Well, my dad used to say WD40 and Duct Tape will fix anything, but in your case........

You have too much invested to quit. Plain pure soap and some neem oil will kill thoe bugs and larvae.
Perosice will stop the scum, just next time use two table spoons per gallon of water, and daily add two more as the water is used. Please don't toss them! Thy can be saved.

And I do appreciate anything you can add to the Hash Thread.

LOL Well I got plenty of those supplies around! Maybe duct tape it shut then spray wd40? lol Just kidding!

All I needed to hear. If you guys said "I don't know" then I would be worried. So, the fungus gnats should be easy enough. I always have neem oil around. I know the the Fungus Gnat larvae is a root muncher, so I am going to head to the local hydro store tonight and see if there are any quality controls he has for larvae. I have heard of Gnatrol before. AzaMax is also supposed to be some top notch stuff. I know I can find these online, not sure if the local shop will have them, but they should have something.

What do you think about another 24 hour or 48 hour flush? Go plain water and h202? Also add some Gnatrol or whatever product I have. Let them do there things. Then after say, 48 hours, go back to nutes? Should I continue to use h202 with nutes? Not organic.
 
you got my vote roseman! How do you post pics on this site? I have a bunch of the plants i'm flushing right now....I grew a strain called Rocklock this grow and one of them turned completely purple...needless to say i'm excited
 
SO....this is the basic system that is being used by this entire sub-forum, correct??

I thought I recall reading that a second airstone is recommended?...should I just go to the pet store and buy a similar one and some more tubing/ T-tubes?

Any other hints/tips of add-ons I can buy while i at the store? FYI conveniently I live near a petstore, home depot, and decent hydro shop...so any advice where I could get the best product for the best price would be appreciated. :peace:

Yup thats the right system, I suggest a 2nd 12" airstone and probably even a 2nd pump because that T connector and other airstone will weaken the bubbles.

When at petco I also bought a $5 water thermometer to make sure it stays in range.
 
Thanks guys! So I'll buy a few airstones and another airpump. Is there a certain size pump I should get? the water pump is 160 gph, should I upgrade that too? Also any recommendations on the ppm meter I should get? a certain brand name, price range, or where I should get the meter at? :smokin2:
 
Have any of you had those airstones fall apart? I had to replace all of them after my first grow

the water pump is fine that they give you...You can get a decent dual outlet air pump for pretty cheap....I use a milwakee ph meter and I also have a hanna one that works well

I like the Dual Whisper Pump from Walmart, uses two stones.
 
So....

If its root aphids, I am basically screwed. The sound like quite the ordeal to fight. most suggest starting over. Otherwise I am looking at hundreds of dollars on treatments that MIGHT work.

Fungus Gnats are cake.

I need to figure out which one I have. I do have some small black flies, but the little guys on the roots look nothing like any fungus gnat larvae online that I could find. I am stumped.



What do you guys think about HygroZyme to fight the Algae-like growth? Thinking maybe something more drastic the h202. Also thinking it might be a bacteria growth. As I have made 100% certain no light gets in, but I still get slime growth.
