    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    BTW, if you want to add Paenibacillus azotofixansfrom from Voodoo Juice to the tea, it is available for $12 in Whitney Farms Organic & Natural Tomato & Vegetable Food (4 Lbs) on ebay for about $14. Not sure if that is comparable to the amount of Paenibacillus azotofixans in Voodoo Juice, but...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Weird, I got ZHO and EWC (made a teabag out of a coffee filter and a rubber band and wrapped it around an airstone) and made some tea with MycoGrow Soluble. It's been brewing for the past 24 hours and it has been FOAMING bubbles about 2-3 inches high, and there is something floating on top of...

    How to Switch from 3in pots to 6in pots DWC

    Ive got some 2 inch square net pots with white foam inserts that are supposedly used to root seedlings. Has anyone ever used these before? They're like neoprene inserts but supposedly act as rockwool but the material seems to stiff for roots to drill through.

    How to Switch from 3in pots to 6in pots DWC

    Niiiice. So I guess the issue really isn't net pot size, it's site reservoir size and root volume capacity. Because if I were using 2 inch net pots, I could always anchor them down with ratchet tie down strap, or better yet, wire ties if I don't have a 2 inch hole drill bit that I could use to...

    How to Switch from 3in pots to 6in pots DWC

    I always thought the bigger your reservoir size, the more roots you will grow, the higher your yield. The size of the net pots make no difference except in terms of acting as an anchor for the plant. I've got 2 8 inch net pot lids for 5 gallon buckets and they are a pain in the ass to deal...

    RDWC Help! Bugs? Burn? Deficiency? Lots of pics, please help <3

    I just got done sealing up my UCRDWC 2 bucket top drip halo and am waiting for the marine sealant to dry and cure before I test it for any remaining leaks I didn't apply sealant to. Think ill move my biggest gorilla glue in 3" net pot over to a 6". I'm a little reluctant to put the rest of the...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    My biggest plant has been losing leaf after leaf. There was still some slime stuck on her roots so I prepared a Clorox root bath and vigorously shook the slime off and then put her back in her tub and fed her some tea I made with just the MycoGrow Soluble with Blackstrap unsulphered molasses...

    RDWC Help! Bugs? Burn? Deficiency? Lots of pics, please help <3

    By the way, nice hat trick with the UC setup. I can totally appreciate evolution on the fly with the panda wrap. It sucks that you are being hit by slime algae. My understanding is if you are in a state where there is a drought, our tap water is using other less clean sources of drinking...

    RDWC Help! Bugs? Burn? Deficiency? Lots of pics, please help <3

    Brown Slime Algae...what a pain in the ass to get rid of it. First I tried peroxide and flushing in my recirculating setup to top feed to DWC. It came back in the form of brown pasty sludge. Then I tried Clorox bleach and flushing and recirculating. That seemed to do the trick. Then, I...

    Guide to Getting Rid of Root Rot

    I tried H202 on my system, it didn't take out any of the bacteria gunk on the inside of the return lines. Neither did Clorox or clearex. I'm hoping that what I was lookin at was dead bacteria that was being recycled through the system. This is what was turnin my flushes a charcoal gray color...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Has anyone ever seen green algae on rockwool used to start a clone? Is this a good or a bad thing? Ive got 4 new clones started in 3" netpots in a 3 gallon bucket and 2 other ones in netpots layered by hydroton in red party cups so they are isolated from the other 2 teens that I moved out of...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Yea, that damn cyano ate up all the bud candy and absorbed bad ammonia from tap water that wasn't conditioned properly. I originally flushed it out with H2O2 and then reloaded not realizing that there was slime in the root zone so this time I washed it out using HOT tap water and a lot of the...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Well, im waiting for the mycogrow soluble to come in the mail. I'm just feeling weary with all the brown algae crap in both buckets and on the netpots and sludging up the underside of the netpot. My temps are a little on the high side, 72-82 during darkness and up to 76-86 during light. I...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    So here is my problem illustrated and it appears to be getting worse. I feel like Stu (from the Hangover Part 2). WTF is GOING ON!?!?!??! This is after 6 weeks of vegetation. I'm using AN root tribe with Bud Candy. I supplemented this with H&G Excelerator, Seaweed Extract, B52, Sensi Cal...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Can tap water be used to sterlize and rinse out all the root rot that may be hiding in the grow medium in lieu of peroxide? So far my roots are stringy and hairy and white and fuzzy at the tips but the root mass above those tips are dirty with some sort of brown/black stuff which is discoloring...
