Big Buddah Blue Chesse First Hydro Grow in Mothership

My lights are coming on at like 10:30 so if someone anyone or everyone lol can please respond on what i should do with the res before that it would be awesome. I just need the ratio for hydrogen peroxide in a 6 gallon res and should i dump the res and all the nutes out and just use water and hydrogen peroxide. Also u said to leave the drippers on how long should i run them for becasue i dont want to drown the plant. Also how long do i run just water and hydrogen peroixde before switching the res again and putting my nutes back in and i am in day 2 of flower

ok so i got regular 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and was just told since its so low of a percent to put 40 ml per gallon and i have a 6 gallon res. That seems like alot to me but i dont know i have never done it before. Anyone please help on the ratio i should be using is 40 ml a gallon right if im just using regular 3 percetn hydrogen peroxide

I started using 3% in my Bloombox, never had better results, roots are white as can be. I use 10 ml per gallon when mixing up a fresh batch, as well as in any water I use to top off. It seems to be working just fine, I haven't pushed the boundaries with it, but I can tell you that you can back off the nutrient concentration. Healthy roots are much more efficient and use the nutes a lot better. 4 weeks of vegging right now from clone, I can't get the nutes over 140 PPM, they burn. If your root rot is that bad, you may try a little bit stronger solution, just keep an eye on them.
Good luck.

i use 29% h202 and about 150ml - 50L so about 3ml per liter.

U can add h202 at anytime, just make sure to dilute your h202 in a bit of water before adding to rez. Next time get a large concentrated bottle like 29-32% u will use alot of this stuff. Great for heathy roots, oxygenating rez, killing bacteria, Cleaning.

Ok people so i emptied my res cleaned it out with some hydrogen peroxide steaming hot water and a spray cleaner that has some bleach in it. then i took some paper towels made sure it was clean and all the bleach solution was out. Cleaned the airstones very well as well since they had some gunk on them. Mixed about 5 tsp (30 ml) of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. Let it sit overnight and phd it to 5.6-5.7 right before i put it in. I have kept just the plain water and hydrogen peroxide in the res for almost 2 days now. Tommorrow morning will be 2 days. I just looked in the res (forgot to yesterday casue it was my b-day and i was wasted and forgot) and the roots are so white now, all the brown gunk is off the roots. There is still a faint brown tint on them but barley anything. They look so white and healthy. However the main long roots that first came throguh are tangled up and dont look the best but the new ones still look great and there all white. Tommorrow morning i will be changing the res and adding nutes again. Im going to take it light on the nutes there first week back just to make sure i dont give them to much and harm them. im going to just add 3/4 the suggested amount, i will also be adding hydrogen peroxide as well to make sure they stay healthy. Is there any nutes i should not add with the hydrogen peroxide?? This is the nutes i will be adding please let me know if this is all ok. Sensi bloom A&B, Sweet, Magical, Awesome Blossom, superthrive, and last but not least some hydrogen peroxide. Also the plants were about 8 inches when i started flowering almost 1 week ago and now they are 11-12 inches. So they have grown 3-4 inches in the last week which isnt amazing but even through all the stress and changing of the res and root rot. I would say thats not to bad knowing what all they went through!! Anyway tommorrow morning when i change the res and add the nutes back i will take some pics to update you all. PLease let me know if all those nutes sound alright

Get some more pics up... I(f no pics it didn't happen

Ok here you go some updates of the ladies and the new roots you wanted proof of

Your plants look really nice. About the growth, just remember that when plants go into 12/12, after a few days due to hormonal changes they go into flower mode, when this happens while the plants are switching "modes" growth slows to a halt for a few days and then the stretching begins. So I would expect that the 3-4 growth was the residual growth they did on veg, and now soon the real growth will start.

Dude. Relax lol. Ur doing fine man. Warded off the rot and kept ur cool. Most relaxing stress in the world eh? Haha. Sorry haven't been in in a while. Had a second yesterday and I used it to update my thread but I'm here now and ur plants are some sexy lil bushes man. And tatan nailed it. The stretchin should be starting anytime. I know my pheno doesn't stretch much but I also know there's another that likes to double its size so be ready lol. Drop it to 1-2 tsp/gal of h2o2 and keep on the nutes. They're gonna get hungry real soon. Time to start getting anal about ur ph. Apparently sensibloom and grow are "ph perfect" but I wouldn't let that ease my mind. Things look good and green man. Just take a little more time to sit and just watch. It'll be less stressfull on you and the plants. Ignore them and they'll almost grow to spite you.and the more time u spend in there with ur plants the more the plants will benefit from the c02 you exhale. Sorry man. Smokin some early cut snowdawg and can't seem to stfu.

