Hi!
I am a newbie grower from Italy and i am growing some hemp seed (no thc in italy for now
) in rockwool and i am running a RDWC Growrilla system 4 bucket + 1 Res for a total of 75L using Atami B'Cuzz nutrient following the official chart from atami website.
The 4 bucket have an air stone in bubbling very well.
my plant are 14 days old and appear good, growing regulary and just started to make the 3rd set of leaves, the root from the pots touched the water today, first time running this system running from 7 days.
2 Days ago i started to see a white foam on the border of the bucket and ph start to rise, next day the foam increased a white dense foam, water is turning cloudy and Ph keep rising... sign of algae or some bacteria i suppose.
Res tank are placed outside the grow box and water temp still 17-18°C, air temp inside the box still 21°C and outside around 14-16°C all the bucket are White outside and Black inside.
Yesterday i noticed that some light may be spreading trought the last hole of the post that are not well covered with expaded clay so i covered it with some mylar and put 40ml of Atazyme in the solution to help decomposition of dead things.
Today the foam still here, Ph keep rising, removed the foam that appear white, resistant with some brown things similar to ear wax (just to give you an idea).
No sign on the plant (they have no root in the water) but Ph, foam and ph rise are bothering me, 3 day ago i have raised a little bit the water level to touch the bottom of the pots and maybe that was my error.
Foam reappeared in a few hours, I just put in the solution 150ml of H2O2 that immediately start to frizzy, and in a few hours i will check the status, i can't smell the water since i have some nose problem and i can't smell anything.
Can be some algae or bacteria growed with the little light leak from the pots? the foam seems to be higher in the 4 plant bucket and much lesser in the res tank (that have no Light over it).
I've bought some Voodoo Juice (Hydroguard are out of stock in my country right now) in case but i have not put in the solution since i think i may have to change water if the situation get worse, i think i will decreasethe water level to about 1inch under the pots bottom next time.
Any suggestion? Am i doing the right thing?
Thanks in advance!
