My room is at 50 all the time. I think i need a large dehumid. Only have two whirlpool 70 pint units. Bump on this question and any dehumid referrals?

Week two of veg. EC 1.3. Advanced Sensi, H2O2, Dyna gro mag pro, Zone. Ran Bleach through at the beginning before refilling and dropping the plants in. Why am I getting brown slimy roots???? These are pics after cutting out the worst of it and running H202 for a few days.

Anybody have any bright ideas?
Not to be a broken record but drop your EC...at 2 weeks into veg your plants would be doing well 0.5-0.7. Keeping roots of young plants emersed in solution that is too high equates to a slow burn of the root epidermis and reduced water uptake...as stated above. Also be careful during pH adjustments and nute add backs if you go that route.
We've also had numerous reports over the past years of AN Sensi being problematic in the UC. Of which, when nute was changed to something more compatible (DM, Canna Aqua, H&G, Ionic) plant/root health immediately improved. Though you'd still need to reduce the concentration even with those nutes.
Disclaimer....we've also had some report having good results with AN Sensi, just by far the minority. But of those that did experience success they ran the EC much lower, not approaching 1.3 until well into bloom.
It's typically necessary to drop the EC when going from drip or E&F into a UC....I say this from countless conversations and experience over the years. Generally a drop of up to 50% is necessary to acct. for the prolonged exposure of the roots in the nute solution.
Though the roots emerge healthy, they are slowly burned (not unlike your skin when exposed to intense sun) and the damage will increase or persist if the exposure continues. Just trust in the lower EC and you'll likely be pleasantly surprised at how well the plants can do with less....it's why water culture works so well.
Also, EWC can work great....but will def work best at lower EC so as the minerals salts don't discourage beneficial microbial growth. Remember that pathogenic microbes are more likely to thrive in high EC than beneficial microbes which is another reason to error towards less.
I need to find a humidifier for my room, I have a 13 gal system now but I need at least twice that. Any suggestions would be helpful. I can buy another but space is valuable in the room.
Hey UCHQ, I just want to start off by saying thank you to all the knowledge and support you provide your customers!! You guys make an awesome product n I just want you guys to know that I am one happy customer!!
With that said, my question has to do with the change in lighting recommendations y'all have for the Evo systems. When i first bought the 18 site Evo, the recommended lighting was 10 1000's, now it's changed to 10 600's.... Is there a reason for why you guys changed your recommendations from 1000's to 600's??
Been thinking about purchasing another 12 site Evo and was wondering what the optimum lighting conditions would be? 6 1000's? 4 1000's? or 6 600's?
Ok guys. I rinsed all my roots down really good with H2O2. Then ran H2O2 in the system for a day. Things seem to be improving. I am replacing the res at .5 EC. New root growth looks pretty good today.
Adding my bennies today as well.
Brewed up tea for 48 hours. This will be my first adventures outside the sterile system. Thanks again for the help, I was forgetting the basics but I think I got it in time. Glad your all willing to address the same topic over and over without making me feel an stupider than I did already. :mmm
Question: Should I raise my chiller temp for the beasties? It's at 68 now but it seems the bennies may enjoy something in the low 70's.
