I HAVE AN AWESOME SET UP FOR AEROPONICS WITH 2 AIR STONES LED UFO 90W AND TWO CFLS, BUT AS OF RECENTLY I HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS..
MY 4 WEEK OLD PLANTS STARTED TO GET YELLOW LEAVES WHILE I WAS FLUSHING FOR FOUR DAYS. AND FROM THE LOOKS IT LOOKED LIKE NITROGEN DEF SO I ADDED A LIL GROW BIG BY FOX FARM, AND SUPERTHIVE,.. WELL IT DIDNT HELP. AND I NOTICED A LIL ALGAE ON MY ROOTS. SO I CLEANED OUT THE SYSTEM, CLEANED THE ROOTS IN A LIL H202 AND WATER DIP. AND THEN WAITED A GOOD 2 DAYS AND THEN NOTICED NO GROWTH! CHECKED MY AIRSTONES AND THEY WERE COVERED WITH ALGAE, WELL IT WAS BAD SO I RAN H202 30% (ABOUT 4 CAPS FULL IN 15 GALLONS), CLEANED THE SYSTEM. AND NOTHING JUST STUNTED MY PLANTS MORE AND THEN I STARTED SEEING BROWN DYING LEAVES SO ABOUT AN HOUR AGO I JUST TOOK SOME COCONUT SOIL SHIT THAT WAS IN A STRAWBERRY GROW BASKET KIT THINGY (LIKE THE ONES FOR TOMATOES) AND PUT THEM(MY DYING PLANTS) IN THE SOIL, ALSO TOOK LIKE 12 CLIPPINGS SO THAT IF THEY DIE IM NOT STARTING BACK FROM SEEDS AGAIN. I HAD THEM LOOKING SO GOOD TOO. BUT I KNOW NO WHY I HAD THIS ISSUE. IT WAS BCUZ I HAD A BLUE TOTE AND DIDNT KNOW THAT LIGHT LEAKS, PLUS WATER, PLUS FOX FARM NUTES = ALGAE. IT WAS ALL OVER THE AIR STONES AND CLOGGED MY PUMP, MY SPRAYERS EVERYFUKINTHING! TAKE A LOOK AT MY VIDEO WHEN THEY WERE LOOKIN GOOD. ILL POST A PIC OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE NOW, LATER ON. BUT ANYWAYS AS I SAID I TOOK THEM OUT AND STARILIZED THE AEROPONICS SYSTEM AND NOW HOPING THEY WILL HEAL IN THIS SOIL. THE COCONUT SOIL SHIT IN THAT STRAWBERRY KIT LOOKS VERY GOOD FOR WEED. BUT ANYONE WITH EXPERINCE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF U EVER TRIED SWITCHING FROM AERO TO SOIL THANK U FOR UR TIME!!
I PLAN ON SWITCHING BACK WHEN I FEEL THEY HAVE MADE A FULL RECOVERY BUT I DID MAKE SURE TO GET RID OF ALL LIGHT LEAKS TODAY IM JUST NOT COMFORTABLE GOING ON WITH THIS AERO SETUP UNTILL I KNOW FORSURE THERES NO MORE ALGAE!!!
