I was scared to go hydro for 5 years. When I did it I wish I had done it from day one, it seemed so much easier to me anyway plus a lot cleaner. Right now I feel a little different of course. Soil had its own problems but never shut me down like this I have to admit. I am totally torn right...

Interesting read. Have you used it in hydro ? Wondering if it would be good in ebb and flow. Was always easier to kill everything but that only lasted 1 1/2 years before this major problem.

Sorry guys, I did actually run some without and still had the random problem. Roots look very good in the problem plants, nice and white with lots of hairs.

Yeah but those are the healthiest plants on the tray. Havent been doing that on the other trays that got all messed up. Was just doing it as a experiment to see if it was the veg trays causing the problem. I shake the root balls to bare roots then swirl in a 5 gallon bucket of water with H202...

Intersting but I wouldnt think it would happen to 3 seperate trays at the same time and why would it be so random on the plants having the issue ? Trays are white botanicare and look pretty good anyway.

Early today I started on my 3X3 veg tray and did exactly that. I scrubbed the tray down and rinsed the heck out of it. Then sprayed 35% H202 with half water on the whole tray. Removed all the hoses and fittings. Put new hoses on. Scrubbed out the fittings. Put a new pump on as well. Put 20...

No not at all that is what is so baffling. Totally random appearing and happens from all 3 veg trays as well. Mine remain healthy looking in bloom just tiny and abnormal budding. Truly madning .

Yeah this is different then a runt though. This is a total stunted plants where atleast 25% have to be literally tossed and will produce nothing. I let some go and they have zero potency and zero trichs... Roots look the same on good ones verse bad ones. They all look very good.

No plus it is 3 seperate bloom areas and the plants on the table are random.

:sad:Yeah I dumped all the hydroton in the bloom beds first and it didnt help at all. After seeing the problem rear its ugly head from all 3 veg trays with different nutes,air and lighting I know it is all in the veg trays at this point. 10 of 10 plants that never saw my veg trays (got from...

I agree. I only did it on the veg trays but of course that is where the problem lies. IF I continue to use beds of hydroton I will change it out with new every 8 weeks. Its a PITA but needed I think. It isnt lockout since the put all new hydroton in the trays and all the new plants that were...

Using hot water on the rocks would be tough to get to them. Salt buildup would only be in the bed of hydroton not in the new rocks that are in the 3.75 net cups and the new rocks in the 5 inch pots I put them in before bloom. Plants dont seem to exhibit any lockup in veg at all. Also only half...

RH is different in all the rooms trays. PH is 5.6-6.0.

I am constantly adding plants to the veg trays so it is kind of endless. The hydroton had been reused for a good 4 months maybe a little more which I have suspected could be part of the problem. Wish I never listened to my friend. If it aint broke dont fix it. I was planning on swapping it out...

Here is my quick history. Have grown soil/soiless for 5 years. Went to Hydro Ebb and flow in hydroton two years ago with great success and never looked back. Has ALWAYS gone without a hitch. That is untill the last 3-4 months :-( Plants are put into flower looking just fine. Problems become...
