I notice lately with my brewing also getting that black goo, but only when i add the mycos later in brewing. I brew the ewc for a day or so and when i add the great white/ mykos wp mix to the top they almost house on that foam and blacken in a just few minutes, soon forming the goo. when i...

Your temps are a little low for the microbes. maybe keeping them at 72 instead of 62-68, they retard the microbes at cold temps. I think my problem was because of the change in water temps, 68 at night, 78-80 day. I noticed the tea working at its best in between those, but i couldnt keep my temp...

I would assume filling a gallon jug of tea halfway, allowing the other half to be oxygen... then opening the lid twice a day, might be pretty efficient for preserving as many microbes without leaving it exposed.

Are you sure it is a spot fungus? If you have good air exchange and low humidity, most likely it isnt a fungus. I had what might look like a spot fungus to some, but it was a calcium deficiency from reducing my nutes to fix the slime. I also noticed alot of it only on my indica dominant plants...

No no, STORE it in the fridge, you had it right. With no lid on the bottle. it needs oxygen. BREW it room temp, and try not to fluctuate your room night and day temps too much. the reason you brew the bacteria at the same temp as your rez will be is because you want the bennies that thrive in...

I had a similar experience as you. Not sure if its slime, because mine was clear. Not sure if its pythium. Possibly both. First off, I am just repeating what Mr. Berg has replied, because my questions were the same. If you have PLENTY of oxygen in your buckets (airstones, etc) and your temps...

The reason to add the ZHO at the end of the brewing is because those are mycos, not bacteria(like in most of your other products, ancient forest etc). And while bacteria can eat your molasses and multiply, which turns into billions, the mycos cant. Mycos only start that process when they reach...

So its day 6 after transplant to soil after no luck at keeping the slime down during these hot summer months. I believe the problem i had controling the tea was the drastic change in temp. While the tea was brewed at approx. 72 degrees to 82 degrees, where i live the change from night temp and...

MOTHER F'R.... I grab one plant to transplant... get it in the sun for a sec... white growth in more than a few places... looks like its coming back... grab another one... same thing... some nothing.. but most, looks like its recovering... after i bought 50 pots and 400 in coco mix bs... LOL WTF

Well it wasnt the tea that failed, it was the most affective method and i used all of them. I will definately be using it on the next grow as preventive. Amazing how bacteria can keep water so clean. I think most people associate a live rez with biofilm and gunk. Not the case, even running the...

So what are your thoughts on this? Perhaps tap water (even good areas, i live in Lake Tahoe)(that all have issues with controling cyanobacteria) one would assume if its true that if it can colonize in water alone, it is very very present straight out of the tap. When we change our res water...

Well, my battle against the slime has failed. After 10 days, i did see new white growth on my plants, but this time the slime turned them about a day after they pop. I followed the tea to a T, and i had good biofilm on my stones after brewing, the tea kept my water very clean, but it seems not...

Mr. H, On another note, during your research with this type of cyanobacteria and tea, did you also test and research the effects of pythium. You say that once res conditions are fixed it goes away... can you go more into depth on your information on that. Also, once slime suffocates roots to...

I havent used it for the past 5 days, but i added today botanicare cal mag plus. doesnt say EDTA but it says it has chelated iron. how bad is that? is house and garden a and b chelated or organic? And i never had an organic line up... i just bought the pure blend pro grow last minute to while...

I dont think my roots have yet given up, and i feel like its not that i havent seen any new growth.. but it seems right when the little guys pop out they start to turn clear, yellow and soggy right away. not the nutes guys, havent had any nutes this week... i just added a little cal mag and...

So in our(wheresdasour) situation, at what point do you feel resterilizing is needed once you mess up (in my case organics) and youve gone soon to be a week on the correct regimen? How long do you think is the longest you would wait to do something different? I see most people on this thread see...

over 5 days and no new growth. Water and tea only, I dont see the point of adding mild nutes when there are no unslimed roots that can absorb them. just waiting for one whitey to pop.. but nope... just slimed roots that smell like shroomy tea. added even more airstones just for the hell of it...

Same prob here. First 10 days with tea is money.. First rez change and its back right away, noticable to most is 2 days ater rez change. Weaker tea? Not enugh tea added at the change? More food for slime at rez change?

Heres a pic of a plant and rez, to get a better idea, confirm the slime plants about 2 ft tall Heres my rez, after i added tea today... should be enough oxygen But its day 3 now and i see no signs of new growth anywhere, not like before. Im wondering when i should try and sterilize again.. no...

Thanks for you input, 2 days ago i added tea and water only. Running the pump 24/7 to keep waterfalls/ oxygenation at its peak. I have noticed the slime take over all the new roots i had obtained with the first inoculation attempt but no bad smell or drastic ph rise. I also followed your...
