Thought about that but this one would have to be in a closet or somewhere else .

You got the hang of it now, so you know what you need and what to do. I expect nothing less than excellence lol. No pressure haha.

Looks like your ph has been low. Your roots show it. That's why they are that yellow/brown. Cunt hair away from rot, but still plenty to save. I would cut at least a 1/3 of that root mass off, if not half.

Sterilize your res and reset to 2.5ml of each per gallon. Set your ph to 5.8-6.0, no lower. Don't add anything other than the nutes and your microbes. It will pick up by the end of the week and start exploding by next week.

Okay I’ll get a new reservoir made up.

I have the jest of it . Have the tent under 80 and humidity in the 60s finally . Going to replace the cheap air stones and get the 5$ ones from grow shop. The cheap ones skate all over the place and get tangled into the roots .

I’ve cut off all of my bh roots . Took about a week for new ones and it hasn’t slowed down a bit

 

[LowAnkle]

In a medium, you can add weekly. In hydro, you have to add sparingly. It's not even so much the K, it's the valence of silicon.

Oh yea, I make my own compost, 100 gallons of compost makes about 300 gallons of potting soil for about 30 to 40 dollars, with the peat moss and perlite or pumice.

I would still cut those roots back. Sounds crazy, I know.


Before

Could the yellowing be coming from the megacrop? It’s piss yellow in the water and it’s like a brown/tan powder when dry.... I’m going to go ahead and switch back to the GH at 2.5 ml per gallon. Just curious. My ph was low today it was 5.4 but between Monday and today it dropped from 6.1 to there.

I make compost and have worms for castings. Can't beat it.

Peat moss... I see why you like dolomite lol.

It could be the MC, but the tangling/twisting are signs of a low ph or rot starting to have good conditions.

@iceman2494

Can you post a pic of your more established roots as a comparison please?

 

[iceman2494]

Have some old ones .

 

[schmebulock]

i can barely stick my truncheon in the bucket without running into roots now, she's drinking a couple inches a day still... have to top off everyday and then squirt in some pH up

 

[3rd Monkey]

BH update.



3M




Not sure what the deal is with the BH. Same time, same mix, same everything as the 3M.

Put it in hydro to see if I can baby it back to health. Roots popped the cup this morning, so hoping for the best... finicky bitch lol.

@Smokexbreak

See how those roots are stringy and not clumped/twisted/tangled?

That's your sign something is off with your roots.

Thanks Ice.

That's a good problem to have lol.

You could cut... or not lol. Then again, ph up says flowering.

So PH and microbes will fix this? Will a peroxide spray be a last alternative?

Oh yea love ag lime and dolmite even for regular gardens, get it from the local rock quarry. Cant beat it. Havent used a ph meter in prolly 10 years.
