    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Yeah, I can't ever get my tea to store well either. I just brew a fresh batch 2 out of every three days. It smells glorious in my res now though. I just took a trip out to a place in the wilderness and that's exactly how the moss smells out there. With these results, and the fact that I'm...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Is there anything wrong with brewing a fresh batch of tea every three days and using the initial inoculation amounts (3 cups per 10gal) instead of just using the 1 cup per 10gal amount? Would that lead to bad things or just simply be more than enough? EDIT: I'm also thinking that I should be...

    Concerning the air stones and lava rocks: Is it important to use fresh rocks each brew, or can the same rocks be used over and over each brew? The air stones that I use for my tea brewing get rinsed off each time, but on my 3rd brew now it smells faintly gross. Do they need to be peroxide...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hey guys, checking back in. My previous pythium battle has been dominated. However, that was only the veg table. Now that I am using a separate (and slightly different) bucket for bloom, the problem has returned again, but only in that bucket. I've read through every page of this thead by...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Alright, update time! The new root growth on my babies is phenomenal! went down to 75% strength on the nutes, and I feel like I could have gone full strength and everything would have been fine. So far, this tea is amazing stuff man.

    Indeed. A definitive answer may be necessary. Reading through 200 pages may have a tendency to get one backwards.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Again, just based off what I read, the bennies favor mid to upper 70's, 80 degrees being the limit on heat. I think the lower temps work fine as long as slime isn't present. Something about the good bennies not being able to thrive as well in a cooler environment, despite DO levels. And I...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I do believe I've read earlier in the thread about roots excel not being good if you are trying to heal a sick tank, but if you have slime under control and everything is fine you can use a bit. I could be wrong, but I believe that's what I remember seeing. As for bloom nutes, just look at the...

    Day 2, and the roots that were beautiful white after the 3% h2o2 sterilize are now brown. However, I see some massive roots shooting out of the net pot. Big beautiful white ones. The older roots just keep looking worse and worse though. And they are getting a brown buildup on them. After...

    Well, the trigger has been pulled. Reached my tea's 48th brewing hour at 10 AM this morning and changed out all the tanks with fresh distilled water, added tea, let sit for 10 minutes, and added nutes according to the chart above and AN's PH perfect chart. The tea didn't start developing that...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    That's actually pretty solid advice. That means I do have some play room to deviate from AN's course a bit on things. I was hoping to run this by someone that might know, but I'm thinking that with the changes to the nutes below (they are all from a chart on AN's website. I'd link it, but I'm...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hey all, first post. I read patiently through the first 108 pages and I saw no mention of this, so I think it'd be safe to ask. I have AN's full line of Ph Perfect bigger yields grow bundles. (I inherited all my nutes for free from my brother who no longer grows, so $1000 worth of AN stuff...
