Keep the hands out of the cookie jar... curiosity killed the cat remember.Ok I took a quick peek at my roots. They have grown but they are disgusting. I gave them a quick spray and seemed to make them less gross but they still seem far from ideal.
Just seen some roots broken offOk I took a quick peek at my roots. They have grown but they are disgusting. I gave them a quick spray and seemed to make them less gross but they still seem far from ideal.
That looks slimy and the start of rotOk I took a quick peek at my roots. They have grown but they are disgusting. I gave them a quick spray and seemed to make them less gross but they still seem far from ideal.
@User59204626117 thats the 2nd time lol!
YupThat looks slimy and the start of rot
You got this man... just a lot of info to take in at once... so ask as many times as you need to truly understand.The slime is from my nutrient mix. The floracious plus makes it brown and turns everything else that’s supposed to be white into a brown color. Plus there is chunks of brown solids that have accumulated in my hydroton and apparently on the roots too.
I’m gonna let it run and do it’s thing for a few days and see how it goes from there.
will get a few small things tomorrow.
ph meter
Hygroguard
Not getting h202
Yeah anything you can validate and preferably calibrate. If ya can have them check it against thier known meter if ya buy it at the hydro shop. Always a good idea to grab some ph 4 or 7 or both calibration solution to verify and calibrate but if ya can't right now don't worryThank you so much for the time and explanation. I’m going to get that stuff tomorrow and might have to pass on the blue lab ph pen since it’ll be forever and just get something locally.
I will report back and keep you guys updated.
Go to Amazon and order kcl (potassium chloride) mix 10 grams into 100ml of DISTILLED water or enough to just saturate the solution so it doesn't hole anymore salt. There is your storage solution. A 1lb bag is like $10 and it will last you a lifetime.I have all that and a vivosun ph meter that won’t stay calibrated.
“if it dries it dies”. Learned that the hard way. Also need storage solution.
Dude I use the same nutes lol plus a couple extra but don’t worry you got this. I’ve been down this road and it’s aggervating but luckily simple fixes. For example you can see the root pic was rot heaven, took Aqua advice and the second pic was just a week later but you can see the floramicro does color roots a little.The slime is from my nutrient mix.

Could just use 3% whole milk to test as well should always be 6.3 to 6.9 if you test some and it comes out 4.0 well your pen needs work or that’s some funky ass milk you got lolYeah anything you can validate and preferably calibrate.

They look pristine bro.... you cleared that up in a hurry lol. I think it was like a day or 2 you seen new growth?Dude I use the same nutes lol plus a couple extra but don’t worry you got this.

2 days on the dot it went super fast, so I’m hoping when @User59204626117 see those photos he won’t give up all hope and keep looking for that light at the end of the tunnelThey look pristine bro.... you cleared that up in a hurry lol. I think it was like a day or 2 you seen new growth?
Don't use it now.... it does have some organics i have some also. Only the gh 3 part, epsom, hydrogaurd and enzymes right now. That shot feeds microbes like crazy and you want the hydrogaurd in there before using it.I havnt given up hope. ive seen what these plants can do and believe that soil to hydro can be done. they are tough girls for the most part.
I meant floracious plus. its like a black thick liquid that smells like death and one drop will turn an entire gallon dark brown.
Oh lol alright well to be fair I use liquid karma from botincare and it does the same thing but it’s all the yucca, kelp, sea weed extracts and stuff.I havnt given up hope. ive seen what these plants can do and believe that soil to hydro can be done. they are tough girls for the most part.
