Did the pc give ya any issues in veg? Ive seen she can be a fussy gal. Looking good man.
I’d like to say yes but I think I primarily messed up early veg by transplanting solo cups straight to 5gal nursery pots in straight promix. Which led to me over watering like a dummy

Alright lights are coming on in the 5x5 and we have good root progress in the 2x4. Woohoo!
I took that picture just before the lights came on. The flash really makes those sites pop!

Hey thanks GT. Man it’s fun to watch those roots. Just ate me some dinner, about to go do some watering and other various tasks in the garden. I’ll probably dump some more photos
Like a field of little sunbursts. Awesome!

That’s the vibe I got too haha really happy so far. They still show signs of stress on a number of leaves but all in all seem to be chugging along nicely

So I went to cull the Chunk clone from the left DWC bucket...the roots looked so decent that I put her in a solo cup of promix. Lol
In her place went a freshly rooted cutting from cheese #1. Getting top fed for now.
The chunk clone in the right DWC bucket is still showing great root progress.
Both buckets are at:
Ph: 5.9
280ppm
68F water temp
The SOG bagseed got a watering of
6.7 ph
5ml/gal silica ( EH sturdy stalk)
3ml/gal botanicare calmag
Nice little fishbones you got going!

Thanks turbo, the whole DWC thing is interesting to me. When I was in college I had a single DWC bucket in my closet under a 400w hps. Got a supposed Jack Herer clone from a friend and yielded about a qp off of it.. very airy buds with no trichomes I had no idea what I was doing but it was the first time i tried this years ago. Haven’t played with just water since then. I forgot how fast the roots move.
I’m super excited to see that badass bucket/rocketship contraption you’ve made turn into a a production site. That thing looks intimidating. That whole grow is going to look so freaking cool

Okay everyone I need some advise.
Is this root rot or nute stain?
640ppm (200ppm calmag)
5.9ph
66 degrees Fahrenheit water temp
Did a Rez change on the 25th (2 days ago)
I think I should do a half Rez change with straight ph’d 5.9 water to bring down the ppm of my nute solution.?

It doesn't look much like rot, if it doesn't feel slimy or really soft I'd say it is just staining. Your temps seem ok as well.

Hey Tunkers, thanks for stopping by. Does that solution ppm sound high? She’s still a little thing above the bucket. Wasn’t sure if I’m over doing it. Also, I’ve been thinking about an additive like Hydroguard? My shops don’t have z7 and didn’t have much to say about flying skull, but I’ve seen it work wonders on this site.
Hmm id say the ppms are ok.. thats just from them being in the brown nute filled water. Positive its not root rot. The parts that have been soaking in the water have turned brown. Would be smart to add something to help naturally clean out the system.

Alright root update. It almost seems like algae or moss? I can wipe it off the roots but it has a mass to it, like hairy algae. I’ll pick up an additive after work. And clean everything out with h202. Roots seem to be progressing and are nice and white under the weird algae stuff.. could this be from not rinsing my hydroton enough? (I was pretty thorough) or do I need to cover my hydroton surface (paper plate, etc.)?

Flower tent is still alive atleast. Hopefully I can keep it that way.
Hmm she definitely needs something to get rid of that material that is building up on the roots. I wouldnt try wiping it off cause you'll damage the roots more i would think.
