no worries mate, How is your morning going
Good so far. Turkey and fixins shopping got done at 6am. We have an hour from 6 to 7 for old or folks who are sick to shop groceries. I watered the girls. So it's a relax day for the most part. Raining out. I'm asking myself if I'm ready to soak a Nevilles haze bean or wait. What's up with you today? Anything good?

just dealing with some nightmare with work. The two GG are not looking too good but also not too bad. They still have life in them. i really need that Z stuff to get here asap, lol.
Today will be a easy day for me once this nightmare is dealt with. I was to tired from work yesterday, but i have to change the res water, disinfect, wash some more and then put it all back together. I don't like playing with clay pebbles as it damages the roots, but i guess i'm gonna have to do it now to wash all that slimy stuff out.
I see folks doing it so it should be ok anyway. A PITA, but when the enzyme gets in it'll be easier.

I'm trying to do the math here and what can i say. Stoned head doesn't wanna think after 16 hours of work.
use 5ml part A+B for every 38litters.

so how many ml do i need? loL! i think i bought allot of z9

5ml per 10 gallon, so you will want 2.5ml for Part A and 2.5ml for Part B.
Yeah if you bought the large jugs you better like hydro! I bought the quart bottles and used a little over half with my setup for a grow.
Yes you will add it last. I usually did it after my setup was circulating the water for a few hours but you can probably add it in shortly after mixing up your nutrients and pHing. I waited because I needed my nutes to mix first.

alright, both gallons got reset. I have a 3rd bucked that is the same size as the res and i dropped 4 ml of peroxide in there and dumped the bumps and the air stones with all of the hoses in there and allowed it work for 10 min.
The slimy stuff was everywhere on the pibbles so i all of it out the pot and washed it then dropped it back in the pot without the plant and put it inside the peroxide mix for a min than i took it out of the pot and washed it all with tap water for about a min.
I washed the roots of the plants first and took of most of the slime, then each plant took three dips into the pool of peroxide mix. I did shake the plants on the final dip just so the roots can loosen from each other
The res got washed with bleach then i washed again without bleach couple times and filled it up.
added ph/down to 5.8
Added MC to 300 ppm. I think it was about 9 grams
I mixed the res water well and checked everything with multiple ph readers and tds readers.
I dropped the pumps and the air stones in the res and allowed it to work for about two min and then added Z9
Both plants are now back in the tent under TS1000 light with 100% intensity.
Fingers Crossed!!

So glad you got the Z7. I may have asked you this already, forgive me if I'm being redundant. Pothead. How often do you calibrate your meter? It sure looks like a pH problem, a lock outalright, both gallons got reset.

lol, you must of been really stoned. thats awesome!
so, that picture is taken after the cleaning. Ya, it was in bad water, ph lockout? idk, my ph meter said 7.06 and i just adjusted to 5.8
I calibrate my meter with every water change.
I've got a glass of tab water that i throw this amazon pack of ph in and it adjusted it to 4.01. I've got a bit of that water in the cap of the ph meter.phantom told me to get the storage solution which should be here in another few days
