    browning roots

    I replace my reservoir every 7 days. I use R.O Water only, and I dump a few tablespoons in the 5 gallon R.O. container...then dump it in the rez. By changing out every 7 days and adding H2O2 I keep bio growth down to a minimum. As my plants use nutrients and water...I replace with water only...

    Tired of the brown roots leading to rot?

    Hydrogen Peroxide and Horticulture By Bryce Fredrickson Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a clear sharp smelling substance very similar in appearance to water (H2O). Like water it is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, however H2O2 has an extra Oxygen atom in an unstable arrangement. It is this extra...

    curlin downward

    maybe it's time to start using some H2O2 to increase the available oxygen to the roots.

    First time Stealth Grow

    Yes, the roots should be in the water. As soon as the roots hit the water, the plants explode with growth. It sounds like shorty did everything right but somehow it still didn't work......I'm not sure what to say. And yes, the roots are exposed for a number of minutes while I change...

    First time Stealth Grow

    I think I also avoid problems because I'm pumping a large amount of air in the tank. I also top of my rez every day. I don't know, so far so good. I'm keeping an eye on the roots. I more week..... and it will be the only week of full strength nutes for veg, and then I'll go to bloom. So on...

    First time Stealth Grow

    I added 1/4 strength nutes when they all showed their third set of leaves. I started adding H2O2 right away...like the first change out, but a very weak solution...1 tablespoon in the 6 gallons. Every change out since then I have just taken the 3% solution (cheap drug store bought) and tipped...

    First time Stealth Grow

    This will be my first grow ever. Never tried in dirt, indoor, outdoor...nothing. I am using the Stealth Hydroponic kit that Roseman was so successful with. I understand the limitations with this system so I'm not expecting to produce the best plant, I'm just trying to grow medicine to save my...

    A noob's guide to doin it right the 1st time

    It's that hard to get quality water there? If that's the case, get the big cook pot out and BOIL your water. For the life of me I cannot understand why you would *want* the drama of trying to be successful in hydroponics with a poor quality water? The plants look good otherwise. The...

    stealth hydro bubbleponics

    I'm sorry to hear it's not working out for you, I have had zero problems so far with the SH set up. Granted, I'm not expecting some miracle grow as I know the limitations of this system. It's perfect for what I have available to grow with. I would love to post some pics but I have no idea how...

    stealth hydro bubbleponics

    Couple of things and I think you had them covered. #1. Use good water...RO preferably, DI is fine. #2. Add more airstones than that simple little one they give with the kit. #3. Stop light from entering the tank. This means getting covers...whether you buy em or make em...get those net's...

    Nasty brown shit!

    It's bio-growth for sure. I see that piddly little bubbler stone down in there as well. You could clear all that up with a few quick changes. #1. Get R.O. or distilled water. Always use it. #2. Get a lot more air in the tank. At least one more bubbler if not just buying a large 60 gallon air...

    A noob's guide to doin it right the 1st time

    Change out your tanks with GOOD water...distilled or r.o. and watch your problems disappear. I'm on my third week, first time grow with Bubbleponics set-up ina grow hut. Damn near the same set-up except for I am running CFL to minimize the temp. Since I've started using a good clean r.o. water...
