First Dwc grow. 1 seedling not looking to great.

[Rollmyown91]

Hey guys any help or tips would be appreciated. This is my first Mmj grow and trying a Dwc system.
I germinated and sprouted my seedlings in soil and then transplanted to net lots with expanded clay. One of my seedlings is not doing to well.
Any thoughts? It’s roots are growing but not looking great.

Ph at 6.0 never higher then 6.3

temps when the lights are on are about 81 and when off 73/74.

Advanced nutes micro , veg and bloom 1/4 ratio in the res.

Kill the blurple light pics

Then tell us everything about your grow

Light distance
Nutes and amounts
Water level below net pot
pH of mix
Any enzyme cleaner
How often u change rezz

Etc etc etc

1.These lights are most definitely starter lights. 2-300 W hydro crunch lights. Only running one right now 30 in above tops of plants.

2. Advanced nutes - micro , veg and bloom 1/4 of recommendation ratio.

3. water level 1in below net pots currently. Started at about 1 in above them once riots touched have dropped water level to now an in below net pot. Roots about 2 in under water.

4.Ph at 6.0 never higher then 6.3

5. Res has only been filled for 10 days. Planned on changing every 14 days.

Increase nutes a bit

pH 5.6-6.0, not higher

Be sure she is getting wet with the bubbles

Change rezz sooner

Third pic is other seedling seemingly doing fine.
These are just random blue dream seeds found in a bag so not entirely sure of The quality.

whats the water temp/room temp?

 

[Rollmyown91]

I don’t have a thermometer for the water but I should get one. I suspect it’s room Temps so 72/81? I’m running a 18/6 lights schedule. Temps when lights on 82 and temps when off 72/73. I noticed my pH goes up a few points every day and have to lower but I’m thinking that’s because of the temp change.

You have early stages of root rot I would recommend hydro guard and hydrogen peroxide treatments in intervals every other day and top feed when you give the treatment wait a week to two weeks and you will see major improvement Ppms should be around 100 at the most on a 500 scale just my opinion

Water temp is important higher temps less oxygen but I feel you can fight this off using the peroxide and guard technique

 

[Tbomb35]

You want your net pot to be fully submerged in the water when giving these treatments so the existing roots will be constantly exposed to the treatment to kill off bad bacteria

I wanted to attach a few better Photos to see if you still thought I had early root rot. The first two are one of the other seedlings. The second and third are about original plant posted about.

 

[applejuicer10]

yeah those roots look slimy and brown. no bueno. hydroguard and h202 for sure. 82 us a bit hot honestly, you might need to look into throwing a frozen water bottle in the rez daily or so

 

[Mrs. Weedstein]

I’ve got no idea on hydroponics but that root looks sickly. Some kind of fungus.

Yea do the h2o2 and guard method you won’t be disappointed you can bring em back but you have to act right away use peroxide while you wait for your guard but you need those benificial bacteria to fight the bad bacteria

Did a rez change yesterday added hyrdoguard and hydrozyme for the roots. Today they all 4 look like this. Thoughts?

That’s not a positive development, for sure.

Not at all. Thinking about doing another Rez change and only doing hydroguard maybe? Only thing I changed was adding those two things

 

[Tbomb35]

Do you have any idea on ph? Or ppm/ec?
