I play bass, but the tryout was a bust. I went to the practice space which is a storage facility and the dude wouldn't answer his phone, and then it was just turned off. It was just some metal band I was going to check out because the singer of my last band sings for them now. I just wanted to jam because my other band only practices weekly.
Anyways, since there was no tryout, you get pictures of my nasty looking roots sooner! The ones on the right of the bin are the sad black looking ones, but the ones on the left are only black and nasty on the very inner edge of the root mass. My only guess, aside from root rot, is that it could be from when I apply the pH down. If so, whats the best way to go about this? How much should I dilute it before putting it in the res? Or maybe its just root rot and it doesn't matter.
It ended up taking THREE bins to hold the water straight. The 50 gallon Rubbermaid Duratotes from your local department store are VERY weak sided and thin. All in all though, I'd say my situation is pretty good though. I have half the plants looking very healthy, and while the other half have black roots and yellowing leaves, they don't look all that bad. They are at least better than the worst plants during my last grow so it technically IS an improvement, however still a sad one.
I added 3 tbsp of H202 and I am sitting at 5.6 pH and 1000 PPM at 67 degrees. Here are the pics, get ready to vomit! The first one is the right side, inward from the top. The second is also the left side from a level view inside the bin. Third one is the left side, which is the healthy looking side. Fourth is the bottom of the left side (see how only the edge closest to the inside is black?:wtf:) And the fifth one is my ladies.
Now I need some advice! Go for it.:jointsmile:
