@Ash-a-Ton, you mean just clean water? No "hazard" chemicals to kill it? Then im smiling big time... it feels like its not even a problem when you write.

On the upper side of the net pot its looking like this:

Day 6 from coming up

Today leafs look a bit darker, aslo new growth, the small leafs looks a bit twisted. Have to be because of an excess of nutrients. Third girl is good, she also have the biggest root-system. Either its a small adjustment of nutes or let them ride it out a couple of days.

Yup. 3 days ago. After a fresh feed. Both mine got super slimed. Not sure why. They were not happy. Curled leafs and all. Quick rinse in shower and a mister to get the last bits back in the res. Praying again with in hours. Just water

Now @green genes and @derek420colorado
Would both be able to tell you what causes it. Think it's not enough air. Or too warm. Or light. Lol or all 3 lmao. I honestly don't know. Kinda winging it baha. But the slime will choke out your roots. But need no chemical to remove. So your safe to not stress lol.

Worked like a charm!!!

Oh yes, i misted her roots and 95% got off in under a minute, but i was a bit scared the roots would brake and fly away, not sure how much they can handle, but the roots are fine now. White and sparkling. Yeees! Thank you very much
I was a little worried but i know i caught it in time.

Another question, without looking att my ppms, would you lower it a bit or let it be?

And it looks like the girls allready have started a tiny bit on third node, that has to be coz theey are in DWC, have never seen that this early(day 6), my girls in coco/peat does not have it.

I don't read ppms lol. Winging it. Lol. But I think after the rinse they are good to grow. . I change my res every 2 weeks. And add nutes every week. Usually close to bottle instructions. Usually extra call mag

Allright. No ppm reading, thats how a grower with feeling should grow. Also, the slime was only on the roots of one plants.
I think i leave them as they are, slightly under manufacturers advice
Lets rock!

Hahahhaha. Little like me, always ask when i dont know, or when im not 100% sure. Better call a friend, then make a chance. I think i used "call a friend" option for every "who wants to be a millionare" in the world.

 

[Mañ'O'Green]

Okey, so i checked roots today, the roots are growing at a good speed, BUT..... i found something I would recognise as the start of slime.

View attachment 797360

Im pretty sure im correct.
I have not used SM-90 or hydroguard yet, but it will show up tomorrow or latest Wednesday, 100%. Was expecting it today but because of a late shipment it has not arrived to me. I did order it, but then it was suppose to be re-sent to me.

Anyway, can someone confirm my toughts that its slime? The darker "balls" of water looks yelly.. like frog-eggs in consistent to my eyes.

@budelee @Mañ'O'Green @anyonewithdwcknowledge

At the risk of sounding like a broken record " I WOULD NOT EVEN START A DWC WITHOUT HYDROGUARD". That is the beginning of root rot.

I have seriously got to start learning about hydro, when you guys get it dialed in, you are smashing it!!!
