Don't even sweat it. Plants recover well. Those spots aren't a concern. Brown decaying tips are. Things like that. Once they get going they grow very very fast.

Thanks so much for the help

best practiceWhen my water gets out of wack I just replace it early. With a properly mixed batch.
I used distilled water .Few things prolly need lined out. I can tell your overfeeding it due to the red stems. It could potentially cause this issue, yet your root structure in one of those picks looked unique.
Few things. Do your ppms increase or decrease. What nutrients are you using and what ratios. Do you start with tap or ro. Are the underside of those stems red or is it just the top.
To lower your ppms all you do is add distilled/ro water to your res.. Then adjust ph. Ph should be 5.6 and slowly climbing. If it starts dropping.. Your need to add more nutrients or dump.
If you want to be successful you need to buy a ppm meter that can be calibrated, and a ph meter that can be calibrated and tested. I have ph and ppm calibration solutions to test my meters with. If I notice something different, I test my meters first to make sure they are accurate before adjusting.
I was told to use distilled water so which water should I use spring ? Or purified? Or? How am I supposed to buffer the water ? I thought the buffering powder was only used to calibrate the meters I didn’t know it should be added to my feeding water as well. And you think because I have a lock out that’s why the spots are appearing ? Should I flush her out? Just water this feeding for a few days and then slowly introduce nutrients?Your water might lack buffering. And your PH is swinging. And your nutrients are locked out. Distilled water is for radiators.
I use tap water because it's got decent hardness already. And the right amount of calcium. You don't use calibration solution. Buffering distilled water is a whole ass scientific process.I was told to use distilled water so which water should I use spring ? Or purified? Or? How am I supposed to buffer the water ?

Do you have to let the water sit for 24hours? Because that’s why i didn’t go with tap water because it’s not feasible for me & I seen one guy do it and he said he lets It sit for 24 hours. And yeah it seems like it, this whole process has been very very very stressfulI use tap water because it's got decent hardness already. And the right amount of calcium.

No. Straight from the tap. One part. No issues.Do you have to let the water sit for 24hours?

No. Straight from the tap. One part. No issues.Okay should I just flush her for feeding today ? Give her just tap water and then slowly introduce nutrients back through the week? Or just give her two and nutrients today. My only concern is maybe the nutrient lockout so maybe she needs to be force to absorb those nutrients she’s locking out
So in live systems the chlorine will destroy your bbs. You can add chlorinated water to sterile systems without fears of destroying colonies, because they are already destroyed. If he is running live, which I have no idea if he is, he should for sure let it sit out for 24hrs, or whatever that time frame is.No. Straight from the tap. One part. No issues.
I just mix up the feed I'm gunna use in a fresh bucket whenever there's a problem. I feed until the end. If something goes wrong I do a water change. Last few days. Just water PH adjusted from the tap.Give her just tap water and then slowly introduce nutrients back through the week? Or just give her two and nutrients today.

This Is what I was trying to say but some how it’s something different
Sorry forgot to mention. Peroxide environment. Well controlled temp. No sterile. And the source water is decent.So in live systems the chlorine will destroy your bbs.

I narrowed the root cause for my rampid pythium growth to me adding clorinated water, then adding hydroguard, it basically killed them as soon as I put them in there. So if hes running high temps, i would not reccommend it, but yea if hes using peroxide and chillers sure why not add it strait to the pot. I think all that sounds correct lol. .im pretty baked

I’m gone myself and I’ve read This 4 times and still I feel lostSo in live systems the chlorine will destroy your bbs.

So add peroxide to my tap water? I’m so sorry I’m confusedSorry forgot to mention. Peroxide environment. Well controlled temp. No sterile. And the source water is decent.
