Thanks for the help guys.. Answering some questions quickly..
Yeah I'm going to start propping the box open a bit and blowing some cool air from a fan with a frozen gallon jug behind the fan blowing cool air into there. Whether or not it affects water temps idk but worth a try, I'm sure the plants will appreciate it.
Ionic bloom is what I use. It's a one part I use from start to finish. All you need is that and some Bluelab Ph down. Good to go.
i would suggest not letting light hit the roots. that could be a problem for the root system. depends on how big your propping it open. they should appreciate it for sure. but if you see negative results then you know. only because its possible for bacteria to get into the res with it open like that.
Nice and simple for the OP until he gets on top of his system and environment. Plus 1!
Thanks dudes.. Seems pretty simple and I guess anything is better then the dark as murky trace my current bytes give. My Rez is pretty light proof by the way, only time light may get in is when I'm changing water. Nothing drastic
Do I tear off my rotted roots? They smell horrible
If they're rotted they should break off pretty easily. Have you soaked and drained the roots several times in a bucket of water? Or the bath...?You don't want that shit breaking off and floating around your system.
Like slinky said if they easily break off.
you need to cut the dead off the roots they are gonna fall off anyway and get some kind of tea or sterilizer asap! Pool shock, tea, h2o2, great white do something! thats one of the worse cases ive seen on here in a couple of months.
Read above ^ and also they smelled like complete ass.. The whole rez did. Now the smell is starting to go away obviously and the nice smell of cannabis is coming back. Luckily the plant is so young so only way from here is up. Of course unless it completely dies overnight which would surprise me but oh well
These plants are almost noob proof man its all good. They wont die over night, just make sure next time you are on top of it and do not let it go for so long
It won't die over night. My concern was contaminating your new clean system environment. Make sure you get as much of the gunk and rot off the plants as possible. Dunking in a bucket or bath will help a lot
Yeah I've heard that the Rez water will usually be close to the temp of inside your grow box, so I've been working on lowering those temps to the low and mid 70's, it's hard enough to get that given where I live and even more so my apartment AC sucks. But I'm doing my best.
