Plant has been drooped for three days now. A lot of the leaves have died and fallen off, I'm pretty sure this one is dead. It even stopped smelling like pot. Anyway, I'm going to try again. Just want to help prevent root rot in the next one. So...once a week, with the water change so do it?

DUDE!!!! This is amazing! Printing it out, now!

So, would you recommend pool shock over bleach or hydrogen peroxide? And if so, how much do I add? I was changing the water in the DWC system, once a week. Do I add the chemical daily or just when I do the water change?

Interesting. Reading up on it, a bit. I see that you can use "pool shock" or Bleach (I assume you'd need to flush all of that away at some point before harvest?). I wondered if one of those UV lights would work? The ones they use in reef tanks to kill algae and bacteria. Like this...

The air stone I have now is about the size of a D Cell battery. So large but not as big as a soda can. I will look at buying a larger one.

Is running a sterile system more than just keeping everything clean? Is there something different I'd need to do?

No. But I will in the future! lol. Shoot. So much work lost. Okay...sad days behind me. What do I need to do to do this better! ...and thanks again for the help and advice. Sorry if I'm a bit new at this.

There was no smell, but the roots seemed sparse to me and they had a brown colour. They DID grow down into the bucket. I just expected more of them and also thought they'd be white...not brown.

Thanks so much for the quick response and welcome! I have 15 seeds and thought I'd take a stab at keeping it simple (ie. read cheap, lol). Water temp was around 68F. As for the Nutrients, the lady at the Hydro store sold me 20-20-20 and something else for flowering (although I never got to that...

Okay so...I bought a bucket, an air stone (with pump) and a lid with the mesh cup. I filled the bucket with the water/nutrient solution and added mesh with clay pebbles and put in my seedling. a month later, I have a beautiful plant. A few weeks ago, I noticed that the new leaves were...
