Okay the pH is still skyrocketing but there are lots of new white roots bursting out everywhere. Does the pH issue ever go away? I am adding enough ph down to bring from ~7 to ~5.5 EVERY day. Lot of pH down. What do you guys think? Once the plant gets enough white roots in the res, will...

EVERYONE just to verify, does your reservoirs pH skyrockets (goes up, alot) when your res is slimed? Mine goes up from 5.5 to 7.1 over night or maybe in a day, bottom line is it SKYROCKETS. There doesn't seem to be any substantial info regarding this ongoing issue (slime and it's affect on...

Okay well my plant has had the tea for a little over a day now and the pH rising problem is back.... The pH went from 5.2 to 7.0 over night... just put it back to 5.6 and added a couple cups of tea.. The roots are covered in a dark slime which i assume is the 'afterslime'........ I am going...

Okay so I innoculated my new fresh res and I started sterilizing my slimed plant at the same time. So the plant sterilized in H2o2 solution for 4 hours, then was put into the pure RO water + fresh tea innoculating bucket for 8 hours. Today I wake up to add nutes to my fresh innoculated res and...

ahh alright good thank you i have another question , when you are innoculating your new fresh res with tea for 12 hours before adding nutes (with an airstone and everything), are you supposed to have the plant in the fresh res/tea mixture for those 12 hours and then add nutes? Or do you leave...

I did put my castings into a sock before putting them in the bucket, would that still occur? Kinda freaking me out because it looks so much like the brown slime "algae" that appears in a serious slime case. About to sterilize and innoculate and start over with my new tea and this is worrying me.

I brew my tea using the mycogrow soluble from that fungi perfecti site, plain earthworm castings, and plain sugar and my tea always has lots of stuff floating in it that looks just like algae, although i notice there is no slimey-ness the tea. Is this good bacteria floating around in large...

When you say you peeked after 24 hours, do you mean you peaked at the tea brewing and it was slimed up? Or you finished your tea and put in res then 24 hours later it slimed again? Did your pH continue to rise like crazy while you were staying the course over 48 hours? I really really hope I...

Theres all sorts of random things in nutrients, some of them could certainly hinder the reproduction of the bennies, I think the bacteria can multiply much easier in dechlorinated pure water. true, that one was obvious i feel dumb now. So if I were to just put tea into some fresh water to...

So the bennies can multiply and populate the fresh plain h2o in the new fresh reservoir. This lets them outcompete the bad bacteria. What I dont know however is are you supposed to use an airstone while doing this or no?

no, it had an airstone

I followed the recipe 100%. I gave the tea to my plant yesterday after letting it the entire root base soak and bubble for 4 hours in an ~7.5ml/gal 35% H2O2 solution. Today I wake up and find my plant is drooping quite badly. I am guessing that this could just be a side effect of the H2O2...

Hey everyone I just brewed some of this tea, and I did not sterilize all of my tea-brewing-tools like my bucket, airstone, etc before using them to brew. The equipment did not have visible slime anywhere but I understand that the cyanobacteria is virtually everywhere and impossible to eradicate...
