    DWC started same problems as always?

Change the frozen bottles more often or use a bigger one. Second search for Brewing your own Beneficial Microbes on this forum and...

    Yeah thanks I got your pm, I was looking into a CMH for the other 2 HighBays I got but was still in the process of doing some research for info. So you think the spectrum is truly better? Does the light look natural as opossed to the blueish gray of MH or the yellow/red of HPS?

    Cleaning Hydroton, Bleach, H2O2 the Science

    Yeah I would just rinse it off also but I had some Brown Slime issues and needed to kill off all the microbes living in it. I needed a way to sterilize it quickly, I did not feel like boiling 50lbs of hydroton so I came up with a safe way to use bleach. If it helps one other grower get rid of...

    Nutrients= FloraNova by GH No Superthrive this time as I have done more research and some say it causes slime bloom. Air flow is good in the rez's except when the slime covers the stones so I soak them every other day in H2O2 to clean them off, rinse with clean water then replace. Temps...

    Help Me Plez.

    Well thats hard to say, being outside a number of things could be wrong. The soil, PH, nutrient deficiency or lockout. You need to provide more info like are they in "outside dirt" or in soil you provided in containers or not. Do you water on a regular basis or rely on rain?
