Hi its me again :) (last time I waited there and trying to get help from here and you guys give me good answers thanks for that <3)


now I have different problem and its root riot I changed my nutritions to advanced nutritions and now I do nothing for PH, but before I used advanced hydroponics of holland and I didn't have that problem (ok maybe when I start first growing way ago had that problem but it was coz I had too warm water :D ). But whit this nutrition, start was good but when I raise(2.0+ EC/ppm comes brown shit to my nft mat and now its everywhere and my roots start to go brown too..

if there have any nft growers who grow whit same nutrition I would love to talk and share growing tricks together( I'm in week 6 of flowering.)

and sorry for my English I think my English is better than google translate :)1.jpg

Looks like staining of your white mat from Advanced Nutrients "pH perfect" part A. It's dark brown, part B is clear. If your using B-52 or some other dark nutrient. If you had root rot or the like few others, your plants would look like they have a major lack of disolved oxygen, your dont show symptoms from what i can tell. However, 21C (69F) is a tad warmer than I'd like, but NFT is more forgiving than say, DWC. Increasing dissolved oxygen in the nutrient tank is always a good idea with warmer temperatures.

Some biofilm is normal with additives like B-52 and such. You could always run an enzyme product in the resivore tank.

Cannabis Prof. Bugbee says 25-26C water temps and so that's what I run.

If it's working for you then don't change nothing. The warmer the water is, the less dissolved oxygen and the more suitable to breed microbes and biofilms. The ideal temperature is 60F.

Pretty sure Bugbee would be talking air temp. Highly doubt anyone is running water that warm successfully.

22:20 Pretty sure he wasn't, 26c-30c is recommended for root zone

Personal experience.
But out of shits and giggles I did a Google search and I was surprised to see that in all hydroponic systems 70 and up is encouraged. I didn't think I was that old, I guess 20 years goes by pretty fast. Lol
