I think I transplanted to soon, because they are not really rooted yet. The way my container is set up, I can not submerse the net pots. So I have been top watering a couple times a day. I also found out that there has been some sort of growth in the res. It doesn't seem to be an algae or fungus growth. I believe it may be some sort of water born pathogen. It's white and has the consistency of a rubbery jelly. It clogged my return line and took over the bottom of the net pots.

So today I made a smaller tub that for now they will call home, while I'm breaking down and cleaning the other system. They will stay in this tub until they are fully rooted, because the net pots can be submersed now. All of them had to be removed from their pots cleaned and re-potted with new hydroton. I also started using some H2O2 and tap water in the res. The idea behind the tap water is maybe it will help kill this stuff off.

If anyone has some ideas or knows what this jelly stuff is, please let me know. :rastasmoke:

The Soup:
  • 10ml/gal 30% H2O2
  • 5ml/gal CalMag+
  • 5ml/gal Pro-Silicate
  • 5ml/gal each of Micro, Bloom, & Grow
The temp of your res. should be about 58 degrees. That will help with algae and other water borne ailments.
