Newbie Dwc Problems !!!

I think we are talking about 2 different things here guy....Im talking about a simple DWC system, using a small water pump with a venturi hose to oxygenate instead of a loud air pump. Again I am talking about a plain jane DWC. And it doesnt heat anything up, as I said in a previous post. With my water chiller and current set up I keep my water at 66-68F

A water pump heats up your water. Submersibles. No way around it.
 
I preach allot about this when I talk to people about dwc. Unless you have a chiller or a way to keep the water cold you are going to get root rot. I read allot about good bacteria but I rarely see anyone ever successfully use them. Op look into getting pool shock for your dwc setup and only run non organic nutes. That's root rot but not the worst case I've ever seen good luck they are definitely save able and consider leaving them in veg for a few more weeks as root rot stunts growth

So you have never saw any success with hydroguard? I would have to say it worked way better than a shock for me, I tried both. Also there are lots here that have had great success using it I think.
 
Evening Everybody cheers for the response

i have washed the roots off with h2o2 and sterilized the system one of the girls seems happier the roots are cleaner on both plants pics attached was surprised how much washed off i used a paint brush and spray bottle and washed out into a bucket of h2o2 and refreshed nutes there currently at 1050ppm going into week 4 of veg pics attached (the dirty bucket is what washed of 2 plants )

But i think one of them is now showing a Boron Deficency i had a quick read around and it said to refresh nutes and leave them be they should perk up ? Pics attached. really hope i can iron all this out and its just teething problems.

i also read somewhere that ppm scale is different on some meters there is .500 and .700 scale and this will change your overall ppm reading?

Hydroguard is on its way although i struggled to get this in the uk

Dude 1050ppm is WAAAAY TOO HIGH. Veg oughtta be like 4-600 & flower 6-800. You can see the nute burn.
H2o2 from the store or 29% h2o2?
 
damn i will get on it tomorrow its to late now i read a thread i should be at around 1400 by now. Im using hg schedule from their website
