BTW thanks for answerin all my ?'s man.
-can I use too much hydroguard?
the reason I ask is I had a big root rot prob last time and I am using hydroguard now:o
-question 2: i have algea and I cover everything up; will this stuff hurt me or cause fungus to grow....cause if not I'd rather not clean it every week(i have a large system)
i keep temps right but seems like maybe where I live (desert) likes fungus and stuff if i ever let the temp or humididty go up at all. Even after a huge scrub down of my rooms i get the fungus among us. I know more about fungus then cannabis !!
*afterthought*hmm maybe should grow shrooms....dont think its safe doing them that often though...not enough customers either..probably just end up with a room full of dried and frozen shrooms!
oh another annoying ? do i have to add epsom salt to my GH 3 part. so far things seem fine without it. then again my grow isnt perfect
you have algea where? Of course you need to clean that shitup everyweek bro, you shouldnt even have it in the first place..
there is a light leek in the res, algea cant survive without light...why do you think you had root rot last time? lol it was prob in the same setup...you said when the humidty goes up it happens? why are you letting it go up? get a dehumidifier and do what ever you have to do to keep temps, and fresh air circulation in check.
if your res temps are not in check, the grow room temps are not in check and you have light leaks to your res all the hydroguard in the world isnt going to save you.
posting pics of your setup would also help alot
peace
1st no its not in the res on top of the trays....which i clean constantly
2nd i live in a VERY dry climate the humidity in the room does not get above 30% ever
3rd grow room temp is 80-90 degrees (using 1500ppm co2)
4th i clean the entire system weekly (which is a pain in the ass the res is the easy part) and the entire room between grows.
My question was not how to control algea but whether algea was bad. my other question was can I used TOO MUCH hydroguard
and my third question was do i HAVE to use epsom salt if i am on 3 part gh
so please stick to the question. dont assume i dont know proper humidity lvls or that algea requires sunlight for photosynth...i am plenty aware...thank you
dont assume you dont know proper humidity levels?? and you let it stay under 30% throughout the whole grow?? hmmmmm what am i too think?
your not even telling what kind of system you have..first you ask if you have to clean your system everyweek becasue your too lazy, now your saying that you do clean the system weakly? your making no sense...
why would you want to use more than the suggested amounf of hydroguard? would be a waste seems to me, im sure no idiot has tested it out and dumped a whole bottle in there,but you should try it an let us know how it goes. And YES of course you could use too much, lol
you ask "will this make fungus grow"....then you say you know more about fungus than cannabis?? so either that prooves you dont know shit about cannabis or again making no sense
sorry for trying to help you out, kinda hard when you dont post more info...
as long as your res is light proof, and the res temps are staying under 70f and room temps are in check, you will not need to worry about root rot. 80-90 is good assuming you are using the co2 properly.
you DONT have to use epson salt...it doesnt matter what nutes, it depends if your using tap water or RO...with ro you might want to ad some epson/cal-mag.
thats why you need to post more info if you want real answers...instead of saying "stick to the question"...maybe you need to go do a little more research
...................................
lol...bro im not telephone tough guy...ill drop it....i couldnt pistol whip u from here anyways...
pistol whip, lol...drop what man, you asked questions i was trying to give you answers..you came off arrogant in your response to my first post bro, i was saying post pics and you will get helped out more, peace
Alga is bad. Is that what you are trying to ask?
My question is why it's there and how sure are you that it's alga?
You would like some help correcting your problem or are you just making a statement? I don't want to assume anything at this point.
I'm a little confused and don't want to insult anyone.
well.... i thin i fixed it. I had some light leaks..I was just wandering if algea was bad. I clean daily...seems like my area is highly prone to fungus and algea. I live in the esert and any moisture at all causes a lot of problems.
I will post pics tomorrow if it spreads ( i have removed for third time leaves with spots) thanks for keeping this thread alive btw cause i was gettin frustrated;)

INoxia.. HI!
algae on top is very common for many growers and really is no big deal.. many growers try to do everything they can to stop it... but is no big deal.. there are even growers who have algae all over their roots... I personally would not tolerate it on the roots.. the only problem with algae is it takes oxygen from the water that should be going to you plants..
so if the algae is just on top (not in the water/reservoir), then it is no big deal..
the real problem is lack of O2 for your plants... this can cause root rot.... is your reservoir water also at 80+ degrees....? try to keep your reservoir at 70-75 degrees.. 80 is to hot..
O2 is everything..

algae is different than fungus or mold.. fungus and mold can not be tolerated at all!!!!!!!!!!
Alga in a grow is NOT GOOD at any time any place. It's a minor problem yes but a problem is still a problem and should be corrected. It's an early sign of other problems that have not showed them self yet. It should be corrected as soon as it's noticed. The source should be found and corrected. Sometime it's as easy as sand on top of your soil to keep the light out. Or in hydro we use net pot covers until the leafs are large enough to cover the grow rocks.
GK you are the one who was complaining in the lounge about information not being correct.
Just thought I would correct some minor miss-information.
Watch it buster!!!!!
LOL
Algae is not a BIG deal if it is not in reservoir... and not around your stem..
I stand FIRM!!!!

LADIES and Gentleman...
a pond in my local neighborhood had so much algae in it that it consumed nearly all the 02 and many fished died... they took the algae out of the pond with fish nets and the fish are doing better... the algae will come back..
they will need to do regular maintanance to keep the algae under control..
I would reccomend you add H202 to your water and consider getting air stones for your reservoir... and of course, keep algae out of your reservoir..
or your plants will end up like the FISH in my HOOD..
