Hello!
So I started a DWC indoor grow about a month and a half ago. Having quite a few issues. First off, these plants are about 1.5 months old, and maybe 5 inches tall. Yea. real slow. I've had a ton of issues, soooo many things grow in DWC's, and the heat has not been helpful. I thought I fixed my issues, (light leaks, air flow, reservoir temp) but now I have a new issue.
These are the things I add to the water:
I added Great White for the first time a couple days ago.
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients
So is this root rot that I've heard of? -Unfortunately I washed most of the brown off before taking a picture. Woke up to this and washed it before thinking about making a post. The longest root was pretty much completely brown. - at least as dark as the darkest brown root in the pic.
The only reason I didn't immediately dump and clean everything is because the plant/leaves look good, no drooping. Some small yellowish spots but looking pretty good overall. And the brown washed off pretty easily. Plus i've read it might be nutrient stain? not sure
Pic of the reservoir. Lots of brown stuff growing. Not sure if this is the 'beneficial' bacteria and whatnot or if its root rot.
The reservoir was cleaned and filled Tuesday afternoon, looked good Thursday afternoon, Friday morning looked like this.
Suggestions? I know I should probably just clean it out and add new water, but I'm constantly having to do this. Like twice a week I get growth of some sort and I have to clean it again. Was supposed to be once every 2 weeks!! I'm going through sooo much more nutrients than I should be and constantly disinfecting is starting to become a huge pain in the A.
