Just looked at your pictures for the RDWC and my opinion, limited as it is, is that your roots are not healthy at all for your RDWC plant, they're way too brown. Do you have airstones in with your plants or in the reservoir?

Are the air pumps inside the tent/lit space?

My opinion would be coco has to be the easiest way to grow. Almost impossible to over water. Plant problems can be straightened out quickly because of the drainage. I could go on. Coco has turned out to be my most preferred method of growing.

You need to run hydroguard from botanicare. 6 ounces to 5 gall to get rid of rot. 3 ounce to five gallons to maintain.

Ye that's why I asked for an update on how you got on... So how did u get on? Did the oxine treatment solve it?

I was asking about the air inlet as I thought maybe the water temperature was getting too high from drawing in warm air. I don't recall seeing a chiller which is why I enquire.

They're supposed to release oxygen from the water with electrolysis rather than pumping air into the water.

I've got some as a friend recommended but he doesn't have diaries or comparisons so I was wondering what other anecdotal evidence there is. It doesn't appear as though the company is promoting their product in relation to this scene so there don't seem to be many people who use, or know, the product.

O2 Grow | Dissolved Oxygen Emitters

O2 Grow manufactures industry leading dissolved oxygen emitters. No other products delivers higher dissolved oxygen levels which makes O2Grow the best choice for improving plant yields.
