My drip emitters run 5 minutes twice daily; enough to make sure there is no salt buildup, but not so much as to water-log the root ball. I would decrease watering but they're in prime flowering time, and any less watering would probably be detrimental. I keep my mother in coir and only water her...

Thx smokedup, +rep; I'm not familiar w. guardian angel. I solved the root rot by transferring to an h202 and clean water bath, cleaned my res with bleach solution and mixed a fresh one up. This curbed it nicely, I've been using frozen water bottles to keep my res temps down, but it's becoming a...

Update 10/8 Day 14 Flowering Thanks for the interest, Merricus! Right now I'm basically following the Advanced Nutrients nutrient calc. I really like medicine man's blogspot, and his OG hydro schedule is pretty good. Right now I'm on my last day of week 2 flowering nutes. Advanced calls...

Update 10/6 Day 12 flowering Flipped on the T-5s on Monday, soooo bright in the box. Did a res change and ppm increase yesterday, everyone rebounded well from the first weeks nutrient burn. Working closer too 1000 ppm now, and it seems to be fine. Went out and got a cO2 tank this morning...

I actually looked at your log before posting that comment. You don't need to be a troll when someone is making an observation about something a ton of people do. You're running more than one strain and waiting until the slower seedlings are ready; this is understandable. But those PC were ready...

Update 10/1 Day 7 Flowering Root rot curbed 100%, which is a big relief. Changing a frozen water bottle in the morning and evening, which is keeping my res in the lower 60s, which with my h202 level seems to keep the pythium at bay. As I said before I over fertilized on advice from advanced...

That amount of veg time seems totally unnecessary. I think long veg times are what is causing everyone to have such huge PC plants. I'm almost done with week 1 flowering but am just reaching the end of week 3 in total. I waited for almost 2 weeks in veg because a couple plants were behind due to...

Update 9/29 Day 5 Flowering I think I have the root rot under control completely. Gave them another fresh water h202 bath yesterday and did a complete res change. I think the extra effort will pay off in the long run. Keeping my res temp down with frozen water bottles and pH balanced ice...

Update 9/26 Day 2 Flowering No above ground repercussions so far on the root rot. Seems to be some improvement. I've been spraying my root systems w. h202 solution, and I just grabbed some more, bringing my h202 level to 50ml/gal (remember, its only 3% so thats just under 5ml/gal for the 35%...

No one? Pretty please? any root rot advice at all?

Realized I've been using an absurdly low h202 concentration because mine is 3%.... wow. Possibly fucked. Just added about 250ml to my 23L (6gal) res and also made a concentrated spray and sprayed roots again. Christ if this ends it for me I'm gonna be so pissed. My rationale is 5ml/gal 35% =...

Hey guys, before we start in on the "use the search" and all that jazz I have been. I'm in dire need of some advice and would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm just starting to flower in a BCNL bloombox and I noticed some root rot on my plants yesterday...

Just gave affected root systems one more light misting of hyox solution before bed to help work on the parts that don't sit below water level. Also I've removed the pump from power. Not trying to make this problem worse by overwatering tomorrow. I will water manually with the water override or...

*Update* 9/25 Day 1 Flowering Sorry for the gap in posts, lots of stuff going on here. I decided to let everyone veg for a few days longer than planned so a couple stragglers could catch up, which they certainly have! Lots and lots of root growth from all parties. Transplanted my mom to...

*update* 9/20 Day 8 Veg basically waiting for some more robust root development in two of my plants before I start flowering. I'm willing to wait an extra couple days because they have literally had NO vertical growth, which is awesome. Everyone has been expending their energy getting...

*Update* 9/17 Day 5 Veg Lots of growth from everyone except for the two which are stunted in the last day. Just watered for about 4-5 minutes, removing the drip whips from the pots which are slower/wetter. The plant I plan to use as a mother is absolutely crazy, and is currently working on...

PICS ADDED TO ALBUM! Gotta split for a few hours, but later I will put them in a post w. captions, etc. BUT UNTIL THEN CHECK OUT MY ALBUM: BCNL BLOOMBOX - PINEAPPLE CHUNK! There are pics of everyone together, and then each individual plant. Bet you can spot the prospective mom!

Forgot, quick question about mother planting for any more experienced growers reading: Is coco coir a good enough medium for holding a mother plant for a significant period of time? I feel like after a while it would get pretty gross and be very difficult to change. The box came with a brick...

*Update* 9.16 Day 3 Veg Crazy times! Lots and lots of growth in the past 48 hours. I'm getting progressively more pumped! Everyone is doing alright; one mutant and one normie are stunted, but I'm hoping they pull out of it in the next couple days. From my best ladies I'm already seeing...

*Update* 9.14 Day 2 Veg Everyone seems to be doing alright. Of the 8 remaining plants, 1 is stressed, and 2 are muties (with only 1 of these showing real promise). I think I will likely wind up with 4 or 5 solid candidates for a mother. I just cant decide if I want to flower all of these and...
