wierd goo on my roots

dont know what it is, i started using a fertilizer kit from techniflora. now i have a wierd slime or goo on my roots. i used the fertilizer at 3/4 strength. any ideas.

i used 15ml of bc boost, 7.5 ml of bc grow, 2.5 ml of thrive alive b1 red, 2.5 ml of mag cal, and 10 ml of sugardaddy. i mixed this recipie per gallon. and ph is 5.8

have u been using the sperm nutes aswell?????lol

i think something like root rot might develop from this... IMO you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide 30mL per gallon and use that to flush them...

yea bro, i used sperm nutes on your mom. lol

the goo you may be refering to are the byproduct of the thrive alive b1red. its an organic nute. known to give brown roots..also keep your res. cold 58f and areated and stir it up dont let it get stagnant..water temp is a must!!!!

wow i appreciate the info, is the goo a bad thing, can i grow with out the thrive alive.

Your a sicko then mum been dead 10 yrs,,,,,,,,,,,,,

also how can i keep it cool

You need to keep your rez. temps for hydro around 75 to 70 is very good. Must change
rez. at least every two weeks. I do mine EVERY week. Have had good results. I use
hygrozime and I put frozen gel packs in the res to cool. I'm running DWC W/ 400W digital, 3 12" airstones in a 14 gall. rubbermaid. CHEESE femmed from Greenhouse. All five seeds germed and am waiting for some preety girls, I hpoe.

I am a complete amateur doing a first grow -- but I stopped an outbreak of weird slime with a trip to my pet store and a quick look at my present supplies. A few drops of chlorhexidine (a common antibacterial) and a tiny bit of anti-parasite medication (which contains antifungals) and my system has been running clean as a nun's undies.

Before anyone asks: aquarium antifungals are safe to use in small quantities. I've seen them used with aquatic flora and fauna which are a whole lot more sensitive than hemp.

Also note: if you're adding beneficial bacteria to your system you REALLY don't want to be putting in any chlorhexidine.

Isn't it great when one hobby can cross over to the next!! lol

Freeze bottles of water, of the right size for your system, and put them in the solution. Pretty simple.

PS: How was she? The best you've ever had, huh?

frozen water bottles help. make sure it isnt slimey..the brown discoloration should be normal
