I guess I'm lucky, I've had my air hoses get a lil slick and when I first started growing here I was using tap and got a lil slimy but a dose of h2o2 and then hydroguard ever since. But you know if you get that old fish tank smell that something is off. The lower temps should work for you. And like wish said maybe cut the affected roots. How are they looking now?
hahahahah wild jungle.....
@Theassbandit
you know whats up...gotta get that res temp down....but h202 should do the trick.....also try an enzyme.....I use hydroguard for myself but you said that didnt help at all....
you can also pull up the lid and cut out all the infected roots....then run h202
dude it really is a nitemare.....sometimes my wife would help but .......uggghhh
I was using kangaroots with my hydrogaurd. I wish I could pull up a bucket to see in there. We will wait until harvest.So this is just some information I got from Matt at Botanicare when I call them that I want to pass along.
Orca and Voodoo Juice have a whole host of beneficial bacterias, or baccilus innoculants. The difference with hydroguard by Botanicare is the fact that they have isolated the one most powerful fastest growing bacillus strain and bottled it. Instead of a bunch of diff varieties.
It's my opinion that Hydro guard would be the best solution for water-based medium and orca and Voodoo Juice would be better for soil based growth because they have more organic components and need the variety of bacterias for decomposition, but that has become my understanding☺

So my system is likeYeah @wasfromks I'm mad jealous , those pics of your grow look awesome. Are you running single detached buckets and just keeping their room temperature a.c.'d so the buckets stay cooler?
So my system is like View attachment 598715 the large res is outside the tent. So it's not taking up tent space or being exposed to the heat off the lamps. The controller bucket is in the tent simply chose that because majority of the day nutes are sitting in my res and get pumped to the controller bucket like 5 times in a 24 hour process and for only 15 minutes each time. So I don't really need to worry about temps of my nutes in the tent too often because they aren't exposed to the heat of the lights. Now outside of the tent were my giant 55 gal. res is I have the ac ducted to blow on the outside of the res and my clean air intake is low on the ground next to that res as well. So by doing this I kill several issues with one stone. I have my tent temps perfect, I exhaust out enough hot air and bring in enough cool air for it to stay constantly perfect inside the tent. Also my res temp is like next to perfect because it's on cold cement and next to the ac. I didn't have to buy a chiller and use more utility. I have to run my ac this time of year anyways its getting warmer where I am. I like this system honestly. I think a large flood and drain tray system that would be the size of my tent is more ideal for me considering my limiting factors physically to do scrog crops much more. Also it's way less time invested before you get flowers. To get up and going and experienced this is a legit kit. Now that I see how it was made I probably won't buy another vs making one. If someone wanted to see how it works or experience or for moms this is legit. I will probably convert this to a mom set up and keep 12 different strains in a constant veg. Get some flood and drain trays and have a perpetual system. Have a flower tent and a veg tent.....it will be another half year or year before I start to consider doing all that. Let's see where I get with this cycle and I will make some moves I'm sure.
That's the info that cause my to buy hg. It sucks you're having issues. I guess I'm lucky. I've seen side dwc nightmares. But I swear this shit is set it and forget it. Like I ain't even checked water level in 2 days. I know their good. Once you get it dialed in its easy. One thing I haven't done is bring in cuts or anything from someone else grow.So this is just some information I got from Matt at Botanicare when I call them that I want to pass along.

Man fk them you'll get it dialed in. Don't give up so quick.Everybody in my state is trying to learn to grow (now that AK is legal). I feel I learn faster but I see all the competition popping up and I'm like, fck.
