Adventure of a DWC noobie ~ 4 Strains from Seed ~ 600W

Nutrients:
GH 3 Part, G-M-B
H2o2 27%
Foliar: Fox Farm Big Bloom along with soap and Neem oil
Ph up, and ph down as necessary

Pictures 1 week after sprouting when they got annihilated by my dog (chewed them to bits) But they fought through it and did okay.

You'll need a water chiller! A 1/10 HP for $350 will do the trick. I would also invest in a CO2 setup.

coming into winter now, my intake fan will be blowing 40-50F air at the buckets, ie lowering the temps substantially .. a chiller will be unnecessary as im keeping my res temps 60-70 F already.

350, no thanks.. ill stick with my 100CFM intake fan.

Week 3 of Veg 10/29

Roots havent been looking very good these past few days, added a compost tea by Xtreeme gardening, if that dosnt help ill have to clean them off myself and do a res change with h2o2 or bleech..

What could be the possible problem to this?

Subbed and along for the ride.

Tap water ppm is 350-360, trimmed roots to rid of the fungi but no success yet. Res changed and added a small amount of beech.

Edit gonna start filling 5 gallons for of water , should fix the problems i face.

H2o2 should solve any bacterial/fungal infection...are yu sure it's not a colourant from the nutes maybe?

Positive, only using Gh micro and GH Bloom with the lucas formula. Along with a H2o2

Started lucas formula again, hopefully i wont get nute burn again when i first started in the buckets. buffered the WR down a bit too 230PPM, and buffered other plants down a bit too from 450 to 350

You not feeding them any Nitrogen?!

With the lucas formula the plant gets all the nitrogen it needs from Micro and bloom, requiring no GH Gro nutrient.

But your NPK's above list no N at all?

G-M-B per 3 gallons

Ahh, cool, I thought it was 8ml of micro and 16ml bloom per gallon under HID tho?

Anyways, I'll go back to just watching, I was just trying to learn a bit too

Well they say to keep it light early in veg, started to burn them at full strength.

The Lucas dude said veg and bloom should be the same and other people said you should be able to double up the dose without burning. Whatever, I'll believe you bro. Anyways back to lurking I go!

If you look at my plants the leaves near the lower part of the plant look badly burned, i got that after using the lucas formula at full strength.. thats the results i got but it was using my tap which is high ppm.. maybe that was the problem?
