Well, if you are re-ciculating like I am, things are different somehow. I didn't dose this week, roots are fine, but that myco smell is back, so probably in the pipes i exposed when I pumped out. This does work.
Tell us how it goes. Cheers!
BTW, I'm also running 30ml of Excleurator in 20 gals. I should have never stopped that.
Thanks again man.. this has been a mind bender.. good to see folks who can relate.
I am seeing positive signs, so wanted to check in.
It has been about 36 hours since my initial treatment.
I have two rooms, 2x600W in cooltubes in each. Six 5gal buckets, recirc via 1/4 inch tubing and 1/2 drains to res.. 16-20 gallons in each area.
Room A, has ladies that are 2 1/2 weeks into flower, they had stopped growing, yellow roots below the waterline, some whiteness above, but bud formation and stretch are seriously bad. They will likely get yanked as soon as clones are ready for that area, but I'm seeing how the tea does just the same. I don't think they can be salvaged to a reasonable finish.
Room B, has rooted babies that hit the room a week or more ago, they also had seemed to stop growing, until I started dosing with h202, abandoning my use of 'Hydro Sparkle', as it clearly wasn't working anymore. New shoots, were extremely slow, and variegated with clear signs of lockouts. As you examine the lower leaves now, signs of all the major lockouts on different leaves are visible.. some look N def pale, some are mottled with mg def, and others are browning severely from the edges due to all of the above. I had cleaned things for this run, with everything except bleach.. h202, iso.
However! New growth is coming in a more even GREEN! Some of the shine, I associate with cell turgidity is coming back. Previously leaves were dull, and I can imagine on a cellular level, wrinkled, stomata closed to preserve what little water she could suck up. New shoots of white roots from the netpots, but still early to say I'm out of the woods. By end of light cycle today, they are a bit limper than I like.. I prefer fans at 45 degrees, slightly cupping up from the centerline of the finger.
I wanted to add.. I am tracing my problem back to the initial slime infestation of last summer. Hydro Sparkle, did help rid me of it, when h202, couldn't even put a dent. But that fooled me as I'm pretty sure the brown algae never quite went away, caused pythium, which got stronger and stronger. My PH, in two previous runs had crashed, nightly.. from 6.1, to the 4's.. I can't believe I got them to finish at all. So to be clear for later folks, my issue now is clearly pythium, but brought on by the brown slime, IN MY VEG AREA, and clone dome likely. I had added a pre-veg stage to let the netpots get full of roots before the big rooms.. trying to speed things up.. that was the change that sealed it for me. I haven't shocked my well water in some time either.. so. and also lost my source of isopropyl, to clean, around that same time, since replaced. There ya go if that helps anyone sort out just wtf is happening to their plants it was worth it.
To be clear, my tea 'so far', is only my local EWC, and mycos. I'm picking up aquashield and hopefully zho later today, so it can only get better.
Sorry so long winded, and I"m sure the same stuff is covered earlier in the thread, but that is my read on how things went down.
More concise updates as things progress.
Many thanks to Heisenberg.. and the folks who hashed this stuff out way back in this thread.. this was a problem that I never dreamed could be solved this way, but if things continue to progress, I"m sold, its teas from now on!
