Yes that could be exactly OR the opposite problem somewhat which is that the roots get so crammed in that red bucket because there is nowhere else for them to grow to that they end up dying off and then rotting. This is the issue we dealt with several times in previous grows and really got out of control in our last few grows when our zyme product become outdated and we didn't know it and couldn't understand why we were starting to see so many root problems all of a sudden.

I then beat my hydro man into a corner and got hold of the following information: First of course was that my cannazym was too old. He also sold me something called root excualator which I haven't used yet but was quite expensive. He also recommended something called Rhizotonic for the roots to assist with root growth.

What's the difference between these? Rhizotonic helps grow better, more and stronger roots. Cannazym takes dead and dying roots (as in later flowering plants or where your roots die off because they are all crammed together and makes them an inert material....ergo....they don't rot! Pretty cool eh?

The only big restriction is that you cant use either on in conjunction with H202 (or the Root Excel thing either which is for treating root rot I'm told) so it's one or the other.
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . First Time DWC W/ Water Farm Buckets This is my first Bucket grow ever. I have done tables before and had great results Soil ect... Then I seen the excellent results People were getting out of 4 bubbler plants with LST. So I Just purchased 2 8 pack Water Farm Bucket Systems. After 5 days I can see that I need to buy a stronger pump and more line cause I cut it all down. I'm running tap water 7.8 dropping it down to 5.8 to 6.3 W/ PH Down. I set up the system without washing the Hydrotone and balancing the PH level of it. I did Rating: 5
