feb 10th
be4 top up, ph6.0, 900ppm

one plant died of sum kind of root rot.

there is a foam in the resi (from h202?)

moved candy cane under flourecents,

transplanted plant from 3'' to dead plants 10'' net pot.

drained a bit, no calculations today, just toping up with 40 gallons premixed with 200 ml 29% h2o2 and 100ml x3 GH floura series

after drain and top up ----ph6.0 ppm 920

plants look gooder after root rot treatments.

i welcome any suggestions

be well

 

[tedb]

feb 11 added 400ml calmag ppm1090 ph6.2

another plant died from stem issue

 

[tedb]

feb 13
drained er down as far as possible with pump
added -10'' water
-500ml of each brow micro bloom
-100 ml 29% h202

water temp was 71f --- gotta drop frozen jugs in

water temp after nute change 65f
ph 6.2
ppm 670
room temp 80
45% humidity & climbing - i need more exhaust

plants look good, i suspect my top feed pump is covered in roots, so i gotta switch its location and change feed lines.

gonna start gh sub culture b & m in a few days after the h2o2 is done disinfecting the tank and roots

 

[sciguy]

why are you using so small rockwool cubes? you should be using atleast a 4in cube. On top of that your PPMs were a little on the high side, and H2O2 will be your best friend in bubble buckets, add 15-30ml of 3% everyday to fight against root rot, it also increases oxygen available in the water for about 24 hours.

 

[sciguy]

that's per bucket of course

week 5 feb 14 - happy valentines day!

plants look great

the h202 low ppm cold water blasts did them a solid

tomorrow morning i'll drain it again, give er a rinse & another drain, then i'll add 8'' of nutes (120gallons) at about 800ppm floura series, i'll give em the usual diamond nector & calmag. then tomorrow night i'll add the subculture b & m.

hopefully it'll be good for 2 weeks after this overhaul root rot debacle.

Sciguy, i thank you for you suggestions.

thats a rapid rooter, not sure if they r the same as rock wool cubes..... ill try them next

My battle is water temps today..... gotta step up my ice game.

The plants do look great 3 days after the rot issue.
