Dwc/Bubbleponics first grow

[Vtroy85]

your roots look a bit suspect for rot. are you using anything to prevent it?

No I'm not using anything. I'm actually on my way to my hydroponic store now. What do you suggest?

you have 2 choices to make first:

sterile or beneficial bacteria??

sterile; kill everything
bacteria: make sure good bacteria > bad bacteria

 

[Vtroy85]

Dam... maybe I'll start with some sterile then switch after a week. Or I might be able to stay with sterile because sensi grow already has bacteria in it

 

[rkymtnman]

because sensi grow already has bacteria in it

you sure about that?
if you are in the US , southern ag garden friendly fungicide is what you want to buy to run with bene bacteria

keep an eye on that upper right plant. kinda looks a bit like a Mg deficiency in some of the newer growth

I was thinking the same thing. ( I wasnt adding cal/mag until this feed because my water had enough!)

i would just add epsom salt. no need for more N and Ca if you don't need it

If you’re curious I ph’d my water up closer to 6 and flushed my plant!

that's what i love about hydro in a nutshell: problems happen quickly but can also be fixed quickly.

Yes. This one was simple as well. I was keeping my Rez water closer to 5 instead of six (don’t know why, there was no logical reason.) magnesium doesn’t start to be absorbed until practically a 6 ph anyway. Literally saw a change within 2 days. New growth gained a nice green color again, and dead spots quit showing up.

update: has my light WAY to close. This was causing issues, pulled light up and plants seem to enjoy this better.

Man that looks Amazon! I hope my next grow turns out that good. I had a hermie in my tent and I didn't catch it in time. It pollinated the other plants causing them to seed up
