Hi,
Any guesses on what is happening here? After adding hydrogaurd I did not realize my Ph jumped up for 3 days because of work travel, but for last 3 days or since Friday night the Ph has been about a 5.5-5.8. Roots are healthy and have hit water in my DWC taking off more and more coming out somewhat fast it seems, but there is a brown filament now from nutes building up on roots and wipes right off, but is also on bottom of net cups as well, is that brown algae and/or root rot starting? Added more nutes thinking it is nute deficiency... before there wasn’t much brown stuff on roots but now there is more. I am at full strength at seedling level for general organics bio thrive grow, bio root, CaMa, bio weed, and hydro guard. Ppm is around 650 after last nights add, not seeing signs of nute burn.? No water temp yet water is almost cold to touch and I have a water heater set to 68 in reservoir. Grow room temp has been around 73-77 (+/- a degree or two here and there) during the daytime and around 68 at night time. Humidity has been no lower than 40% but mostly around 55%. First hydro grow and last grow was in soil about 18 yrs ago. I’m a scatter brain and it’s probably nitrogen toxicity by adding nutes way too soon. Any help is appreciated. I read contradictory things, but thinking my nutes should be around 400ppm or less at this point, which they were about 450ppm before last nights add. Rockwool cubes are dry now but that’s okay because I want them to feed from the DWC 100%.? LED parfactworks 1500w Cree cob leds. Hung around 39 inches from seedlings and is at 100% power. I seem to have good air circulation because I can make my tent a black hole but I do not. 3 small clip fans hung and in position to circulate air together.
Thanks Sampson.
