    Urgent, brown algae in undercurrent.

    Thanks for all the info guys. About the pondzyme, I was told it isn't that good for plants. I dont mind having to spend the extra cash for bennies though. Do you guys have an opinion on wether I should try and clean the seedlings roots or should I just start over? Starting over is starting to...

    O.K. so I cleaned out my system with a shit ton of hydrogen peroxide, emptied the system, flushed again then added ro water with cyco nutes (225 ppm) and ph'd to 5.5.

    Urgent, brown algae in undercurrent.

    Unfortunately I am too cash strapped at the moment to replace my chiller so I have been using frozen phed ice. The buckets are light proofed but a small amount of light was shining through the net pots. I cut small holes in paper plates and put them over the plants to block the light. It works well.

    premature yellowing on white widow and thc big bomb at the beginning of week 6 flower

    Thanks for the quick reply bro. Normally I wouldnt worry but like I said it started in week 5, the thc is a 7-10 week strain and the rhino is 8-10 so it just seems really early for how advanced it is. in one week 80 percent of the leaves on my best ladies were banana yellow. The leaves are...
