think im having a problem, yesterday was my 1st day into flower and when i checked my ph this morning my roots have a slight brown tinge to them..couldnt take a pic cause the light went off as i was finishing up. my ? is im using the gh 2 part nutes, stuff looks like mud, and extreme serene also looks like mud. wondering if these nutes will turn roots a brown tinge or if its slime er algae..usually? my temps this morn were 72 in one bucket an 73 in the other..put a frozen bottle in each and brought it down to 67 and 68..

Put another frozen bottle I let mine drop to 62 then by the next morning they are right around 70 this is just due to the 400W hps and because I'm not using an insulated lid. Take a photo if you can. May need to read the beneficial microbes thread...

folks, i have figured out how to stop the brown slime in its tracks with very minimal root surgery. after a day of searching, reading, calling every possible person u can think of..hehe my lady is going to love this phone bill lol.
its called flora shield, the label says to flush for an hour or so, a rep at general hydro says to let it run for 8 hours in dwc, 1 ounce of flora shield per gal of h20. i used a 5 gal bucket with 3 gals of h20. 2 gallons were at room temp and 1 gal was cold from the fridge..brought the temp down to 60. i ran it for almost 9 hours, pulled the baskets out and the roots were WHITE! then redid my nutes and now almost a day later no slime temps is at
69 with a frozen bottle of water. i hope this can help ill post pics later when the light comes on. please feel free to ask ?s

Here is a little tip for root growth. I start my seedlings in a small one gallon tote. The smaller net pot and tote lets the roots grow faster. This is what you want in the first few weeks. I just started a new grow, my seedling is 2 weeks old... and i have lots of roots in the tote. Its almost time to transfer into the bigger tote. Nice big healthy roots are key to a good grow.
I also add some of olivia's cloning solution to the res. for root development.
Good Luck.
