Hey guys just fininshed cycle 2 of flushing my system, i still noticed some slime trying to cover the roots, washed roots again. 3 gal dist h2o phd, no nutes, 3 26w cfl, 1 150w hps. Are there any additives that will stop the build up on the roots? attached is a pic of plant
thanks in advance
if need i can take a shoot of the root system
Are you using cal mag plus ? looks like a lack of one. What is your water temp? very important. A little h202 may help but sounds like warm rez. Change water a much as you can, 68 to 70 temp is beat for oxy. A closer look looks like your rockwool is dry and hydrotron rocks look dry too. If It's a bubbler you may want to bring your water level up and more bubbles if you can.
Give us a shot of roots.
ok guys and gals its been a week since my last post and problems. I think ive started to get the girl striaght. Ive added h202 and has seemed to help a bunch. I read many different theories on application of h202, so any additional advice would be appreciated. Water temp seemed to be the main problem with the girls setup, so i am using the frozen water bottle idea for regulation( very time consuming though as temps are reaching 90 in the room, i got 1 fan blowing 1 sucking, humidity at 78%. Attached are the pics.
1 150w hps
4 24 watt cfl
4 gal dwc
full strength grow nutes(just started)
Ok one pic.Any comments on flowering? the lady is 9 inches tall. Ive got plenty of time on my hands so waitings not a problem. Would c02 be recommended for one lady? So many questions sorry- i read alot but with a grain of salt. ( i love this shite)
No c02 if it is in a area where you live. Like a closet in the house. C02 can be deadly. It can be used and temps need to go up some but not rez temp, it still needs the 70 mark.She Looks better, keep using the h202 with your nutes. Your humidity need to come down to 40% or less to give max buds. It's all about tuning in and your getting there . Good work and keep us up on things. Last pic, she looks healthy, way to go.
thanks locnar. Trying hard at it. any suggestions on h202 levels when using 3%? will post more pics over the weekend. Again thanks advice:D
Loc Nar Co2 deadly? Are you sure your not thinking about carbon monoxide which I have read on here is usable in a box during seedling stage to promote females. Carbon Dioxide can't be that deadly to humans as we drink it in fizzy juice although it is part of what causes the stale air taste in aeroplanes. I agree you would have to watch the medium being used to create the Co2 if you have young children or pets as some of the tablets or microbes used could probably have dangerous effects & I wouldn't recommend taking a blast from a bottle regulator.
Sorry but yes JackHerer. We use it all the time but in this application we flood the room. C02 is heavier than air and can fill a room and sufficate you just as bad as carbon monoxide. We have had many warnings about using it in a people living area. We must watch heavy gasses closely. I had at one time N20, nitrous oxide which is a heavy gas too. 3 friend opened the tank in a bath room and I barely got back in time to save thier lives. Just a heads up, NO SLAM. I don't want anyone hurt or killed. Be carefull people.
Anyone else want to back me up on this or tell me I'm wrong and there's no hard feelings here.
Oh, sorry 1 or 2 table spoons h202 to a gallon I'm think will be fine. Keep the pic's coming. Good luck.
Loc Nar - You are right about this. CO2 could potentially displace the air and one could suffocate.Quote:

Someone mentioned carbon monoxide - CO will poison you. It gets in your blood and doesn't get out easily and while in your blood displaces the oxygen.
What Loc Nar is talking about is displacing all of the air in the room with CO2, so that the air you are breathing contains no free oxygen. This would be similar to putting a plastic bag over your head - after a while you run out of oxygen and suffocate.
Ok here are a couple of more pics, Temps in the res went up bit cause i blew my knee out surfing and had a small amount of neglect yesterday(mri and to much oxycodone). Since ill be laid up awhile she'll get alot more attentention. Again thanks for all the support. Pics will come every 5 days or so. BTW the roots seem to be taken off good, will start her darkness on monday(suspect she will be about 15-16" then)
:)
pics were not loading trying again.....sorry:(
Loc Nar
No I don't doubt your experience as I haven't used large quantities before, but we do come accross low to medium densities of Co2 quite regularly.
I'll stop using it in the closet by my bed then.:stoned:
Sorry to here about your knee man but the plants will love you. Looking great.
Better safe than sorry, good for you Jack. If you weren't growing huge amounts you really won't see much difference.
Going for total knee replacement and have "fill in helper" (wife) for the lady while in the hospital(2 Days). Changed the solution still with "grow nutes" for the flowering on monday. This is correct right? Am i correct not to switch to bloom nutes untill 7-10 days after 12/12. Ive also read to its good to give 24/0 darkeness b4 12/12 is correct? She is growing shoots left and right. Also will she double and triple in size in 12/12? The advice and my efforts seem to be working very well. Again thanks for all the support
Nutes should be alright. Yes double to triple the size during budding. I saw no difference with 24/0 when going to 12/12.
Good luck with the knee. My mom had hers done afew months ago. If your pain pills don't work stay on them to change. It's going to hurt and be stiff but do your walking and exersize. it will pay off in the long run.
Good luck with everything.
ok day 2 of flowering and i added some mag/iron supplement.(notice the leaf color). Will be switching to flowering nutes on sat. Also wanted to say that the h2o2 is working phenomanly. Roots look white and furry. Took 2 cuttings for a mother and round 2. Will post pics once clones root(if)! Any comments are appreciated
root shot and side shot day 3 flower
looking good. keep it up.You should do well. Good luck.
Beautiful roots.. keep up the good work
