I personally do not use h2o2 at all. Only to sterileze between grows but never with plants in them. Its a strong oxidiser and can possibly affect nutrients. If u want to use it bake weak solution in bucket and dunk ur netpots but not directly in res

Running floraflex as nutrients. I have them WAY down on ec and ppm currently because i was batting root issues and possible lockout. The new leaves look very well and growth has restarted.

As advised by a few others on this thread i have gonae to using pool shock to run a sterile system and that has cleared the root issues and smell completely (its wasnt ever THAT bad, so it was caught earlyish). When i was feeding at 1.4 ec plants were stunted and not eating or drinking. Dropped to .6 ec plants leached raising ec. Dropped to .4 and plants are drinking light amounts of water and have rose ec by .02 over the last 2 days. Ph is rising frlm 5.8-6.1 over a 24 hr peroid. It has never dropped below 5.7 nor been above 6.2

Water temps are consistant at 67° rooms temps i am boosting at lights on today to 82° as im running LEDS and im suspiciouse my Leaf surface temps are not htting what they should be (buying ir gun tomorrow). Temps before were 78° lights on and 68-70° lights of. RH is 65%.

Room is 400 sq ft, 6 oscillating fans with none blowing direct onto plants. Lights are now 4.5 ft above plants running at 60%.

Im still not conviced about rasing room temp cuz of led. I tried 82,84 and current run is 78 ,0 difference. But downside of high room temp is ur chiller might run more , so im skipping that part

Roughly 2 inches below net pot. Pretty much only about 1/2" of rootsnare touching the water and not every plant is. Wich i THINK is ehy im not seeing much water dropping?. Id assume u need quite a few roots in the water to suck up alot at this stage?

Yes more roots submerged more they will drink , but keep root ball away from water ,stem Roth can kill plant in week.

How about my ppm STILL rising 13 ppm and .03 ec over almost 8 hrs when im all the way down to 200 ppm?

Should i give it another day or 2 and see what happens?

So what i noticed in my grows that everytime i stress them defoliate ,prun , super crop etc they drink water and ppm will rise can be similar. If u see new growth thats a good sign. Are u adding any root enhancers ?

Yea i tried them and they didnt work for me at all, right off the bat. Hell i have a gallon jug of hydrogaurd i have yet to even open yet.

Well didnt helped with what ? Bennies are not magic potion. They attach to roots creating barrier to protect their health. It wont fix nut lockout or salt buildup. Drip clean will help with salt buildup. Also really common reason for lockout is unbalanced nutrients so if u followed their feed chart u should be good.

I ran them in the initial grow i had in here and had root rot plus the plants were diseased right from the cloner. Trashed all those and started iver with these girls, within the first 2 weeks of these bring in system and running bennies root rot started to come back again, so i immediatly went sterile as i cant afford to loose this crop after the first back to back lol.

In all honesty i would love to run them and have it work. Noted as well my qatwr temps have always been 67-68° as i have always had my chiller running.
