After seeing some gunk in the buckets, I decided to take the time to clean out the whole system. This happened on Saturday: Thoroughly cleaned and flushed the system. 4 times flushed and scrubbed down. I had some spare hydroton so I soaked that overnight in 5.7 water. I took all the plants and...

................... Lil help?

Anyone else?

1. no nutes yet. plan to clean everything out tomorrow and add fresh water with nutes. 200 ppm it will be. haven't done a great job of being extra sanitary so I think that's best. 2. What's wrong with H2o2? I've heard great things. And honestly since adding it there has been a big change in the...

Bump. Anyone? Could use some feedback.

Bump. Anyone?

Ok, so here is the update. I have pics that were taken last night. This makes it about 7 days in the system. I don't think anything got worse. I added about 60 mL of H2O2 to the res which is about 8-9 gallons. I syringe feeded all the plants about 10 ml of 1/8th strength nute water - pH about...

All those views and no help? I said please! :wall:

another gracious bump.

OK, so here is the roots of one of the plants. I looked at 2 more and they looked similar. If you look close you can see the brownish discoloration on one. It looks like that area of the root has been thinned a bit. This can't be good. The bottom of the rockwool isn't really wet, and...

Good info. It can't be nute discoloration because the plant hasnt gotten enough nutes yet. That particular plant only had 8 ml total of 1/8th strength nutes that looked clear. I'll check another plant and see if I see a similar discoloration, one with nothing but water so far.

OK, just looked at the roots on one plant, the most sickly. There 6 or so roots shooting out of bottom of rockwool - good sign. Bad sign, there is a slight discoloration on a few, a little reddish brownish color. Now this could be from the hydrotons, but I don't want to take any chances. I've...

Ok, thanks man.

Thanks. Ok, gonna do that. Last question. Can I run the CFL's 24/7?

Wait that was a mistake. I'm running 3 65 Watt 6500k CFL's, can I add one more 55 watt 2700K without doing any harm until i get the replacement?
