Need Help! Slime on Roots

I need some major help i am growing a bubba kush in a 5 gallon dwc it is a week into flower and cant kick the slime on the roots i got some great white myco and some 29% h2o2 but just added yesterday looks alittle better but not by much pics in my journal please help plus rep for any help and need it back also....

well you cant add great white and h202 the h202 kills the great white bactirim and fungi ..But besides that your on the right track id add your h202 every 6-8s for the next 48-72 hours than change your water and start to add your great white ..Also 2 products that may help are Sm90 very good good surfacant and hydrozime can help to eat away the dameged parts of your roots ..Good luck man

didnt know that abut the myco and h2o2 but i added 12ml yesterday so not sure when to dose again i did hit my dirtbags with it but i just dont want to lose my water bud first hydro i can monitor i did one before with not much luck 84gs wet with a 150 hps and 6 weeks veg but didnt check ph but about every two weeks...too far from home

6 weeks veg and you're only using a 150W hps? That doesn't make much sense, that plant would be way too big for a 150W.

I'd follow billy's advice though. H2O2 and then bennies. Check out heisenbergs tea recipe in this same forum too. Make sure your water temps are 60-70F. If you only have 1 lonely 5gal I'd be changing out the water every 4 days or so.. small reservoirs get mucked up quickly.

29% H202 needs to be added at 3 to 7 ML per gal. Every three days dont use the brown bottle
Brand get the kind at the grow store.

i been changing weekly and running the water a day in advance just to stablize the ph but i have a 400 mh on those i grew the other on a 150 hps there is shitty pics on a thread i think it is titled first 1000 watt rdwc or something like that but just need help on these in the tent and also would you get a hps bulb or just run my hortilux blue has good red but lower lumens that some hps

make sure your airstone is working. mine going south killed my first go around. def recommend hygrozyme after you do a few cycles of hooh.

If your thinking of using zyme or anything like it then i would look into a thread called bruing ben tea in the
Hydro dwc section. But if your going to use h202 dont use any bennys or zyme

hygrozyme can be add with the h202 or thats what it says on the bottle it might be deffernt for other enzymes ....yeah like that other guy was saying about checking your air stone id clean it ..Could be harboring the slime ...

yea but how do you clean an air stone... and what if your running like a 6 gallon tub..would you change it every week or still every 4-5 days

h202 made my slime thrive in my rdwc after noticing the slime. heisenbergs tea recipe fixed my problems and is a lot cheaper than that h202 stuff. Went from this to this in 10 days:

Hey yea i have looked into that tea before but what the hell is zho powder never heard of that. I know ancient forest and aquashield. and also i bought the h202 last week for 9 bucks i dont see making the tea cheaper...also thanks for all the help the h2o2 has really been helping and its looking alot better but still not perfect. I cleaned my airstones last week but could it be not enough air i have a 4 port air pump from petco with all four going in one bucket the pump is big enough for a 150 gallon aquarium. also i hit the bucket with more h2o2 today just to be aggressive...what causes the slime? light? not enough o2? wish i knew i would take care of it.

could it be the tap water? I always give it atleast 2 days out with air stones in it and sometimes up to a week but just a thought. Dont wanna buy a ro filter till i atleast harvest a hydro plant that produces.

H202 cant make slime thrive you just didnt add enough to stop your issue yes the tea works and im
Trying to figure out how its cheaper than h202 maybe if your only treating 20 gal but what about 55 gal?
H202 is just a more simple way

thats what i am saying too...i am just treating 5 gallons..

h202 is fine to use if it works for you, it doesn't work for everyone.

As for price, I crunched some numbers one time, this doesn't count the cost of molasses.

2 gallon water - $2
Mycogrow - $6/20 = .30c
Ancient Forest - $14/100 = .14c

So each batch costs about $2.44 and inoculates 32 gallons of water. Obviously if you are in a situation to provide your own water the price goes down to pennies. How much would you have paid for a sure-fire way to beat the slime when you were at it's mercy?

If you are only trying to prevent slime, and not purge it, one batch could inoculate 64+ gallons.

You might want to try "Physan 20"
It works pretty good!

Hey heis ive read your tea thread and its great info but what if you have more than one 55 gal
Res is it still cheeper? I mean 1cup per gal. Thats 55 cups and if theres x2 res thats 110 cups
And it takes so long to breed them, im trying to see and understand cus i would like to try it
Just seem like i would have to have a huge res to brew this stuff in

Something we have found in the slime thread is that if you are not currently fighting slime, but just trying to prevent it, you can scale the tea back to as little as 1 cup per 10 gallon. I have even heard of one 100+ gallon system that uses only 1/2 cup per 10 gal. In the case of huge systems we want to pour or spray the tea directly onto the root crown and net cup once in a while. You still want to make sure your cuttings and young plants are well inoculated, but once they develop a nice root ball and especially after they enter bud, there is room for a lot of slack. Of course this pertains to a non-organic setup.

As long as my cuttings receive a nice inoculation of mycos they will have formed an extensive network by the time they enter bud, and I honestly could get away with brewing one batch every two weeks. We have also found that big systems such as yours, are for whatever reason, slightly more resistant to slime than smaller ones, and do not need as much inoculation even when disease is present.

Organic meaning bennys or all orgaics like sweeteners carboloads
I use the following stuff
1) AN grow/micro/bloom
2) AN big bud
3) AN b52
4) AN sensi cal
5) AN overdrive
6) GH dimond nectar pinaple rush
There are organics in some but not bennys just carbs and sugars
So to provent bactiria one cup for 10 gal. Sweet and for a slimed up
Res use one cup per gal. Hope im understanding you.
