This systemic fungicide has me feeling much better about using it. It's used on tobacco, so that's the closest to mj as a label can get. Also used on fruit and veggies. :) also it mentions no til, so I don't think it'll mess with my bennies!

That's good news for you. Are you still using the pond zyme? I started getting a lil brownish roots too. Im going to a dead rez since i use dyna gro mineral nutes instead of organic. I know you were against h2o2 because of cost how about chlorine did it work for you?

I still am using pond zyme and hydroguard. I've changed from API algae fix to API microbial algae clean (it's more bennies that specifically kill algae). I use salts for nutrients as well, the maxi series from gh. H2o2 is good and pool shock chlorine is also good. I ran the pool shock for a few years, I just wish I had a chlorine ppm meter while I was using it because it's kind of a guessing game. I think for hydro, 1.2ppm of chlorine is needed to keep the res sterile, but don't quote me, it could be 1.5ppm :p are you're roots covered? Were you using hydroguard? Is it just the roots that are outside of the pot getting brown? I swear by this, keep those roots covered. As soon as I stopped covering my roots last year, that's the only time I had any issues. Also, are you keeping your water Temps below 70 degrees? That helps a lot too, but i think light getting on the root zone is what allows bad stuff to happen

I started doing ebb&grow and tables after reading about you, homebrewer, and al bfuct. I copied you on the flood table no cover though but all the api products. all the babies are in 4in net pots filled with hydroton some have white roots some dont... Not sure what the rez temps are..its 75-80 in the room. May get a res temp guage today! Thinking i should dump the rez and start over. What do you think? The reason i mentioned dead rez and pool shock is because i wanted to veg in the cloner see what would happen. I put in nutes and shock and they look great and growing stong compared to ebb table. Started the aero after and already passed up the table ....ugh!:wall:

.5 ml bleach/gal of water. That's what I use for a sterile res. Never had an issue.

I think your res Temps are too high, that will certainly cause issues at 75-80, at 75 no matter what disinfectant you use will pose a possible threat to root problems. You can veg in cloner just make sure to adjust pH and ppm. I'm guessing the light /air meeting your roots with a res temp that isn't monitored is an issue. Aero is 10x better than ebb and flow though, if you have that dialed in I'd say conform to that system :)

Day 49 gg4, sour power OG x Chem 91. I've begun some defoliation at the top of the canopy.

Gg4 - the last time you'll see her around. The last of the glue cuts I had have been culled. After reading extensively about the dudding problem, there's some chatter that it could be viral. If that's the case, it will /can show in seeds, spread to other plants, similar to what I've experienced. I guess most of California and Colorado are contamined. Makes me think wtf is going on here? If you have a glue, odds are it will show up. When is the only question. It's also showing on OG plants, gsc and other well known strains and completely ruining a lot of growers gardens. I'm not going to take any more risk with it :p

Spog91 - pretty sure she is a keeper now. About 99% sure. She's dense as rocks. Big buds. Very crystallized. Smells good I guess, I can't really smell it but my friends say it smells great :p

Ghostrider OG v2.0 at a little over a week in veg getting prepared to rock out in some ebb buckets in a few weeks :) already running 1.5-1.6ec of a mix of maxi series. Not really sure the ratios though. I've added an airstone to this res. Seems to be helping a bit and keeping the bennies a bit happier. Just experimenting with it at the moment.
