Hey you can buy that avid floramite on eBay for 25 bucks you'll get a small bottle but you only use a ml or two pet gallon

Parasitic water mold. I think that is the fungus that has been the problem of the 'dud', thanks to my old lady for the research on this one! Looks just like the poop I siphoned out of the res. Ffs most of these are 13"+ tall now which was all the grown in 7 days, I think I'm going to ditch them because some are way too big now, but I am comfortable that they are 100% healthy again 
This bad stuff could simply be in my water system, who knows, but at least I figured out how to combat it and now I can look in to alternative treatments.

Here's how big I let the roots get after the transplant into the macro plug from the Aero cloner before I transplanted into the 4x4 rw block. This is my first rockwool grow, so these clones are a test run to dial things in for a day or three before I get the new tray of clones. I soaked the block in 5.5ph 1.0ec water with hydroguard until they sunk to the bottom. Then I put the clones into the blocks and mushed the perimeter of the rw block around the edges of the plug to make a good sealed fit. Wish me luck

Sup Alpha. Haven't posted, but I've def been around lurking. Trying to keep up with all these good grows and 6-day work weeks can be rough sometimes :/ I had a similar situation last year. I still ran synthetic nutes in DWC and had a weird root outbreak. My cloner developed similar symptoms and I ditched almost the whole batch and sterilized/reset. I wanted to ask....do you reuse your hydroton also or replace it with new each run? I reuse mine as I'm sure most do, but I still made it a point to clean and sterilize all my used hydroton at the end of each run. Whatever deathly garbage that's in the water can leave a residue on the hydroton and spread that way also I assume. Either way. I'm glad you're getting it under control man. Stuff is looking good overall. Swing by the thread and say 'high' sometimeParasitic water mold.

Hey bro today I'm getting ready to head out to a get together for a ufc fight, did ya just make it to cali?
Hey bro, thanks for stopping in, I hear ya about the long work weeks, once upon a time that's all I had time for lol. I was reusing the hydroton for a while off and on but recently I've been buying new hydroton but still had the root issues off and on. The only thing I can think is causing the issues is fungus must be taking hold in pumps, trays, clone trays etc and just wreaking havoc, it sucks but I killed it for now, hope it never comes back too lol.

Good luck with the clean up bro! We've had some crazy storms here this year, even had a tornado (no where near as severe as the US but still ripped a clean path).

Hell yeah bro, it's only going to get worse over the next few years too, unfortunately! I love the rain but not when it's constant lol, too much moisture isn't good!
Mate, we don't usually get tornados but this is the third year in a row we have had one, the first 2 were only small but this one was heaps bigger...I really hope they don't continue, scary shit for my girls to witness, especially when I only told them 2 weeks prior, that we don't get them in Oz!!
Here's to better weather for us both

I'm the same way, I love when it rains at night, it can rain all night I'd be happy with that lol, puts me to sleep, but constant daily rain makes me tired, lazy, the yard gets messy, ugh! The little ones I can imagine would be freaked out by the tornado, I know I was when I saw my first one, I think I was like 9 yrs old!Hell yeah bro, it's only going to get worse over the next few years too, unfortunately!

You got that right, when I saw Shasta Lake in September it was so low I couldn't tell it was the lake! I hear it's risen a good amount since luckily, still needs a good 50' rise to get to an OK level though I'd imagine. It's looking like a lot of rain for this month which will help a lot, mainly we need snow on the mountains though, that's even more important
