eventually yes, what colour is your res ? is there any light getting thru to the water? i reccomend cleaning out your res.

No light getting to res at all, it's covered and under my tray but it's normal nute color and it gets cleaned every week with nute change. Hmmmm. There might be some water that doesn't quite drain all the way on one side of the tray, I'll check it out. Thanks and keep it comming

so yes, sounds as if it's directly a result of your additive. have you assurance that it is viable for hydroponics?

what are u using to keep your ph in check , if your using vingar/lime juice u will get a rusty algea most the time on the bottom of your res.if your empty your res everyweek just keep it clean and youll be alrite..and i suggest bying an enzyme like cannazyme.

Algen xtract is for soil/hydro/coco. I ph with mad farmers get up and get down. And I use a blue lab combo meter. The canazyme will kill the algae? Also..I use multi zen (an enzyme i believe) once I flower from wk 3 to wk 5 as the schedule says. Maybe I should run canazyme the throughout veg though?
