You are attempting DWC with organic nutes. This is not recommended. It can be done, but only for experienced growers. I don't understand why you didn't aerate the water? I'm surprised your class didn't tell you about the importance of dissolved oxygen. Without it, you are creating an anaerobic...

Hygrozyme is horrible in hydro. It will give you even more slime. The only cure is mychorrizae (Great White) and beneficial microbes. H202 may kill the slime for a day, that's it. It's an archaic method to fight disease. When you use fungi or microbes you need to stop the H202 as it kills...

The moon won't cause your plants to hermie so neither will those flood lights.

If people feel they need Prozac, it's their choice, and I would not want deprive them. However, the public has been mislead by Pfizer, Eli Lily, GlaxoSmithKline, etc. GSK has lied about the results of clinical trials regarding the dangers of Paxil more than once. My experience with Prozac, Paxil...

I remember looking into this when it first hit the news. I suffer from clinical depression as well. Just keep in mind that there is no scientific proof that serotonin has anything to do with depression. The whole concept is flawed and SSRI drugs are now known to be no more effective in treating...

Are you using a top feed drip system with your DWC? Algae shouldn't be growing on top of your net pot (filled with hydroton I assume?) unless there is plant food there. Get rid of the drip emitter and circulate nutes through the bottom of your bubble buckets. Clean your hydroton with water and...

Compost tea all the way. You will never see root rot again. Check out Heisenberg's thread.

I don't know your exact situation, but one thing that a lot of people don't do is thoroughly clean and disinfect before starting a tea regimen. You need to dump the water, break everything apart, clean with bleach and just scrap all of that slime out. If any of your roots are infected then you...

You can't do anything about it until they grow out into full plants. After they get 3-4 nodes you can top the ones that are growing faster. Also you can manipulate the plants location in relation to the light. Move the short plants into the center so they get the most light and then move the...

Suction cups. Buy em at pet store in the fish section.

You are probably just overwatering them. Don't freak out too much, seeds and seedlings are very fragile and sometimes they die. It happens.

You have to brew it in tea. Don't just toss the ingredients in the res. You have to brew for 48 hours. Also you need to dump your water and clean first. Scrape out all the goo and spray your roots down over a bucket. The tea isn't a magic cure it's a preventative.

That's why DWC growers have moved away from top drip. Get rid of it and just recirculate lower on your buckets. You can probably just spray some bleach water on your rocks without much worry. You can mist with H202 or fungicide as well. Take as many of the rocks up as you can and wash them. Get...

I use those three ingredients with great results.

Agreed with NVGA. Top early or not at all. I like to top once so I get two shoots and it gives lower branches a chance to catch up. Enjoy! SCROGGING is the best.

fallinprince, I thought that this form of root rot (brown slime algae) was only a DWC thing? How are you getting it in aero? Do you have a shallow bed of water under your net cups? I'm curious because I'm building a couple of aero setups (one of them like yours) to test out. Before I...

When I drain my RDWC system all the water finds it's way out of the system using only gravity. The buckets and the res are all on the floor. You could just put a brick or a piece of wood under your buckets, raising them a few inches. It doesn't take much. Water will find a way. If you want it to...

First off, please don't shout. It's bad etiquette. The easiest way to grow is in dirt or soilless. Look up hempy buckets. For maximum speed and yield, go with DWC or aero. If you've never grow before I don't recommend aero. Just do dirt first and learn how to grow the plant. Then you can...

Wow this thread is awesome. I started reading on page one a week ago, got caught up yesterday, and it's still current so I can chime in with my results. I got the slime when I first tried bubbleponics in a bubble cloner. I got it every time. H202 merely slowed it down. Strangely I did two DWC...

Why not make your own clones?
