Did you not use air stone?
Did you not use air stone?Lol. Ya. I was so hyped for dwc. I tried dwc and got root rot so I switched to rockwool. That way I don't have to worry about oxygen in the nutes. Rockwool worked great handwatered so I figured a top feed system is worth a shot.
Yes. My environment must have a lot of spores or something. I got this brown stuff almost immediately.Did you not use air stone?
That's diatoms. Harless and often seen in a new res with no real biosystem. They feed on silica and phosphates if I remember right. Just keep it off the roots is all.Yes. My environment must have a lot of spores or something. I got this brown stuff almost immediately.
I work at a large water treatment facility and after our water runs thru the RO process it’s run thru decarb towers to strip off some of the CO2 that built up as the water runs thru piping. That raises the pH. After that it’s hit with lime to protect the pipes as it travels.Carbonic acid will lower ph and the carbon in charcoal take years to break down... its such a negligible amount it's irrelevant.
Co2 is a different story and completely different compound
Yeah most often calcium carbonate is added or you end up like flint Michigan. Acidic water and pipes are a no no.I work at a large water treatment facility and after our water runs thru the RO process it’s run thru decarb towers to strip off some of the CO2 that built up as the water runs thru piping.

That stuff got all over My roots and I was unable to disinfect. I bought 27% peroxide, cleanse and even bleach. I ended up transplanting it in February outside into soil. It's still alive but really stunted. I was thinking of taking a clone if it was still alive in the fall. It's a ethos cresendo.That's diatoms.

Brown slime or like fluffy kinda stuff... of slime that was root rot. You must run sterile or live or your likely to get it.That stuff got all over My roots and I was unable to disinfect.

I noticed it as a light brown slime on the roots. It was caked all over the air stone as well. My only picture of the grossness.Brown slime or like fluffy kinda stuff... of slime that was root rot. You must run sterile or live or your likely to get it.
I tried to run sterile after the change out but the roots never recovered.Brown slime or like fluffy kinda stuff... of slime that was root rot. You must run sterile or live or your likely to get it.
Beginners luck.Dude. You're not supposed to date those kind of ladies. Better call the clinic....
This looks like a scene from MacBeth.
That's the nastiest mix of disgusting I've seen in some time.
So will cannabis uptake carbonic acid (via roots) an convert it into co2 within the plant? Or does an aquatic do it at leaf level.... ie. taken in though the leaves, via photosynthesis processing.Yeah most often calcium carbonate is added or you end up like flint Michigan. Acidic water and pipes are a no no.
When co2 is dissolved in water it creates carbonic acid and that drives the ph down. In open water it's not an issue as it will off gas quite easily but under pressure is a different story.
That's exactly how I used to feed my aquatic plants co2. You can't just push co2 through an airstone as it not very effective so I built a co2 reactor to dissovle it and kept surface agitation on the low side
The lime is to act as a buffer for the carbonic acid created after from the break down of organics caused by chlorine
I also think the floranova series probably not the best for dwc environment.Brown slime or like fluffy kinda stuff... of slime that was root rot. You must run sterile or live or your likely to get it.
The aquatic leaf does and no cannabis will not take up co2 through the roots. It actually expells co2 from the roots.So will cannabis uptake carbonic acid (via roots) an convert it into co2 within the plant?

So it's exchanging that for Nutes? Does carbonic acid feed ectomycorrhizal fungi?The aquatic leaf does and no cannabis will not take up co2 through the roots. It actually expells co2 from the roots.
Gas exchange is the same in aquatic plants, they take in co2 at the leaves and release o2... you know what you just gave me a great idea to explain how much co2 increases gas exchange in plants.So it's exchanging that for Nutes? Does carbonic acid feed ectomycorrhizal fungi?