Looking nice.. good luck!

Thanks guys i guess it is more of me just needing some reassurance since this is my first hydro grow and the first grow my plants have looked this good. Like i said i have a couple soil grows under me but something always happened and the finished product never came out how i had hoped. But i apprecaite all the comments.

Ok so tomorrow starts week 2 of flower. I just changed the res and added 3/4 strength nutes and am using the nutes i stated in one of my last posts. Roots are looking much better but i dont know if they died during the root rot or what the roots themselves dont look that great but all the gunk is gone so we will see what happens. I will post pics tomorrow morning of the roots and what the plants are looking like. All of the plants already have some pistils showing except the biggest bushiest one which looks like the growth has slowed alot. It was the tallest and isnt anymore. Oh well only time will tell how they are going to recover. Pics up tomorrow, hopefully when i wake up and look at them they went crazy over the new nutes with there fresh roots!

Plants looking good. Subscibed

God its seems like one thing after another with these damn roots. I had the root rot and used some plain water and hydrogen peroxide and cleared it up. New roots were coming through and i thought i was ready to watch my ladies go at it. So last night i emptied the res added new phd water with all my nutes and some hydrogen peroxide to make sure that shit didnt come back. When my lights turned on a little bit ago i check my ladies they grew about 1/2inch and there looking nice and green and healthy then i lift the res top up and check the roots and there fing covered in a white gunk like a snot looking texture. My res temps have been staying between 66-72 so its not that high and my box temp has been between 72-86. I have no idea why this is happening. Here is what i added to the res last night 35ml of sensi bloom A&B
5ml of magical, 5ml of superthrive, 5ml of awsomeblossom, 60ml of sweet and about 120ml of hydrogen peroxide 3% my res is 6 gallons so 120ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide isnt really alot. Anyway i got some pictures The ladies still look amazing and the leaves are still perfectly green and there growing but the roots still look like shit. After root rot now whatever this is why have my plants not been affected at all? Im sure they have been affected by growth or something but the leaves stay nice and healthy and they keep growing. Anyway any help or advice would be grealty appreciated i cant loose these ladies.

It definitely looks like a fungus. The hydrogen peroxide is supposed to take care of it but I am not sure since I have never had this problem. I also heard that it is because of light hitting the res water. I would cover up the hydroton because light can make it through there. Good luck!

OK getting some aluminum foil now and covering up everything possible that could have light coming through it

It is also possible for your nutes to become contaminated, if any of the fungus gets in it and it is sitting in the grow room with the direct lights on it. You will see the mucus looking fungus in it along the side of the bottle. I would also need to be a clear or transparent bottle for this to happen. This doesn't happen very easily though. Just thought I would let you know so that you can keep an eye on it.

Hey man. How does the inside of your tub look? Is the slime foating in the res? Are your air stones covered in it?

My course of action before any chemicals or changes to the solution is to simply wash all the gunk off gently, lightproof your box, and monitor it every few hours to see if it comes back, and how fast. You might get lucky if its algae before having to act.

If it comes back, I would recommend a hydrogen peroxide dunk, and a complete flush and clean of your res. To do this, mix about a 1 part hydrox (35%) and 4 parts water into a bowl. BE CAREFUL, THIS SHIT WILL EAT YOUR SKIN!!

Then, take the baskets of your plants, and dunk the roots slowly into that solution to the base of the basket. Youll see the fizzle of the peroxide, and it'll literally eat the bad shit right off. This will devastate your root structure, however, you don't really have thick roots to begin with so I would try and clean them off, clean up your tub, solve the temperature issue and start with fresh roots. Your plants should recover.

If you don't see roots in a few days, I strongly suggest voodoo juice at that point, or just flat out starting over with lower temps (60-65) and a cleaner tub.

Also, how are you adding your hydrogen peroxide to your res? are you diluting first? what concentration are you using? how often are you adding it?

Sorry, I just read your post a little closely about the concentration. Save that 3% shit for your wounds, and keep it out of your res. It's garbage for hydro, totally inefficient and has additives to dilute it.

I've been told in order to kill the pythium outright, for a 34 litre res, you need to fill it with water and 100ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide, and run that for a couple hours. You can get an idea as to why you probably didnt kill the pythium with the measurements you've outlined in your journal. I don't know how big your res is, so I cant give you the dialed back measurement of h2o2, but you can do the math.

Go to the hydro store and invest in a 4 litre bottle of 35%. Its like 40 dollars, and itll last you 2 years.
