Pythium is gross!

Ok so I will try to get some pics up when this is all said and done.. converted .. whatever it becomes...

I should be taking pictures allalong but I literally am using every spare moment I have to work on cleaning and stuff other than resting. Well I am posting here but I just didnt want to deal with the extra...

So last night was a serious flower tub cleaning... I had no idea... It was full of a sludge of looked like watered down pepto bismol. Disgusting.. grosss .. nasty... I threw everything away including all the air lines .. except my pump.. And that soaked in strong h202 for an hour.. That stuff you can see literally attack the Pyth. I am mixing this stuff way way stronger than anything said... Rubber gloves etc... But i have gotten some on me and damn IT BURNS... It burns...

Ok I am back now... So the res and all flower and veg are spotless... 2 new flow table are in.... set to drain to waste... Everything is still in its cleaned tubs and those get replaced today... I am off to get more coco and garden pots in a few.... I am going to make this such a simple setup that any noob like me will be able to do it...

Garden pots full of coco... Sitting in the flood table... Top feed them timed as needed.. Drains to waste... Coc is really good I can see at water retention as is hydroton. I could do the same thing in hydroton. I guess I just liked what I read about coco... and it seems alot of people do it so the info on it is great. I know I could have figured out the setup I was running but ultimately I want this down to as simple as possible and I cant thing of much more simple than this....

So I have basically 4 dead plants in flower...Not totally but really close.... They need to be fixed tonight...I have been foliar feeding them some and I am totally against it but these things have barely any roots left so I thought it may be worth a risk... They are dying from the bottom up eating themselves.. Some worse than others... I wont give up on them just yet though....

Veg is rebounding nicely... Well funny part is anything that is new clones etc are all fine.. Other than they came off hurtin plants. They never had roots reach the sludge so they are just pissed I moved them so many times.. (one more...) Veg was not nearly as bad as flower on temps....So the sludge was minor there...

So I'll try to get pics up after I get into the newer of the new setups... Just need to get it all done and let things settle for a bit... Tiring but I have done really the worst of it already...

Thanks for joining me on my Journey... Really over the last 10 months.. It sure has been a hell of one....


:peace:
