    URGENT, Has anyone ever used colloidal silver to cure brown algae/slime?

    All right. So its been awhile since I used the colloidal silver and everything worked perfectly. After I drained the silver I started using Heisenbergs tea to no avail. I know it works for almost everyone else but it didnt for me. So I got a 60 watt pond sterilzer rated fpr 6000 gallons amd...

    Good call spanky. Your are completely right. I have been up for 36 hours straight scrubbing out my system completely ( filling then refilling and scrubbing over and over until there was absolutely no residual shit in there) and I forgot to mention that. I was gonna brew it with th great white...

    Billy's going to try some THC BOMB, Critical Kush, White Widow x Big Bud and Auto's

    Subbed. Good job boys. Nice choice with the thc bpmb. I love the bomb seeds line. Next time think about getting the big bomb. It doesn't give you the purple hue but it increases yeild and from my experience pest and bug resistance. I only run their seed line now because I fell in love. Working...

    The reason zho powder is used is for its mycos. Can be switched with any supplements with myco fungi according to Heisenberg. Great white has that and baccilus bacteria. So no worries on them competing

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Id change my system more often but its 210 gallons amd thats alot to flush weekly. Kinda wish I had went with the 8 gallon buckets instead of 13. Itll be worth it in the end but its a giant pain to flush. The next undercurrent I build will be 8 gallon buckets with 2 inch pve instead of 13 gallon...

    Mycos are the bennies, atleast thats what I think. Pretty new to dwc and bennies. Only been in soil before and have never needed them. Spanky, unfortunately my local shop doesn't have zho powder. They didnt have mycogrow either which is why I went with the great white. It had all of the mycos...

    Scroga, I used 8 oz per 70 gallons as instructed by a pro. Its a quarter recommended dosage. On the bottle it says to feed four times that every feeding during the entire cycle. Running it anymore than 7 days or at higher than quarter strength will increase the possibility of hermies. The roots...

    I had the same problem with my 3 inch pvc. The trick is to slightly taper down the ends of the pvc and use vegetable oil. Clean system thoroughly afterwards with hydrogen peroxide

    I am taking pics of the progress but wanna wait to upload until I am sure that the silver didnt inhibit new root development. I wouldnt wanna advocate anything before I can be sure it works. So far so good though. Slime is dead and now sitting on the bottom of my buckets waiting to be cleaned...

    Heisenbers post was the first I read unfortunately as he said the younger the roots the less likely they are to survive and h202 dip. The silver was advised to me as the safest. So far so good. Fingers crossed.

    Also kinda nice because the silver works at higher temps so I haven't needed a chiller. Too bad you can only run it for a week.
