Those people in Cali should go stick their heads in a toilet 3 times and only pull it out twice.
Not you of course. Just everyone else.

The other thing is we are only dealing with 6 gallons of water here, stability will be tenuous at best.You are going to see some PH swings no matter how hard you try. I would assume the 5.8 to 5.7 is just the solution settling to it final number. I use auto PH'ers and they still have some swings specifically as the solution gets older which is kind of what I want because if the PH is dropping at the end of the Rez life it means the plants are eating the nutrients as I am hoping.
I think Moe is passing on the jacks information I may have given him. Jacks is extremely forgiving if you follow the recipe. 3.79-2.52-.99. You can get very good results using this formula. I am in the process of changing up the mix some but I am not going to start talking about that in an open forum. I have problems because of added Co2 and light strength.
I do not really belong in the state. But where am I going to go besides Alaska or Washington to get the fishing I get here. Bluefin Tuna are already off the coast of Southern California. Big schools found by spotters plans. This is my year to go for a cow!!!! AKA 200pound TunaThose people in Cali should go stick their heads in a toilet 3 times and only pull it out twice.

I love the salmon in the great lakes. Steelhead and lake trout get big for a landlocked wannabe like me.I do not really belong in the state.

Yeah i agree… i think the ph swings are combinatorial kinda thing. If there is in fact precipitation of silicate. I did notice a slight but of sediment with the jacks micro that I attributed to the chelates so there is that.I'm coming up to speed here, but it seems like this plant is not happy and is probably severely underfed.
I'm guessing the plant is having an impact on the environment. If this were cannabis I would be all over feeding her more and getting things balanced. Plants in trouble tend to cause PH swings (generally down I have found) or the bacteria on the roots can cause a swing.
Yes but 0.1 in 24 gours is pretty dam good. You do want some drift but typically upwards… this could partially be due to low nitrogen as when the plant takes up nitrogen through ion exchange it should raise the PH of the media (in this case water) The plant can also minimally alter ph in the rootzone to aid in nutrient availability and in that case it may try to lower the PHThe other thing is we are only dealing with 6 gallons of water here, stability will be tenuous at best.
They would eventually sink. No oder. The only thing that was 'slick' feeling in either bucket was the intake screen on the recirculating pump and the power cord for it. The chiller pump was clean, but it was only added several days after firing up the system.I don’t recognize the floaters.
If you let them settle do they float or sink when the water stops moving? Any smell? Any possibility of contamination of a grease or oil maybe for manufacturing of the parts?
If you still have them in the cup we can experiment a little to see what they are. If biological we need to get to the bottom of this so you know what to do
THat's encouraging. I'm hopeful that Aqua's diognosis of severe mal nurishment, and that fits with CannaGrannie's mag deficiancy suggestion, will clear it up. And those 'floaties'? If you're right and they're benign junk, and I sure hope so, then it's even more likely that I starved them. Time will tell.Bio slime/film is what the particles look like.
Coming from your pump and hose fits also IMO.
In live water I have seen this very often .
Mostly forming on silicone tubing and plastics in a glass tank.
No harm from them if that is what they are .
YEAH! I totally flipped out. scrub, H2O2, rinse over and over.Bio slime is common in new aquarium set ups.
Many flip out not knowing.
In the aquarium there are fish and shrimp that love to eat that stuff.
Just keep an eye on where you have seen it and maybe clean the pump and hose regularly.
Thats harmless bacteria… looks like tissue paper floaties right?I spent most of yesterday afternoon changing out the water and cleaning the system. Best as I can tell, something it seems, was collecting or growing in my recirculation pump. What is was, ?????? I have no clue!!!!
1. put trainer into freshly nuted, pHed and Orca'ed glass of water
2. drain system, floaties - lots of floaties
3. 1.5gal Chloramine tap water w/ 1/2 cup 3% H2O2 and clean bucket walls, bottoms, hoses and lines - drain
4. rinse w/ 1.5 gal tap ... over and over, 6 times and still getting tons of floaties - see pic
5. track down sorce of floaties because this is rediculas, there's no floaties in the water in the buckets, but is in the drain water??? opened the impeller/propeller area and found the remaining tan or brownish floaty stuff. Cleaned and re-installed pump.
6. filled system with another 1 1/2gal tap w/ 1/2 cup H2O2 and ran and soaked all hoses, stones, buckets, pumps, bla bla and drained. water was 90%+ clearer.
7. rinsed system with 1.5 gal RO water, 99% clean and clear!
8. filled with fresh pre-treated, pH'ed, Orca'ed and Jack's 321 nutes at about 60% water from reserve reservoir and reintroduced plant.
9. 8:pm last night reading were water temp - 70*, pH 5.9, EC 1.0 .... 6:AM this morning - pH was 6.0 and I lowered to 5.9 ....6:PM pH was 6.0 again and I lowered to 5.9. Water temp and EC are the same. Canopy temp is 79-81* and RH is 35-38%.
The trainer looks better a bit better after 24 hours in the new solution and certainly isn't any worse. Nothing like the 24 hours previous to my finally taking action.
I gotta get with it with this hydro DWC stuff.
Pictures of residue on the bottom of the plant pot before any rinsing and pics of floaties. Yuck.
...and as always, THANK's for you advise, comments and expertise!!!

Drain water after 2nd rinse.

Yup this ^^^Bio slime/film is what the particles look like.

What you want to do is watch me very closely.I might do OK in hydro after all?
Hydro is easy. LolI might do OK in hydro after all?
Coming from the fish workd id say your 10 steps ahead of where you think you are… same shit different pile I believe is the proper expression here lolI might do OK in hydro after all?
