Ok tbh I don’t really know what Hydroguard exactly is, but I assumed that the product I’m using is similar: https://cxhorticulture.co.uk/products/wilt-guard/

I’m back. I think I ve sorted the problem with my slimy roots. I cleaned them up, some of them just melted away. Fresh nutrient solution 50/50 destilled and tap water. Started with 0.13 EC. Added 2 drops of bleach, a product similar to Hydroguard. That brought my EC to 0.5 and then I added...

Hi everyone. I have a couple of 2 week old plants, my first time in hydro. I had some algea problems because of light leak but I think I was able to sort it out. I cleaned the roots, sterilized everything and added some drops of chlorine. Growth is still stunted but roots seem to be white and...

I m sure there was light coming in so I temporarily taped those holes too

Didn’t have time to source black ones yet but I used black tape to cover a big part of them

Thanks. It’s a whole new world coming from soil. I hope I ll get used to it :mrgreen:

Thanks for your tips. I will try everything you recommended step by step, instead of the shocking product I will use chlorine to make the bucket sterile. (I’m in Europe so I will need to find a similar product and that might take some days - quick remedy - I hope it will work the same way) I ll...

Sorry for the dump question, but how do you measure ppm with chlorine? I only know how to measure EC in the solution

Not from the start but I figured I have to because the dust was sitting on the bottom of the bucket. So I rinsed them, but that was before the plants have any big roots

I ve heard people dripping a splash of chlorine. Would that work?

You re most probably right. Besides the thin layer of clay rocks, those red netpots are just a joke i can see light coming in but now it’s probably too late to transfer the plants to black ones. I ve cut some mylar and put it on top of the bucket and I’ll figure a way to make my res completely...

Nope, i m using phosphoric acid too

Hi everyone. This is my first ever DWC setup. Plants are about 2 weeks old, yesterday I added nutrients for the first time. EC is at .6. Root growth from yesterday is just amazingly fast but i noticed this brown slime building up. water temp is a steady 19o C What is this??

I‘m not. They will be there for 2 weeks then they get a reservoir each. What do you mean „clear airlines are a no no“?

Hi everyone, after 10 years growing in soil, i went for a diy DWC system. Seedlings went into the netpots in rockwool, 2 days ago. I use tapwater. EC of the solution was .71 on day 1, .67 on day 2 and .66 today. I was expecting the pH to fluctuate a bit and that’s why I have been measuring it...
