One issue I ran into when running extra stones was it raised my bucket temps and was actually counterproductive. The increase in temperature limited the amount of oxygen the water could hold even though it was getting twice as much oxygen

Adding more stones I don't know will be effective with that pump. I'll have to see what mine is rated for, I wanna say 1195gph. Seems like people have issues with those types of air pumps often.

What kind of air pump you have to help them breath?

Hehe update pic? Sounds like it's going well.

How you coming?

I'm on my first grow and almost toasted it with nutrient. 3rd week of flower and visible trich filling in good Edit first pic is in toasted state, second is now.

That's a good thought I wasn't really considering....probably not good for the skin. And yea chlorine is seeming to become more and more popular.

Alright cool. Temperature is key for two reasons. Warmer and the bacteria thrive, and the water loses its ability to absorb oxygen.

This is from a couple weeks ago, but these are mainly healthy roots.

I think that's more then staining. And your deeper in trouble then I would want to rely on bennies. I'd go with the peroxide (in my case it always cleared it up within like two hours like magic) then reintroduce your hydroguard. To really be able to treat deficiencys you gotta get the roots...

I already have visible crystal developing and it's pretty early so that's a good thing I guess.

I guess the gimmick I'm trying and falling for since it was included in my LED setup and that's some added UVB tubes.

I'm not into all the fancy stuff. Seems like gimmicks to me. And yes I would like to drop the orca when I can control bucket temps.

My local shop is raving about canna so I'm gonna give that a try next round. Right now I'm just using general hydroponics A + B and picked up a canna PK booster. Canna has a seperate A+B for veg and flower which I like.

Yea I have a temperature controlled chiller waiting to be implemented next round. I'm still on my first go 3rd week into flower. Ran into rot earlier on. Pretty healthy right now, so hopefully I'll get to say I beat it. Edit: I use orca for bennies. But that wasn't enough a couple times. Had to...

If you were having a bacteria problem anything white is probably new. Edit: as to your main question, I never stopped nutrient when fighting it. So I'd assume it would be safe to add a proper amount of nutrient rather quickly.

You also could of burned the roots from over nutrient causing them to die?

If it's the 3% it's pretty safe to use...... but for me in my 5gal buckets 3tsp seems to do the trick.

And if you feel like your losing footing on it at all, go with the peroxide. You can always reintroduce your hydroguard.

For future refference. Give them a round of peroxide and then give them your beneficial bacteria after about 12hr. You can do both, it's just any peroxide added after beneficial bacteria will most likely kill that as well. I finally got my buddy to try peroxide who has been DWC for years and...
