Im seeing more things now, my rez in flower is super cloudy compared to veg rez. A brand new setup I setup. Man, is it normal to perpetuate with grimey equipment? A little?

I cant see everyone doing that but I do see the issue now if you dont. Id think somewhere in between like once twice a year.

Just keep rez fresh. Otherwise its quite the hassle. I guess that comes with trying to make 12 pounds a year.

Ive had hvac guys say theyve worked on grows that had horrid conditions and so wanted to check mine. That mine isnt causing more issues than it was venting outside.

I had to stop but kept the setup which is nice. Roommates dont want to smell harvest which is like all day for couple weeks straight. Turns my room into a smell proof box.

Prisinor to my hash use and now growing lol. I cant help it. The growing has gotten rediculous to make me want to smoke weed again to make things easier.

I just cant though every time I consider it I just dab and think goddamn aint nothing like it. I quit hand ful of time but not long. I like go crazy if I dont use.

Same with growing, yes Im overwhelmed but if I quit Id go crazy from not growing, it happened before. Id rather dab less.

Man I seen some nasty ass grows no offense Im actually backing that up. You can only humanly clean things so much. These plants also grow outdoor which is never sterile.

My grow looks ok Il give myself that. I used to like the wear and tear I see after literally just one grow and on. Feels like one of those jobs youre not allowed to stand around.

Always must be seen cleaning something. Where do I want to stand in this? I guess as a lazy guy just keep aiming to not be lazy. Crazy this hobby changes personality.

Good to realize this and apply that to my upgrading setup, make things easy to take apart.

Btw I tried out the florakleen, it doesnt really strip things off like I expected. I used 5ml per gal basically with just water in spray bottle.

The jet stream seemed to help but not really anymore different than regular water maybe warm or hot would do the same.

Im sure its pulling things I cant see but hmm. I was expecting a couple sprays and salt is falling off but I sat there countless sprays it wasnt until I did jet stream.

Then it started to finally work but after countless sprays so I think its pressure washing more than the kleen is working.

Most grows aren’t sterile labs, and that isn’t really what I was suggesting by encouraging you to clean stuff. It’s just about good practices and not letting anything get overlooked.

In my perpetual grow, I cleaned all the pots and hydroton every time I harvested plants. That was just part of the reset cycle. I also cleaned the res and pump every time I changed it. My trays only got cleaned every 1-2 months as needed. So not perfectly sterile, but clean enough I never had any significant issues with infections or pests.

I just got done cleaning rez, refilling now. All pumps in bucket with pool shock and plugged wave maker in to circulate that. Feels good, wasnt that hard. Rez had some kind of perpetual bacteria build up was due.

Was just being a baby lol.Il do the tubing when I slowly upgrade them to be more clean friendly. Real soon like couple weeks.

Hell yea big difference. It wasnt this cloudy the shock expired I guess before 3 days which is first. Could be the bacteria just overtook it being so long since last cleaned.

Also realized the blender I use I dunk into the rez which is a no no. I guess you realize things when putting effort to clean up and stay clean.

Electric motor oil or whatever grease was surely getting into the rez. Didnt realize till I set it down and was filthy on my cabinet top.

Ive seen this before, why I didnt put two together idk. Everythings gonna be alright mon! Im starting to think the gnats and bacteria over ran the plant.

Missing piece to puzzle I just didnt know gnat larve feed on roots and can cause what Im experiencing. Starting to think its not fusarium.

Knowing the gnats better and how to rid them made a difference. Also the vivosun 1150gph pump the feet suck, bleach dissinigrates the rubber feet, also not helping.

So yea it wasnt feeding that cloudy but I guess ever since feeding heavy making dark solution, I forgot what clear looks like.

It was always a little cloudy for a while now. Just didnt realize, like hey, my veg rez is same ec and sparkling clear! Like claritin clear!

I get tossing wilted colas but Im not clear on discolored. These tops are to be trashed then? Theyre in a hot spot of light. I just dont know where the line is. People harvest discolored buds all the time.

I sorta know what you mean but at same time idk, Ive harvested and consumed bud from a deficient plant and or light burned.
