The Mimosa Evo has me glued to this chair.Looking good mang, Redbull it up!
Good to see.Still no Hydroguard added, roots look white, and im not surprised. Idk why but I have a feeling alot of info regarding BBS is misunderstood, even by me still.
Was the crown rot caused from the coco? I remember you saying something about it but Idk.Just did my first grow not adding BB… until i seen an issue… crown rot. i managed to save 3 plants and only 2 recovered fast enough not to harm geowth significantly…. Only because i hit them hard with BB. Just a word of caution from experience, i have never had an issue running a live system start to finish but i have had when not
Coco was a bit wet yes but coco does not cause crown rot… a fungal species does. Anytime a favourable environment occurs you can get an infection… but any fungal or bacterial infection is a result of that species being the most dominant… just as fungi produce metabolites that are antibacterial some species of bacteria do the opposite and act as anti fungal. So the difference between an infection and no infection is what species takes hold.Was the crown rot caused from the coco? I remember you saying something about it but Idk.
I guess im assuming there are natural bbs even in RO. Whats in our humidity, how do spores travel, how do viruses spread from host to host.
After the pandemic a part of me thinks we are becoming more fragile and everything we find under a microscope has always been here.
Now my root structure looks like that of dwc, so perhaps i have something else, or the bbs from hydro guard made it through my soap and water wash, yet its hott chlorinated tap water. I do have other systems in the room that have hydroguard in them.
I wonder if bbs can travel in humidity lol, again Idk much, but what ive learned over the years is we are loosing the war on microbes that we started.
UPDATE:
Light is in the room. Tent just needs shopvaced and then i gotta go to my building and dig out my old 4 plant system. . clean it and upgrade it.
I have 7 days, but id like to get it done tomorrow. We shal see. .. . I will say im becoming more motivated as these 6 grow.
With my efforts to block light from entering, and being able to adjust water flow and air flow, and trying different temps, and fighting root rot years ago, basically I can make root rot happen if I leave the lid cracked and turn the pump off. Then if there is no mesh filter, I cannot defeat the rot without res changes, but with a mesh filter, I was able to defeat it without a water change. I guess ive just had so many variables in this res, that I just like seeing what does and doesnt work best. I can assure you, if I see any symptoms, ill never do it again lol. This test wont last years, and perhaps I shouldnt try it on this grow, perhaps I wont lol. . but I have to try it on a single tote one of these days. With these genetics I will be adding hydroguard at transplant next week. Its cool if I can save it on my veg res though for 2 weeks either way. I guess I need a good microscope so I can look at my water for myself. I should be able to see bbs with a decent scope right? idk honestly. .Coco was a bit wet yes but coco does not cause crown rot… a fungal species does.

There are fungal spores and bacteria everywhere and thats why it’s important to either inoculate or sterilize or your leaving things to chance.
I agree for humans this over sanitized world we live in reduces our ability to gain a stronger immune system and kills the microbiome thats helps protect us… but humans are not plants. It just doesn’t work the same way. Nature balances this in ground soil but not in our hydro systems.
just figured you’d rather learn from others mistakes but nothing wrong with learning first hand

You dont use bbs or corrosive additives?"important to either inoculate or sterilize or your leaving things to chance."
I dont do either and have had nothing but "successful " grows in the last 10 years. I dont think its by chance anymore.
healthy plants are pretty resilient. Have you had to deal with a setback in plant health?"important to either inoculate or sterilize or your leaving things to chance."

No, but i do clean with bleach between runs if its going to sit emptyYou dont use bbs or corrosive additives?
Nothing really, lockout about the only thing when running different varietieshealthy plants are pretty resilient. Have you had to deal with a setback in plant health?
What products do you run?Nothing really, lockout about the only thing
Gh 3part only, 2 years ago i switched to the micro for hard waterWhat products do you run?
well nothing in there to explain it. Probably maintain a very clean room but even then i cant explain it but if its workin for ya then no reason to changeGh 3part only, 2 years ago i switched to the micro for hard water
