Thanks, @Cashmeh, ur right technically it's indeed an RDWC.Ill suggest your rdwc not dwc due to running it through a chiller using a pump.
The temperate the room your air pump is in will be the tank air temp. I keep mine outside the grow room in a 60 degree room. My water temps are 73, with pumping 60 degree air into the buckets, and my grow room temps never get over 78. I have never measured but I would say its lower than my water temperatures. I would guess my tank air temp to be 70 due to the 60 being warmed a bit as it travels throught the water. Yet it could be between 73-77. I use a bacteria and no chiller, and i talk in F, apologies for not converting for you.
If your using bacteria, it wont matter what your water temps are or that air temp as long as its below 74f. I dont know how it works with chillers in sterile environments.
^^^^^How much peroxide how often?
Hey @PonkyHow much peroxide how often?
Thanks, @Brotofsky , that's what I initially did in the 1st & 2nd attempts, but both ended up with root rot in the areas that were exposed to air, and hence the question of what's the ideal temp in the exposed roots area.Good luck with the grow. I love growing DWC. Only suggestion is I would leave more than 2cms from the bottom of the net pot to the water’s surface.
Hey @Aqua Man , you're suggesting the rot wasn't created directly by high temperature?^^^^^
And 72f works great for my. Root rot is not caused by temps.... just false info.
Where do you keep the water level?Hey @Aqua Man , you're suggesting the rot wasn't created directly by high temperature?
The water temperature is at a constant 72f.
I verified that there aren't any light leaks, and sterilized all my equipment before each grow.
I would increase that to 17 ml. Although I assume it doesn't smell foul now.Hey @Ponky
I got 14 gallons of RO water in my RDWC, I treat it daily with 10ml of H2O2 35%
To treat root rot yes. Also 35% needs to be diluted atleast 10 to one before adding to the system or roots will burn.I would increase that to 17 ml. Although I assume it doesn't smell foul now.
Absolutely ^^^^Maybe top feed a small amount once daily so the roots in the air get h2o2 on em?
Use this or the like…Thanks, @Brotofsky , that's what I initially did in the 1st & 2nd attempts, but both ended up with root rot in the areas that were exposed to air, and hence the question of what's the ideal temp in the exposed roots area.
Heard very very good things about this product. I use hygrozyme but haven't compared them.Use this or the like…
Expensive, but you get what you pay forHeard very very good things about this product. I use hygrozyme but haven't compared them.
I generally keep the water level at 2-3" below the pots, and diluting the h2o2 at about 1/20.Where do you keep the water level?
If you have root rot in a sterilized environment then it's not properly sterilized.
Where you diluting the h2o2?
Do you have pictures of said system?
Thanks, I will try that. The h2o2 does keep things pretty fresh.I would increase that to 17 ml. Although I assume it doesn't smell foul now.
Good idea, thanks! Would you say 5 minutes of daily top-feeding is enough?Maybe top feed a small amount once daily so the roots in the air get h2o2 on em?
Holy shizzle.. that's impressive.Expensive, but you get what you pay for
