The ec has dropped a bit more today, the pH down has been pushing it back up, both are small moves but it's better than ec up alot overnight. Thank you to everyone for the help too

Well that sounds good. Good vs evil battle in my res I like that haha. I'm still puzzled by the zero root growth in 2 weeks. Maybe a combination of the wrong feed then the things I got wrong, maybe its the calcium hypochlorite? Anyone have any ideas what might have caused it?

What if I still ran the chiller would the good bacteria thrive in those temps or would low temps not be helpful for that?

Just GFF and its all good? What would you estimate the temps in your res are?

Wow nice. That's using that gff? And in recovery from pythium? What were you using when you got pythium what were the water temps?

Oh boy so that's what this is, I'm entering into the benificial bacteria method, that makes me a bit nervous as I don't know anything about it and it seemed from what I read that's where everyone ran into trouble, I think it was to do with temps mostly tho? If I keep the temps under 20 celcius...

man I've seen so many pictures of people with sterile res full of roots tho, hm. These plants didnt start in dwc tho and I messed it all up a bit at the beginning.

Nice it's on amazon uk. So everything else is the same-ish? , temps all that, just use this product instead of a sterile res and it most likely will be a better result? Does this stuff do the same as a sterile res but in a different way? Fight any pathogens that would cause problems?

Wow that's very different results sample size of 1 or not. Good stuff I think I'll try that. Is it available anywhere as just the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or does it need to come from that company as a product ?

Ah gff got it. So the 98.85 %Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is from a certain company, southern agriculture?

It's my first time I just read too much about people having problems in the reservoir so I was just like no sterile. What's GFF? So using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens also prevents reservoir problems?

Oh didn't see the 4 days. Nice. Good stuff then huh.

Wow that's nice, how long did that take to grow those? Is that a product or just 98.85 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens? Do you have to keep the temps down using that as well? How much how often?

Yeah right i don't get it. I'm in UK so no pool shock and any hot tub cleaner pool cleaner had other ingredients so I found this just calcium hypochlorite, but yeah that range hey, weird.

they been getting it for 2 weeks and they not dead, so it must be OK. Yes smells like a pool a bit when I put it in.

So 0.01 grams per gallon at 60% chlorine, mines 32% chlorine, so 0.02 g per gallon, how would I figure out liters? There's 4.56 liters to a gallon. I have to divide something right? Haha shit

Yes I was overfeeding them I've got the ec way down now, it's near 600 but ph down keeps raising it, the plants lowered the ec a bit overnight rather than raised it like before. So they ate a bit.

Around 18 Celsius goes up and down but not under 17ish or past 19ish upwards, I have a chiller.

Yep lots, there could be more but there's definitely bubbles directly under the pots, 2 airstones.
