Josh's Dwc

Day 15 since putting her in the tub, could say that the roots are well established now
Quick question for you guys though. Realized that when I do rez changes I won't be able to lift the roots all the way out of the tub due to my light being in the way. Will it harm the roots when they brush up against the tub as I'm taking it out?? Hope that makes sense.

Also, I can't say this enough. I highly recommend NOT using the ph down I have pictured below, at least for dwc. When I was using the General Hydroponics the pH stayed right at 5.8 for days, never moved. I'm literally adjusting 2-3 times a day with this shitty earth juice. Another bottle of gh should be in tomorrow though

your better having another tank, you wont be able to lift them for long or the plant as it will coup. Also why are they brown? Is it slime or nutrient discolouration? Looks worryingly like pyth :/

[Josh]

Hoping it's brown because of the microbes and humic acid. If I have pythium would the leaves look affected, bad smell etc.?

not to begin, but it would feel slimy. I would consider getting phythoff in case to have as a if needed solution.

Will do, thanks grouse

18 is perfect :) I run 18.5tbh.
Maybe it is just the nutes etc, they were pure white other day tbf.

Is h2o2 a must in your opinion?

That tea I've been pouring in looks like coffee, so I'm hoping that's why they're brown. LOL
