Light schedule is 18/6.


6500k 850 lumens, 6-8" inches away


room temp --> 73


strain --> pineapple express

I've fed her a sprinkle of moon dust every two weeks and changed the water every two weeks as well but I also notice a slight gelatinous fuzz growing around the roots in the water but I wash it off but it seems to come back. I grew some before and never had this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sure one of the hydro guys could explain it better. I run coco/perlite so not quite the same but if your roots have slime then yeah they are rotting..

Just doing some research on root rot and I tink hydrogen peroxide will help.

I'll post updates when I have more info.

It sounds like root rot. I'd throw that plant away and start again. Clean/scrub everything with h202 or bleach and run your system with a solution of it to get it through your pumps etc. Make sure it is rinsed properly after too!

Whats your ppm your running in your rez. A sprinkle of moon dust sounds like...well not enough. That plants deadish. Figure out your problem and start over. Looks to me like there should be an obvious problem your ignoring. My guess is ignorance. I started with lettuce seeds and other things. Failing with those and having equal success taught me what i was doing wrong and what i was doing right before i put it on the line. Proper nutrition with a base nutrient from most lines and a semi stable ph should produce good plants without having to think twice. Theres some type of drastic flaw in your design.
