That is some great info, I will follow that and see if it works. I'm using fox farm as well, and it sucks that I can't use bleach in my res. But this guy above says to use hydrogen peroxide? I wonder what strength he uses. Has anybody else used hydrogen peroxide with fox farm, and had success...

Thanks man, I will continue to add ice every day until I get a fridge (should be soon). What do you think of the photos I posted? Every plant seems to have unhealthy-looking leaves, and the little runt is only a few days from death. On the other hand, the big one is almost ready to flower...

First of all, I want to thank all the responses, it's very much appreciated. A little update: After I did that res change when I noticed the brown funk, I mixed in my nutrients and hygrozyme again, to see if it would repeat the problem. It did. I had to do another res change 2 days later (on...

I should have mentioned in the beginning that I am using a flood & drain system, not dwc. I spent about $250 on these fox farm nutrients, I bought 2.5L of each solution, so I'd love it if that wasn't a waste. Can I just stop using hygrozyme, but keep using fox farm? And should I still make the...

Yeah I would venture to say that my res is very oxygenated, but maybe the water temp is too high, I will check it when I buy a thermometer. I've read all about bleach, but aren't you not supposed to use that in organic systems? I'm using fox farm. I just don't understand why all this popped...

Thanks Serapis. Someone in that thread you linked to said oxygenated water is bad, and he doesn't use air stones. I'm using 2 medium-sized ones running full-blast in there... And what did you mean by "throwing a stone in there"?

I don't see how they can be getting root rot, when they're only 9 days old, and getting watered once a day only. I just checked the roots, they look whiter than casper.

Wow so I didn't have to freak out and do an emergency res change last night? Lol. Thanks micmart, you've been very helpful. I'm glad your res smells like a sewer too :). Your buds look fantastic so maybe we've found the secret. Dee, it's not Big Bloom sediment, I know what that looks like...

I'm using fox farm grow big and big bloom; as far as I know, they don't say anything about them being perishable. Although, before my nutes go into the reservoir, I have them sitting in a clear water bottle in my kitchen for a couple days, makes it easier to measure than pouring out the giant...

Also, my ph was 5.9 when I checked it yesterday afternoon, and in a little over 24 hours it jumped to 7.2 when I just now checked it.

Forgot to mention, the res also smells really foul. Doing a res change now, be back soon. Thanks!

So I did the first res change of the grow on wednesday, and today when I opened my res, there was a crapload of little brown things floating around in the res (kinda looked like dead skin cells everywhere). And brownish slimey stuff on the walls and covering my water pump and air pump hose. I...

Thanks Ferredoxin, I must be overwatering, because all the plants are droopy at the bottom but look normal up top. I just checked my coco cubes and they're still wet from the watering 5 hours ago, so I'm gonna start on your schedule with twice a day.

The ppm is climbing because I've added about 100mL of ph down in the last 6 days. So if my roots are all getting wet when watering, that's bad? Cause I can't really avoid that, the water levels vary in my tray due to the slope.

Most of the plants are in coco peat, except for one that's in rockwool (can't help what the clone store had). I checked the coco peat about 4 hours after a watering, and it felt pretty wet, so maybe I am watering too often? Stonetech, I am using fox farm, and the feeding schedule says to use...

Ok well that's way different from what anyone else has told me. I thought most people flooded 3-4 times a day. I'm flooding 3 times a day, for 5 minutes (can't flood longer than that cause the pump runs dry). I was told that drinking time didn't matter as long as they got water. So you're...

Hey all. I am currently in day 6, started with rooted clones. My ppm was 540 to start and is now 730 from all the ph down I've added. The light is a 1000W hps. Started the light 4 feet above the canopy, and yesterday just lowered it to 3 feet. Now it seems like all the plants have a slight...

So I won't be able to get the timer and stuff til tomorrow, but meanwhile, I lowered my light to a height of 3 feet above the canopy now. I've noticed in the last 24 hours that my leaves are starting to look droopy, which means that they're thirsty right? How is this possible if they're still on...

Yeah you're right... I thought a 27 gallon reservoir would be big enough... Al b. fuct uses 4x4 trays like me and uses a 33 gallon res, so I guess I should'nt have under-shot it. It's too late now so I'm gonna have to get those digital timers. Is 5 minutes of drinking time not enough though?
