I run 72 temp, and have some light leaks I cant fix. This causes major root rot growth, and im combating it with hydroguard.
My problem comes after res changes and only after res changes. My roots were in good shape before the res change and two days later they were near black, the darkest ive seen them. I completely forgot to massage them constantly after my res change.
All this brings me to my question.
I want to keep the colony in the res after my res change. Im only adding two ml of hydrogard per gallon after my res change. Being I get massive root rot after res change, and adding this amount of hydroguard, its safe to that my colony grows and 2ml per gallon isnt enough. From my understanding the micros can eat my plants nutrients. This guy gave me something called "fish shit" meant for live systems but im hesitant. I literally hate doing res changes. My last res change lasted 5 weeks. Its stupid, I only changed it out because it had been so long. I never even topped it off lol. I just let it drop down from 20 gallon to 12 gallons haha, then its like instead of topping it off, i just dumped it all, and whipped up a new mix for it. . . I dont understand why 2ml per gallon wont work at the beginning, but after a week of massaging the roots, then everything is fine and I dont have to. It makes me think my hydroguard colony is multiplying over time thus fixing my issue and keeping it in check. Once i drain, i loose all my lil friends who help me, and the new guys just cant stop fucking and breeding or something. . lol idk man, they just aint eating the pythium.
Im wondering if I put a spounge in the res, drill a lil hole in it, and shove some roots down in it. . if it will hold a colony during a res change. Obviously I can just dump a shit ton of hydroguard into it, but thats expensive.
I guess im asking, can i create my own colony so I dont have to buy hydroguard and keep it alive somewhere and just pull out of it?
If you read this, and are like this mother fuckers retarted. . please dont reply lol. .
