Do you think it was contamination from the ropes?
were you giving it Hydrogen peroxide in the water while "she"was sick
clean the bucket out every two weeks with little bit of bleach, making sure to rinse it all out.
bummer man
better luck next one

No i do not think the hemp cord during germination was the problem at all...

I suspect that it was a combination of factors but i will have to do some testing in my next Water grow...

Yes the ONLY way i found to fight the rotting growth was to keep the h202 at higher concentrations almost daily... If i stopped using the h202 it would quickly come back... So if it were in the final stages i would have done that but because it was so young i decided to just transplant it...

During the middle of the battle i washed the bucket out With bleach every three days at the very least if not more to try and combat it... I got tired of that routine as well... :mrgreen:

Day Oh... 14 days Later - But still HoPe... =]

LOL... it survived it... Just barely... =0



What you see before you is only the remnants of a great and powerfully deep, wonderfully plenty of water of the cultural variety and its journey that was its first and almost last =\...

Magnanimous and magnificent...
Yet all good things must come to an end...

Filled with grief...
Is it not quite over...
Rollin it up is a must...
Still not going to give up...

Deep thoughts...
Wild dreams...
Culturally sufficient...

ThE eNd... =]

DWC totally was fucked for me. Then I bought some solid black buckets with black lids and wayyyyyyyyyyy overpowered air pumps PER bucket. I also have been doing 13mL of 35% H2O2 once a week for 4 gallons of water. Finally DWC is working for me flawlessly. The plant is thriving and just exploding past the rockwool plants. My temps are rather hight too.... with the lights on it gets up to like 74.

My advice would be getting black buckets. Algae (red and green) can grow in moments with light hitting that water. you want to do your best to keep it totally absent of light.

Is that your reservoir temp... ??

Yes i have black buckets, check the pictures...

I do not want to make h202 a regular part of my plants nutrient solution... Yes it kills off any unwanted bacteria but it also kills some beneficial bacteria...

had one almost die too third week of flowering gave it a bad nute mix
took four days to recover and growth has been stunted for a week after then it started to go
but the flowers are all shocked and not producing I think
does this sound possible
