Help Required...

one thing i realized when i was fighting the slime is that the bigger the air pump, the hotter it runs, meaning if you are pumping warm air into yoru rez, you are warmign up the solution in the rez. are you running a chiller? turn it down a bit about 5 degrees lower than you'd want to

i run mine at 63 (chiller setting) and the temp in the rez stays about 68

Thanks for your advice Tat...I will quarantine and buy some Mammoth P...

Hi guymandude
The res sits at 18degrees without a chiller... ( that's 64 Fahrenheit Lino)..... UK temperatures... There really isn't much, if any slime tbh...
The pics of the roots I took were dogshit so I'll take some more today...
I was pretty sure after everyone's input and my research that it's root rot but now thinking about the fact there isn't any slime could it be something else??
Thanks for your help everyone

Don't think it's heat... temp is 26-27 degrees Celsius.. about 80f...
They aren't too close to the lights either.. which are Dimlux 315's
They've been getting extra cal mag for last 5 days now...

id skip the cal mag and give Epson salt 1g per gallon of water mix it in a glass of warm water then add to your water before u add any other nute

with as bad as your id flush to make sure your not just making a lock out worst


I had mag problem for some time

and 80 is a lil hot not bad but a lil on the warm side do u run any co2?

this is a pic of one of my old plants

I hear u can but that is not something I am into that is a lot of salt and can burn ez

what is your soils ppm?

what is your soils ppm?[/QUOTE]
They are in rw cubes in clay pebbles in pots on flood and drain tables, the res is at 600ppm

sorry when I say soil I just mean in what ever you growing in test the run off for ph and ppm

The res ph drifts upwards a bit over the course of a week as it diminishes.. the ppm stays about the same..

going back and looking at your plants u for sure have burn them girls so u going to have a lock out so just giving more with out flushing ant going to help much

Most of us use F not C on the Farm and most of us realize that the world is looking at our threads so we TRY to specify what were talking about as to not look foolish and to get help from a science approach. I dont want to debate on F and C as your comment exudes confidnece and expertise level of growing but your pics dont. So refrain from my input and let you harvest those gems.

Ok Lino I'd rather not get into a pissing contest but seen as you're the expert you must have realised that the temps I previously stated in Celsius would be below freezing point if they were in Fahrenheit so i didn't think about TRYING to be specific as an EXPERT would realise immediately. Anyway.... take care x

Guymandude...
Not sure about root rot now. Absolutely no slime anywhere at bottom of pots... pics included... I foliar fed one plant with a light Epsom salt spray today and added root protection to the res.
They all look very marginally better since cal mag I think..
Res 67f
PH 5.5
EC 1.2 (600ppm US)

them roots should be white

fuck u nuke them plants might want to get some new seeds going even if some how u get a harvest its not going to be worth the time

It's weird how the others are fine though??
