the plants look pretty healty tbh, im just worried about the roots.
I would be too, usually once you get rot you keep getting it. I bought chillers and it didn’t help and that was with 10ml a gallon of 35% peroxide. Only thing that changed things was sm90 and enzymes. I used them both at the same time so I am not sure if it was both of the products that helped or one..the plants look pretty healty tbh, im just worried about the roots.
Yeah so one guy said raising wattage but raising light is counter productive.eeesh... i've invested a heelia chiller, $$$$ but the res temp is good at the moment, so i've held back using it as it's winter here. ... and the LED dont help... I'm used to battling the heat, now I'm battling the cold.
Have you tried chlorine yet? That’s what worked best for me. Not sure if you can get pool shock but if you can it works really well at keeping all the bad stuff dead.it's my first DWC run though, baptism of fire lol!
I stand corrected lol. Never dealt with too cold of temps so didn't think about that..Yeah so one guy said raising wattage but raising light is counter productive.
This is one of those situations where that is not the case.
If your too cold, raising the light and the wattage your plants are getting the same par but your also raising the air temperature too which it sounds like you'd benefit from
i'd bet a fair bit of $ that the root issues are what's keeping you from running stronger lightsthe plants look pretty healty tbh, im just worried about the roots.
Yeah they probably do cancel each other out but chlorine is far better at killing off all bad bacteria then peroxide. Chlorine is safe for humans and plants up to 5ppmThanks... that's a good point.
The roots have really put some weight on since I cleaned the rez up, and are looking a bit better too.
I'll maybe try bumping the light power up in a day or so and see how they react.
I dont wanna try chlorine as i'm already using hydrogen peroxide as disease prevention after the near disaster and I think they both cancel each other out if I understand correctly?
15 to 20 watts per sq ft. For veg. 35+ for flowering. I use this as a rough starting point.
