Ok.. Vick give me a quick run down of your air pump (litres per min).. Air stone/diffuser type.. Bucket size.. Well not bucket size but actual amount of water in L in each bucket.. What Nutes?? Root stim?? Boosters?? Although I think your in the US.. So I'll maybe not know some of them.. (Genesis formula is made in the US & imported into where I live.. Just sayin')
Slime you say.. Light leaks? You need to keep light out as much as poss.. Like 99-100% dude.. Plenty of air in the bucket.. 20L per min minimum if you wanna grow a monster my friend.. Keep the water level about an " above the base of your net pot.. Yeah.. Like keep it up as much as you can.. Ok.. You probably know all this??
I'm on this shit now.. Grrr.. Lol
Hahah glad to have ya full force.
I have two pumps running in the res..
One is a hydrofarm AAPA25L @ 25LPM
The other is a Tetra whisper 60 @ 2.6LPM (LOL)
10 Air stones total: Alita Sphere 1.5" As seen here
Alita sphere Airstones
Tote size is total 18GAL, filled to 15gal so 60L of res water total (I think this is where the problem is.. 25LPM is not enough for 60L) and the water level is 1 inch below the net pots.
Nutrients are
General hydroponics: Floraduo A, B, Rapidstart (root stim), diamond nectar
Dyna: pro tekt
29% H2o2
Current ppm is 700 (1.4EC)
PH is at 5.7
There no more light leaks at all. Covered everything the other day.
Should have definitely done the math earlier. Vira told me my pump is underpowered for current res situation.
Let me know what you think homie! Thanks again.
