So this is the plants 5th day in the buckets. It started with just my Snow White plant, but now my other two Bubblelicious plants have it in their buckets as well. I'm doing a DWC with individual buckets and an air pump. There's enough air, res temps are 19.8-21.0c, temps in tent are 75-82. Got a 190 CFM fan with scrubber running. Conditions are awesome imo.
They are definitely stunted. It's their 10th day above ground and they're barely halfway through their second true leaves... and the cotyledons are starting to yellow bad, and the main plants were too so I upped from 150ppm to 250ppm and it seems to have slowed it/stopped it, but they still look bad. I think it's the foam?
About two days in the first plant had this foam starting on the edges of the bucket but now it's REALLY building, and the other two buckets on each side are now growing whatever it is as well. The first bucket also has what look like little black specs in the thick of the foam. It started white but it's for sure brown tinted when I took the lid off, I could see it/smell it.
I can get a picture if someone wants one, but someone has to know what this is. It smells pretty bad now. Didn't at first, but does for sure.
I've used Technaflora Sugar Daddy, Root 66 and Thrive Alive B1 thus far. Buckets get new water on Sunday, but since it's in the hydroton and what not am I stuck with this the whole grow?
I'm tempted to just kill the plants, bleach everything and start over. I don't want to spend my first grow miserable and get shitty gross weed from nasty buckets.
Advice?
