you should let it sit out for a day or two so the chlorine will evaporate if that is what you have available. RO is best. Any mycorrhizae should work but I have only ever used Great White. The most important part of...

    18 gallon DWC

    You are going to get root rot (cyanobacteria) in your res unless you use beneficial bacteria to eat it up. Just trust me on this one. Hydrogen peroxide is old school. It's bad for your rootzone in the same way it's bad to use it as mouthwash. It kills EVERYTHING including beneficial microbes...

    Property privacy !!

    Just grow in a greenhouse. One that's strong and has a lock on the door. It solves all of your problems. Put a carbon filter over the exhaust fans and remove the smell entirely. Other than that, use deer fencing. It's cheap and it works. Just staple to the trees, no posts needed.

    Adding supplements to DWC?

    I have never used store bought tea in hydro because they usually have organic plant food in them. I would worry about the kelp meal. But it's worth a try. The homemade tea is very cheap to make so I never bothered. It is also very handy for starting seeds.

    Enzymes for Aeroponics

    In my experience it is more important to strip the lower branches and foliage early. I would do it immediately. I snip them as soon as buds start to form (week 3 or so). This will help airflow and let the plants put their energy towards making big top buds. Other than that there are SOG growers...

    Salt Salt Salt...SMH!

    Just switch to Advanced Nutrients or some other brand. GH is way too salty for aero, IMO.

    Light is getting in. Make sure you use opaque plastic.

    Enzymes for Aeroponics

    I agree, don't do it. Just use the simplest nutrients you can, like AN or GH three part. You don't want anything that can clog your spray nozzles. I have had problems with enzymes causing slime. I recommend compost tea for hydro (beneficial microbes), they keep roots nice and white.

    Adding supplements to DWC?

    I've done a lot of DWC and agree with most of the comments. A three part nutrient (or two part if you use Lucas) is all you need. However one additive that I prefer not to live without is compost tea, the kind formulated by Heisenberg on this site. I have never had slime since I started using...

    HOW DANGEROUS IS HARVEST TIME FOR US?

    Also since nobody said it, never open the door for the police. Lock the door and wait for them to leave.

    PLANTS stolen!!!!

    Oh sure if you have some property why not? But for him, surrounded by neighbors, bad idea.

    PLANTS stolen!!!!

    I just read this entire thread and the only person who gave the right advice was Johnny Vapor. If you live in a suburb, growing a plant on your porch is just a terrible idea. Would you lay a stack of $100 bills out on your deck? Because that's what a thief sees in your plant. This isn't a tomato...

    vegetable glycerin tincture for tank system e-cig?

    VG and cannabis oil will separate over time. Skunk Farms has to use a homogenization process to get the VG and BHO to stick together. For people who are allergic or just don't care for PG I would recommend PEG 400 as it blends really well with cannabis oil and stays mixed for a long time. I like...

    New Please help

    You can do either or but you don't need both. I have recently omitted the air stone and only use a drip line to create my bubbles. Just make sure your plants are getting oxygen. Fish aquariums are primarily aerated by a water pump waterfall. Bubblers just add a little bit more.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    You are doing it incorrectly. Are you dumping the compost/Ancient Forest directly into your res? That would do it. You need to use tea bags so that the tea has no particles in it. When it's done brewing you should have a slightly amber looking, but mostly clear and clean solution. Filtering it...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    gliese581g, you cannot overdo the tea. Something in your res is bad. You need to use hydro nutes only. Dump your res and spray your roots down. Then treat with the tea, brewed for 48 hours.

    UK Cheese!

    Big Buddha Cheese has an Afghani breed into it so it's very easy to grow. Great anytime use without no comedown.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Bud Candy contains sucrose (sugar), you don't want that or any other sweetener like molassas in DWC. The Lucas Formula requires no additives at all. I am a AN fan as well and have used Big Bud in the past with mixed results. It seems like if I don't over do it I won't get the slime, but for the...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Have you read this entire thread? Avoid enzyme products. That is where you're getting the slime. This tea is meant to be used with the Lucas formula. No organics of any kind should be used. I would not use the Bud Candy either.
