First ever grow, dwc, succeed, fail.. what ever it will entail

Everything seem on point when it comes the environment, it's good that you keep it a little bit colder with 24C. Your tap is golden! Use that to your advantage.

You shouldn't need to add any Calmag with Aqua A + B in DWC with two water, often not even with RO since it contains enough in the base formula. Canna is however designed to be used withtypical tap water in EU. With 70ppm I bet that water quality is very good and what's in it is accessible to the plant. I have similar water at home.

Be careful with adding organic matter to the reservoir. I had best results with running a combination of humic acid, kelp and 3ppm bleach. Both bleach and kelp act as anti fungal agents and bleach also keep nasties like Pythium at bay.

Shall I just ride it out for now see what happens and hopefully it will recover in the next day or 2? And I have already taken your advice on not running the organics I am now running normal house hold bleach which jas literally saved my plants and they are growing like crazy now they have recovered

Back off with the light before roots are more established and water through the netpots two times a day to give the plants nutrients and water and showing roots the way to the reservoir.

Edit!: Didn't read your last post fully! That's awesome! Bleach works really well.

Ok I will decrease my light intensity by 25%. Shall I water with the nutrient solution in my buckets and just pour it in there with a jug? Have a look at my roots 2 weeks ago roughly, they were full of stinking black slime and now they're pure white albeit with a little bit of nutrient staining from the canna which obviously can't be helped but to me they look absolutely fantastic thanks to your help and advice.

They are recovering nicely! New roots looks nice and white!

Happy to help bud! PM if you ever run into any problems or just want to share ideas!

DWC is fun when everything clicks and starts performing properly. I'm doing coir and re-learning old tricks. I've gone through Pro-mix to flood tables to DWC to Coco coir back to DWC and then Aero and now back to growing in coir . Every system has its pros and cons.

Cheers!

I'm very happy with them now I've switched from rhizotonic to bleach.. it's a fraction of the cost aswell and thanks mate I will do because you are a wealth of invaluable knowledge.

Wow you you literally have tried everything haven't you! What is your opinion on the best system for the finest smoking buds? I wanted to grow in coco originally but decided dwc was the system for me in the winter. But I think in the summer I'm thinking of changing to coco autopots with a large reservoir so I can go to my villa in Spain for 4-5 day at a time during the summer and then back to dwc during late autumn winter early spring. We shall see but I don't want plants to rule my life when I have a house in a another country. But tbh I only need to grow around 30 oz of nice bud to last me a full year which I am hoping In near future I can do it with 2 harvests a year
