Almost there! Build thread to grow thread. 2x 100qt igloos 1000w HPS/MH-unkwn strain

i really like your setup! Pretty much what I want to build. Do you have the water pump for the spray nozels in the coolers?
My roots are COVERED in nasty brown/dark looking alge or slime. Not sure whats going on here, temps are fine and Ive mixed everything up just right. After doing some reading, perhaps the Trantula would of been a better way to go. Or, perhaps I should of just went with the DM Gold Zone.
I dont want to add h202 in there to clean it up but I might have to. The plants are going down hill. Only 1 of the DWC looks healthy anymore. Rest look to be burning off/yellowing out. Really just been letting them do their own thing while the clones hopefully root soon.

hey blue, sorry to hear about your grow going bad. personally I'd h2o2 like mad even though you're gonna end up killing anything beneficial( I know these items can be expensive) along with the bad shit. Yes I do have water pump and sprayers in the coolers , I run the pump cycled at like 1 minute on and 3-4 off because a submersible will generate heat run 24/7, this is fine if you have a chiller but I lack one in veg. The pump in a insulated res (igloo cooler) will def create some heat and the pump should be cycled.

Looking good despite the problems you've been having.
dont try and humor me. the dwc is garbage. lol. the dirt guys look awesome though
they make me smile every time I walk in the room! Especially the Headband! Now, if only my clones would root! I dont know whats going on with them. They have been in the closet for almost 11 days now and no signs of roots. At least they havent really wilted though. A few leafs have turned yellow. Ill go snap a few pics of them.

18 and 6. The plant actually grows more when the lights are off.
Ill put em on a timer when I get home. Hopefully I didnt over-water them. The cubes were heavy this morning after I gave them some water yesterday. I shook out some excess and then left for work.
Coming up on day 14 of flower. Im already getting excited seeing the flowers come in. Should I bother with weaving the branches in the SCROG during these first few weeks of flower or should I let them be? Most the Plat Kush's didnt really get weaved to begin with. I was able to get some of them though. Last minute setup on the SCROG lol.

Pretty sure Ill be fine all winter like this. Although, I am thinking about getting a new hood that is wide open. The shop has one for just under $100 that is a 48" octagon shape. Maybe Ill buy a lumen meter first.

If you're in flower, it's 12-12...I think you know that, but with veg, it's 18-6. My temps are about the same and I haven't had problems. With the screen I'd let them grow, I kept pushing mine under for the first week or so and is barely above the screen now. I think I should of just let them go.
tucked a few more last night, we will see how it goes this week.

They can rot, I've had that happen a few times. Frustrating.
very. anyway to save them? leaves still look good. few are starting to yellow.

I don't know man, I've never had luck. I've had steams turn to slime before on me. Maybe to open the dome more. I never opened mine.
