That's my go to place for mostly everything. Can't beat their prices. Hell, I even got my Betsva light from them.
Is that the viagrow one? Is it fairly good quality? The seals and plastic thickness was one of my concerns

Me too bought almost everything off there... Its actually pretty good quality i threw it together in like 45min and no leaks... using only 2 of the buckets the pump was to strong and made bucket levels uneven, i crimped the line and it was fine then got a smaller pump... but for what it is, its definitely worth it

be carefull with the folier feeds. It can magnify light on the leaf and cause burn but also watch for too high R.h. could rot your stem without evaporating quickly on the plant. look happy and the tea certainly did the trick. lolWell everything seems to be going ok for now

I have done that more than once lol. To be honest, I ended up buying the blue lab ones as I started to doubt the Amazon bought ones and they are waterproof!
Good luck with the slime, did you start the z7 yet? When I got some slime I bought some 3% H2O2 and mix it with pH water and ran it for a couple of days, adding a cup or 2 of h202 every day couple of days. After that I did a res change with z7 and 1/4 nutes. Be careful of running z7 and H2O2 because it will kill all the good z7 bacteria.

I have 30% h202 but its not the food grade kind i dont think, will it still work?
That will work. Just make sure you mix it with water. It will kill pretty much all bacteria

Yea, i plan on using only as a last resort if nothing else works, then i will run that and work on preventive measures
Just don't do the same mistake I made during res changes. My water temp was around 54-57f when I did res changes and I figured this would be ok as the temps will raise. Well, when I changed the res every 3 days thinking I still had root rot because the plants look droopy the temps never got to stabilize on a good range and I was shocking and starving the plant a lot! Lol

The roots don't look bad but I am not sure about the smell since you have that tea concoction going. I would suggest a res change using 1/4 nutes, hydroguard and z7, increase your humidity and lower your res temp. That's based on just a few months of experiencing similar issues and what I know I did.
My res doesn't really have much of a smell at all. Just the nutrient smell.

Looking pretty good there. The only issue I see with the setup is the lack of oxygen. I see your using the circular type stone. You should go for a large flat stone. 6 inches. Is best. Or do the defused ring like Ganga. The problem is that the round stone doesn’t put enough air in the whole bucket. And always rember. That warm water doesn’t hold as much Dissolved oxygen as colder water does. And for the most part. The oxygen is at its highest content at burst. Right at the top of the bucket. So if you can get more of a oxygen spread. Th will help with that bacteria growth tremendously. Looks like slight root rot from sitting water.

sound advice from a pro. air can be the end of the crop if not taken care of too. looking good though kent. smell could be one of the additives . give each bottle a whiff. Golden tree smells of rotten egg when i use it and slighty stinks the room when changing res. stains the roots too.
